Dear Pilots!
We are pleased to announce that DCS: AH-64D is now available to pre-order with a 30% discount!

This is the most realistic simulation of the incredible AH-64D attack helicopter. It sets a new standard in fidelity and gameplay action. Thank you for all your trust, passion and support. You make our dreams come true!

Buying this ASAP been following development and it's truly working its way to 1 to 1 basically already there

 

[Zug]

So many freedom per second showcased in this trailer.
I still fondly remember Jane's AH-64D Longbow and it's ridiculously big printed user manual.

I wonder how the DCS sims hold up in VR nowadays ?

 

[GnomeChimpsky]

Insane looking game. Does it have AI infantry yet? Would be a shame if you couldn't turn people into tiny giblets with the 30mm.

How do you think? They are mind blowing in VR.

This is a must buy but will wait until it matures a bit.

About the most immersive game out there, apart from MS Flight Simulator but that's at a sedate pace.

DCS gets the heart pounding

 

[Pippelipeikko]

Is there a campaign of any kind? I really like the look of DCS but it's so fragmented and the price of entry is expensive.

Beautiful helicopter

 

[TheMan]

Wow a DCS thread on GAF!
Ive invested hundreds of dollars in this damn sim and in the end I still can’t use any single plane very well, lol. Just too easy to jump from plane to plane.

anjway I bought the hind and I’ll probably buy this after a release date is announced, as per my usual pattern. I need to buy a new stick though, the old warthog has some stiction. Tried buying a vkb off eBay but It was defective

Holds up really well. I put my mum in a F/A-18 cockpit in VR. She looked around and complained it was dirty Some planes work better than others in VR though. Eg. A10C-II works well as most of the weapons etc. can be accessed completely on the HOTAS (I use the Thrustmaster Warthog setup).
As for this chopper, got my Monstertech fittings for the VIRPIL chopper collective just today, so I'm ready!

I have seen it in a previous trailer for this.

Buying this. It’s going to be mental in VR

Makes me miss classic GiantBomb and Flight Club.

Price of entry is free. Then you wait for sales of an interesting module. They’re expensive, but this ain’t Ace Combat, a single module is a ton of work to learn:master and they are so accurate that nothing, not even MSF2020 even come close.

I only play in VR. Your heart is racing when you're in a dog fight or going in for a run on some ground units only way to fly in this sim. F/A-18C Hornet is my pride and joy mastered it.

Yeah the F/A 18 module is incredible and there is even a youtuber who is a former navy pilot and he was amazed at the realism.

I thought I had a good grasp of the potential of VR until I played DCS.

I know exactly who you’re talking about. Lemoyne.

Recent modules have been fire, F/A-18, F-16 Viper, A-10c upgrade, F-14 tomcat.

With the Longbow coming, and euro fighter later..
