Aircraft modules
The DCS aircraft modules can be separated into four main categories: full-sim jets, helicopters, and prop planes — all of which feature clicky cockpits and advanced systems simulation — and the Flaming Cliffs 3 aircraft, which are simplified, hotkey-driven sims that have been grandfathered in and inherited from Eagle Dynamics' older Lock On: Modern Air Combat simulator.
The freebies
These come included with the free DCS World client
- Su-25T “Frogfoot” — an FC3-style simplified simulation of the modernised (and never deployed) Frogfoot.
- P-51D Mustang — a full simulation of the of a two-seater training variant of the P-51 Mustang
The jets
- A-10C Warthog — the poster child DCS module, for all your BRRRRRT needs.
- AJS-37 Viggen — a Swedish supersonic nap-of-the-earth anti-shipping jet? Gör't (men som beta)!
- AV-8B NA Harrier — can't decide whether you want a plane or a helicopter? Why choose when you can just go VTOL? (beta)
- C-101EB and CC Aviojet — Spanish airforce jet trainers and aerobatics aircraft (largely defunct early access)
- F/A-18C Hornet — for all your carrier-based multi-role needs (very early access).
- F-5E-3 Tiger II — a simple and lightweight daytime jet fighter and trainer.
- F-86F Sabre — a venerable Korean-war era early jet fighter.
- Hawk T.1A — RAF jet trainer and aerobatics aircraft (largely defunct early access)
- L-39C and ZA Albatross — two-seater (and MP multicrew) Czech training aircraft.
- Mirage M-2000C — “La baguette”, a French supersonic lightweight multirole aircraft (beta).
- MiG-15bis — NATO designation “Fagot”, the main adversary of the F-86 Sabre.
- MiG-21bis — NATO designation “Fishbed”, the world's most common fighter jet, and after all, what's not to love about a supersonic maze of switches with nuclear capabilities?
The sharks helos
- Ka-50 Black Shark 2 — the oldest and, alongside the A-10, the most iconic of DCS modules, and the similarities with the A-10 do not end there.
- Mi-8MTV2 Magnificent Eight — one of the most common helicopters in the world, and the base chassis of the Mi-17 “Hip”.
- SA342L, M and Mistral Gazelle — anti-infantry, anti-tank, and anti-air versions of one of the fastest helicopters ever.
- UH-1H Huey — get your Vietnam on, and then crash due to a burned-out engine.
The props
- Bf-109 K-4 Kurfürst — late-war version of the classic 109.
- Fw-190 D-9 Dora — not as iconic as the 109, but still a cornerstone of the
- P-51D Mustang — I guess the yanks need to feel like they contributed too…
- Spitfire L.F. Mk IX — fly a legend. Then try to land it. Good luck.
The Flaming Cliffs
- A-10A Warthog — for all your simplified BRRRRRT needs.
- F-15C Eagle — everyone loves the SPAMRAAM and now you can too.
- MiG-29A ”Fulcrum A” and MiG-29S “Fulcrum C” — a Russian classic. Remember to check your fuel level.
- Su-25 “Frogfoot” — another classic, built on the principle of, why fire one rocket, when you can fire a bajillion rockets?
- Su-27 “Flanker B” — get back at the SPAMRAAMers by doing the same, only without being detected.
- Su-33 “Flanker D” — dito, but now do it from a carrier.
