SunDown Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Like many others, we have been wanting a great helo sim like LB2 to come out. I've been tracking KA-50 from the start, and now that its almost here I've been pouring money into gear. So far I've got a new X52 HOTAS, IR Track, Pedals and just purchased one of Left Sides collectives from EBay. I still have to get a new PC and I think they are even going to charge for the sim itself :) I know it will be worth it, but it may have been cheaper to just purchase my own helicopter! Next thing will be a new printer after I burn mine up printing the English flight manual. Any word on when that will be released? Keep up the good work ED!

RobGordon Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Keep the faith! :D There's nothing comparable out there on the market. It is definitely worth it! Worth the money and worth waiting. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekkinho Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I've got me all of the above (+Cougar HOTAS being slightly more expensive) and my next step is a decent touchscreen. For a flight sim enthusiast like me there's no limit! Of course general peripherals budget can easily exceed preplanned expenses but it's all worth it!

Keep up the good work ED! your just like me I too was looking for a replacement for LB2 best Helo flight sim ever. I have just built this new pc that im using now, will be buying x52 pro but opting for the cyborg because the game has force feed back (and turbalance) will be getting the pedals as well.

graywo1fg Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 (edited) i have tried overclocking and for almost a year i had it running good but i got really REALLY tired of blue screens and restarts so i just left it at stock..... now whenever i try to put in my old working settings nothing will load and i have to pull the CMOS battery out and put it back in :( i give up.... i have tried several different voltages and they all fail and out goes the Cmos.... i'd rather buy one now than spend hours and hours to get one stable overclocked. **Edit @ Joey Sure! :P but actually i might save it for my server Edited October 27, 2008 by graywo1fg Voice of Jester AI Death From Above =DFA= Squadron Discord - https://discord.gg/deathfromabove http://www.twitch.tv/graywo1f https://www.youtube.com/user/Lonewo1fg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalintc Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Its worth it... you get a free KA-50 delivered to your doorstep with every purchase!! Comes free with a vikhr starter pack and 200 rounds of AP ammo! :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G3 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Its worth it... you get a free KA-50 delivered to your doorstep with every purchase!! Comes free with a vikhr starter pack and 200 rounds of AP ammo! :thumbup: and a groundcrew that are ready 24/7, along with instant delivery of a new ka-50 everytime you turn it into scrapmetal. it will be worth it, if you enjoy your sims, then it's worth it. big screen, good pc, quality hotas, collective if you're lucky, trackir, pedals. the initial investment may seem steep, but well worth it in the long run. with the odds of becoming totally engulfed in blackshark for many hours, you will appreciate having all this equipment, i have no doubt about it.

Stalintc Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Sorry, im not mocking :) merely injecting some humour or trying to at least! I have got all the kit that you mention, I wouldnt fly a sim without it now... I look back on the days of using my mouse for the view and a single joystick with the thoughts of "how the F did I manage?!?!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
