Su-25: DCS Flaming Cliffs Flight Manual DCS WORLD [SU-25: DCS FLAMING CLIFFS] INTRODUCTION Thank you for your purchase of Su-25: DCS Flaming Cliffs. This simulation is an outgrowth of our Flaming Cliffs series that provides great graphics and flight models, yet has a more shallow learning curve than some of our other DCS titles like the A-10C, Ka-50 and P-51D. While this A-10A retains the cockpits functionality of the A-10A from the Flaming Cliffs series, it adds a very advanced flight model. Key features of the Su-25: DCS Flaming Cliffs include: Detailed and accurate 3D model and animations Six Degrees of Freedom (6DOF) capable cockpit Advanced Flight Model (AFM) Campaign and missions Su-25 skins from a wide array of squadrons "Game" modes for more relaxed gameplay Perhaps most important, as part of DCS World, the Su-25: DCS Flaming Cliffs operates in the regularly updated DCS World and is fully compatible with other DCS titles online.
