KalAbaddon Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 DCS is famous for a lot of things, Having one of the best helicopter sim experiences is one of them. I think you should look in to adding an unarmed version of either the Huey or Hip to the base free game. As an owner of both those modules I would not feel ripped off and I think that it would help Helicopter sales by letting people try it and seeing how excellent it is. Also iirc DCS started as a heli sim with the blackshark module.
Svsmokey Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Hmmm , not a bad idea . Just started flying the Huey in VR , and i would have more people appreciate the awesomness :) It almost seems like two different worlds in the same map , 100 feet @ 350 knots , and 20 feet at 50 or less . 9700k @ stock , Aorus Pro Z390 wifi , 32gb 3200 mhz CL16 , 1tb EVO 970 , MSI RX 6800XT Gaming X TRIO , Seasonic Prime 850w Gold , Coolermaster H500m , Noctua NH-D15S , CH Pro throttle and T50CM2/WarBrD base on Foxxmounts , CH pedals , Reverb G2v2

ZlinMan Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 I support this, own all helis too... Waiting for the return of: -TLP- -True LAN Play- Multiplayer without permanent internet connection to ED master-server. Plane wishlist: Antonov - AN-2
Mr_sukebe Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 Maybe if ED did the equivalent of the PF51, e.g a Huey with no weapons or sling load capability 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat
Hammerfly Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 Santa approves this idea. LOL I'm still saving up for a new computer and VR gear just for heli modules.
Harlikwin Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 Maybe if ED did the equivalent of the PF51, e.g a Huey with no weapons or sling load capability Just came here to post exactly that. New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog. TrackIR, HP Reverb (formermly CV1) Old-N-busted: i7 4720HQ ~3.5GHZ, +32GB DDR3 + Nvidia GTX980m (4GB VRAM) :joystick: TM Warthog. TrackIR, Rift CV1 (yes really).
Kang Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 This is unlikely because it would mean a major amount of work, probably, but just think about a H-13 or a Mi-1...
Svsmokey Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 You kidding ? Merely stripping weapons/slings vs creating a whole new module ? 9700k @ stock , Aorus Pro Z390 wifi , 32gb 3200 mhz CL16 , 1tb EVO 970 , MSI RX 6800XT Gaming X TRIO , Seasonic Prime 850w Gold , Coolermaster H500m , Noctua NH-D15S , CH Pro throttle and T50CM2/WarBrD base on Foxxmounts , CH pedals , Reverb G2v2
Kang Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 As I said, not expecting that unlikely idea to happen, but it would be a nice thought.
KalAbaddon Posted July 3, 2019 Author Posted July 3, 2019 This is unlikely because it would mean a major amount of work, probably, but just think about a H-13 or a Mi-1... The Huey and Hip in game already have the option to remove ALL weapons and pylons and optional armor they have. All ED would need to do is decided to do it. Also given that they seem to be planning on releasing a few helicopters soon ish it would be good advertising for the new stuff, as well as proof to anyone undecided on it about how good they model helicopters.
