Waylander Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 no one seems to discuss this here, i was wondering do you think its worth getting it now or waiting till they release there a10c game and hoping for a bundle? im kinda put off by the starforce even on the D2D version but it looks like the best trackir compatible title apart from arma2 which i already own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I bought the game straight off their website, TrackIR works perfectly and it's one hell of a simulator - Don't wait it out because the time it takes to master one of the games is beyond insane, having to juggle two games would be overwhelming. And the reason why no one seems to discuss it is; it's one of the most realistic combat helicopter simulators on the market today and by that extend, ever and Neowin isn't exactly know for housing the hardcore simulator crowd, from my experience :laugh: Although the game features a very nice "Arcade" option, which basically makes it accessible for anyone but it's still being marketed as a hardcore simulator.

Sjokkel Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 If you're in to die hard sims, this is the one to get! I wouldn't wait for the A10 to arrive but get in that blackshark instantly. By the time A10 arrives you'll be somewhat used to the level of realism DCS offers! The engine needs some tweaking to run smooth, just like ARMA2, but the flightmodel and realism are unmatched.

Sethos Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Yeah, that's my only gripe; the engine is quite badly optimized. I mean, the game looks good but nothing completely mind-blowing, yet it manages to bring my i7 to its knees during a lot of scenarios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 sethos can you buy a starforce free digital download from there site i could only see a boxed version and d2d has starforce, rather take a boxed version that comes with real manuals (i presume). reason i was thinking of waiting for the A10 instaallment is personally i would probably find the A10 more enjoyable to fly than the KA-50, but as everyone says get it to get used to it i might do that.
