In all seriousness; big thank you from us to Erik for the well-written and professional article.
Hopefully we can get your few concerns out of the way with the release build. smile

I must say kudos to Leatherneck for accomplishing something that most flight sim makers have a serious problem with--getting the word out.

People can't buy your product if they don't know it even exists. Now SimHQ is a bit of preaching to the choir insofar that most visitors here already know of DCS and the MiG-21 in broad strokes if not in detail, but the press in other locations was definitely a good way to go.

Even worst case scenario if a person sees it and says "bah, I'd never fly a Russian jet!", it might make them think they'd like to fly an F-15, F-86, or A-10 and gravitate to DCS for those, increasing the base and helping the odds of other planes coming along.

Very nice review, thanks!

Doesn't make the waiting any easier though...
