    The DCS A-10C flight simulator from Eagle Dynamics is arguably the most complex and realistic flight simulator available to the consumer market today, and will remain so for quite awhile. If you are willing and able to make the commitment to acquire the proper equipment and spend a significant amount of time and energy climbing the steep learning curve, you will know as much about every arcane detail of the mighty A-10 Warthog as any military pilot.

    The most exhaustively detailed, realistic combat jet simulation you'll find outside of a classified U.S. military facility.

    Having flown flight simulators for over 21 years now, I have seen many developments in terms of graphics, realism, physics and procedures during that time. For me, DCS:A-10C is the pinnacle of these developments. The realism of the simulator is second to none from the moment you sit in a cold **** and have to carry out pre-flight checks, start up procedures, radio communications and full combat deployment tactics make it the most immersive simulator I have ever flown. For those that just want to jump in and shoot off a few missiles and drop a few bombs this is catered for as well, and I know many converts that actually fly DCS:A-10C now using full procedures. A key factor in the development of the simulator is the strength of the LockOn and DCS community that continuously push The Fighter Collection (TFC) and Eagle Dynamics (ED) to make the best simulator on the market. Both TFC and ED listen to the community wishes and likes and cater for those in frequently released patches to improve the simulator experience for their audience. From the moment I climb into the virtual **** to the moment I shut down the aircraft I am fully immersed in the vision, sound and thought provoking process to achieve my mission. In my view, it is the best combat flight simulator on the market and no other products come close or will do for a long time to come.… Expand

    DCS A-10C is an ingenious piece of software, providing an almost unbelievable military combat pilot flying experience. It pulls you in with a superb atmosphere and an incredible amount of visuals and detailed content. The **** start-up sequence alone will tempt you to enlist, and yes it is full of complexities, but unlike past military simulations DCS and their producers have made sure there are numerous resources and shortcuts available to assist you along this magnificent journey. The A-10C is an all-weather; multi-mission precision weapons delivery aircraft also known as the Hawg, not a beauty pageant winner, but unique and eye-catching in its own way and it definitely manifests its way into your blood. Sure there have been countless military flight games, but A-10C emphasizes new discoveries and intrigue over everything in this genre. For a consumer product, it’s easily the best Military flight game ever released. The unbelievable part is it’s just the beginning, as further modules are being developed with new aircraft, missions and sceneries. There are just too many things to list for a simple review, so I suggest reading the many out there that are professionally written. The end result is an investment into an excellent military flight sim platform leaving you extremely and completely satisfied.… Expand

    An incredible simulation. For understanding next to nothing, I can say the learning curve is STEEP (yes, with all caps). After learning one thing at a time though, it is extremely rewarding to watch those little derelict Urals go boom on the firing range (or of course saying **** it," grabbing rockets, loading all HEI rounds into the cannon and go blow random buildings up). There's so much to this sim to learn that if you're interested in combat aviation at all, its a must have.… Expand
