Well, here's hoping they updated that cheat, eh?


Ground safety override... makes one wonder what happens when a Mk-82 falls 3 feet from a stationary A-10C, doesn't it?

No it's bad enough seeing all my potential targets disappear for the five-minutes it takes to get all the avionics running ok without me having to click buttons too.

Probably less devastating than when I fly at 3 feet (Again, sorry about that).

Send the chief on a holiday, think he deserved a break. Not too sure about the replacement they send though.

FYI, German DVD release delayed until September 9th, for unknown reasons.

And it seems the DVD edition, against all opposite claims, will have a German manual.

Ok, got BS and A-10 already, is it worth my while - and cash to get lock-on and FC or will it be too much of a step backwards?

To be honest it is hard to say - I went from Lock On to DCS and still enjoy Lock On. Lock On provides for the part of me that likes pure Air 2 Air combat, where as DCS is currently all about Ground pounding.

Avionics wise it can't compare to DCS, and the the cockpits aren't click-able. But it is very fun to throw the Su-27 around the sky, and mastering BVR combat isn't easy at all.

I'd call that "properly modeled", no doubt.
