DCS: UH-1H Huey Announced

The Fighter Collection and Belsimtek announce DCS: UH-1H Huey is the next installment in the Digital Combat Simulator series of combat flight simulators, hot on the heels of the release of DCS: P-51D Mustang. Word is: "The UH-1H will be the first helicopter of conventional design featured in the DCS series and further demonstrates the broad scope of the DCS simulation environment and its ability to introduce a wide variety of aircraft from all eras into a common simulation platform. The UH-1H will also be the first DCS aircraft to offer multiple player positions, including pilot, co-pilot, and door gunner. Like previous DCS products, the UH-1H will include a variety of difficulty options to cater to users with different levels of flight simulation experience, including 'Simulation' and 'Game' playing modes." Here's a feature list:

  • Unmatched flight physics providing the most realistic and dynamic helicopter experience on the PC.
  • Multiple player positions, including pilot, co-pilot, and door gunner.
  • Accurate and highly detailed 3D cockpit featuring six-degrees-of-freedom technology.
  • Interactive cockpit controls that allow players to operate systems using the mouse.
  • Accurate UH-1H external 3D model, liveries, and weapons.
  • Detailed modelling of the UH-1H instruments, weapons, engine, radios, fuel, electrical, and hydraulic systems.
  • Developed in close cooperation with real UH-1 operators.
  • Missions that include transport and combat support operations.
  • Training that includes interactive and video lessons.
  • Multiplayer coop mode for crew members of the same helicopter under development for a later update.

The terrain is definitely the biggest weakness of the DCS series. The new terrain engine features for Nevada look good, but deserts are pretty easy to do. I suspect we won't see any decent third party terrain for quite a while, though there is certainly plenty of talent out there working on FSX, which obviously can't last forever.

This will be especially painful for a transport helicopter like the UH-1H. Dropping off some cardboard cutout soldiers in a big perfectly flat field will only be so entertaining.

While I love this announcement what exactly will be flying it over? Eastern Europe? Heck, what sorts of missions can we do? Does DCS World feature AI soldiers we can assault with the door gun? I don't doubt this will be the best digitized Huey the simulation world has ever seen, but without the "theater" it feels half baked.

Nevada is coming. Not holding my breath, but it's coming. Once that happens, supposedly the gates will open and we'll get others.
