Mind you still no sign of edge yet .........
 
Really looking forward to the actual release version of 1.28 and its F15 with new advanced physics model and Huey with attachable loads. EDGE is planed for 1.30 I believe I've read somwhere.

sorry what is EDGE? tried googling but all I get it ED topics from 2/3 years ago

And don't go knocking Falcon until someone can come up with a dynamic campaign that can hold a candle to it ;)

Lol , ^ my point exactly

EDGE is a new render engine for DCS , big on promise low on actual delivery

It is supposed to be faster better stronger etc etc , but it has a somewhat mythical status
due it never actually arriving , it is a veritable land of unicorns and dragons etc etc
 
I've played DCS A-10c since beta, I had played LockOn/Flaming Cliffs when I was much younger in a "I have no idea what I'm doing" kind of way, but when the A-10c came out I was hooked immediately, it was my first real combat study sim. It was mostly due to not having friends who also played, now I'm surrounded by them.

I'd never heard of Falcon 4.0 until about 4 years ago and I shunned it wrongly for it's age, not understanding the amazing work BMS have done to it.

Now my point is, I'm at that stage where I'm getting tired of playing the same missions in DCS, the community seems very inactive in making them and the headache in simply going from desktop to take-off can at times be a chore.
"We've played this like 20 times, this mission isn't compatible anymore - this one is broken, a long list of these missions are cack, oh this needs a CA player, a FC3 player or BS2 player, this has too many slots, or not enough."

Then I played my first BMS game, connect - dynamic mission generation(Dogfight, premade mission or Campaign),slot, play. You can spend more time pre-launch with loadouts, change waypoints and points of interest and if you're tired of start-up and want to get right into it - go right to taxi/takeoff.

It's something that came to my realisation yesterday after all this time that it's really hard for me to go back to DCS, I loaded it up with a friend and we just wanted to play x2 A-10c capable missions - of which the likes of fob vetka and such are too predictable. DCS really, really needs a dynamic mission manager for multiplayer.

Also in before someone says "make your own" - well, I don't think it's reasonable for a game to have to ask you to make missions before playing.

Fully and do mean fully (electrics, hydraulics, advance flight model... you name it) modelled Mustang is a pretty good freebie! I would never have bought it myself, not for modern theatre DCS world anyway, but now that its free I have to say it's a fun experience!

 
I just installed DCS world and enjoying it,miss the olf flying games like tfx and apache longbow, now just waiting for a sale on the dlc.
 
DCS is quite a breathtaking sim, I've spent about a hundred hours in the Ka-50 and about the same amount in A-10c. Definitely among the best video game experiences that I ever had. I have semi arcade Flaming Cliffs 3 as well, will give it some time after the exams are over (now that they have advanced physics for the supersonic F15 - a first for DCS).

Free Mustang... another kick in the teeth to paying customers. Eagle Dynamic can go to hell.

Freebie mustang is unarmed

Recently got back into A10ing, i like the 104th phoenix server - always seems to have a decent amount of people on and the missions are mostly quite simple and close quarters. Main downside is everyone loves the fast jets so if you get locked in a ground pounder chances of survival are slim. My reasonably working tactics are staying as low, ~500ftAGL upto the targets and getting the hell out of there if the RWR gets too noisy or flares/chaff start popping. Then again I'm still a bit of a noob in this so im probably doing it all wrong...

never actually got round to playing the world. just played some of the a-10 game in the past....and failed lol! I could start up and fly about but all the systems..... I just didn't have the patience for....

think it's about time I broke the joystick out and gave this a go again :D might need a new joystick tho as my cyborg evo is probably a bit dated/busted. at least I remember the base being a bit pants so when turning a corner would lift up :p
