Is DCS an add on to Lock on Modern Air Combat? I have Lock on Gold at the moment. What all will i need in order to play DCS.

 

Rather the other way around now. Btw. you can fly the Su-25 in DCS World for free. Everything else you will need to purchase.

 

To fly the A-10C (DCS level, clickable pit, high system fidelity) you will need to buy that particular module.

 

If you want to update to Flaming Cliffs 3, you will need to purchase that separately.

 

Edit: The A-10A, which is a Flaming Cliffs/LOMAC level of detail AC can be purchased (either through buying FC3 or) separately as well.

Or if you Prefer Steam:

(note: FC3 Module is not Compatible with STEAM Version of DCS World)

 

If you want to Fly the A-10C, You Must Purchase an DCS:A-10C License from ED

Ok DCS world is a seperate application? So it isn't affiliated with LOMAC?

[SkateZilla]

LockOn is a Legacy Product Based on an Earlier version of the Same Engine..

ok that'll give me something to go on. Thanks for the help:thumbup:

DCS World is entirely seperate - although its made by the same company. Think of it as the sequel to LOMAC.

 

DCS World is free, and comes with the Su25T for free.

 

So download and install DCS World first.

Then PURCHASE and download the install the A-10C add-on / module.

 

Here's a quick start guide to introduce you to the A-10C:
