What is the most up to date IL-2 PC sim?

Dazz you seem to be "Mr Heli" round here (for PC sims anyway).
Tried Blackshark but it wont run very well on my coal fired PC so what’s a good if older Heli sim I can go flying in.

(Always been more of a helicopter fan and buzzing about in the AH-6's in OFDR has reignited my passion for it).


p.s. of course I'll take sugestions from people besides Dazz as well

then there is janes longbow if you can get a copy get the gold edition comes with the lot mate a very good sim with many different types of missions etc my fav was to pilot a blackhawk and do spec opps insertion extraction missions very tence mate its prolly not going to look that good graphics wise these days as it is a very old game but in my opion its the best one ive played

and then there is comanche 4 now this is more arcade based but a good heli game none the less ive played them all up to this one never got to try 4 but if its anything like the first 3 then it will be a great blast to play

i wouldnt bother with the first 3 i have comanche 3 on disc and i put it on my laptop even with full settings it looked way to ugly to play but i guess ive been spoiled but the next gen graphics im used too lol
