Some Screencaps from a recent DCS flight. Aces High, Take notes on the pretty graphics even on my low end PC  :D ( All taken from my view inside of an F-15C  :banana: )

Is this an online game, similar to AH?

Yes, it has a multiplier full of dedicated servers to play on. This was taken on /r/hoggit. DCS World, it's free. Comes with the default SU-25T upon download.

It has DLC, (modules) as the devs and players call them.

The planes like A10C, Mig21BIS, KA-50, etc. are all purchasable and then you can fly them.

Looks as good as Strike Fighters Series with mods IMO.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Note my crappy PC.... The game at full blown you-wasted-too-much-of-your-money-on-a-computer looks like this...

From what I understand you can get the SF series to look like that too.

But see, that is the vanilla game with no modifications.  ;)

Does it have 512x512 mile arenas capable of supporting more than 500 players simultaneously? What's the maximum draw distance before edge-of-visual fog masks the render distance?
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Who do you fight against? Does the F-15C have the option of fighting Su-27s, Mig-29s, -35s, etc?

It seems a very limited plane set, if I am reading it right.

I'm not quite sure of map size, but this is the playable (default) area.
