I agree. I've never figured out why people slag it for looking dated. It looks freakin' awesome already.. I think people are just tired of the theater more than the graphics perhaps..

Nice shots..

I agree with you, I think graphics are superb, but we really need new theaters. Also a multirole US fighter and a gunship chopper (the Hind or the Apache) would add a lot of fun factor to the sim.

In fact I think a Afghanistan theater will add a lot, both for Su-25, Mi-8 operations and for A-10C as well, of course different layout for airbases will be needed.

Definitely. Apache + Afghanistan or pretty much anything + Iraq (or even a fictional (or real) Syria or Iraq) would be great.

I just watched the HBO Documentary "Battle For Marjah" last night. God, what a nightmare over there.

Whilst yes DCS has wonderful lighting and looks great at altitude, it is unfortunately heading in the direction of Falcon. Where the planes look great but the terrain is lacking especially if you get low.

Unfortunately, as been stated by other people, the pyramid terrain is needing a replacement and looking quite outdated now (especially if you are operating ground forces - PUKE)

C'mon edge.

Ohh whilst we are on the subject of terrain..... Shall we mentions tress that you can collide with or will they remain a mysterious visually blocking force for humans but computers and see through them no problems.
