Grimes I agree with you 100%, there is always a lone wolf group of players in a MMOG, that will never work with a squad. There was a time in another MMOG my squad plays that large squads used to be able to do combined arms OP's with other squads and we used to have quite a good time. The frag element was always there, and they were incorporated into a attack or defense knowing how they play and it worked out and I believe a unique/memorable time was had by the majority of players. The game has changed and there is now a small group of players who control of where people can fight and it has taken away the freedom for large squads to operate and most have departed the game entirely, along with a large group of players, the frag em up type of play was not what a lot of them were looking for. I'm not sure how big the market is for a MMOG marketed to a crowd that appreciates actual strategy in a 1st person combined arms environment and would like to see a MMOG with modern weapons, hopefully it is large enough for a game developer to make a attempt at it. I see great things for DCS in the future, I can't wait and I am glad to be part of it.

S! Would it be possible for DCS to incorporate a ground element into the DCS world?? With the addition of BlackShark, Lock On and the new A-10 into one continuous world, the possibilities seem to be endless. Has this been talked about at all - is it possible?? Having 1 server with a large area to fight in would make for some intense battles, especially with DCS's attention to detail - it could attract a gamer more interested in a strategic type of play than the frag'em up type. Ultimately we are playing to win and kill/down aircraft - but the insta-action is not what I think anyone playing a study sim is looking for. Thoughts ??

Hello, Looking for someone to set up a DCS BlackShark server along with another server plus some website work to go along with the servers. If this is a something you can do and would like to make some extra cash, please PM me and I will give you details. Thanks, Basset

Thanks for posting!

Arrived this AM - posted on Sept 9th, i was wrong, it came from Western Europe - from the Imperial War Museum in England!! 7 days transit time - ordered on Sept 3rd - mailed Sept 9th - at my door on Sept 16th.

I sure it was shipped regualr mail, not a UPS/DHL type of service with a tracking #. Ill bet it was put on a container and its slow boating its way to the USPS. Mail from Western Europe arrives here in 4 to 6 days. Im not 100% sure where this ships from, a educated guess is eastern Europe. When it arrives Ill post a update. I understand your frustration, Hang in there!! it will come.

I ordered a copy of the dvd and a manual Sept 3 and have it shipped to Michigan in the states and it has not arrived. Assuming its coming from Russia Im thinking Sept 17th to 25th arrival time frame. No biggie, I have lived 41 years without it, I can wait another month. It will come.
