What's cooking for 2019 on DCS side?
Despite the fact that ED is putting a lot of effort on the much more profitable fixed wing market, rotorheads have still some hope for some nice additions or updates to their hangar in 2019. First, the Mi24P is still in development and the pictures shown lately do no reveal a lot. There is also nothing about a release date, but this year might see this awesome helicopter taking the DCS skies with, according to ED (fingers crossed) a multi seat capability that, we guess, will derive from the last netcode improvements that the F-14 will benefit from.

On the KA-50 side, ED is saying they are working on an update on the cockpit for this year also. Hopefully, the external lights bleeding into the cockpit as well as the SAS lights issue will be fixed, but the overhaul will also be on the panel and instruments graphics according to them.
On the Polychop-Simulations side, the OH-58 is still showing on their FB page and their latest communication is letting us know that they established a 'good and close' relationship with 2 US helicopters manufacturers without more details. Regarding the Gazelle, a re-code of the flight model is apparently on going with re-work of LTE, transient torque effect and other aerodynamics effects with the help of US Army and French army helicopters experts. Hopefully, we will see something this year again.
Regarding the BO-105, Miltech 5 recently posted some new pictures of their 3D model and are apparently working hard on it but no more info.
