So whats the deal. Is DCS the publisher or developer? Were these sims built for gamers or were they originally the software that ran military sims (I thought I read that somewhere) DCS should release a demo that's a highly effective form of advertisement. maybe the demo allows you to play 2 tutorial missions (start up / takeoff and something with weapon systems)

yess...Jane's Longbow 2 was indeed good times.

Thanks for everyone's help! Ill look into track ir5

awesome these guys went all out. Im guessing based on the complexity of this sim that track IR is required as much as a joystick is. What track ir system works well?

Whats the basic campaign story? Who are you fighting and why? it doesn't look like you have to fly very far on each mission is that true or does it utilize some kind of "skip ahead" feature? Thanks again

I've been a long time fan of pc sims. I started with falcon and aces of the pacific. A-10 cuba was one of my favorites for lots of reasons. the last sim I played was Il2. I kinda felt that PC sims were dead and nothing worth playing was ever released after il2. Then I saw a-10c on youtube last night and I was like...whoa. I had no idea anything of this depth existed. I dont own it yet and I dont think my pc will run it but I'm still totally excited! I guess I have two initial questions. 1) being that even the start up procedure is nearly realistic and requires a fair amount of time does this sim allow for one to save games in progress or a check point system during a campaign mission? 2) is the campaign dynamic or is it a scripted story. Thanks -Gun
