i would like to buy dcs a10c

[quaros]

hello,

i wolld like buy dcs a10c warthog, but i want to know if it is really a realistic simulator. I currently use x-plane 8, and i want to know if dcs a10c warthog is at its level. i want to try this simulator:

it is a game or a simulator?

[Fjordmonkey]

It is very much a hardcore sim. Expect to read a LOT of manuals.

There are more realistic military aircraft sims out there.

 

Unfortunately, you will need to join the air force to gain access to them.

DCS A-10C

 

I haven't got much experience with other flight simulators/games, but i would call DCS A-10C a simulator with a game attached to it.

 

I have never experienced such a high level of realism in any game.

 

The stuff to learn is enormous, startup, shutdown, takeoff, landing, use of different types of weapons etc. The manual itself is 671 pages.

 

Have flown the A-10C for about half a year now, still have tons of stuff to learn and still find it very entertaining.

 

I would say that if you like flight simulation and gaming, this simulator/game is worth every penny. :thumbup:

:megalol: ...basically DCS A-10C should be the same the U.S. Air National Guard used for training on the new C-Model, more or less.

From the manual:

The Fighter Collection / Eagle Dynamics has been developing a high-fidelity Desk Top Simulation (DTS) of the A-10C for the U.S. Air National Guard for the past several years, giving us a tremendous access to A-10C information. We were fortunate enough to work out an agreement with our client to release an entertainment version of this simulation.

I doubt you'll find a more authentic simulator, than DCS a10c or KA50...

I would think xplane is likely at a level at somewhat similar to FSX. If that's the case A-10 is so far beyond the basic level of realism in FSX; there is no comparison. A-10 is at a level more like a complex airliner payware add-on for FSX.

...plus the flight model is not limited by FSX's modeling capabilities. e.g. if you drop a bomb, the weight and drag changes so you need to trim or compensate.:thumbup:

To put it in a nutshell: Buy it.

Even if you're not interested in the military part of the simulation.

Although there is currently only the Caucasus map.

You will not regret it.

Just (virtually) flying the DCS A-10C, K-50 or P-51D is a great, great pleasure.

Indeed. :thumbup:

[LcSummers]

For me its the best on the market.

 

Have A-10c and the P-51, next will be the Huey.
