DCS A-10C - Hovering/Floating A-10C

DCS A-10C is a game that claims to be a realistic simulation, yet you can land and taxi with all tires blown out. Fairly ridiculous that the developers would let this kind of thing happen. As you can see the plane just floats across the tarmac as if the tires were still there. At least make some sparks or have the aircraft skid around.

There is a Youtube video of a A-10C flying with both wings blown-off and on fire, yet the Warthog flies perfectly fine. These sort of things makes me shake my head, at how such a game company can get such simple things, terribly wrong.

DCS A-10C - F-15E model

Cool screens from AI F-15Es on a ground attack mission. I hope Eagle Dynamics creates a playable F-15E that would be very cool. I would love to go Mach 2 to the target, drop off some bombs and then speed away.

 Shock rings and flames on full afterburner 

AA damage all around and leaking fuel. Missing panels show avionics and components underneath.

DCS A-10C - Damage detail

Some screenshots of a damaged A-10C in a quick mission. I flew too close and low on a strafing pass and was hit by AA fire from T-80s and BMPs. I am surprised at how much punishment the T-72s and T-80s can take in DCS A-10C.

The screenshots below show how much detail ED has put into DCS A-10C. Everything is accurate, down to the last rivet. Look at the engine that is on fire, how all the components are in the right area.

Look where the GAU-8 cannon is, the panels are blown away from AA fire. The barrels will spin    when the trigger is pulled and the chutes will show the spent rounds! Amazing!

Enemy tracer rounds coming in close. I had extinguished the fire in the left engine, but after taking more fire it caught on fire again. I love looking at the nose and seeing what is underneath the panels.
