DCS: A10C Warthog Interview

[Feb 10, 2011, 11:01 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The DCS: A10C Warthog interview on Games On Net talks with Jim Mackonochie of The Fighter Collection, developers of this upcoming hardcore combat flight simulator. They discuss how this evolved from a simulator used by the U.S. military, how the game is accurate in every detail except for classified details, enemy and wingman AI, the mission editor, system requirements, tutorials, future content updates, and more. He concludes saying the game should be released via digital distribution by the end of this month, and a boxed edition should follow in two or three months.

DCS: Black Shark - Stand Alone Game
DCS: A-10 - Stand Alone Game

These two games can and will be compatible in multiplayer. So if you have one game you can join the servers of the other, however you do need to have both games to be able to use both aircraft.

LOMAC: Platinum - Standalone game, the DEVs have stated on numerous occasions that it wont be compatitble with either of these games in multiplayer.

IL-2 Cliffs of Dover - Standalone game, NOT compatible with ALL of the above.

They released that trailer a while back, but still worth watching again. It's been a long time since I picked up a serious flight sim but I just might with this one. I love the Warthog, and I'd hate to be on the recieving end of one of those things.

Ok, so is this correct or wrong?

DCS:BS Standalone product
LockOn: Flaming Cliffs 2 Stand alone product <<I thought this required LOMAC?
A-10: Stand alone product

They're standalone products. With the newest expansion-to-the-expansion for LOMAC, you can play multiplayer with DCS: BS players, and as far as I know DCS: A-10 will work with both as well. LOMAC has a lower level of simulation detail than the DCS games, since it's less focused.

I have a question for you pilots out there.

I just purchased a new Saitek X52 stick/throttle and I want to know if I need to purchase LOMAC in order to play these games or are they all stand alone products?

Well for a "dead" genre, flight-sims are doing remarkably well

This is a day one purchase for me, along with (probably) Cliffs of Dover IF Oleg finally manages to create a story or campaign that actually does some justice to his sims, which shouldnt be too hard (considering the Battle of Britain is the subject matter). Il-2 (and all of its expansion) was terrible with regards to its dynamic campaigns.

DCS: Black Shark is phenomenal, btw....
