"Excellent!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Unfortunately it doesn't install on 32 bit systems… However that's a great incentive to upgrade to a 64 bit kick ass gaming system ;>

"Very good "
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Yes it is as good as it looks and will require a fairly grunty pc to run it though .Don't expect to be blowing things up straight away though . Read the manual and set up your controls in simulation mode for the training missions as the game controls wont work for training missions . Graphics are very nice and flight controls are very good .This is an excellent sim and once you get the hang of how the targeting system works you will get great satisfaction out of dropping a bomb on your target

If you enjoyed DCS Black Shark this is a must have.

"Hmmm, definitely good but..." Purchased on Mighty Ape

I must be doing something wrong but very difficult to control. As I fly real world aircraft with success I struggle with this concept. Excellent graphics but almost uncontrollable and stalls at the drop of a hat, something the real aircraft is designed to minimise. Awesome cockpit detail but not an easy fly. Beware!

"Brilliant"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The best simulator I have ever played. Well worth it but you have to be patient and learn all aspects of take off, landing, navigation and bombing.

"As perfect as a flight sim can be"

This sim has definitely raised the bar since DCS Black Shark, and sustains the extremely detailed systems simulation and flight physics modelling. Improved graphics are an added bonus, although they can chew up your frame rate if you aren't careful. I would highly recommend ALL DCS simulations, and am eagerly awaiting the next installment.

"WOW !!!!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Having flown real world aircraft myself (Unfortunately not this one) I have to say that this one blows anything else out there out of the water!! This sim has a realistic cockpit that is second to none,sounds that are simply amazing and it flies well and it shows you in sim mode -who the boss is !For example if you land too heavy the tires will blow out and your flight will end in disaster. The only downside of this sim is the grunt required to run it .If your pc doesnt have a minimum of 4 gb ram,a fast processor and graphics card then you will need to upgrade your pc to run this awsome sim and enjoy the fantastic graphics it offers.My rating is 9.5/10.

"Don't do it"
2 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Poor control and very steep learning curve. Not the flight sim that you can just jump in and play.

"Perfect simulator"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

While some people might complain about the long loading times (which are not that long for a newer quad core) you have to appreciate the shear volume of information and detail this simulator incorporates. I would not recommend buying this just for the ‘game’ version as it's not the easiest to get into however the ‘simulator’ mode is incredible. Easily the best simulator of the year

"Take a good book"

While this game looks great you will spend a HUGE amount of time waiting for it to load between screens (minutes, not seconds)! Also while trying to do the training the game didn't register a command input and I could not go any further. Shame really as I was looking forward to getting into this game.
