I suppose the best way to describe this sim is to call it a true study sim, any sim that has you flying multiple aircraft would be called a survey sim, this means that while it might be somewhat realistic, it is still covering a range of aircraft and thus becomes a "jack of all trades and a master of none", this sim is about one aircraft and it makes sure it gets it right.

You asked "is it worth the money?" Yes, it is very much worth it as you will not find a more accurate combat flight simulator anywhere else, this is a sim that really requires that you not only read the manual but also that you take some time to learn about the CAS (combat air support role) and all that it entails, this is not a aircraft that you will be shooting down other planes with, you are low and slow most of the time and your number one target is enemy ground vehicles.

These are lower fidelity like the free Su-25T which is pretty easy to pick up and fly.ĭCS A-10C is all about one aircraft, the A-10C (obviously) and it will not allow you to fly anything else (unless you download DCS World and buy the Ka-50 Black shark and the P-51 Mustang modules for it, then you can also fly those). Three of which are DCS aircraft (DCS: Ka-50 Black Shark, DCS: A-10C Warthog and DCS: P-51D Mustang) The other two modules are "Combined Arms" which basically lets you control ground units and AI airplanes in RTS style and also lets you drive most ground units ingame and then there is Flaming Cliffs 3 which brings FC3 aircraft into DCS World. Because lets be honest the gun is the best thing about the A-10C.Īt the moment there are five modules for World. It will take a lot of your time to learn every aspect of the aircraft but I can fly all day in the A-10C as long as there is ammo for the GAU-8 and a target to shoot at.

I'd rather pay $60 for one single aircraft with DCS level fidelity than pay $30 for 6 aircraft with lower fidelity. Almost every system in the DCS A-10C is exactly like in the real aircraft and it also comes with an advanced flight model that's incredibly fun to fly. If you use the key from steam to activate the A-10C module for World you have technically 2 aircraft to fly, although the Sukhoi is nowhere near the fidelity of the A-10C.īasically DCS aircraft are true to life simulations of the real thing.
