Yes. That's why they should let me be the Igla guy.. or even better.. the Zsu-23 guy. :) Everything is there.. it's one day for a model, one day of coding and two days of testing. :music_whistling:

It's like those airshow videos that take away half the excitment by replacing the lovely engine sounds with some music, except that here there's also heavy editing that takes away half of what's left. It's a nice video, but it didn't tease me much into expecting the A-10 (or the trailer). Maybe it's just my mood :=)
If you mean the actuall materials and manufacturing, I would guess it's less than half of the price. But how much do ones and zeros cost that make up the simulator? They cost nothing, yet the simulator isn't free (free as in the kind of free that everyone except one fat bearded guy thinks of when talking about a product).
It looks almost identical to the Kvochur's MiG-29 crash:shocking::

(althoug the reason may be entirely different)
The laser/no-laser has been simulated in Su-25 for a long time (since 1.01?). As for the "fricken laser", I think that was a description of a best-case scenario. If things were so perfect, there wouldn't be any need for aids introduced later, would be.
Add T-80 to that list. Including protection for the beloved popup menus... sorry, missiles :)
All are true for Serbian tanks and crews. US fire control, plenty of expirince, home terrein. Thus, my previous statement.
Some fine low An-2 flying in Croatia, killing them little blood sucking buzzing devils
