Do all the explotions look like the one in Wags' screenshots?

Probably one of the Tuskegee airmen ;)

Everything ED does is a big dark secret, while other developers flood the internet with screenshots and videos ED rarely even talk about what they are working on. It's unfortunately just how it is...

I was thinking the same... What a sad sight :\

For me personally, the controls ruin the whole experience. What's wrong with just using the normal FPS control scheme?

Considering that we dont know anything about FC3 yet, its too early to say if Ill buy it or not. If it's just a revamped version of FC2 then Ill pass.

I'll buy the Mustang and the fixed wing fighter, pretty sure that I would'nt by an A-10A module, and Ill have to wait and see what's new in FC3 before making up my mind about it. If it's just FC2 with bloom and a couple of new models then Ill pass.

People are different I guess, personally I think it looks like something someone has pieced together from spare parts they found in their garage...

Im surprised that nobody has mentioned the abomintion that is the JF-17...

Yes, I am aware that when ED says sometime in 2012, it really means christmas 2014 ;)

So, if its ready to be shown to the "public" surely it cant be that far away, can it? ;)

Sorry for spinning your world back out of order ;) Tom Cruise owns and flys Mustang, N51EW, "Kiss me Kate".

The A-10 is much more "user friendly" than the Shark, once you get the hang of the computer systems the A-10 is quite easy to fly. Of course, it's underpowered, and with a full fuel and weapons load it feels like trying to fly a brick, but it still wont actively try to kill you, like I always felt the Shark was :P The A-10 is easier to fly, but the computer systems are more advanced, the Shark is harder to fly, but the systems are very straight forward.

Like Jasky says, you wont be asked to find a new job if your eyesight deteriorates, but if your eyesight is bad upon joining, then there are certain positions you wont be applicable for, like fighter pilot.

It's not the textures, it's HDR ;)

Do you have to be black to join? ;)

Sounds all too familiar :P

So, I took a chance and got XP10, but the default aircraft are pretty much crap, what aircraft and other mods should I get? And is there any way to stop the aircraft from feeling like rc-planes?

This was very nice :)

Looks interresting, but looks like youre having some really low fps in a couple of the clips.

Looks like a really boring job, who would want to see the sun every day, play among the clouds and fly one of the most high tech machines in the world? I almost feel bad for these guys ;)

Im hoping for a beta too, I feel that the decision to release the Warthog beta resulted in a much better release candidate than it otherwise would have.

To be honest, I think the A2A addons are a bit overhyped. I have the B-17, the Cub and the Spitfire and while they are all nice planes they are far from the revolution a lot of people make them out to be. There's a lot of details, like the maintenance hangar for the Spit, and while I think its a fun little detail I wouldnt miss it if it wasnt there, and it doesnt really add anything to the experience of flying a Spit. I feel confident that the DCS Mustang is going to be a lot more realistic and entertaining than anything A2A can ever come up with.

The Nevada scenery you are talking about is being developed by ED, the Nevada scenery developed by people in the community is, as far as I know, binned. An SDK with documentation on how things work, so people would'nt have to guess their way through it, would be very welcome. But I guess the SDK that Wags talked about some time ago was also subject to change :P

I really enjoy these reports, keep em coming ;)
