Awesome.

"Realistic [helicopter] flight model" = "you will crash and burn a lot"...

Yeah, but hopefully realistic crashing and burning....then it's all good.

why, why, why
combat helo's are just way more fun

I remember playing and enjoying sim copter, rescue missions, fire missions, and you could blow stuff up too. Who knows what all will be available in the game.

You can't really experience a true flight model of a Helicopter unless you're using a Joystick and Rudder pedals though can you?

You can get by w/o pedals pretty easy and still have it be fairly legitimate.

I don't know how detailed this game's flightmodel will be, but...

Because if the flight model is good enough then the physics approximating reality make for a experience that's much more rich and replayable than slapping a camera on a bobbing head on rails (ie fps).

I don't think you can compare having proper rudder pedals and joystick or yoke to having one or none. Those are the minimum for being able to make the helicopter perform what you want it to do, obviously. Unless of course what you want to do is as simple as crash or not crash.

Again, if the focus is in flight modeling, that's completely different than arcade style games.

you can have all that in a combat helo plus weapons and combat

 

[Dwarden]

i'm sure the interview answers of some of these questions so take closer look on it

 

[The549]

Yes, yes. Theoretically that's completely plausible.

I bought an xbox for one game years ago. Now I have two games; Forza Motorsports 2 AND 3, and they're still great. Sucks that I have to spend so much on one system to have one good car game.

While the PC does lack a GT or Forza equivalent in terms of a Career mode, there are games like the GTR and Race series, as well as Need for Speed Shift if you're looking for realistic car racing. Oh yeah, and F1! I wish I had my old copy of Xpand Rally from back in the day. That game was pretty fudging fun to play.

Edit: Xpand Rally is $5 on Steam! *Buys*

I absolutely loved the idea behind Test Drive 5(?) (even if I couldn't give a rat's azz about the cool-person car culture, but having a character is fine), however I haven't bothered to play that in years.

I am into simulators of all kinds, though being able to tune a honda civic or peugeot 302 with impressive feeling physics in the same game is the ultimate. I think possibly the best game evar could be GT2, or 3...the one with hundreds of cars, pretty decent realism. I haven't been able to get into rally stuff....yet...

Edit: the aforementioned is the ultimate, however the two-after-the penultimate would still be a Cessna 172 x-plane style sim with rocket lawn chairs...
