OH-58D Announcement


Recommended Posts

This summer? :)

 

That would be awesome.

 

End of 2020 is probably more realistic I guess...

 

 

 

Plenty of time for barundus to make more of his great videos :music_whistling:

 

BTW, any ETA for the next one? :D

I am struggling right now:

 

Should I wait for the Kiowa or should I buy the Huey to get started with choppers?

Before you call everything a "bug": RTFM & try again! Thank you. :music_whistling:

I'd start with the Huey, to learn the basics, as it's underslung rotor head should make it little more stable/easier than the KW.

 

The KW itself will *perhaps* have the "twitchiness" of the gazelle, mixed with the complex avionics of the Ka-50.

 

However IMHO, neither of those have a "typical" helicopter FM.

 

My son started with the Gazelle so it is doable but as there's a lot of overlap in the Gazelle/KW mission profiles, I'd go with the Huey if your intention is to eventually buy the KW.

Kiowa & Apache it will be nice cobat set as "Pink teams" (or as you like Hunter-killer team). Just need to wait as somebody will announce UH-60 and there is a chance I will put my AV-8b to hangar for a loong time 😉

 

 

I think the AV-8B and the A-10 assisting would be awesome as well.

I really hope the OH-58D and AH-64D have maximum compatibility with their systems.

 

It will be the newer better version of the game team Apache 🙂

Total controls Apache MPDs set to virtual Reality height with brail enhancements to ensure 100% button activation in VR.. Simshaker Jet Pro vibration seat.. Uses data from DCS not sound.... you know when you are dropping into VRS with this bad boy.

Other than BFT and lasing for Hellfire there wasn't a lot of systems compatibility in the real world.

Not exactly. It gives you an idea of where the good guys are and it can give you an idea of where the bad guys are (if anyone bothers to update it when in contact), but I wouldn't use it for danger close CAS. It does have a very handy text message function that is great when you have different radio fills than a ground unit. It does grealy assist in SA for friendly forces or aircraft in congested airspace.

Copy that.

A environment where I will use it in DCS would be fabulous.... but we will get there.

Quick question. Will we be able to shoot rifles out the doors?

Modules I look forward too: BO-105, OH-58, AH-64, BS3, Eurofighter.
Wishlist: Ah-1 (any variant), HH-60 Pavehawk/ UH-60, A-4, AH6, and F-4

Joystick/Throttle/Rudder pedals: T.16000 Stick, TWCS throttle, and T-Flight rudder pedals.

No. Not worth the payoff to implement. This has been covered many times, so you can search if you want more detail.
