How do those of us that purchased it already in the beta phase get the retail copy?

Thanks!

Go to DCS website, log into your account. click on "Downloads" and you will see a link for download english ver or something like that. You can download seperate set-up files through FTP or HTTP or the a legal torrent, which seems to be the fastest right now.

Too bad there aren't any A-10s at Battle Creek anymore but hey, I'm downloading it anyways.

sweet, downloading torrent now

To guess the next release of DCS is to look at the military; I thought a beefed up version of A10 is offered to the airforce, so my guess is they will look for a product they could sell to the military as well as the civilian market. F18 seems more relevant than then the mudhen?

Sweet screenshots. Still 4 hours to go on my torrent download, which means I'll play it later this evening.

I still say the next plane will be A-10A.

Um, I see a sort of chopped off hub in the front, but no prop.

What kind of joke fantasy plane is this? Big circular radiators on the sides towards the rear indicate it has huge cooling problems, too.

Next plane should be the F-18. Carrier ops!

I have a tiny dream. Ah-64.

DCS: MQ-9 will be next. Think about it. It's what the military really needs these days. For the 174th FW and others.

+1 for the F/A-18!! Wasn't they working on one at some point for the original lockon?

Is it my eyes, or they finally got rid of the overdone bloom effect and colors seems also to much more natural in these screenshots than the majenta/blue of the beta.. Is it from the new graphic engine?

Nice screenies. Some of them look photo realistic.

The next release will be....drum roll please

I'd totally play DCS Cub.
That said, does DCS even know what the next sim is? Don't they build of work they are doing for military contracts, meaning Sim market forces/wishes have nothing to do with it?

That said, if they do go F/A 18, I'd be a happy man. The issue there is carrier ops, which the engine might not support too well, given it's limitation in LOMAC. As far as the F-15 goes, I'm all game if they go with the E model. The pure A to A versions would get boring.

Switchin back to the Hawg', I'm seeding the torrent, and I've gone from 500 peers (think that's my limit) down to 241. There are now more seeds than peers.

Has anyone who's played it yet comment on optimization compared to early beta?

Yep, they do. "USA fixed-wing aircraft".

A-10C is just out and barely has the paint dry so we have plenty of time before the next one.

Dare I say it?

DCS release #3 coming Summer 2013!

So far, Eagle Dynamics has deliberately stayed away from any aircraft with air-to-ground radar. Has there been any talk to the contrary recently? Because if not, it might narrow down the guessing options for the next DCS title.

Spoken like someone who's unaware of Janes F15.
