Sorry for off topic, but this is something I have to share :D

As you may noticed I'm a huge fan of LockOn and DCS series. Eagle Dynamics just released their first producer note about upcoming DCS: A-10C Warthog simulation. This is going to be a game for those who like to click on those small buttons everywhere in the cockpit ;) ED already done military A-10C simulation, now they are making an entertainment product.

Watch in HD!

And interview with Matt Wagner from ED:

Bjoern - yes, they are working on dynamic campaign. It won't be ready in this iteration, but campaign structure will be more advanced, and you will be able to make random events in custom designed missions, or even a complete random generated mission.

This is something I am really looking forward too !, the information in their product will be very helpfull for a project I'm working on, if only to show what FSx cannot reproduce !.
 
I've been looking forward to this for a long,long time!!:salute: Can't wait for the release!! Hopfully in 2010.

That's nice news and a good start, but I'll wait for the real dynamic campaign! Maybe they'll put it into something like "DCS: MiG-27". ;)

Please God ...no! I can see it now...45 mins trying to decipher the Cyrillic placards, another 45 mins starting it .................only for the pesky thing to go U/S at the end of that ordeal!:d
 
Oh yeah, will get this for sure! I think I'll save my money and skip LOMAC 2 and wait for this instead!

If they would do "DCS: F-16 Viper", then you could chose to do Air-to-Air or Air-to Ground missions. Whereas with the A-10 you're limited to A-to-G, and with the MiG-27 you're limited to A-A.

The Mig-27 is a ground attack aircraft.

F-16s, A-10s, F-18s have been overdone over the years what about them making something slightly less popular and boring like a decent F-15E simulation, or F-14, or Harrier - all have been overlooked for many years now. A good Harrier would be awesome in lomac.

I loved the Flanker series, I like Lomac, but can't help but wish for some of the overlooked types that would be just as popular.
 
A-10's and F-18's have not been overdone in my opinion.

An aircraft is not overdone until it has been made to the calibre that DCS has shown.

People can try and make poor renditions of the A-10 (ARMA), but overdone? It's not even out yet lol

Agreed 100%, until its modelled correctly for those that want the realism in a true simulation it hasnt been overdone. Infact isnt Lomac the only real choice when it comes to the A10 in a combat environment?

Indeed LOMAC is the only 'real' choice.

As far as ballistics go, it's the best. As far as systems go, it could use some work.

I'll wait for that new WIP Falcon 4 mod instead. Let's hope it'll run on 7.

Whereas with the A-10 you're limited to A-to-G, and with the MiG-27 you're limited to A-A.

As much as I find the F-14 overpopular, as curious I am about TK's (Strike Fighters 1+2) next simulation of which, until now, only screenshots of an F-14 were to be seen...
