Welcome Ice to the community. Nice to see another from the other side of the planet.
I'm a big fan of the aircraft, the weapons, and the complexity DCS have created. My first sim's I remember were from the 1990's - F-19 Stealth Fighter by Microprose and Tornado by Digital integration. The complexity wasn't available then. Neither was the processing power, graphics power, ram requirements, 64bit instructions etc...
Its been a long time between drinks for me and I am a convert from the other side of the fence *black ops*
Every now and then you just have to return some lead to the earth. Playing black ops, I did this for three hundred hours saving the planet on steam.
With A-10C , I get to do the same thing , just returning it in different way- usually CM, HEI, DU, laser guided, PGM, Slaved to MAV etc. etc. etc...
When I get my 1.1.0.8 crash problem's solved (install Win7 64bit), I look forward to a few MP games with you fellow AUS & NZers around the traps.
