    It seems D2D is having a week long sale and DCS:-Black Shark is included. €10 is a steal for this gem IMHO.

    A few good deals there. King's Bounty Gold edition for €10. That's pretty good. Call of cthulu is worth getting getting if you don't have it already even though the pc version is supposed to have a few issues.

    In case the OP's video oversold you on the game, be sure to check out the video below before you commit.

    Its not a game though, its a pure simulator with a huge learning curve. Being a sim fan its right up my street, I already have a flight controller and Trackir, but its not for everyone. You have to do the training etc, can't just jump in or You'll not even get the chopper to start.

    Apologies, it was not my intention to deceive, that was the official trailer for DCS at release.

    As PogMoThoin said, it is very much a Simulator, but possibly the best simulation of a helicopter ever done for a PC. €10 IMHO is a bargain, but it won't be everybody's cup of tea.

    I understand that. I should have said "title" not "game". Still believe the OP's video could result in some disappointed purchasers as it doesn't focus on, what some would consider, the tedium of simulation.

    No need to apologise. I just found it funny - seeing 'your' trailer, minutes after watching the, less glamorous, gameplay footage I posted. :D

    Unless you happen to live in Ireland which is not part of the EU and hence you are not allowed to buy it :(

    Keep getting the stupid IP is region locked.

    That's strange. I buy from there all the time. The only problem I have is with Paypal. I always get the same stupid error so I have to use the credit card directly.

    I'd also recommend the Producers notes series of videos as a training aid for when you get deeper into the sim.
