July 23, 201511 yr comment_15347 The L-39 Albatros has just been made available for pre-purchase. http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/l-39_pre-purchase/ http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=145372 And when it's released in September (as an open Beta), DCS World 1.5.0 will also be released: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2438151&postcount=40 DCS World 1.5.0 will use the new rendering engine they've been developing. So, we're getting tantalizingly closer to DCS World 2. Report
July 24, 201511 yr comment_15357 Bah, open beta is one step I am reluctant to take. I will be buying the L-39, though. It will be a good step towards two-seating again. Report
July 24, 201511 yr Author comment_15358 I took the leap, and pre-purchased. Looking forward to learning it! Report
July 25, 201511 yr comment_15372 I'll be getting it too since I've actually flown it in RL. I used to do maintenance on two of them. Really well built and maintenance friendly and very much Warsaw Pact. Flys beautiful and acro is a joy. Took a while to get used to steering on the ground though... Here's one of them at Attitude Aviation in Livermore CA (I'm not a fan of the paint job): Here's the other one, now at the Hiller Museum in San Carlos CA Report
July 27, 201511 yr Author comment_15399 Also very cool news from Cobra at Leatherneck. The MiG-21bis will be updated for DCS World 1.5.0. This means the new cockpit and 3D model, and probably the DDR (East German) skins and BORT numbers! http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=145482 Very excited. Report
September 8, 201511 yr Author comment_16084 I've pre-ordered as well. Looking forward to flying it! Report
September 8, 201511 yr comment_16090 That's what I get for rushing, c instead of an s. It look gorgeous, hopefully this means 2.0 is close! Report
September 8, 201511 yr comment_16100 That's funny. I thought we had talked about the pre-purchase already but attributed it to my old age and something about deja-vu and the matrix. The post was bumped because of new skins, this one makes my purchase make sense: Report
September 8, 201511 yr Author comment_16101 Yeah, I pre-purchased back in July when it went on sale. I think it's still supposed to come out in late September, with DCS 1.5. Very excited. Report
September 10, 201511 yr comment_16145 Wags has teased us, yet again: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=146968 I'm totally making a mission with MQ-1's taking over all the cool airspace areas and putting the fighters in time out in a little MOA. HAHA! I successfully merged the topic. Yay me! Report
