DCS: World Beta (Brad_Hawthorne)

I saw today that ED is consolidating all it's flight sims into one common engine called DCS: World. Right now only the Su-25T (free) and the P-51 (DLC) is available. Soon the Black Shark and A-10C will be added in and free to those that already own Black Shark 2.0 and A-10C 1.0. Looks like online mode only currently works if you own the P-51 though. The Su-25T is free though for single player. It's one of the aircraft ported over from LOMAC 2.0. Hopefully all the LOMAC 2.0 content will end up getting ported over and upgraded to higher fidelity.

DCS: World is available for download at: http://www.digitalcombats...nd_pos=135&lang=en

If you just want the free Su-25T to test it out only download the DCS: World files. Not bad for a free flight sim imho. THis'll be pretty cool once more content is added. With DCS now being a common engine it'll be much more interesting to see how persistent world campaign servers will turn out. I want to eventually run a server based on the unreleased DCS: Nevada map that will be available soon. Flying Red Flag out of Nellis and persistent world around the Vegas area would be entertaining.
