DCS: A-10C Warthog, a new flight-simulator, has been released for digital download on PC and Mac via Steam at a price point of $60. It has been developed by The Fighter Collection and Eagle Dynamics.

“DCS: A-10C Warthog is a PC simulation of the U.S. premier Close Air Support attack aircraft. This is the second aircraft in the DCS series, following DCS: Black Shark, and raises the bar even higher in the DCS series,” promise the developers.

Warthog brings the most realistic PC simulation of a modern fixed wing combat aircraft in regards to flight dynamics, avionics, sensors, and weapon systems. You also have the option to play Warthog in “Game” mode for a casual game experience.

Fly missions in the Caucuses region of the Black Sea against and with a wide array of air, land and sea forces with new and improved intelligence. Create your own missions and campaigns with the included Mission and Campaign Editors, and fly with and against friends online using the included online game browser.

Here is a trailer for the game.

  • Fly the A-10C “Warthog” in either realistic or game modes.
