Dang $49 for a single aircraft seems a little too high. I was going to get this to have a little fun but that price to too high for me based on what I've seen so far.

Nice to see the Harrier. I have the FSX jet; very nice. Waiting for this one :) thanks1

Trial and error is a must. I spent over 2 years creating the effects in BMS :)

You need to becareful with smoke dust etc because if they are too strong and linger too long they will kill your fps.

Hehe...well "thank you!" to both of you :)

Just a public thank you to Sobek for sorting out an issue I had accessing the forums. Thanks buddy! :)

Personally, I am disappointed the next aircraft is not a fast mover like the viper or bug. Many tastes for many folks so the P51 won't disappoint those who enjoy the old girls, but this one is not for me. Still, nice looking model ED. :thumbup:

This mod is on hold for now due to my committments to BMS development. On hold but not dead :thumbup:

Yep, I'm away from home so it will be a while before any further updates. :(

That is very cool!

Yep, it has been mentioned and a great idea along with glass scratches. :)

No bud, its the bumping around in the pit when you're rolling down the rwy. I turned the head movement off, but I find it is about twice what it should be.

This is what I had wrote....some may not agree but that's your opinion and this is mine :) I have over 5,000 hours flying P3s, Tutor, T33, F5, C172s, and other aircraft and have been actively flying simulation software since Flight Simulator 1995. I have been actively involved with beta testing simulation software such as Flanker 2.0, and involved as a developer for Falcon 4 community mod projects. I have followed the decline of simulation software since the late nineties, and like so many other hardcore simmers have desperately waited for someone to release a 21st century hardcore simulation; a new bench mark so to speak. I heard whisperings of such a sim being developed by Eagle Dynamics but I was not a fan other ED's other efforts in the combat simulation genre. A video become public of the A10C being started from a cold status , so I figure okay I'll buy it, but felt it would end up on my shelf like a few others that released over the past decade. Falcon 4 was my bench mark, and I still fly it today. DCS/ED decide to release the beta to buyers, which I thought was a great idea, so I purchased DCS A10. From the moment I entered the quiet cockpit and started clicking the battery power switch to initiate the start up I was sold. The terrain, 3d model, cockpit model, sounds, lighting, avionics, and weather are the best I've seen; on par with FSX and exceeds Falcon 4.0. The flight model and ground handling are fluid and feel very good although I find the ground bump on take off exaggerated. The damage model is simply the best available. It is the small details that make this sim awesome. Land too hard and you will blow a tire. Look at the tire and you will see it shredded. Take some hits from triple A and you will see where you were hit. Where is DCS A10 weak? In my opinion DCS A10 is weak in two areas. The first area is communications. In game voice communication via radio is a must now for online flights; a feature that is sadly missing in DCS A10, however a great little community mod called TARS fills that void. Also, the AI communication is not very good. The AI sound segmented, robotic, and there is very little environmental radio chatter. Falcon and FSX are the benchmarks in this area and ED/DCS would be wise to follow suite. The second area of weakness is effects. Where's the canopy glass scratches, cockpit shadows (I'm told this is coming in a patch), and the explosions although satisfactory could be much better. Overall, if you're a hardcore simmer this is a must have. Even with the two weak areas I mentioned this simulator is the new bench mark for all others to follow.

Thanks for your reply bud, but yes I checked my SPAM filter and there is nothing in it. Not sure what is up with that site. :)

I registered but still haven't received the email confirmation, so I'm not able to login in and write a review.

Nice job dude.

Congrats dude!

Hahaha....carefully :D

Cool. Good luck! :thumbup:

No, I probably woudn't buy it. I bought BS and although ED did a great job I just don't care for Russian aircraft. Then again I wouldn't buy all US aircraft either. I'd buy F15E, F16, F18, Harrier, Apache; that's about all I would buy.

Nice write up bud. :thumbup:

Very sorry for your loss :(

Sure will.

All still very much a work in progress. The only voice close to finished (90%) is the JTAC.
