Yeah indeed! It was a brilliant idea! We'll get DCS and LockOn players/pilots reunite. This is what any of us would imagine that it's possible. But we had kinda similar situation with FC when it came out. At least whole family will be together again.
Ofcourse everyone would love hi-G pulls in dogfight. Those simmers who don't admit it's a poor fun are (how I call them) "rioters on principle". But it's not all about it. Probably ED has US Army contract (thanks to Wags contacts I supose) on developing AH-64A desktop simulator or maybe something bigger. Maybe they will be able to use data from contracted sim in commercial DCS mod. "Maybe" if US client will allow them to use it for such a purpose. I believe there is no top secret technology in AH-64A so it's likely to happen.
There is no many places on earth where we haven't settled yet.
About new A-10C module we won't hear untill 2010 - that's the official info. I don't even mention AH-64A. I'll show some link here:

but you probably have seen this.
Oh indeed. What really does when it's active "ВЫХОД" button: DLINK automatic ingress to target is the Shkval automaticaly locks on (or rather point on) DTLNK target after pressing "uncage Shkval".
