DCS: A Beautiful Mess. Its History, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Hey all! Today I dive into DCS, I want to explore why it is such a great simulator, but at the same time, why is it so bad? We will dive in its history, going all the way back to 1991, the year Eagle Dynamics was born. And we will end on the present day, with a passionate rant. It was fun going through air combat simulators history, and learning how far Eagle Dynamics has come. I only wish the best for DCS, and I hope someday, it achieves to be the simulator it aims to be, and stops being such a headache lol. I may be swinging at DCS quite hard, but consider it from a very passionate fan of in many ways, an amazing simulator. To watch more about DCS in a more positive note, check out this video from ED:    • DCS WORLD - Top 10 Things You Should Know   A correction to what I said in the video, I did fly the F-16 on release to try the flight model during a stream, forgot about it as I didn't sit down with the manual until other day to really try and figure out what was going on. The stream was really fun! Was not able to jettison my ordinance and was really confused about it, now I know why... Sigh...
