Why stop at Poland, SW Asia and Eastern Europe should all be included as well. Pakistan, India,Afgahanistan....hell even the US....I'd love to play a Red Dawn Campaign.

Call me a sick addicted junkie, I would purchase a "Snoopy vs the Red Baron if DCS built it.

Waiting for my Ipad to be delivered now...I have big plans for that puppy, checklists, maps, notes, AARs and with Ghost Unit's Ipadpit I can use it for as a MFD input device. Thus creating the uber-kneepad

Great photos, reminds me of sitting behind the .50 cal on a Humvee in Delta Force Black Hawk Down taking out techies....I can only imagine how much more fun it would be in an A-10.

Lol now i understand...yeap that could be a problem

I've said this before and I'll say it again. Flight is tough enough without "bird strikes". The difference between getting hit by a dove and a Berkut eagle is vastly different. "Unless a nation straps a Sparrow missile onto a pigeon and trains it to dogfight I say just make the birds "eye candy".

As an ex-Army Air Traffic Controller I agree 100% with Cat 101st. Getting a T/O clearance before you hit the runway is problematic, most controllers do not want to give up that last minute ability to check the situation before giving a clearance. You'd be surprised at what happens between "taxi to and hold short of runway X" and "cleared for takeoff". Overturned cups of Starbucks, and mis-tuned radios/navaids have delayed a lot of T/Os causing a @$#! load of problems on the active.

At the moment I'm running 32-bit Vista, but I'm switching to Win 7 64. Just wondering if I should run a duel boot system, is it necessary? I've heard x64 has some problems with older games? The game runs well but I get an occassional crash, which I think is due to Vista. Any suggestions. Thanks in advance to anyone kind enough to offer an opinion.

This is brillaint, I just purchased a Ipad with thoughts of using it as a knee board, for checklists and maps....this is much better. Now I just have to contain my excitement until UPS sends me the IPad. Thanks again.

I agree with all the above except the whole "bird strike" thing. To have it happen once would be interesting, but after that its just another way to destroy an aircraft. I have enough to worry about from small arms, shoulder-fired missiles, Sams, air to air missiles and more importantly my own incompetence. Having my multi-million dollar aircraft downed by "Daffy Duck" sucked into my intake 1/2 mile from the target area would drive me effing insane, or rotor strikes on a Berkut eagle, Jesus life is difficult enough, if you're going to program in random death and destruction, why not add wire-strikes, lightning strikes, heart attacks while in high G turns, the list is endless. Unless some nation straps a Sparrow on a pigeon and trains it to dogfight, I say just make the birds eye-candy.

F-15 It may be getting a little long in the tooth, but its still the heavy weight champion of the world. However it's not our turn so...now I'm assuming the mud-moving theme is over for a while, at least until the MI-24 comes out. So having said all that I have to select (insert drumroll here) Mig-31 or JF-17

Buy it you won't regret it, I'm using a Saitek 290 purchased from Walmart for $19.95 and having a great time.

If I could I'd get the ground crew to weld them in place.

Deja-vu thats me!!!!!!

So in three days I've gotten a pretty good handle on flying this gem, but there is one problem I can't shake....these damn wheels. I'm not worried about navigation, weaponry ,or communications, I'm just doing takeoffs, crosswinds, downwinds, base, low approaches and full stops. I can't tell you how many times I've forgotten to put the wheels down....so Mr Developer, can I have a KA-50 with skids...please. lol never mind you guys have your plate full with the A-10....I'll just have to shake the cobwebs from my fossilized brain cells.

Believe me I'm far from a pro, when I left the army the a/c where model T Fords compared to this new generation of birds, the UH-60s had finally replaced most of the UH-1s, and the AH-64 had replaced the Cobra, and the Longbow was just a gleem in some flight enginners eyes. Actually there were rumors of the Longbow but we never saw them. I did catch a glimpse of the highly secret AH-6, I thought the Delta Force guys were gonna come poke my eyes out. To all the guys that recommended the Producer's Notes thanks, they were a lot of help. The KA-50 is a dream to fly but a nightmare to fight for me, working my way through all the bells and whistles has been a challenge. But it's coming along nicely. Once again thanks all.

Howdy neighbor, good to see the fine folks of Georgia represented here.

The only a/c that can scare the fecal matter out of me while parked on the tarmac with the rotors tied down. Meanest looking, ugliest mofo in the world Mi-24.

Where to begin....I had an easy install, watched the opening cut scenes with my mouth open, stuned by the detail of the a/c....loaded up the Fam Course, got a look in the cockpit and thought if you removed the MFD it was kinda like a UH-1 panel that had all the instruments installed by a crack addict...but I recognized just about everything except the new avionics, after the briefing I took over pulled some collective, reached transitional lift, got about 10 meters off the ground and immediately rolled it over, bounced on the tarmac and decided maybe I need to RTFM.. As far as comparisons go, there is none The UH-1 flight simulator was IFR..the windshield was blacked out, used only for IFR flight training, emergency procedures and NVGs, it was on a hydraulic platform 6 meters off the ground, you had about 30 degrees of movement (yaw) left or right of centerline, maybe 10-15 degrees roll, and aproximately 40 degrees pitch up and 15 down. I've never been on a roller-coaster than could compare to a simulated Tail Rotor Failure. We actually crashed a real OH-58 on a mountain in South Korea that wasn't as bad as that simulated tail rotor loss. Flying in a comfortable chair with a cup of coffee or vodka if you so desire is a lot different than sitting in that brain numbing vibrator. Once I can actually fly this gem I'm sure I'll be back

thanks I'll do that. I've watched several of the Youtube vids linked here, I have a lot of stick time on a UH-1 IFR flight simulator, and CH-47 simulator, having been both an army Air Traffic Controller and Simulator Operator for the army I shouldn't have to much trouble, unfortunatley I retired before the Army's AH-64 Simulators came on line. Thanks for the info.

I first heard about this sim over a year ago while reading the Forums @ Subsim, saw the screenshots and I was really impressed, I hadn't played a decent sim of "Da Vinci's mistake" since Longbow, but as time passed I forgot about it, now I've been reading the forums for the last 5 hours while its been downloading and I'm psyked. I'm looking forward to endless hours of looking at a PDF, crashing & burning, alienating friends and family....Am I sick or wHat?
