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: )

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.

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?

Does it have 109F4s?  :D

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.

Scholz, I watched the short version and when the M1A1 shots came online I fell swoon. I spent many a year playing in those tanks. Started with the M60A3 the moved to the M1A1. If those bad boys of free love were in AH I would get out of my A5 and become a DAT all over again...!

If you ain't CAV you ain't S****!!!!

Have to admit, the arena looks great. But the planes look a little fuzzy to me. Maybe with some graphics enabled it would look better. But it does look pretty!
