That's why I'm glad I can just look around the cockpit and flick a switch. Once you're familiar with the lay-out, chances of accidently shutting down one of your engines greatly reduce.

You sure KA-50 is still relatively classified? I doubt it to be honest, since ED won't do a playable model unless they have about all the information you can think of. They don't like filling blanks with guess-work for the DCS series.
I just pointed out that if something is classified about each of the aircraft, it would be the Hokum, it's much more modern and still used only by Russia.

ED decided to focus on 1 aircraft at a time for very high detail/fidelity. LOMAC had multiple aircraft at "medium" detail (though the Su-25 was very good). I'm glad they decided to focus on max detail, and having rotary wing aircraft as well is simply fantastic.

I can foresee that should I ever get the next generation machine or manage to upgrade this one (whilst farming those flying pigs) then I'll definately have to aim for that A-10 sim.
Love the 'hogs
