I'm just a random dude with health issues that prevent me from flying any type of aircraft in real life and DCS gave me the chance to live my dreams. Sometimes I just spawn on the ramp in a rainy dawn. I listen to the rain falling on the canopy and start my aircraft. It's a pleasure listening to her as she comes to life. The sounds make me feel like I'm really there. And then I just fly until the sun rises :). What you guys at E.D. do is a work of art. The 2.5 engine is a masterpiece. The amount of work you guys put even in these trailers show that this is not just a job for you. It's a passion. I said this back in the 2.5 release trailer and I'll say it again. Thank YOU for making our dreams come true. Have a great 2019!
Thank you for your words! I have a very similar way of enjoying the sim, I don´t care about the military aspect of it, I´m happy starting up my helos and planes and just flying them.
Same here, guns are fun and all, but I just enjoy the flying, startups, flying and landings and all the learning of these awesome machines, and getting a huge kick of those old WWII planes as I am a WWII avgeek xD
Copy that, gentlemen. I'm here purely for the joy of flight that my poor vision prevents me experiencing from the big seat IRL. There's no greater feeling than powering up the old Merlin on a grey and damp Tangmere dawn and taking my RAAF skinned Mustang to Caen hoping to find Price, Davis and MacGregor ;-) Or a high speed, low level run anywhere in my RAAF Sabre. Once the Falcon is released I'll never shut the PC down
From Nick, Kate, Cato, myself and the rest of the Eagle Dynamics team, thanks for the wonderful and heart-warming response to the video. Our video producer, Cato, really knocked it out of the park! If you really enjoyed the video, we’d be grateful for any shares of the video to your Facebook, TH-cam, Twitter, Instagram, etc. social media. We’d love to share this video to the world and you are an important part in making that happen. All the best, Wags
Eagle Dynamics: Digital Combat Simulator You guys have poured years of your life into making this game an incredibly in-depth and rich experience for anyone who jumps into it and this video demonstrates that perfectly. Keep doing what you’re doing.
ED, you knocked my socks off. I have only one wish for Christmas next year, a Viper wrapped in a pair of new socks. Absolutely brilliant video production, loving the style you have with it. Thank you. And happy holidays!
Guys you are the most dedicated and incredible developers I've ever seen. I'm so happy and proud to be apart of the DCS community. I will support you forever. Well done on making the best game that has ever existed. Looking forward to the future.
Myself and others at ED are reading your comments and we are delighted to get such positive reactions to this video. Greatly appreciated for all the kind words! :)
Cato, it is a pleasure to work with you as it is with our whole team of 120 dedicated and talented guys and girls at ED. 2108 was a fabulous effort under very difficult circumstances... Everyone pulling on the same rope, doing their absolute best to make something truly memorable and enjoyable for our users ...... Thanks again for all the late nights and attention to detail. You are true to DCS and the product shines beautifully in your hands. Many thanks, Igor would have been proud...... Yours, Nick
Literally teared up and got chills. Best Flight-Sim Video...hell, best VIDEO I've seen in a long time. Had to show the wife. She wasn't as giddy as I was about the Viper, but she enjoyed the video! :D
Yesterday, I was hitting the tanker on NVGs in the pitch black of night over the Persian Gulf after a mission that took losing half my squadron to complete. I was shaking from the adrenaline and had to dry off my joystick before nursing the damaged bird right and calling "ready pre-contact". What a fckn game!
@@LtRiot What a game, indeed. We're in the midst of what I consider to be a flight simulation renaissance. Surpassing even the heady days of the early to mid 90s.
As the song says. "I don't want to fall in love, with you" but I fell in love with the F-16C ever since I saw them flying overhead frequently in and out of Spangdahlem Air Force Base in Germany as a kid living over-seas. Seeing that at the end was just icing on an incredible cake that was amazingly moving. I can't wait!
I'm older, disabled, and stopped using flight sims before the 90's for their lack of evolutionary progress. But over the last two weeks of nothing but DCS training / mission videos, I can honestly say that although I'm starting out broke, I'm already saving for a modern (gaming) computer that will even allow me to use your products. I need to do this. I don't intend on making a full cockpit, but over time, some Thrustmaster products will be on the list for sure. So keep your eyes on the horizon, and I'll see you in the skies in the next year or so. -Cheers!
A vr headset,hotas and decent pc is all I use no fancy cockpit or multi screen setup. Dcs in Vr is epic. Dropping a bomb from above from above aa and watching it on tgp pod smash a bridge was just amazing. I have bought lots of planes [which I can’t fly] but I always come back to the a10.... I just love it.
Thank you for a great year full of incredible content. DCS is on it’s way to become so much more than just a flight sim. I really appreciate the way you include us from the DCS community. Makes me proud to be a DCS fan, pilot and customer. Thanks also to all the great community-contributors and developers out there. You really make DCS something special! Looking forward to 2019!
^ And this is why many people have been involved with DCS for so many years. Some for a decade or more. Keep going ED, Fighter Collection and all the Third Party devs. Love where DCS is going.
I can't believe I discovered this game just a month ago,... so many years wasted not playing this.I must say great work, the game is just simply awesome, keep it up.
Same here. I don't even own a PC. But I will spend a fortune to join this community asap. Growling Sidewinder TH-cam channel popped into my suggestion field while watching low pass compilations one day... That was it for me. Shut up and take my money. 🤣
Very nicely composed, some cracking cinematography there. Also, that sneaky Viper tease. You animals. Thanks for a great year ED and Co, it's been a good ride See you in 2019
Almost a year after release and this video sends chills down my spine and brings tears to my eyes. What you all have done is just simply incredible. There are just no words. I'm grateful I can be a part of your incredible journey and that I have the privilege to enjoy something as outstanding as DCS World.
Eagle Dynamics: Digital Combat Simulator thanks man! I will definitely get on it when it comes! I am just pumped for the future of DCS, F-16C, F-14A&B AND my favorite of all the F-15E!
The person or people who made this trailer... An absolute master of the craft. From the music that cuts through skin and bone to the excellent camerawork. Truly one of the best video's on the entire internet.
3 Things: 1.) I've been into Eagle Dynamics ever since playing the Flanker Demo on my Windows 95 Game Sample CD, way back in the days of solid color polygons. I've picked up almost every version of the game's development right through LOMAC and in to DCS. I've played just about every flight simulator out there (the whole Mircosoft FS series starting with version 1.0 in the DOS era, X-plane since version 4.0, Flight Gear and many more.) DCS stands atop a massive stack of flight simulation gaming, reigning supreme in both flight model, sound and detail. 2.) Eagle Dynamics Software (mostly DCS) has been and is the single largest investment I've made software wise, surpassing even the cost of my VR hardware, and I regret nothing. 3.) The F-16, has been, and still is my single most favorite aircraft: The whine alone from the engine at idle sends shivers down my spine. I really wanted the Harrier, F-18, F-14 and Mirrage. However, nothing compares (in my humble opinion) to the F-16 in both sight and sound. I will say this, where I have never before believed in purchase of software sight unseen, in regards to the F-16: Shut up and Take my money.
zepcono1 Thank you for being a believer. It has been a long uphill road and we still have a huge hill to climb. The joy and freedom of flight is too good to simulate poorly. We are not there yet but doing our very best for people like you. Many thanks again. Yours Nick
danczehajek the super hornet is still in active service so I’m assuming a lot of the upgrade details from C model to E/F models are very secret, all C models have been pulled from active combat roles since May 2018
3:00 through 3:18 . . . most breathtaking 18 seconds shiver-inducing *fake* footage EVER... I've seen this video several times and every time I get the same feeling. This video alone has helped me get 3 friends to download and try DCS. Superb audio track, everything.... KUDOS! o7
Once I started investing in DCS, I sat my friends down and subjected them to EVERY Eagle-Dynamics promo starting with this and ending on the new F-14's. So then, after watching F-14's _Defend the Fleet_ promo, I SPECIFICALLY brought therm right back to that exact scene @3:00 because they would now be able to interpret & make since of the powerfully moving imagery better. Had to make sure the got _Feelz_
I've been playing DCS now for 12 months after an Oculus Rift demo from a friend blew my mind, as a jet nut DCS is just THE best thing ever - it just gets better and better as you learn and explore more. Thank you ED
I've been engaged with Eagle Dynamics ever since the Lock-On days. Loved every minute of it and am truly grateful for the continued improvements, support, and dedication of the Eagle Dynamics team they have put towards this genre. I will continue to be involved until the day my life levels up to the next stage. This video and song combination has got to be one of the top 3 I've ever seen made using this simulator. Hearts and Minds, Keep up the excellent work!!
I literally just screamed like a girl when i saw that Viper. Now my wife and kids are wondering what's wrong with me. Thank you, Eagle Dynamics! Only you guys have the ability to bring out the inner child in me.
Holy jesus... Ive saved this video in a playlist, and whenever i cant get out of my head, ill watch this over and over... This soundtrack, and these planes... Damn good video.
My favorite DCS video. Gives you chills! Singing is beautiful and the aircraft are so realistic. Waited all my life to fly. This is as close as I can get. Firecracker almost took out my left eye as a kid. Put my fighter pilot dreams in the trash but hey. You guys at DCS have given all of us dreamers a chance to fulfill our dreams. Thank You from the bottom of our hearts.
Blown away by this fantastic video! Extraordinary choice of music - I like it! I‘m also looking forward to sharing 2019 with you, ED. Keep up the good work!
I wish i had a pc that can handle this much detail, but the trailer is just so well-made and so touching, especially for a history and pretty much vehicle guy, and also, the whole thing is just so thrilling. the f-16 teaser at the end really got me excited for the next year. i hope you will continue on doing what you're doing, because nothing can come even close to your exceptional simulator. thank you for everything, and thank you, ED, for putting so much time, passion and effort into what is the most realistic vehicular combat sim out there. have a great time, and happy holidays.
For all the negativity you have to deal with constantly on the forums....you've created the most amazing platform for veterans like myself, and lovers of aviation ever made. I think of my old days with MS flight sim 1...and it takes a video like this to remind me how spectacular this product is. I mean, VR with my brother (another vet) flying wing together. Absolutely spectacular. Thank you and Happy Holidays to you and the team! Get us a campaign engine like Falcon 4!!!!
DCS is the same anyway, takes your money and rewards you later, loves to tease you (New video) and fills you life with hope and passion (End of video).....now only if we could marry DCS your life would be complete (small modules running around the house in the future).
The end. AWESOME unvieling. That was Heatblur level badass! Thanks for everything, Eagle Dynamics. I love this sim. I hope this video can be viewed 10 or 15 years from now. It will be incredibly nastolgic
THAT WAS JUST BEAUTIFUL! I HAD SHIVERS! I reposted it to all my friends.... This was the best responce... "what movie is that? Looks good!" I just smiled with pride! Love you ED
Every time I show DCS to a friend, they're always impressed with the quality of graphics and simulation. This kind of video just makes me want to get in a jet and do awesome things! Awesome vid, awesome 2018, looking forward to next year!
Aviation, history, war, honor, air, freedom, lack of barriers, game, graphics, master assembly, music ... I forgot something? By far the best game footage I have ever seen! As you wrote, the heart beats harder. "Our dreams come true"
This is what it's all about - That feeling wich arise when watching this movie. The same feeling i get when i remember all my experiences with DCS and its beautiful modules. ED - I love you, and your baby DCS.
1 year ago, this video blew my mind. Even now I get goose bumps at the ending every time, and I even know its coming! This is definitely my favorite video on all of youtube. Thank you Eagle Dynamics.
This Video shows so much enthusiasm and dedication... and the content we got in 2018 and following confirms why im so in love with this Sim and the community around it... Oh whats that F16 doing there ? Wags and whole ED Team : You guys are truly Amazing !!!
I played flight sims way back in the early 90s, from Falcon to ww2 sims. And been out of the game for years ( you know getting married, having kids and getting our own home.) yep in that order lol. And in just this year I saw someone flying in that sims and it blow me away! My flight sims bug that been asleep for years work up inside me and smiled to what I’m seeing. Before this year ended. I got myself a Oculus Rift system with a new gaming computer and the wife got me some thrustmasters controllers for Christmas. Oh man is it on!!! Got my account on DCS and brought A-10a & A-10c and got a lot of learning to do. Thank you so much for all your hard work to make such a great sim. P.S. when I first put on the VR in the A-10 And fly ..... OH MY GOD! I WAS IN HEAVEN! THANK YOU 🙏
With you our dreams come true!!! You rock guys! You’re a real dream come true for any real pilots on earth. Amateurs, military or professionals. Thank you 🙏🏼
Wow, this leaves me speechless every time I watch it. It just keeps getting better. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve pressed the replay button at this point. Just stunning, absolutely stunning. What an amazing experience to be apart of, Eagle Dynamics has out done themselves yet again. Thank you for such an incredible and beautiful platform.
Thank you so much for the countless hours of fun you have given us, ED! I would really love if you guys started exporting videos without black bars (cropping them out), so I could watch this in fullscreen mode without all the black bars on my 21:9 monitor :D.
How can anyone down vote this Video?? It's beyond me how some people down vote anything even if it's great, just for the sake of down voting it, I watched it 3 times now after watching it on my first reaction was to watch it again on my Tv for my wife to see it and pointing at the Tv saying "this is why I love DCS" (when pointing at plane(s) I have)
Your entire organization is a class act. Stand up and take a bow. This standing ovation is for you. Raise your glass to 2018 and bid it a fond farewell. Strap in tight for 2019. We'll see you guys on the flight line.
I've been playing fsx ever since I was 10, I've loved it. I'm now 21 and this video just came into my recommended and WOW! I've never even heard of dcs until yesterday, now it's my goal to save up and buy a pc that will run it at high graphics! You've sold another customer
i also came from fsx and xp11 to dcs and i can only recommend it. The graphics are stunning, the cockpits are super detailled and you´ll have to spend months until you can fully master some planes and their weapon systems. Also the flight models are as realistic as it can get. The only downside is that the planes and maps are quite expensive to purchase, but in my opinion its absolutely worth it.
Awesome guys!!!! Been never ending excitement for the past 6 years i have been flying DCS models. The growth is impressive and appreciated. Keep it up and thanks Toxocara
Yup. DCS is a real beauty. All the things I dreamed of doing in the real world I can do in DCS anytime I want, how I want, and when I want. Thing of beauty is DCS and it keeps getting better all the time. When I load her up I still fall out of my chair sometimes. Bravo.
This has to be one of the greatest flight simulation videos i have seen yet. The historic flight scenes, the formation flying. The choice of music is breathtaking. The graphics, down to the tires on the missle launcher, Perfect. I have DCS and had not seen this video till today. I am in no means a combat pilot, I just love flying through the valleys and along the coast enjoying the scenery. I can't even imagine how many hours of game flying and editing went into making this video so awesome. You guys deserve best picture, for a game trailer
This has to be the best DCS video ever made, the music is perfect !!! Thanks for your dedication ED, DCS is truly something amazing, and what a year 2018 was. I´m so happy to be part of this community
DCS is not a game of skill, but is one of knowledge - the more you know about ground targets or weaknesses in enemy aircraft, the more you'll succeed. keep adding new things too learn ED
I’m still having goose bumps minutes after watching this amazing trailer and the best song ever and so masterfully combined with the in-game footage. Hats off!
Holy absolutely fucking hell...this video...with this song...is fucking AMAZING. I don't even play DCS but I'm seriously going to buy the game just to give you my money.
This video is epic. I suspect I am not alone in the sheer pleasure of watching it. I have had DCS for many years but found it challenging to get into compared to some other sims. However, the increased numbers of amazing high fidelity aircraft is truly game changing. The latest add ons are simply some of the best I have seen in simming. Supported by TH-cam tutorials, I have now started to fly more and more in DCS and the sense of achievement in successfully developing new skills, easy multi player and the sense of flying something special is great. I'm embarrassed that after 30 years of simming experience I'm only just focusing on DCS. Although it had a slow start, the recent developments in DCS, both aircraft and scenery, have made this sim an outstanding flight simulator. Congratulations on an excellent 2018 and best wishes for 2019 and beyond.
I'm just a random dude with health issues that prevent me from flying any type of aircraft in real life and DCS gave me the chance to live my dreams.
Sometimes I just spawn on the ramp in a rainy dawn. I listen to the rain falling on the canopy and start my aircraft. It's a pleasure listening to her as she comes to life. The sounds make me feel like I'm really there. And then I just fly until the sun rises :).

So then, after watching F-14's _Defend the Fleet_ promo, I SPECIFICALLY brought therm right back to that exact scene @3:00 because they would now be able to interpret & make since of the powerfully moving imagery better. Had to make sure the got _Feelz_
You guys are brilliant!!! F18 and now F16!!!! Omg this is too much, Christmas just got better.
Don't forget to mention the F-14 Tomcat ;). DCS will shine bright next year!
Hats down,
Eyes in tear,
Clap Clap,
Masterpiece
nearly 4 years later and this video still gives chills every time I watch it.
I've been playing DCS now for 12 months after an Oculus Rift demo from a friend blew my mind, as a jet nut DCS is just THE best thing ever - it just gets better and better as you learn and explore more. Thank you ED
That F-16 tease plus more Tomcat footage? Win.
Don’t have words to praise. All can give a thunderous applause!
My brain at the end: "oh here comes the Tomcat teas OH SHIT THAT'S A VIPER". Thanks for all the wonderful contend ED, I'm proud to be a DCS pilot!
I've been engaged with Eagle Dynamics ever since the Lock-On days. Loved every minute of it and am truly grateful for the continued improvements, support, and dedication of the Eagle Dynamics team they have put towards this genre. I will continue to be involved until the day my life levels up to the next stage. This video and song combination has got to be one of the top 3 I've ever seen made using this simulator. Hearts and Minds, Keep up the excellent work!!
DCS amazes me every time
I wish I can edit as smooth as this
SGTLuPolt Lmao
DCS has come a long way. One of the best videos I've seen this year.
More than a decade I've had DCS and it's predecessors as my main hobby now. I'm in for the long ride.
I literally just screamed like a girl when i saw that Viper. Now my wife and kids are wondering what's wrong with me. Thank you, Eagle Dynamics! Only you guys have the ability to bring out the inner child in me.
Maarku 👍🏻🤗 great stuff. Thank you for being a believer. Merry Christmas and happy new year. Nick
Most beautiful cinematic trailer i've ever seen, thank you for 2018 Eagel dynamics
Thank you DCS for putting out an outstanding product that has given millions, countless hours of enjoyment. You guys are the best!
Never spend so much money on a ''game''.. never regret any penny of it..
That is very sweet of you VV, many thanks indeed. Nick
No truer words hahaha
This is not a game...its a life experience!
@@Christoss007 also true words.
Holy jesus... Ive saved this video in a playlist, and whenever i cant get out of my head, ill watch this over and over... This soundtrack, and these planes... Damn good video.
what a great version of this song ! incredible footage ! incredible game! thumbs up, awesome video !
My favorite DCS video. Gives you chills! Singing is beautiful and the aircraft are so realistic. Waited all my life to fly. This is as close as I can get. Firecracker almost took out my left eye as a kid. Put my fighter pilot dreams in the trash but hey. You guys at DCS have given all of us dreamers a chance to fulfill our dreams. Thank You from the bottom of our hearts.
Blown away by this fantastic video! Extraordinary choice of music - I like it! I‘m also looking forward to sharing 2019 with you, ED. Keep up the good work!
I wish i had a pc that can handle this much detail, but the trailer is just so well-made and so touching, especially for a history and pretty much vehicle guy, and also, the whole thing is just so thrilling. the f-16 teaser at the end really got me excited for the next year. i hope you will continue on doing what you're doing, because nothing can come even close to your exceptional simulator. thank you for everything, and thank you, ED, for putting so much time, passion and effort into what is the most realistic vehicular combat sim out there. have a great time, and happy holidays.
For all the negativity you have to deal with constantly on the forums....you've created the most amazing platform for veterans like myself, and lovers of aviation ever made.
I think of my old days with MS flight sim 1...and it takes a video like this to remind me how spectacular this product is. I mean, VR with my brother (another vet) flying wing together.
Absolutely spectacular. Thank you and Happy Holidays to you and the team!
Get us a campaign engine like Falcon 4!!!!
I tend to come to youtube for help...the forums are a salt mine
@@Kimchi_Studios lol
hats off sir, you're a hero
Probably the best trailer you will see in your life
I don't need a girlfriend, DCS is good enough for me!
Or money. I can mooch off of someone I'm pretty sure. My kid only need diapers occasionally I think, right?
DCS is also less complex then a Girlfriend.
DCS is the same anyway, takes your money and rewards you later, loves to tease you (New video) and fills you life with hope and passion (End of video).....now only if we could marry DCS your life would be complete (small modules running around the house in the future).
Why have one when you can have both
@@Anirossa lol. My girlfriend got me into DCS. Having both is beyond amazing
The end. AWESOME unvieling. That was Heatblur level badass!
Thanks for everything, Eagle Dynamics. I love this sim. I hope this video can be viewed 10 or 15 years from now. It will be incredibly nastolgic
Hauntingly great vid, Best flightsim on the planet! It's my pleasure to fly and support you, supporting my past time. Together we are all DCS WORLD.
THAT WAS JUST BEAUTIFUL!
I HAD SHIVERS!
I reposted it to all my friends....
This was the best responce...
"what movie is that? Looks good!"
I just smiled with pride!
Love you ED
Thanks ED for all the fun you gave us the past two years
And I'm very excited about the f16 😍
Absolutely my favorite sim video of all time! I just want to watch it over and over! The editing and music is PERFECT!
Fantastic video! Wait....WHAT THE HELL IS THAT AIRCRAFT AT THE END.
My god is that an F-16!!!
F-16
@@DirkLarien I'd fly the shit out of a weather balloon just you watch.
@@DirkLarien Dont judge the weather balloon, for all you know it can have gbu's attached to the side of it.
DCS: Skyhook, here we come!
I watch this video before i go to bed almost every night.
God bless DCS. Thank you dev team. amazing game.
Every time I show DCS to a friend, they're always impressed with the quality of graphics and simulation. This kind of video just makes me want to get in a jet and do awesome things! Awesome vid, awesome 2018, looking forward to next year!
Aviation, history, war, honor, air, freedom, lack of barriers, game, graphics, master assembly, music ... I forgot something? By far the best game footage I have ever seen! As you wrote, the heart beats harder. "Our dreams come true"
wow...I have no Words.
I'm watching this Video over and over again
Video creator deserves a Christmas bonus! Seriously amazing
Wow that was wonderful. Thank you guy's for all these years of true fun.
The viper at the very end of the video made me cry out tears of joy..... One of my most favourite aircraft..... Feels like a dream come true!! :')
This is what it's all about - That feeling wich arise when watching this movie. The same feeling i get when i remember all my experiences with DCS and its beautiful modules.
ED - I love you, and your baby DCS.
Simply stunning. How can anyone give this video a thumbs down? The best video game trailer ever, hands down.
This has to be one of the most impressive game trailers I have ever seen. The choice of music is outstanding!
I was 16 once. I’m looking forward to being 16 again 😎
Thank you.
Damnn DCS has improved so much in the past 5 years
1 year ago, this video blew my mind. Even now I get goose bumps at the ending every time, and I even know its coming! This is definitely my favorite video on all of youtube. Thank you Eagle Dynamics.
This Video shows so much enthusiasm and dedication... and the content we got in 2018 and following confirms why im so in love with this Sim and the community around it... Oh whats that F16 doing there ? Wags and whole ED Team : You guys are truly Amazing !!!
The individual responsible for all these freaking awesome videos needs YET ANOTHER raise please. Whatever they pay you IT ISNT ENOUGH
I played flight sims way back in the early 90s, from Falcon to ww2 sims. And been out of the game for years ( you know getting married, having kids and getting our own home.) yep in that order lol. And in just this year I saw someone flying in that sims and it blow me away! My flight sims bug that been asleep for years work up inside me and smiled to what I’m seeing. Before this year ended. I got myself a Oculus Rift system with a new gaming computer and the wife got me some thrustmasters controllers for Christmas. Oh man is it on!!! Got my account on DCS and brought A-10a & A-10c and got a lot of learning to do. Thank you so much for all your hard work to make such a great sim.
P.S. when I first put on the VR in the A-10 And fly ..... OH MY GOD! I WAS IN HEAVEN!
THANK YOU 🙏
With you our dreams come true!!!
You rock guys! You’re a real dream come true for any real pilots on earth. Amateurs, military or professionals.
Thank you 🙏🏼
FLANKER 1.0 was my first game for PC WIN95 with over 200 pages manualbook in a box. I still have it!
Keep it up guys! 👍
Wow, this leaves me speechless every time I watch it. It just keeps getting better. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve pressed the replay button at this point. Just stunning, absolutely stunning. What an amazing experience to be apart of, Eagle Dynamics has out done themselves yet again. Thank you for such an incredible and beautiful platform.
Thank you so much for the countless hours of fun you have given us, ED!
I would really love if you guys started exporting videos without black bars (cropping them out), so I could watch this in fullscreen mode without all the black bars on my 21:9 monitor :D.
Lol
You put tears in a grown man's eyes with that Viper tease, I've been waiting years for this. Thank you ED
How can anyone down vote this Video?? It's beyond me how some people down vote anything even if it's great, just for the sake of down voting it, I watched it 3 times now after watching it on my first reaction was to watch it again on my Tv for my wife to see it and pointing at the Tv saying "this is why I love DCS" (when pointing at plane(s) I have)
Might have been your wife when you went to make a coffee ;)
I can explain why, if you are willing to listen.
Your entire organization is a class act. Stand up and take a bow. This standing ovation is for you. Raise your glass to 2018 and bid it a fond farewell. Strap in tight for 2019.
We'll see you guys on the flight line.
Ok this is beyond epic.
Beyond beyond!
Best DCS video ever produced. Period.
I've been playing fsx ever since I was 10, I've loved it. I'm now 21 and this video just came into my recommended and WOW! I've never even heard of dcs until yesterday, now it's my goal to save up and buy a pc that will run it at high graphics! You've sold another customer
i also came from fsx and xp11 to dcs and i can only recommend it. The graphics are stunning, the cockpits are super detailled and you´ll have to spend months until you can fully master some planes and their weapon systems. Also the flight models are as realistic as it can get. The only downside is that the planes and maps are quite expensive to purchase, but in my opinion its absolutely worth it.
@@maximilianbeyer9268 Sometimes they will do 50% off modules. They did it for Christmas last year, which does save a pretty penny.
jlcmiles i know. :) i own some modules, and bought them all on sale
Wanna do somethin' nuts?
Don't wait until you have the perfect computer. It's a free game. Join in now, and provide ATC services in multiplayer!
Dude, you wont look back. I wont spoil it for you but there is a world to discover with DCS.
The detail and realism you're building into this Sim is legendary. Great vid to showcase all your hard work. Just unbelievable!
Awesome guys!!!! Been never ending excitement for the past 6 years i have been flying DCS models. The growth is impressive and appreciated. Keep it up and thanks
Toxocara
It has been more than 12 years. Thank you for the wonderful game since Lock on. F-18C is awesome, and the F-16 is a dream come true since Open falcon.
You killed it with this video! Absolutely amazing job, well done Eagle Dynamics and the DCS community!
Yup. DCS is a real beauty. All the things I dreamed of doing in the real world I can do in DCS anytime I want, how I want, and when I want. Thing of beauty is DCS and it keeps getting better all the time. When I load her up I still fall out of my chair sometimes. Bravo.
This was almost too visceral to watch! You guys at DCS World are absolutely amazing!!!!
This has to be one of the greatest flight simulation videos i have seen yet. The historic flight scenes, the formation flying. The choice of music is breathtaking. The graphics, down to the tires on the missle launcher, Perfect. I have DCS and had not seen this video till today. I am in no means a combat pilot, I just love flying through the valleys and along the coast enjoying the scenery. I can't even imagine how many hours of game flying and editing went into making this video so awesome. You guys deserve best picture, for a game trailer
Great vid! Loved the music selection. I look forward to great things to come from the Eagle Dynamics Team!!
You are presenting our childhood dreams to us .. We are waiting for your success and wonders.
DCS looks so beautiful now, I look forward to what you will bring next year.
This has to be the best DCS video ever made, the music is perfect !!!
Thanks for your dedication ED, DCS is truly something amazing, and what a year 2018 was.
I´m so happy to be part of this community
DCS is not a game of skill, but is one of knowledge - the more you know about ground targets or weaknesses in enemy aircraft, the more you'll succeed.
keep adding new things too learn ED
I love games like this with smaller communities. You get to know people more and is so much more memorable. Thank you.
The music was epic! Thanks for a great year ED
I’m still having goose bumps minutes after watching this amazing trailer and the best song ever and so masterfully combined with the in-game footage. Hats off!
Anyone else recognize that iconic F-14b roll after launch @1:34 from TopGun? Maverick rolled like that right after he took off for the final battle.
Best DCS video I've ever seen. Nothing else even comes close. Fantastic.
Holy absolutely fucking hell...this video...with this song...is fucking AMAZING. I don't even play DCS but I'm seriously going to buy the game just to give you my money.
GOOSEBUMPS all through that video. Incredible!!!! Beautiful Song
This video is epic. I suspect I am not alone in the sheer pleasure of watching it. I have had DCS for many years but found it challenging to get into compared to some other sims. However, the increased numbers of amazing high fidelity aircraft is truly game changing. The latest add ons are simply some of the best I have seen in simming. Supported by TH-cam tutorials, I have now started to fly more and more in DCS and the sense of achievement in successfully developing new skills, easy multi player and the sense of flying something special is great. I'm embarrassed that after 30 years of simming experience I'm only just focusing on DCS. Although it had a slow start, the recent developments in DCS, both aircraft and scenery, have made this sim an outstanding flight simulator. Congratulations on an excellent 2018 and best wishes for 2019 and beyond.
Many thanks for your kind words and support. Happy New Year 2019. Yours, Nick
I love DCS World so much and hope for a great new year with you!
