helicopters

I love flying around my hometown in the different helicopters in FSX, but my true love is heli combat sims like Gunship way back in the day. The Commanche series was ok, and Jane's Longbow was great. Is there a heli combat sim out there that's on par with the graphics and realism of FSX? CFS3 is ok, but doesn't really hold my interest like a more modern combat sim and there are no helicopters.

DCS Black Shark might be what you're looking for:

DCS: Black Shark is a simulation of the Russian Ka-50 attack helicopter and is the first simulation module of the Digital Combat Simulator series by The Fighter Collection and Eagle Dynamics.

DCS: Black Shark can be played as the most realistic combat helicopter simulation ever created for the PC with authentic flight dynamics and systems modeling. Black Shark may also be played as a console-style arcade game for the casual gamer.

A detailed and accurate 330,000 sq km depiction of the western Caucasus region serves as the battlefield and includes a broad array of eastern and western air, land and sea units.

Each air, land and sea unit is accurately modeled to include detailed models, weapon systems, movement dynamics and artificial intelligence. Each bullet, rocket, shell or bomb fired is modeled in detail for accurate performance.

Powerful and easy to use Mission and Campaign Editors are provided to allow creation of user-created missions and campaigns. Non-linear campaigns are provided with unlimited replayability. Multiplayer game play is provided to include both cooperative play using the Ka-50 data link and head-to-head. Multiplayer supports up to 16 players.

A set of detailed training missions, single missions and a campaign are included.
