Nice!

I'm useless in fighters, so I've got limited interested in the idea of DCS: F-15C (I'd still but it, though). smile

DCS: F-15E would be an incredibly exciting prospect, but the realism and pilot workload of DCS: Black Shark and DCS: A-10 makes me realise why ED would be reluctant to pursue a two-seater. You'd either need to heavily emphasis two-player co-op (which would hugely limit your market) or come up with an exceptional AI pilot/co-pilot to handle everything dependent on which cockpit you're currently in and an equally impressive inter-cockpit communication system for you to coordinate with your AI partner. I guess it's all possible, but it certainly wouldn't be easy.

Couldn't have said it better.

OP, great pics.

We used to do it in Janes F-15 / used to do front/backseaters in F-15 Strike Eagle 3 all the time so i think its doable

We had that discussion about 3 weeks ago, and a month before that, and...

Two seaters would be awesome but impossible to recreate with the level of realism DCS works.

Correct

DCS works to a level never known in the flight simulation community, not even Falcan 4 gets near..... sorry F4 Guys but time marches on and we need to support the future, not the past.

Mizzy.

Indeed time does march on,however the DCS series still has not been able to model a dynamic campaign,I did buy Black Shark,but got bored with it very quickly. I get no immersion what so ever from flying Russian airframes.DCS A10? Sorry Georgia doesn`t cut it for me,pick a country the aircraft was used in conflict.. Yes the DCS aircraft modelling is very good,damage effects etc,but with out the immersion factor it gets stale rather fast.

In total agreement about flying Russian airframes, but an A-10?? C'mon it's quintessentially American - what more could you want??

Immersion - the radios aren't implemented yet, so let's wait and see when passing judgement there.

I loaded up F4AF a few weeks ago but as much as I love the Falcon series I can't get past the ugly graphics and 2D/3D cockpit constant switching.

Bring on DCS A-10 I say!

Ooops - one more thing.
1920 x 1200 res of shots 2 and/or 3 would be grateful additions to my DCS wallpaper collection!
