Can't wait to get my hands on this beauty. And yeah, simple MP formation flights with real navigation, cross country and in bad weather is something I'm very much looking forward to.

Shooting stuff is just a bonus.

First investment is free. DCS World is a free download and you get the Su-25T to play with, until you get around to buying another module.

Dont think of it as being vastly outnumbered ... but just having a large target selection.

The only thing more accurate than incoming fire, is incoming friendly fire

Im a shark pilot smile not played in a few months, but I will be returning in the next few weeks, I still have not flown the A10 as I love the shark so much, and everyone knows the helicopter pilots throw the best parties and have the hottest wives.

I will play some of the training missions before hopping on the server.

I have the Steam BS 1, any issues with upgrading to BS 2?

BS2 upgrade is not a true upgrade. It just checks to see if you have BS1 installed before it installs. It does not install over BS1, it does not use any settings or files from BS1. It is a totally new game that looks quite a bit like the previous one, but isn't.

So as long as you understand that process, it's painless. Buy BS2 upgrade, DL and install and activate, then you can delete BS1 afterwards if you wish.

Oh, keep in mind there are two versions of BS2...the old "standalone" version 2.x designed to work with the standalone A-10C 1.1.1, and the newer one for DCS World now at 1.2.3.

Unless you have a particular need not to, I would suggest you DL and install DCS World and get BS2 (as an upgrade module that works identically to the standalone as far as activation) for it.

At the least. They said many times it will come when 1.2.4 is released and if it takes the same sort of time 1.2.3 did then it maybe 2 months.

I literally cannot remember the last flight sim release that didn't need several patches to get working right. Some were clearly betas at release *cough*CloD*cough* and some just had tons of errors and other issues that needed ironing out.

The longer it takes to come out, the more work done now, the fewer updates it will need later. Never say "none", because that's unrealistic to believe, but I think we'd all prefer it 100% after just 2 or 3 rather than 4 or 5.

Actually I'd disagree. I'd take it today with the 5 errors over in two weeks with 3 errors. What can I say? I'm impatient biggrin
