When will we get a briefing room episode about this?

[Talisman]

Get to the chopper.   This would add so much to the possibilities in IL-2 Korea.  You know it makes sense dear developers. 👍 

[BlitzPig_EL]

The earth repels them you know.

That said, they would add a lot to the sim, even if they were only AI.

 

[Dash,Polder]

Definitely a must with any carrier aviation add on module.

[AEthelraedUnraed]

Would be a great addition. However helicopters depend on completely different physics as aircraft do, requiring completely new code. The development costs are simply too large 😢

[Trooper117]

OFGS!... who the hell needs choppers?.................................................................................. WE DO!!!  🤣

[Shinobimono]

As AI it would be fine.

As playable these are so ugly and primitive in comparison with available choppers in other sims, that I will prefer to skip. 🙂‍↔️

Disgraceful!  You should be more respectful to the older generation.

Did I feel some disrespect towards oldtimers..?

Oh, bad form old boy, next thing you know he will be saying he prefers those dreadful kerosene burners to proper aeroplanes...

Back on-topic, please. 🙂

Cue MASH unit Bell 47s!

My Pro-Flight Helicopter Trainer has its own flight controls and operating codes; but, I've also assigned my CH Fighterstick, Pro-Pedals, and a Multi-Engine power quadrant to it.

Pitch and Roll govern the attitude of the spinning blade disk.  Reverse the Rudder Pedals to get Rotor Pedals.  And a Multi-Engine flight control quad handles the Throttle and Collective functions.

That said, how badly would we need expensive and extensive new codes from the Developers?  Maybe, with a simple mod, players could handle the rest of it at home; via their own flight controls?  

I hope so!  I would love to see IL*2 get operational choppers from the Korean and Viet Nam eras.  Please do that!

Well, we're headed toward suppertime.  Happy Thanksgiving!  😊

Helicopters transformed combat operations during in the Korean War and are a part of the story of aviation's major technological advances of the time.

This fits in well with the IL-2 Korea project I would have thought.
