I’m not a 100% certain but I assume that at 00:22 the left seat guy is reminding the right seat guy to keep the rotors going round and round all the time until landing or they’re gonna have a bad day.

@smokinhole no!! It’s easy!! Just paint yourself orange and get thrown out of a window while someone follows you in a helicopter. Piece of cake. The cone even landed upright. Simplicity mate

That’s pretty cool. My X-56 has a removable spring. A couple of days ago I tried flying without it. WAY more enjoyable! But unfortunately it’s a little impractical because I would have to support the stick before letting go. (Which is, after all, the reason for magnetic force trim.
That APU is really freaking loud!

Love those LMGs poking out of the Hind. Are we getting cabin gunners in the DCS Hind?

According to the store page and early access info … we should be getting a kord machine gun for the door gunner like the hip … But it will be later in development…
