Announcing DCS: UH-1H Huey


DUXFORD, UK, October 7th, 2012 - 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.

Unmatched flight physics providing the most realistic and dynamic helicopter experience on the PC.
Multiple player positions, including pilot, co-pilot, and door gunner.
Accurate and highly detailed 3D cockpit featuring six-degrees-of-freedom technology.
Interactive cockpit controls that allow players to operate systems using the mouse.

J'achète! Yahaaaa!! Génial!

Si effectivement il est labellisé DCS, la qualité devrait être au rendez-vous...

My 2 cents : comme quoi l'ouverture vers des développeurs externes peut booster la vie d'un simulateur et la prolonger, sans oublier le cash-flow généré...

J'ai retrouvé la dernière fois que j'ai fait de l'EVAC ou du SAR sur un simu d'helicoptere. Voilà bientot 23 ans que j'attends de pouvoir refaire la même chose:
Nom: LHX attack chopper sorti en 1990. J'y jouais avec mon super PC286 25Mhz 640Ko RAM, 40Mo HDD sous DOS 5.
Au menu, on pouvait prendre le V22 Osprey (OK, pas vraiment un helico pur mais bon) pour aller chercher des prisonniers de guerre ou evacuer des bléssés. Trop top.

Une petite vidéo ou vous remarquerez qu'on retrouve déjà nos bon vieux amis les Shilkas, Manpads et armed watch towers. Pas très loin finalement d'un DCS.....

Oula mais Longbow 2, c'etait déjà bien moderne comme simu! Sinon, effectivement lui etait multi poste a l'epoque. Chose qu'on a toujours pas aujourd'hui!

Ca me fait penser qu'une fois le multiposte actif dans dcs, ca laisse ouverte la porte pour un KA52!!
