DCS: AFGHANISTAN | Pre-Order Trailer

Dear pilots, DCS: Afghanistan is now available for pre-order!

20 years of the War on Terror and the Soviet operations of the 1980s place Afghanistan as one of the most important combat theatres of the past half century. Few war zones have ever seen more A-10C, AH-64D, OH-58, F-16C, F/A-18C, CH-47F, Mi-24P, Mi-8MTV2, and Su-25 sorties than this. The entirety of Afghanistan and small portions of neighboring countries will be available, showcasing our latest map technologies.

I recognized several of the mountains and ridgelines in the first few seconds. Very impressive work!
I spent about 2400 hours flying around those mountains and ridgelines. In a Kiowa Warrior.
Strangely absent, ED.

I have to say; this looks technically next level. This is the best looking map in terrms of textures and colour I have seen from the ED side. Impressive! Hope more care is taken for optimazation than the Marianas. Look forward to hearing what people say when it comes out.

[kisschicken]

I spent a year in Afghanistan riding on the ramp of a Chinook as a gunner. Always wondered what it'd be like being the pilot.

[CueDriver]

I am actually looking forward to the logistics side of DCS.

[HamSandwich]

As an Afghanistan vet and a DCS fan, this is a dream come true! Looks absolutely authentic! I can't wait to buzz my old FOB.

[trippylummox]

I spent several years total in Afghanistan, starting in 2001 with A-10's. Seeing some of this video took me back to that place, and stirred my feelings a bit. Beautiful work gentlemen, keep at it!

[BobH]

Despite the disclaimers on the footage, that was truly awesome to see. Guys at DCS are thankfully not just into game/SIM play, they are into realism. Love it.

[Luka_]

The graphics of this game are getting out of control. Absolutely spectacular!

[prox]

Great work! I'd love to see a Germany map someday...

[ozsteve]

As someone who spent a significant portion of their operational career flying in this theatre, I am so grateful this is coming out. It's incredible how close some of the terrain relief and detail is to exactly what is forever imprinted in my memory. Can't wait for the northern half of the country to follow. Hoping that Tarin Kowt, Bastion et al are modelled as dirt strips!

[lucabloor]

Beautiful map, great shots and amazing music = perfect trailer. Can’t wait!

[elo_Racing]

As an Afghan guy, I can say it'll be freaking good but I hope tk see also places like bamyan and I hope we'll see all the regions of Afghanistan from full desert of Kandahar to the mountains of Badakhshan !

[bremeska]

DCS is probably the only game where players dont get angry at development delays, good job ED!

[louhodo]

Great job ED. Unfortunately I won't be getting it due to personal reasons, I spent to much time there IRL and don't care to go back. I hope it is successful though.

[damcopter]

I am a Chinook pilot and I can't wait any longer to fly the beast in DCS. Take my money ED

[ADHski]

Hopefully this is realistic enough to reclaim our equipment we left behind.

[bearmat]

CH-47 'Tricky' casevac missions out of Sangin. Or Pedro with the UH-60 mod. AH-1, UH-1Y development is now a must with this map.

[sneakyfloppa]

Love how they also give you small pieces of other upcoming aircaft

[jtazevedo]

Guys, I love your work!!! I'm so happy we are finally getting this map!!

[TheCloudhopper]

Soooo looking forward to Halfghanistan!
