I actually agree, steam is a fantastic online distribution service, and makes games harder to pirate, not only that, they will be in touch with the developers, allowing for automatic updates and such. Anyone else want to follow up? I got distracted and forgotten all the points I was going to make...

But now we see it almost completed! (They said that, too!)

I see :thumbup: I can sense the release now, we know the game is nearing completion now, if we are lucky we can expect santa claus to put it in his sleigh this year :D

They said 2008 on the FAQ, but no date. Can anyone explain why some sites are saying it will be released on the 8th September 2008? I'm guessing late 2008/early 2009

I did, but he looks to be handling it pretty well, Chris is a real world pilot, but it just looks so stable in the video, I want a CHALLENGE!

Ah, that is good, I'm thumbs up for that if it is only released to people who know what they are doing, so the download section is not filled with crap stuff that people made in 5 minutes... It is not really like that now, but I bet it will be if you give full modding rights to anyone, which ED will not, which is good :D

After seeing videos of DCS: BS and flying around, although the new black shark has Advanced flight model and is meant to be very realistic, I was just wondering how long it would take to be at a good standard with flying the helicopter, Will it be so easy that anyone can take off and hover from the first time of flying or will it require constant and minute alterations of the control inputs constantly to keep it stable just like in real life?

The question is: Will DCS still be as moddable as Lock on was? I.E you cannot really enter any of the hard-coded stuff to tweak things or even make your own brand new cockpit... In a way it is good because a lot of the community thinks they have talent, but don't and will always release stuff called "dcs cockpit mod final beta v.32323" and just recolour the entire cockpit, well that is possible but you get the idea. The flight simulator series was highly moddable and that gave us some very good payware addons, but in a way I prefer it to stay hard coded..

And if things go REALLY well we can have a nice thick manual to purchase and read in bed instead of a PDF. :D:D

First post on this forum.. I shall try this campaign later on today, looks fantastic, I should start flying the A model again
