Can You Fly Helicopters In The Free Copy Of The Game?

[Razar]

I have been looking for a game where I can fly helicopters in a game for anything other than combat. I would like for it to be as realistic as possible.

I was told this game had helicopters, but they were not sure if the require paid DLC for it.

I am hoping the free version has them, and that there are ones with passenger, cargo, etc missions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is no official free helicopter at the moment. There are some community made mods. But that's all.

You can also download the non-steam version of DCS:World where is ability of 14-day triall for each DLC separately. There also is 50% discount for the first purchase.

There is a free blackhawk mod, that is decent. But nothing like the Apache, hind, MI8 or Huey.

Thanks for the replies.

I have been looking for a helicopter game for a while, that isn't all combat. But have no money. I will give the mods a try.

Thanks again,
Razar.

There's also the free flight program where you can get every DCS module for free at a 14 days trial. So you can see if the module meets your expectations. Check the DCS World homepage for that!

Besides that DCS is basically alll about combat and military aviation. You're pretty much exclusively about to fly military aircrafts in combat enviroments. So I highly doubt it will fit your expectations of a non combat helo simulation.

Get a free nonsteam dcs acount and game you can start testing each chopper for 14 days if you found your fav chopper you can buy as new customer with a discount of 50%

Just for curiosity, what is yours PC specs?
Do you have joystick or you want to fly with gamepad?

Every module in DCS is free to try. Simply go the official ED website, make your account, and download the game from there, not here on steam.

Unfortunately many steam users do not want this information to be known and get mad when others suggest doing because they have sour grapes about buying DCS though here and not on the official site like most intelligent people did.

Thanks.

And to be honest, I don't pay much attention to fanatics in any subject. Just like I don't pay much attention to ones that are on the other end of the spectrum.

I like facts. Both good and bad.

The only reason I will not be downloading it from the company, is because I just like having things in 1 place to get to. Only reason I use Steam at all, to be honest.

Thanks again for the suggestion,

lol. you are clearly a fanatic (to steam)

have fun never being able to try any module ever, for free, have fun paying 10-15% more for modules, have fun missing out on extended sales, have fun not having discounts forwarded on anything you've ever bought

in addition to this:
running DCS though steam uses 15+ more of RAM than would otherwise be used through DCS standalone

Steam users on average have 10-15 less FPS than DCS stand alone users
