Hats off to DCS for finding a way to bring us this kind of quality!


Completely, completely agree. The criticisms that the DCS terrain is boring or dated is just incredible to me. Perhaps those of us that played Amiga and C64 flight sims have more perspective I suppose. To me, the DCS terrain looks phenomenal..
