Microsoft gets a big chopper

In the world of flight sims, the one true king is Microsoft's Flight Simulator. Perhaps the greatest thing about Flight Sim has always been how much you can add to the game. One of the most noted companies out there who create commercial add-ons is Abacus. On February 25th, they'll unleash a new addition, and it's not a plane.

It's a collection of military helicopters, including my personal favourite, the Apache. Of course, you can't actually shoot things down in Flight Sim, but the possibility of buzzing my local airport in an Apache is not without its appeal.
