[QUOTE]DCS World includes a vast mission area of the Caucasus region that encompasses much of Georgia - the location of the Russian invasion of Georgia in 2008. Additionally, DCS World includes:
• Powerful mission and campaign editors
• Multiplayer
• Massive inventory of air, land and sea combat units and weapons
• Advanced AI
• Fast mission generator
• Dynamic weather and seasons
• Training missions
• Mission replay system
• Pilot log book

This all allows the creation of engaging, real-world combat missions in this flashpoint region. DCS is a true "sandbox" simulation that can and will cover multiple time periods covering many types of combat and civilian units. DCS World allows both realistic game play and more relaxed game play to suit the player. [/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]Other modules that can be purchased for DCS World include:
DCS: A-10C Warthog.
Warthog brings the most realistic PC simulation of a modern fixed wing combat aircraft in regards to flight dynamics, avionics, sensors, and weapon systems. Warthog is considered by many to be the current bench mark of PC flight simulation.

DCS: Ka-50 Black Shark 2.
The Ka-50 "Black Shark" is a unique and deadly single-seat, Russian attack helicopter that has seen combat in the Northern Caucasus. It combines a high performance dual rotor system with a deadly weapons payload of guided missiles, rockets, bombs, and a 30mm cannon.

DCS: P-51D Mustang.
The most realistic simulation ever done of this legendary World War 2 ear fighter.

DCS: Combined Arms.
DCS: Combined Arms gives you control of ground forces during the battle. Use the Command Map to move ground forces, set artillery fire missions, and control the ground battle. Assume the role of a Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) in multiplayer and designate targets for player-controlled close air support aircraft, or directly control armor vehicles or air defense weapons and engage the enemy.

This game is a hardcore flight simulator.. don't expect it to be like Battlefield.

I'll add more to the OP over time.

Better bump this up top!

This was just meant to be a fraps/youtube test video but I figured it'll be worth posting in here. This is pretty much what happens when I [I]finally[/I] manage to get off the ground. Tried for the runway but missed. Completely.

Having a basic knowledge of Diamond Aircraft and Cessna Aircraft I attempted, confidently, to strap into and start the Su-25T.

I think I got fuel pumps and most of the systems going, but then I believe i burned out the aircraft. After a while of engaging the magnetos it just wouldn't fire anymore :v:

to this day nothing gets me a boner as much as the DCS games do. they are SO high-stakes. it's not even funny

if you want a game with the ultimate payoff, DCS or even flaming cliffs 3 is the way to go. everybody rants and raves about ace combat's dogfighting but everybody seems to forget most of the time in jets you are firing missiles from miles away and you don't even physically see your target when you blow them to smithereens and in ace combat you do nothing BUT dogfight because your AIM missiles lose contact after a quarter mile. when you dogfight in, say, flaming cliffs 3 you are literally on the edge of your cockpit ready to shit your pants because you're trying to blow someone up whilst going mach 1. NOBODY dogfights these days so when it happens it really makes you feel like a badass when you come out on top

it doesn't help that the DCS games are probably visually the most stunning and realistic looking games to date

also nothing is more satisfying than looking to your side and seeing your wingman flying in formation. that's real co-op

I might make a video tutorial on how to start up a UH-1H...

Indeed.

I can attest to this.

Also: Doing gun runs in the A-10, and coming within inches of either SAM's or rapid fire AAA... and survivng.

It's pretty good when cooperatively, you and your squadron talk about armaments..
Did a flight on the weekend in the A-10, and armed the LAU's with willy petes, to help the KA-50's line up on the targets from several miles away.

[QUOTE=69105;42679414]also su-27 for best plane[/QUOTE]
The Su-33 is a nice aircraft as well, but I can't help but love the A-10a.

There we go.
