I'm probably be wrong, but my understanding was that A10 would be released as a seperate sim. Both sims would work together in multiplayer a bit like Silent Hunter and Destroyer Commander (or Comanche and Werewolf if you want to go back further). They were two seperate titles that could work together in multiplayer.
This is different to the IL-2 series that the newer version merged in with the older ones into one sim.
Like I said I might be completely wrong but that was the impression I got.
Cheers!

I also don't think that leaving DX11 out is a bad decision. As posted in another thread, the main advantage of using DX11 is to speed up rendering. But rendering of the world graphics is much less a priority for DCS as the phyiscs behind the FM, the DM and the avionics. So buying a top-notch DX11 card for DCS was a pretty superficial excuse. 
@proton45:
It was posted a long time ago, that it's planned to upgrade older modules with the enhancements published in newer versions 1.) to maintain compatibility between the modules and 2.) because the system is designed modular, just like Oleg's SoW-engine.
So, unless something unforeseen happens, I bet there will be an update for BlackShark. |
