Eagle Dynamics - The EA of the simming world
The whole BS2 upgrade thing was a mess but to be fair to ED they have made a good job of the DCS:World engine now.
The modules are all high quality sims in their own right and the pricing is around the same as most FSX addon planes, unfortunately that reflects simming as being a bit of a niche product.
Does anyone use the A10 Virtual Cockpit on your Ipad?

Free version seems good enough
MFDUs on the ipad, with full control!

What missions can the huey actually do?
i still need to master the blackshark...

Some of the missions with the Huey simulate Search and Rescue and counter insurgency missions.
Here a good write up of one of the search and rescue missions (contains Spoilers)

Hey guys, Ive recently got into DCS A10 and have started to get to grips with it. I can start up the plane, take off and land and have a basic understanding of the combat systems and navigation systems. Ive just noticed this thread and was surprised to see the game so popular here.
Do you guys play multiplayer together at all? Do you have a server where you meet up? It seems a lot of the fun is messing around with other players online and Im interested in starting to so this to help learn the intricacies of the game and improve my flying.

There will be multiplayer info on the eagle.ru forums, I've not tried it yet - but that will be changing with the Huey.
Huey landing practice: at sea
Huey landing practice: tower
Yeah Ive played some multiplayer now but I was more wondering if guys from this forum ever met up for more formal events or training together? I#d certainly be interested if anything like that was going to happen in the future.
Whilst Im posting Ill share this info from the ED facebook page:
DCS:F-15C and Su-27 will have AFM but not clickable cockpits, to be released later this year
I will be out of town this Friday. So this, combined with a post of the Russian forums, has led me to release this week's update a bit early.
This week we released an update to version 1.2.4 that included several changes that were planned for the initial 1.2.4 release but did not make it in time. With that out of the way, the team is working hard on version 1.2.5 that will further address remaining bugs in DCS World and its modules. As always, we'll be throwing in some new features as well. When we get close to finalizing 1.2.5, I'll post the preliminary change log to give you a heads up.
In addition to the never-ending quest for DCS perfection (yes, we have dreams too), we are working on releasing the F-15C Eagle and Su-27 Flanker for DCS World later this year. As I have mentioned in the past, DCS is not confined to one time period, one location or one level of detail. While DCS modules have focused on a very high level of detail, we also realize that there are many (often silent) users that wish for a shallower learning curve. In fact, the Lock On / Flaming Cliffs series has been our most successful. As such, the F-15C Eagle and Su-27 Flanker will be catered to them. Both of these aircraft will have the same detailed 3D models, cockpits and sounds of the Flaming Cliffs 3 versions, but we will be adding an Advanced Flight Model (AFM) for each.
We also want to release these aircraft in such a manner to allow users that are not interested in Flaming Cliffs 3, or do not have a Lock On installation, to still have these aircraft in their DCS World stable of aircraft, but at a greatly reduced price.
This is not to say that we will not also continue to create very high level of detail simulations. At a later point, we will further develop these aircraft to include mouse clickable cockpit and the same level of detail as the DCS: A-10C Warthog, but that is a massive effort that will take time.
In the meantime, the F/A-18C Hornet is still planned but we want it to be at the same level as our A-10C. Because of this, development will take much longer compared to the Eagle and Flanker projects to be released this year.

Yeah I read that last night on ED forums
A lot of people were unhappy/concerned about it and voiced their concerns
As usual the ED mods came down heavy and banned a few people (what normally
happens on ED forums if you say anything remotely negative about them)

I guess I can see their worries, but as someone who is interested in messing with the Flaming Cliffs air frames but doesnt want to pay $50 and worry about installing a 10 year old game with Starforce on to play, the announcement is OK with me.
As long as a the F/A-18C rivals the A10C for authenticity, I'll be happy. They just need to be careful with the marketing of these modules so consumers don't get confused and annoyed by the varying levels of simulation.
No clickable cockpits on these modules so the are "diluting" the DCS brand and appealing to the dirty casual player.
I just want a 15 or 18 E dangit! For better intergration and cooperation with the A10C lol. They should focus on modules that mutually benefit eachother in a multiplayer scenario. This encourages online play, community building and multiple module purchases.
Cheers mate..
But from the above post, it does say
I'm guessing it's a case of want it now! I personally cannot see a problem with it, ED are a business and need to try to appeal to both sides of the market! As long as in MP both "models" are seperated or it could be a major problem!
Yeah , but we have heard "later" before from Eagle Dynamics ..... Nevadaware, meaning something promised but never delivered
Yeah I think people are skeptical because ED have a history of taking a very long time to deliver on promises or never doing so at all. But I agree, I see this as good news and eagerly await the release.

Looks like I missed all the fun last night
I'd be happy if these were, say 10-15 quid each. Ideal for non-LOMAC owners. It would be even nicer if they decide to back port the AFM into FC3, but I won't hold my breath.
A sort of 2nd part to that update.
