I grabbed both updates and especially the Nvidia one since it has optimizations for 2 games that I'll be getting soon.

My last nvidia update messed something up so I'll stick with what I have (If it ain't broke....). updating DCS now. its 13GB.

I will likely get the Kiowa once the bugs are worked out. Seems some reviewers are not happy so far.

The Hind was fun last night and between that and the Apache we should be good for abit. Im excited to get cracking on knowing the CPG Seat (Apache). Its way more complicated than the Hind.

This is the Kiowa bugs forums.... doesnt seem to bad but probably a good idea to wait as you mentioned.

I got the Kiowa. Here are my initial thoughts:

Some things still not working but would expect patches to resolve.
Flies similar to the Gazelle and wouldntyaknowit, same developer
I wasn't a fan of the $69 price tag but hopefully my investment will produce valuable patches from the dev. $49 would have sold more copies i believe.
The model is pretty good. I couldnt get the trim to work but saw on the forums there is a setting that needs to be switched in the menus
Didnt fire any weapons. just flew around. Not too bad to hover but again, i had no trimmer so i'm sure it'll be better once I get that working.
Limited to 4 guided rockets. No biggie. Its not an Mi24 or Apache by any means.

I have fun Wed night too: Some videos:

Trichome gunning for me:

Ive got zero time in the Kiowa as of now... Hopefully this weekend I can get some seat time. Been focusing on the HIND and Apache
