Include a helicopter in the Free DCS:World

DCS is famous for a lot of things, Having one of the best helicopter sim experiences is one of them.

 

I think you should look in to adding an unarmed version of either the Huey or Hip to the base free game.

 

As an owner of both those modules I would not feel ripped off and I think that it would help Helicopter sales by letting people try it and seeing how excellent it is. Also iirc DCS started as a heli sim with the blackshark module.

Hmmm , not a bad idea . Just started flying the Huey in VR , and i would have more people appreciate the awesomness :) It almost seems like two different worlds in the same map , 100 feet @ 350 knots , and 20 feet at 50 or less .

Maybe if ED did the equivalent of the PF51, e.g a Huey with no weapons or sling load capability

You kidding ? Merely stripping weapons/slings vs creating a whole new module ?

This is unlikely because it would mean a major amount of work, probably, but just think about a H-13 or a Mi-1...

 

 

The Huey and Hip in game already have the option to remove ALL weapons and pylons and optional armor they have. All ED would need to do is decided to do it.

 

Also given that they seem to be planning on releasing a few helicopters soon ish it would be good advertising for the new stuff, as well as proof to anyone undecided on it about how good they model helicopters.
