When you click 'Play for free' it boots into the game and starts downloading the new content in the background. I agree, the way it is implemented makes no sense, but it does work (eventually). It seems that only aircraft in which Eagle Dynamics were the developer are available for free trial.
The Tomcat is worth every penny of the £62 at full price I reckon. It really is very well done.
It was painfully slow last night but picked up the F5 and had an hour with it. Great old school seat of the pants stuff... No messing about with CCIP etc just stick the pipper where you want it and pickle ! I will probably buy it.The Tomcat is worth every penny of the £62 at full price I reckon.

Yes, used to like proper dynamic campaigns where you could influence the outcome of the war but if you failed a mission it didn't result in 'game over'. DI's Tornado, TFX, EF2000, Combat Air Patrol, Fleet Defender were my staples, particularly as the last two both had F14s.
There was a flight sim licensed from the (excellent) Flight of the Intruder book back in the 90s where you had the choice of F4 or A6 Intruder to fly missions over 'Nam in. I used to take my Amiga over to a mate's for the weekend and serial link two computers to fly 1v1 air combat or 2-ship formation bombing missions in between beer and curry.
I bought the F5 (and F86) for some old-school blatting about without a HUD in DCS. Nevada range in the recent sale too, so I'm having great fun with cannon strafing runs on parked airliners at McCarran airport in Vegas.

Yeah I purchased the F86 a few weeks ago and love it. I also have the A10 but its that bloody complicated .... I remember calling the local games shop up every day for about 2 weeks asking if flight of the Intruder had been released !If DCS released a proper stand alone dynamic campaign and charged £60 per aircraft with the campaign I would buy them.

Fortunately from playing other sims I am fluent enough to understand HUD and gauges etc I just don't have time to learn the minutiae of each aircraft and each sim and have a plane to refuse to start because I forgot for the 19th time to switch on one of the magnetos (Bloody IL2!) etc
I will give it a whirl this evening and see how I get on
Probably not the sim for you then?I will give it a whirl this evening and see how I get on
