Have you guys heard of this one yet?

having to read to learn how to fly a modern attack aircraft...

You mean having to read to learn how to fly a 'simulated' modern attack aircraft, give me the real manuals and the real aircraft and I'd get a hard on for it, but for the most part I fire up a flight sim to mess about and have fun, it seems a little strange to take a computer game so seriously, I admit being a real life pilot probably makes me slightly judgemental on this point, flying a PC flight sim is not like the real thing, but for some this is serious business I guess.

Hey thats not fair!!!

I am waiting for my copy. Must say cant wait for it.

I read and saw much of A-10. This is my favorite modern aircraft.

Sure i was and be a fan of WWII aircraft. ANd CLOD changed me!!!! I mean after playing it i cant switch back to IL2.

So hopefully Tuesday will bring me back into any cockpit.

Back to A-10. I have flown the missions (only A-10) in FC 2. I like the new cockpit, therfore i bought Reid publications for the A-10. Its a great book, i like it very much. The only thing i miss, i do not have a book with pix of flying Hogs.

S!

Russian company, I wonder if they have any former 1c employes.

DCS A10 is a masterpiece and it is far less complicated than most people think. Actually the Tactical Awareness Display and the Situational Awareness Data Link make A10 a far easier sim to fly Full Switch than Clod or 1946 are.
There are tonnes of community produced guides on the forum and videos on youtube that break the learning down into manageable chunks. As for the next project who knows or cares, it'll be brilliant, challenging, rewarding and DX11!

I agree, although I haven't played it yet. (Just read opinions, reviews etc.)

It's a sim so that's the way it has to be, but basically I'm starting to reach my limits of immersion with ultra-complex sims like this. I'm the limiting factor, in other words. LOMAC was nice, but obviously not nearly as complex as this.

I'll buy the game one day though...the A-10 is such an amazing aircraft.

Problem with sims like A-10 is unless you have a full mock up pit it is just too tedious trying to remember if you assigned Ctrl+Alt to this or was it Shift + Alt.......aww f**k it ill just get airborne and strafe my own airfield with the gatling.

Exactly, too hardcore for me. Flanker 2.0 was complicated but A-10 seems even more so. That's why I prefer WWII aircraft, no complicated weapon systems.

Interesting to think that someone who flys that sim in FULL real settings could actually jump inot a real A-10 and fly it?

Apart from Downloading way points into the nav comp (if they do that) before flights and actual pilot fitness do you think there would be any difference as far as input/controls go?

Dare i say that complex flight sims and how real they actually are helped one of the biggest terrorist attacks take shape and succeed

These Sims are getting so complex it amazes me
