If you pre-order the Apache you get 8500 miles on Eagle Dynamics site

I did pre-order but I don't know about those miles.  What can you get with that amount?


BTW,  have any of you IL2/DCS guys used VRNeckSafer?    Thoughts?

you get money off future purchases. 8500 miles would be $8.50 off of a module.

+1 for NeckSafer. I use it in IL2. Pretty painful checking your 6 in VR until that came out. The experimental version is about as close to TIR as you can get.

Awesome.  I'll try it.

I find I am not a bendy as I was in my youth.  Especially the part that connects my headbone to my body.  :cool:

I'm really glad to see this thread because I've been looking for a good helicopter flight sim and so far my results have been less than anticipated.

Only issue I am having is whether I want to learn the front seat first or the backseat

I haven't seen one of those in forever either, the most modern plane I can think of that did something similar was maybe Rise of Flight a few years ago?  It was one of the ones that came out about the same time as RoF...  For a single player game, I loved how Red Baron did it.

This looks kinda interesting.

Kewl.

Yeah.  I assume this will work with Apache.  This will be great to get lost in offline play on my game night.  The times I tried DCS World it seemed like there was nothing to do.
Reminds me of Falcon 3.0 more than Red Baron, but good enough.

Yeah, especially LB2 with multiplayer. Was fun having a buddy be your gunner.
