Have you guys heard of this one yet?

I've been spending a lot of time in DCS:A-10C while waiting for CloD to finish baking. It doesn't have the excitement of a WWII dogfight, but still damn rewarding when you're learning your way around the cockpit.

Remember that feeling the first time you learned to ride a bike or drive a stick-shift?

i fly DCS-A10C from the first Beta
and i can ensure you that is the most realistic simulator for the pc..
personally never had a problem with it to fly it or killing targets or use the various advanced systems that has..[Falcon fan for years]
i fly every day online and there are a very good community and very friendly for what you ask..
you should try this with the latest patch is excellent

Could you please tell what kind of online missions it has? Are there only ground attack missions in coop style or both sides fly A10 against each other or A10 has Black Shark opposition or the whole Flaming Cliffs 2/DCS series is compatible online?

Are the missions similar to Il-2 dogfight or coop? Is there an online war similar ADW?

It is like IL2 coop, but with respawn, and AI does not fly a player plane if no player chooses it. Mainly COOP ground attack. Of course you can go A10 vs A10, but it would be weird. Compatibility with Black Shark is planned this year, compatibility with Flaming Cliffs is in rumor stage.

The interesting thing is ability to give side tasks to units, change their aggressiveness, targets, radio frequencies. If you like mission building, you should get it. COOP close air support missions could be very hard and interesting, if you have to work at danger close distance from friendlies in changing battlefield.

P.S.: wait for Russian version, it should be released pretty soon.

So at least i have the A-10C. Great. I really like the start up procedure. Its fantastic. To get this bird alive is awesome. I am very happy to have it now.

Tons of guides are to find.Made just a little booklet. Now i have to print the airbases wich i found on Virtuelles JG32.

I am a nugget but i enjoy contacting tower for engine start, permission for taxiing etc.

Great sim.

DCS looks awesome but it's a modern flight sim for hardcore users. Is there an arcade mode where you just fly the thing without having a brain explosion looking at all the buttons? Also does it have a mission builder?

Yes to both. There is an arcade mode with simplified avionics and weapons system and a full mission builder

This is the only thing i didnt like about modern combat sims, the whold fire and forget though its very rewarding when getting a kill its gets boring very fast unlike actual dogfighting in a prop plane.

i tried flanker and eurofighter when it first came out...very long time that was but i find myself just looking around and doing flybys while in external mode rather than trying to master 100 of different keystrokes..lol
