i bought it as soon as i saw it at EB, all installed but havent bothered firing it up yet as i am having too much fun online with CoD. my interest in flight sims really drops off with anything post Korean war, seems you spend as much time assing about looking at MFD's as out the cockpit! also couldn't be bothered trying to sort out a map for my CH combat stick, pro throttle setup . hey its a genuine flight sim though so even if i never play it i still don't mind investing in the devs apparently great work!

Cheers
Craig

I purchased it the other day during the Steam sale and I'm really enjoying it!

I took the A10 for some simple gun dogfight and what a fun !!!

It's basically what i was expecting from IL2:CoLD but DCS has it..
If you didn't try ... run and get it !! cheap and it's awesome !!



Even Rise of Flight look and feel so much better now .. grrrrr!
What about the FM? The predecessor Lockon did not impress me at all in terms of FM so how about this one?

As a side note: Why did they put a slogan there that says: "Ready to get ugly?" ?

The A10 is for my eyes the coolest looking plane of the jet age.

The FM in DCS:A10 is about as spot on as you can get it in a Desktop sim. The sim is approximately the same as the USAFRES bought to do desktop training for their Hawg-pilots, with some systems omitted due to them being classified.

Why the slogan? Dude, have you SEEN an A10? I love the thing bigtime, seriously, but it's butt-ugly

I'd also say that the sim is a good challenge, even though it does leave you with a massive case of brainfire at times (Which buttons do what AAAAAUUUGH!!).

Then again, if you REALLY want brainfire and a challenge, DCS:Black Shark is the way to go. Maybe I'm just an utter n00b that hasn't flown heli's since the good old days of Gunship 2000, but holy hell, it's got an absolutely brutal learning-curve. Really fun once you DO get the hang of it, though.

There are probably some friendly forces to fire at on the ground too.

As it is in all combatsims, and as it is on all battlefields, yes.
