You are confusing DCS: World with DCS: Combined Arms here? DCS: Combined Arms is a DLC for DCS: World. DCS: World is free (as is RoF). Description taken from their website:
Digital Combat Simulator World (DCS World) is a free, unified interface for all DCS products; you can think of DCS World as a simulation operating system. DCS modules that can plug into DCS World can include aircraft, maps, ground units, campaigns, etc. Not only can DCS World include modules developed internally by Eagle Dynamics, but it can also include those by certified third party developers.
Which is a single product all future content (paid DLCs) will be developed for. All current existing products (A-10C, Black Shark) are being converted as a module for this new RoF inspired business model.

This is just backwards. I don't want to pay someone money to beta test their software.
