http://rt.com/news/syria-government-helicopter-crash-623/ Machine is broken apart and engulfed in raging flames before it hits the ground. Was it shot down? Wreck seems to fall from height. What weapon was used, what do you think? It seems helicopter was too high to be effectively reached by small ground fire, so maybe he was hit by man-pad or some AAA?

Enjoy flying it :)

Yeah, it really annoys me too. Windows registry and file checks are just lame necessity to prove your licenses. Data about users and what products they own is already on ED server. ED knows via my account name I own A10, BS1, BS2 upg, DCS World, FC1, FC2... Installing BS1 should not be necessary to get BS2 working with upgrade or DCS World BS2.

I'll go back on topic and give my best answer to original post. Michaelc136, since you are trying to decide what to do with your budget. I suggest, if you purchase DCS and have spare money to invest in VRS you will not regret that investment. However DCS platform is growing platform while VRS uses outdated FSX technology. If I were you I'd rather keep remaining budget for future DCS addons and for hardware, and for hardware only you will need to save a lot every year. By sticking only to single best plaftorm (DCS) you make yourself a big favor (budget and time-wise). However if you prefer to learn F/A-18E instead of A-10C, Ka-50 or P-51D for now, then alternative as VRS is preferable. Upgrade then to DCS when modern fighter addon like Super Hornet is available for DCS.

I have the *feel* while flying VRS addon or PMDG addon for FSX. I do not have that *feel* with any other default aircraft or addons I tried for FSX. I do fly Cessnas in RL, but I do not compare its flight model with a virtual Superbug I have never flown. If this is about *feel* alone, VRS wins together with DCS for me and X-plane. However I will state the same - DCS should be first purchase. I back up SUBS17's opinions, but I am not VRS fanboy, I am DCS fanboy and I use VRS as complex trainer preparing me for DCS Superbug :)

First "flight sim" if it qualifies, Harrier Attack and LYNX on ZX Spectrum :P

AJ.eightFive I am using your VAC work and I thank you for that because you have saved me countless hours of work. I am concerned as we run multi-player server and due to cheat prevention had to disable exports. Unfortunately DCS server does not allow to scale integrity checks in such way that it allows multiple selection of "approved mods" while not allowing to connect with any other user changes to .lua files. So far VAC method is 100% compatible with integrity checks since its method is not connected with .lua exports and works both for FC2 and DCS modules.

I have and love both, but obviously DCS should be your first purchase and VRS second.

First PC was PC AT 12MHz (!) and first two flight sims: Flight Simulator 4.0 and Fighter Bomber

All I can now say is November Delta Alpha about this awesome game!

I have pre-ordered LEGENDARY subscription and received access to CLOSED BETA. Downloading now... :)

Count me in, as long it is more Mechwarrior 2 and 3... not crappy as MW4

Sabre-TLA, I just can't wait for your upload :)

Then you have our money secured :D

I would want to, I have been asking for F-111 back in the nUBI days :P

Please stay safe, don't go Rambo or anything! Hope to fly-in with you some other time then.

AlphaOneSix, I will be in July on vacations in your vicinity and plan to repeat flying from PALM BEACH CO PARK (LNA). I will take a friend from Miami for a short flight, and I wish for a flight to KEY WEST. I have been flying already from LNA to the south and to the west, but without any landings. Just sightseeing beaches and boats. Maybe you come visit LNA on that day I will be flying? :)

Thanks! Found it on map! AlphaOneSix, I made my PPL(A) from EPDE, which is Deblin airport of Polish Air Force Academy. Taxiways shared with TS-11 trainers, M-28 Bryza, and F-16Cs were visiting us too, and mostly SW-4 type choppers on perpendicular pattern. I am currently member of Silvair club in Sobienie-Krolewskie, EPSJ is my homebase ;) I am flying today cross country EPSJ-EPPK; refueling; EPPK-EPMO; EPMO-EPSJ :) some vids of EPMO and EPSJ here http://www.youtube.com/user/shamandgg/videos You can follow my flight today if you Iwsh using http://aprs.fi and search: SO5AGT *sierra oscar fife alfa golf tango, that's my amatour radio on board reporting position live. There is no need to refresh F5 website, it is an app that refreshes view by itself. This website works and looks great from smartphones too, you may broadcast your track live to your friend and family this way, all you need is radio on board on amatour band with APRS features. You may still see my previous 12h track history. It will update once I takeoff today. 09:30 UTC takeoff is planned. http://aprs.fi/#!mt=roadmap&z=11&call=a%2FSO5AGT&timerange=43200 This is how my Better Half knows where I am and if flight goes as planned.

AlphaOneSix! Congrats! Welcome to the club. What's your home aerodrome or airport you fly mostly from?

That's the F, E is Superbug

Here you can watch some of mine:pilotfly: http://www.youtube.com/user/shamandgg/videos thumb up if you like :)

Instead of waiting for ED to do this, make your own DC project and run it. We have been playing Crimean Incident dynamic campaign in FC1, now Georgian Incident in DCS/FC2, and with just few incidents everything is running and is very immersive. I wouldn't swap it for Falcon's DC engine ever, LOL. It actually saved my interest in FC2. It is the best online multiplayer flying I have ever been to.

As AI unit maybe, it could be interesting to see cruise missiles being launched from under water.

I had to revive it just to give a big credit and hug to my beloved ED friend since 1996 with YOU! DCS WORLD /// DREAM COME TRUE :D Even I just have a beta, I still can't believe it! Pinch me! Shaman bows! :moderator can close this thread: my big wish actually have been realized ;>
