Discussion (in English) here: Screenshots of the new A-10

Absolutely amazing model!

Secondly, be sure to take a look at this SimHQ thread with screenshots of one of ED's third-party 3D modeling partners recently posted preview shots of their C-17 Globemaster-III model in development for DCS.

That C-17 is very impressive!

Thunderbird 14 is on the way!

Funny, that's exactly what I said in a different forum the other day too. Now, if we could only get a flyable F-16 too would just be fabulous!

DCS: A-10C Warthog
SimHQ Exclusive First "In-game" Screenshots

Mmmm...

Anyone else notice the new terrain, and even the grass on the side of the runway. Looks sharp!

P.S. Thanks Panther for the heads up.

Sure is a beauty. I can't wait, I want to move some mud in the Hog.

I second what Panther said, I can't wait to move some mud in that beast!

Wow! Those are some ridiculously good looking models - can't believe the level of detail. I don't have Black Shark but will certainly be picking up the A-10.

The last chopper sim I flew was Longbow 2 - that was a lot of fun, great sim for its time; so maybe I should get Black Shark, looks like it's pretty good stuff - I enjoy sims with a steep learning curve/high level of realism.

Looks like they fixed the shadows in DCS as well. Even with the same old terrain and clouds the updated lighting has improved the looks tremendously.

Looking forward to this.

PS- That moving map suck, it shows nothing but mountains when you can clearly see an OCEAN off the right side of the pit.

Had the same first thought when I saw these shots!

Wags @ ED Forums wrote:Attached are four new DCS: A-10C Warthog screen shots that show off some of the Nevada range, new squadrons markings, and payload options. This is still very much WIP.

We are currently in the process of converting to DX11, so aspects of the game are not looking so great during this transition. After the conversion is done and the game is looking good again, I hope to create the next video note.

That's one sexy looking bird!

Gee whiz info: The A-10 has the same engines (TF-34) as as the S-3 Viking, and the same powerplant is also used on the Canadair regional jets in its civillian version (CF-34). Thrust output varies with model number, but not by much...
