PMDG 737-X about taking DCS A-10`s sim throne ?

FS9 users will not see this new plane, so they are left with the iFly 737 anyway. From the video, the FSX 737 looks like a prime argument to get and try FSX, too. Fantastic.

That. Quite impressed with what they showed in the videos. I don't own any paid-for modules for any FS game (and I agree what MS delivers is rather light for a sim), but I've seen and read enough about them to recognise this as something special.

Mmm lets not even go there. DCS is at some point limited due to the fact some systems are classified and therefore can not be modeled 100% accurately. It sets out for the same goal: to model a given platform in as much detail as possible, but you still end up comparing a combat aircraft to a jetliner. With that restriction in mind, the comparison kinda falls apart imho.

(And yes, The A-10 doesn't give me nearly as much as a headache as the Ka-50. It's a lovely thing, but wrapping your head around it is far from intuitive.)

I'll say!
