at first i wasnt trying to get yet another dcs aircraft.

but after doing a huey cargo mission to build patriot SAM batteries on pre-contact server, it was fun

i ended up pre ordering because:

1) helo with digital nav.. at least from all the crazy MFD's, more helos that can program in waypoints, i am for it

2) build farps

3) I WANA BE A RAMP DOORGUNNER.. my DIY doorgun joystick controller needs CH47 and M3M .50cal.. CANT WAIT!

I've been playing DCS for 11 years. It helped foster my love for aviation. I continue to love DCS, and for the last 5 years I've been flying the CH-47F as a career. It's an incredible aircraft and I'm excited to be able to fly it from home!

what I remember the most about it when I was stationed on a USAF base that had Army with aircraft and tanks too,,, we got Chinooks and everything in Nato. I remember putting equipment in there and the fuel tanks on each side... around 1980. I think it had 6 or 8 fuel tanks. I rode in other helos, but not the Chinook.

my reasons 🙂

1. its an absolut icon of aviation,so its nearly a must 🙂

2. logistic is a very interesting part of militäry operations, that bird will ad very much depth in that part 🙂

3. i had the plesure to fly in one of these 🙂 not so common as a german soldier 15 years ago 🙂 so therefore its also a must .)

4. it is very advanced in avionics an technology in general

The thing I'm most excited about is the fat cow feature!

I'd be interested in flying in a cockpit with glass displays, as I already have a version with analog instruments in X-Plane 12 and i don't think I'll be thrilled, as I've flown this helicopter before, so it won't have a novelty effect, but it will be interesting to compare.

Well, and of course, door gunners are a very cool thing about DCS.

It's iconic, and it's something different to all the jets and attack choppers I normally fly.

I really hope ED do logistics well and it becomes a staple feature of missions without lots of 3rd party scripts.

How fast can a fatcow tank be installed .....it must be a pallet affair,quick change ?

Im looking forward to trucking some fuel into the depths of hell to allow the attack boys to complete their mission.....beer in one hand and a hamburger in the other.

Takes a long time. The empty tank weighs about 800lbs and requires quite a bit of muscle to get it into place and locked in with the bracket system. Usually at least 2 hours to have one installed.

I like that it's big, fat, and fast. And it has sophisticated nav systems but no real weapons, so it's all about the flying, but still has cool tech toys. 

 

Until the C-130 comes out, I guess this will have the highest people capacity of any plane or chopper.

I’m waiting to hear it almost as much as to fly it.

At times, usually when just getting started and warmed up I’ll hear other aircraft taking off or flying overhead and I’ll smile at the sound of it. Something DCS really does a good job on is the sound of aircraft. There’s nothing that sounds the same as a Chinook and it’s bound to sound good here too.

Wakka wakka wakka wakka 🙂

Also, dropping off someone that can shoot off the ramp riding a quad or a jeep would be a lot of fun. Imagine rolling along riding in a row of quads all trying to get up the ramp and in. Or being the pilot making em chase ya.

The brutality of the huge double rotor machine carrying troops and supplies to where its needed. The loud sounds. The joy of actually piloting such an improbable airborne banana. !

How about long range CSAR.....will there be a refueling capability,anybody know ?

No air to air refueling, Wags mentioned in the youtube comment of the recent take off video that only the MH-47 Chinook has that. And hinted at wanting to correct the misleading store page info.

be able to drop loads without landing... very short takeoff space...

Excited less and less nowadays

that slowly I have come to realise this won’t be released anytime soon. 

😄 I shouldn’t laugh but I thought the same thing.

Be here soon…

I've always liked this helo - quite iconic.

For me, I'm looking forward to having something that is straightforward to fly. There are days where I come home and just want to relax. On those days, moving some boxes from point A to point B and not having to worry about SAM or AAA etc is exactly what I need.

It does What I like best , but I have been having ambivalent feelings about it since I heard it would come. I think it need a ai crew that I have not seen around in order to do real chinook work. It is probably a very stable platform for normal work. And I got mi8 for that. I hope I will enjoy it longer than it takes me to learn it. I really hope I will enjoy it as long as I enjoyed the MI 8
