DCS: Big Day's to Come

Tomorrow at 2pm EST or October 8th 2am Beijing/Manila time Heatblur will be announcing the F-14 Tomcat. You can bet I'm going to stay up until 2am to see if they put it up for pre-order. I intend to order it the moment it goes on sale.

But there's more to this post than just a reminder for the F-14 reveal. Eagle Dynamics has finally announced that on October 10th we will finally receive the professional flight model, new cockpit, and more features on the Mig-29 for Flaming Cliffs 3. They will also be making the Mig-29 available for standalone purchase. Honestly, if you only want the Mig-29 then go ahead and get the standalone on the 10th. But if you get the full FC3 module you'll be able to fly the Mig-29 along with the F-15C, Su-25A, Su-27S, Su-33, and A-10A.

Of course, if you want to wait just a little bit longer you could pick up the Modern Air Combat module instead and get all of the FC3 planes along with the Mig-21bis, Mig-15bis, F-5E 3, A-10C, F-86F, and the L-39. As for me, I have FC3 and all the other planes except the L-39 already as full fidelity modules.

I'm sounding like a salesman on this post. 😛 I'm not meaning too, I'm just really excited about the F-14 and Mig-29. I've been waiting for over two year for the new Mig-29 flight model and over a year for the F-14. This is a good year for DCS in my opinion. I hope everyone is as excited about these planes as I am. Once I have the F-14 and the new Mig-29 in hand I'll try making some videos to share with you all.

Along with the announcement of the Mig-29 Professional Flight Model Eagle Dynamics announced a new WWII plane they are making. That's the Fw-190 A-8. I'm not sure why they are making an Fw-190 A-8 since we already have the Fw-190 D-9 but if that's what they want to make, then more power to them. I can honestly say I won't be buying that one. I'll save my money for the F-4E, Mig-19P, Mig-23MLA, and the JF-17. Those should be out within the next year or 2.

Keep an eye out for these new planes and others to come.
Enjoy Heatblur's reveal on the 7th/8th and happy flying.
