Death-17 Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Any info if DCS is going to introduce other helicopters? 1 ACPI x86 based PC, Windows 7 64Bit, AMD Phenom IIX4 965 3.4GHZ, NVIDIA GTX 560, 8 GB RAM, 1 32" primary monitor, Track IR, Saitek pedals, custom cyclic with CH Pro base, custom collective, both using BUO836X cards
lawndartleo Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 I hear an Apache, maybe. Seems to be some community push back against it, though, in favor of Fixed wing aircraft. Time will tell.
sobek Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Mi-24 is also possible. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
Death-17 Posted November 21, 2009 Author Posted November 21, 2009 I was hoping maybe a trip back in time with a Huey gunship over Vietnam, or even a slick model to land troops in a hot LZ. With the level of DCS simulation it would be interesting. I'm a mechanic on the Apache, although I don't fly(offically) I have got about 12 hours in an OH-58 on the stick. I've tried MS FS, Xplane, and numerous other titles but BS is the only one that comes close to the real thing.

NRG-Vampire Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) . I'm a mechanic on the Apache, Oh, cool job soldier. :P So, - may i ask you? - have ever seen anything "special" weapon on an Apache ? (except Hellfires and unguided rockets) Edited November 21, 2009 by NRG-Vampire
Pilotasso Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 I hear an Apache, maybe. Seems to be some community push back against it, though, in favor of Fixed wing aircraft. Time will tell. No not realy. The apache just went to low priority mode. ED has no visible contracts at this time for it, maybe others already in the pipeline. ;) .
Boberro Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 I would like to see Apache, nice helicopter, but as it was said chances are rather low :( Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ
topol-m Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) I hear that after A-10C the new module will be DCS: F124. Probably because of the high interest from the military. I just can`t wait to try it :joystick: Here`s a picture: http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/2676/f124.jpg Farman F124 Edited November 21, 2009 by topol-m 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

RazorbackNL Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) I would prefer the Mi-24 more than the Apache. In fact I would appreciate a whole lot more Russian choppers. But it would be nice to see a helo with skids instead of wheels. And then it should have to be the Huey or maybe an MD500. But that would probably not be happening in this lifetime.

Speed_2 Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Well, the Apache sure would be sweet in multiplayer with its front and back seaters! Mi-24 would only be cool if they included an Afghanistan theater with it that we could create A-10 missions for :) arrogant, realism-obsessed Falcon 4 junkie

Frederf Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 I'd definately want a 2-seater of something. ED would have to step up their AI and coop MP efforts for a 2-seater aircraft which is probably why they won't do it.

ED would have to step up their AI and coop MP efforts for a 2-seater aircraft which is probably why they won't do it. Remember Janes F-15E? To do the two-seater there in a mostly single player game, Janes allowed the player to operate everything while the game was paused- you could operate the radar, switch radar modes, slew the LANTIRN, etc. I'm wondering if something LIKE that would be necessary to allow single player DCS Apache? Either that, or they'd have an interesting AI challenge for making a good co-pilot/gunner. The necessity of a team of two folks that work well together to fly the Apache would create a new dynamic in MP flights that I don't think has ever really been there before in any game. It would be so, so cool! arrogant, realism-obsessed Falcon 4 junkie
Frederf Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Yeah, that's the idea and the excitement. I certainly hope we're not forced to pause and switch seats to get the full mileage out of a 2-seater. The ideal single player Apache would be a very good AI co-pilot. Multiplayer would be very easy by comparison.

Multiplayer would be very easy by comparison. Yea, I agree. However- you have to be VERY careful. Why? Well, the AI is ALOT better at finding targets than we are. One of the primary and most important purposes of the co-pilot/gunner is to find targets. If you make the AI co-pilot gunner as good as AI helicopters seem to be at finding targets, you'll be making the Apache hugely easier to fight in than the Ka-50, and flying in the co-pilot gunner position will not be done in multiplayer flights very much because a human co-pilot/gunner would be so much worse. The AI co-pilot gunner should be comparable or slightly worse than a decent human co-pilot/gunner if this is going to work correctly. arrogant, realism-obsessed Falcon 4 junkie

Ghillied raptor Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 There are a lot of interesting aircraft I'd like to fly.The MI-24, V-22 or MQ-9 would be fantastic.
press Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 I remember reading not so long ago that someone here managed to make the Mi-28 flyable with the Ka-50 cockpit. I can`t seem to find the post or to a site from where I can download this mod. If anyone can help me, it would be great.
EtherealN Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Note that they did it with a Ka-50 flight model, though they claimed to have modified the flight model in some way. It is not an actual simulation of the Mi-28. Also, I am fairly sure they have not released this modification.

Frederf Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 I'd certainly love if all the aircraft in the DCS modules were of a similar background ethnically so it was more reasonable to have multi-type coop missions. A MiG-29 flying CAP for a flight of A-10s is just... weird.

(& Apache & more) Yep, not released (yet) http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=47002&page=2 Okey, like this then: If and when there's a DCS:MI28, it will not be linked in flight behaviour to the flight model used with that mod. That's someone's approximated impressions of the differences between the Ka-50 and the Mi-28. At best such a mod would theoretically (I don't know if this is possible) link the simplified AI flight models to the flyable aircraft, replacing a high-fidelity Ka-50 with the AI Mi-28. I'm just not convinced of the merits. :P [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester
