DCS: UH-1H Huey Announced
Posted by Donster on: 2012-10-09 16:13:56 in category: Helo Combat News [ Print ]
The Fighter Collection and Belsimtek are proud to announce the upcoming release of DCS: UH-1H Huey - the next aircraft in the Digital Combat Simulator (DCS) series of PC combat simulations. The Huey is one of the most iconic and well-known helicopters in the world. Having seen extensive service as a transport and armed combat support helicopter during the Vietnam War, the Huey continues to serve in both military and civilian roles in many countries around the globe today.
DCS: UH-1H Huey will feature the same exacting level of modelling detail as the existing Ka-50 Black Shark, A-10C Warthog and P-51D Mustang DCS aircraft and it will be online compatible with them. Working in close partnership with U.S. based UH-1 operators and experts, The Fighter Collection and Belsimtek have leveraged their unique skills and experience to provide the most dynamic and true to life helicopter experience available on the PC.
The UH-1H will be the first helicopter of conventional design featured in the DCS series and further demonstrates the broad scope of the DCS simulation environment and its ability to introduce a wide variety of aircraft from all eras into a common simulation platform. The UH-1H will also be the first DCS aircraft to offer multiple player positions, including pilot, co-pilot, and door gunner. Like previous DCS products, the UH-1H will include a variety of difficulty options to cater to users with different levels of flight simulation experience, including “Simulation” and “Game” playing modes.
DCS: UH-1H Huey will be available for pre-purchase later this year for $39.99.

Apache: Air Assault Website Launched
Posted by Donster on: 2010-11-04 16:58:00 in category: Helo Combat News [ Print ]
A new Apache: Air Assault Website is online as the official home to the upcoming flight combat simulator from Gaijin Entertainment (Developer) and Activision Publishing Inc. (Publisher).
The site offers newsletter signups, 30 new screenshots, game info, and more.
Apache: Air Assault is a new combat flight simulation game based on the Apache AH-64D Longbow attack helicopter. The player takes on the role of three distinct Apache crews that each deal with what at first appears to be localized enemy activity, but eventually reveals itself to be part of the larger plan. The gameplay intercuts back and forth between the three crews as the action and stakes escalate.
Apache: Air Assault features 16 multi-stage missions involving air and ground strike operations off the coast of Africa, the mountains of the Middle East and the jungles of Central America, each meticulously created using high resolution map data from real-world satellite photography. Apache helicopters are some of the most sophisticated combat aircraft on the planet — the player gets to fly multiple variations of them, each with their own extreme firepower and highly-detailed damage modeling.

Make The Right Choice And Save On All ProSIM Titles!
Here at Shrapnel Games we can't afford a multi-million dollar marketing blitz, complete with primetime advertising like one of those big publishers. After all, we're not some megacorporation, but rather just a dedicated group of passionate gamers who have since 1999 brought the very best of independent strategy gaming to gamers around the world.
Today, one of those big publishers is releasing a game depicting the current ongoing struggle in Afghanistan. At least we think that's what it's about, since it appears the enemy isn't even the real enemy anymore. Maybe you're fighting against Teletubbies now?
You may not be aware but you do have a choice. There are other options. Such as ProSIM's Air Assault Task Force, a serious examination on 'Operation Anaconda', available from Shrapnel Games.
Air Assault Task Force is a survey simulation of ground warfare focusing on airmobile operations throughout history, specifically on some of the most defining moments of air cav history: Ia Drang Valley in Vietnam, Mogadishu in Somalia, and of course the Shahi-Kot Valley in Afghanistan during Operation Anaconda.
You know you want Air Assault Task Force. Read more about the game, its extensive features, system requirements, and download a demo by pointing your browser to HERE.

DCS Black Shark – PC Game Review
Posted by Donster on: 2010-10-11 17:51:12 in category: Helo Combat News [ Print ]
By Rod White @ Armchair General
Eagle Dynamics and The Fighter Collection is the dynamic duo responsible for the classic Su-27 Flanker series, and Lock On Modern Air Combat (LOMAC). DCS Black Shark is their most recent venture into the realm of "study simulations." A study simulation examines one aircraft model in painstaking detail instead of providing a survey simulation of multiple aircraft. Following in the Flanker tradition, the aircraft modeled in DCS Black Shark is Russian, the Kamov Ka-50 Black Shark, a single-seat, modern-day, military helicopter design, an ideal candidate for a study simulation of this caliber.

Digital Combat Simulator: Black Shark Review
Posted by Donster on: 2009-01-20 17:43:48 in category: Helo Combat News [ Print ]
One of the finest flight sims ever to hit the PC.
By Bennett Ring, IGN AU
Pity the poor flight sim. Once a staple ingredient of any PC gamer's diet, these incredibly complex pieces of software have since become a rare delicacy enjoyed by a hidden audience. Once upon a time every second game on the PC was a flight sim, but their limelight slowly petered out as more accessible genres engulfed the PC. Yet there's still a sizable audience of virtual Mavericks out there, eagerly waiting for the latest virtual cockpit. Sadly though, this large yet quiet audience doesn't justify the development attention it once did, and the result has been a dearth of sims. Simmers have watched in horror as their beloved genre gasped its dying breath over the last few years, with only re-releases of older games, and the promise of a handful of titles, to keep them going. Digital Combat Simulator: Black Shark (BS) was one of those titles, and has been in development for what feels like decades.

Enemy Engaged 2 Review
Posted by Donster on: 2007-07-30 15:49:13 in category: Helo Combat News [ Print ]
By James Allen @ Out of Eight
Simulation games illustrate why PC gaming is great: you can do something you would never be able to do in real life. Most of these games center around warfare (with one notable exception) because blowing stuff up is fun. A very distinguished simulation was released in the year 2000: Enemy Engaged: Comanche vs. Hokum. This close follow-up to Enemy Engaged: Apache vs. Havoc featured a spectacular dynamic campaign in a realistic simulation, something that was noteworthy back then and even relevant today. There is a very obsessed (that’s the right word for it) community dedicated to producing various mods and scenarios to the original, but they can only take the engine so far. Enter Enemy Engaged 2, an update to the original series, charged with bringing the simulation back to the future (complete with flux capacitor). Will Enemy Engaged 2 offer enough improvements over the original games to satisfy both veteran and novice players alike?

Whirlwind Over Vietnam Review
Posted by Donster on: 2007-05-28 18:30:44 in category: Helo Combat News [ Print ]
By James King @ Worthplaying
Whirlwind over Vietnam is a helicopter flight simulator set in the Vietnam War era, in which you'll pilot the UH-1 Huey through 10 historical missions against the Viet Cong. The premise is somewhat different and refreshing, but the list of problems with this game goes on and on. The controls are quite complex and intricate, as would be expected from a flight simulation game, but there is no training, tutorial, or flight school missions that could ease you into the experience. It starts you off with a real mission right away and expects you to know how to fly immediately. Flight sims of this type might be a dying breed in today's age of gaming, and this title certainly does not help the situation.

Whirlwind Over Vietnam Review
Posted by Donster on: 2007-04-25 16:04:34 in category: Helo Combat News [ Print ]
The novelty of the Vietnam War setting is just about all that Whirlwind Over Vietnam has going for it.
By Brett Todd, GameSpot
Developer G5 Software deserves a lot of praise for its chopper sim Whirlwind Over Vietnam. Unfortunately, virtually all of these kudos are for the company's decision to skip World War II and set a flight sim in Southeast Asia, not for anything to do with gameplay. Everything beyond the offbeat setting ranges from merely pedestrian to downright bad, thanks in large part to problematic controls that won't satisfy serious simmers or casual fliers, overly long shoot-'em-up missions, and some serious technical glitches.
