DCS: Black Shark (PC Games, 2009)

Awsome. If you play Lock-On you need this sim to round out you skills. 100% more detail in the flight dynamics and systems interaction than Lock-On. One down fall, you need a high end system and Windows XP. Product states it does not like Vista because it wasnt programed for the memory control Vista has over your computer. Other than that - perfect.

Flight simulators are a dying genre. This is evidenced by Tom Clancy's HAWX which sacrifices any realism for fast arcade action. Study sims are even rarer, as many games opt for multiple aircraft at moderate fidelity.

DCS:KA-50 is an old school study sim with near perfect attention to detail. It has great graphics, second only to Microsoft Flight Simulator 10 even though it uses DX9. DCS is a platform for additional simulation products, the publisher is already working on an AH-64 add-on, with the promise of a MI-24 Hind and A-10 Warthog expansions every 9 months afterward.

KA-50 comes with an arcade type mode for people who don't have 6 months to devote to learning every switch.

If you like simulations you have to get this game. Just google "DCS Black Shark reviews" and read how many satisfied customers. You can play an easy way or go truly complicated like starting and flying a real helicopter.

JUST LIKE THE REAL THING IF YOU HAVE FOOT PEDLES ....GRAPHICS ARE GREAT
REALISTIC!!!! FLIGHTING BETTER THEN ANY FLIGHT SIM OUT THERE!!!!! IF YOU WANT TO TRY YOUR HAND AT FLYING HELICOPTERS THIS IS AS REAL AS IT GETS!!!!!
