I'm very interested and may pick it up around Christmas. Don't have a lot of cash on hand to spend at the moment. It looks really good.

Only played a little but so far I love the game. The flying simulation genre is one I have never had much experience in which has made it all the more exciting for me. Just purchased a Flying stick online so going to wait for that to arrive before I get into the game too much.

I'll get this eventually. Right now I'm too busy with other things and I don't have too much money, but it's probably better seeing as a Bohemia game tends to be better enjoyed after some serious patching.

James161324, if you want an attack heli simulation, get DCS Black Shark. It's the best combat heli sim out there.

Mizeak

answer can be yes and no, depends if normal person still expect the game behave more as sim than arcade game

it's definitely not as hardcore simulation to bone like was Hind or are now DCS simulationgames

yet the helicopter flight-model is more precise / complex / feature rich than in Hind

I've been watching this for a couple months now.

Sadly I don't own a flight stick and busy with my Xbox.

I'll get it eventually.

So, if I use a joystick, does the throttle control ascent and descent?

    This game looks pretty good. I also like the effort that you've made, to communicate with people on this forum. Will buy this after I get my new PC.
