AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS

 

Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

20 yrs ago this game would be like what DCS A10 is today :)

I flew most of those games, including the older A-10 game. Must say, for a game released in -95 it looks impressive. Too bad some of the features was never realized (fingers crossed for ED).

There will always be bugs. If everything is a priority nothing is.

Yep, in fact I still have it up in my attic, along with quite a few other classics.

 

They were works of art, at the time. Just think though, if that was the DCS equavalant 20 yrs ago, just what will we be flying in another 20 yrs :)

My Amiga 1200 is still set up in my kitchen, hooked on old CRT TV, analogue joystick and A-10 Tank Killer 1.5 with all three theaters ticking hapilly on it... and A-10 Cuba! is set up on my PC in Virtual Box, these sims are legendary!!! I still fly them cause their fast paced gameplay is still no match for any of todays sims... (of course, disregarding our beloved study sim)...

A-10 Cuba was and still is extremely good simulator. The physics, flight model, avionics and AI are better than in Flaming Cliffs 2. I tried it some time after DCS Warthog was released and found its FM to have very similar feel both lightly and heavily loaded. Engine performance in the A-10 Cuba is better than in reality and ability to carry HARMs is another big unrealism but both are of course something every warthog pilot would love to have. If it had TrackIR support, more missions and fancier graphics it would still be one of the best sims out there. The missions in A-10 Cuba are the best in any simulator yet and very challenging. I can still remember how I got my wing clipped by a flying tank turret after strafing run.
