At the moment you can get the Mi-8MTV2 with DCS: Combined Arms for $42.00 USD or the Mi-8MTV2 with the Nevada Test and Training Range Map for $59.99 USD.
While Combined Arms puts you in command of ground forces with flexible playstyle options, including first person armor warfare, RTS style playthroughs, or directing forces from the air, Nevada gives pilots the freedom to explore a vast map and complete various exercises.
