What is DCS

[jcomm 5,950]

Not yet, the Su-25, because I had a busy weekend, but asson as possible I will give it a try.

 

Thx for the hint!

 

The Su-27 and the 33 are ASTOUNDING!!!!

 

I don't know if I will resist much longer buying even "Combined Arms", if not for any other good reason, at least to support DCS World.

 

The upcoming EDGE graphics are also something I really look for... 1.3.0 will be a great update, I am sure :-)

Great! I'll download and install it tonight! One question: Will the install of the update cause issues with the joystick assignments I have set up?

[jcomm 5,950]

Honestly, I never installed a beta of DCS. My install is so stable that I prefer to wait for the final version...  Anyway, these tF-51D is tempting me :-)

[Silver_Dragon 411]

The DCS: W Beta install apart of your Stable version, very good to testing proposes

Sling load tests:

 

http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2034408&postcount=1

 

I had to try out this right away. Took some time to figure out how the sling loads work and after that how to stay over the cargo net long enough for it to get hooked. After nearly crashing the bird twice with the first sling load and completely trashing the cargo I smashed the second cargo net to a building just to see what happens and to get "revenge". Third time I managed to move the load to where I wanted somewhat intact.

 

[jcomm 5,950]

Amazing!

 

Why can't the civil flightsim staff do things like this :-(

DCS is simply ASTOUNDING!

[Silver_Dragon 411]

Some time ago (in that forum), see PMDG stuff post giving all support to ED and DCS: W. I think the "civilian Stafft" wait to EDGE on DCS: W 1.3.0 release, and some civilian funtionality will be improved into them. Expected no delay far in time.
