OVERVIEW

Welcome to Helo World, a DCS public server exclusively dedicated to helicopter operations and designed by our best mission designers and scripters at BlackSharkDen, a virtual squadron operating DCS helicopters only in a cooperative environment since 2016. This server is offering a wide selection of rotary wings operations flown at BlackSharkDen, only on a much more casual scale. Since you are reading this, you most likely already joined our BSD Discord Server. If not, we strongly encourage you to do so as this is the place where you will be able to get all the latest updates, the technical support and discuss with plenty of RW fanatics, from the semi casual simmer to the real life professional military helicopter pilot.

Before taking off, please make sure you read at least the Server Rules and the Quickstart pages. This will give you some directions of what to do and where to go on the Helo World server. If you want to do more than just scratch the surface of this server, take a few more minutes and go to the advanced sections of this wiki and enjoy the full depth of all the RW activities available. At BlackSharkDen, we are taking pride in offering meaningful and challenging missions for all the helicopter types in DCS in a cooperative environment free of fixed wings aircraft.

Helo World by BlackSharkDen requires the Syria map DCS add-on by Ugra Media and the latest version of DCS World. Of course, you will also need to own at least one DCS Helicopter module. Helo World also supports the UH-60L mod by Kinkkujuu. No Mods are required on this server. Finally, for radio communications, Simple Radio (a.k.a SRS) is used with a dedicated SRS server that will automatically connect your client when you are joining the Helo World server.

Helo World by BlackSharkDen public server is NOT a persistent campaign, which means your actions will not be saved on server restart (server restarts every 12 hours) except for some specific tasks dedicated to utility helicopters where built and activated FARPS will remain in their latest state for 48 hours. If you are interested in a long persistent campaign, BlackSharkDen is offering this experience to its members in another private dedicated server with a more mil-sim oriented mind. We will be happy to welcome you as a new BSD pilot in our squadron. Helo World by BlackSharkDen is NOT a PVP (Player vs Player) server. Killing other players will result in a server ban (see SERVER RULES).
