CELEBRATING 15 YEARS OF DCS! 

DCS saved me from a dark pit I found myself in, something to immerse in during the evenings and nights. Thank you ED, for helping this avgeek rediscover themselves!

Thank you, ED, for making this fantastic world that I can't stop playing..

Y’all are the reason I’m so into aviation! I’ll be here till the end

Congratulations on making a great sim, an outstanding community, and here's to another decade and a half of excellence!

Here's to another 15 years!

Congratulations! If someone had showed me this trailer when I was a kid (playing aces over europe and fleet defender), I would have been in complete shock. All my life I’ve been searching for the ultimate flight sim, the closest to the real thing, and DCS gave me not only that, but the opportunity to build and tell stories that had only existed in books I’ve read with great admiration. Here’s to another 15 years of dreams coming true!

From Flanker 2.0 to LO-MAC to DCS:A-10C to the DCS: World we have today, it's been a heck of a ride.

Brought me slight tears in my eyes :') . DCS is really one the best if not the best piece of software I ever discovered in the internet. It delivers everything I ever wished for in a fligth simulator and the development is nothing short of incredible. I will stay here till the end and I'm looking forward to the future of DCS. Thank you for developing such a software with that amount of dedication!!!

Поздравляю !!! И спасибо вам за вашу магию!!! Спасибо Екатерина (директор) за вашу не лёгкую работу, спасибо Андрей "Чиж"(продюсер) за веру в свое дело, спасибо Саше Подвойскому за крутые вертолеты, спасибо Виталию (тестер) за рутинную работу, спасибо Александру за самолёты ВМВ. ПОЗДРАВЛЯЮ ВАС НАШИ ДОРОГИЕ И СПАСИБО ВАМ, ЧТО ВЫ ЕСТЬ!!!

Thank you ED for making our dreams come true! :)

Congratulations to the entire Eagle Dynamic Team!!! As a relatively new member to the community and owner of a handful of modules, campaigns, terrains....I'm truly excited about reaching the point where I am able tobegin flying DCS. Although Ihave mutliple ratings/certifications as general Aviation pilot of more than 30 years....DCS still remains what I yearn to learn. If the need for voice overs ever arise, I would be happy to submit dialog in different tenors, cadence and in the "spirit" of the moment required. Being in a local band they played local gigs would usually disqualify me from the start but I also had my own live radio program for nearly 3 years in the past....have recorded commercials.... advertisements...Oh, with the band, we did cut a short album in Michael McDonald's studio near Nashville, TN and played a weekend gig at the historic Whisky A Go-GO on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood a few summers ago.... ps. If ever need a female Russian speaking voice actor or male actor my wife and my step-son (27yrs old) are both born and raised in the former USSR, lived in Minsk, Belarus...where my mother-in -law still resides....She performed with the Belarussian national Theatre Company both in the orchestra and vocalist....She was on State TV (can't remember the name) often when she was part of the company... CONGRATS AGAIN AND GOD BLESS!!!

Every time with these cinematics I get goosebumps

Thank YOU, ED, for making this. I failed the tests to become a real pilot back in the 90s, due to my eyes. I discovered DCS last year and it feels like i am able to finally live the dream. I have no words to say how grateful i am.

After 7 years and 3600 flight hours in DCS can legitimately confirm that DCS is THE best. 15 years ago aviation enthusiasts could only read books about aviation, see stationary planes in Flight museums or on rare occasions visit Flight show. Now we can fly those planes ourselves.

I have been here since Flanker 1 and am very thankful for the hard work by ED and the community. Lots of work to still do and I hope that it never ends!

Это вам спасибо, ребят! Лучший симулятор!

I remember how excited I was for the A-10 back before release. There was one video I remember watching over and over where there were two A-10’s flying low past the camera and they shot mavericks at a column in the road, flying over it and popping flares. I watched that over and over and couldn’t wait. I remember thinking of how awesome it would be to be able to fly an Apache over that awesome terrain.. and many years later, here we are! I have been able to come close to doing what I’ve always wanted through DCS, flying in VR. I can’t wait to see what you have for us in the future!

You guy's are truely awesome, and some of the rare development teams (these days) who actually care about their community, best of luck to you guy's and to 15 more awesome years of dcs!!

Dammit this sim is amazing. Completely transformed my spare time in the past couple of years, and I love you for it. Please keep on being awesome. ❤🇬🇧

Thank you everyone at Eagle dynamics for your hard work and dedication, here’s to the next 15 years 🍻

Congrats on 15 years ED. Been playing since LOMAC. Its quite amazing what this has grown into. Can't wait for Vulkan.

The new rain effect in the Hornet is very beautiful.

these trailers/cine clips never cease to amaze me 🤣 Congratulations on 15 yrs!

Started as a grade schooler with LOMAC. DCS is one of the few games that I truly believe has unlimited replayability. If I get tired of flying Apaches, then I can immerse myself in carrier ops, or WWII, or get into the weeds of the A-10C IIs systems. And since you kinda have to knock off the rust and relearn a module every time you transition, it's truly unlimited replayability.

I still remember when it was called Lock-on. Thank you for all these years !

Thank you, Eagle Dynamics. You’ve allowed me to live out my dream and still have a wife, family, and stable job. It is an absolute pleasure to purchase and fly your art.

The growth in quality over the last 15 years is astonishing. Thanks to everyone involved, the results are truly impressive. Bought LOMAC and have been hooked since then. When Black Shark first came out it was initially only available in russia, I was so keen to fly it I bought a money transfer card so that I could convert my pounds into rubles to buy the license, and went through the whole online transaction not being able to understand a word - did it at work because the dial up at home was so bad! Things have gotten a lot easier since then.

Thank you, all People working on DCS for making OUR Dream come true.😊

From a ex Fulcrum pilot , a big THANK YOU for the dedication and the amazing results. Making me feel like the old times once more when flying the old gals !!! Way to go ED way to go ! Would love some full fid FC3 transformations in the future :) We all LOVE you guys !!!!

DCS is like a world to escape in, it truly has been the right game for me and I can not stop playing it, thank you for making this world for us!

i remember the days where my dad bought me a copy of Lock On in a local store...still have it...a very long journey till today...thank you ED for DCS World!

Thank you ED, Thank you to all developers! Thinking it can not get better, you do it. I wish you all the best, stay healthy. I am looking for new stuff to come. Greetings Thomas

Felt a tear at the sight of the old Flanker from SSI, had a demo of it on my first ever computer and it was my first contact with flight sims...Then LOMAC and all the steps along the way...Thank you ED for bringing us together, and thank you to this wonderful worldwide community, from the developers that took it upon themselves to craft whole full-fidelity modules with tiny teams to the guys that take 2 minutes to give a helpful tip to the noobs (or guys like me who get the time to enjoy this sim once every few months). Here's to another 15 years and then more!

Ever since I started playing I haven’t been able to stop, it has helped make my dream of flying the F-14 reality, in a way that I never could’ve dreamed of before. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication!

Happy anniversary. On to the next 15 years!! 🤟

Never play the simulation because i dont have a good computer for the job. But every day i watch the new videos from Growling Sidewinder and LongShot. DCS is the best.

This made me cry. Really brought back memories of when my father bought me my first copy of Flanker when I was a child. Thank you Eagle Dynamics for always being there. For creating an escape from the problems of everyday life.

I was hooked when i flew the A10 in Lock On, in 2003, 20 years ago. Its been a great ride, thanks Eagle Dynamics.

I'm so thankful this game exists. I'm a complete aerospace nerd and slowly learning all the different systems of the F-16 has been some of the most fun I've had playing games in ages.

Thank you ED, DCS has done so much for me, a hobby, friends, my favourite pastime and so much more. 🎉🎉

Been here since 2009... Proud to still be here! Thank you ED

DCS is the most immersive sim ive ever played. It has changed my life and made me rediscover my love for fighter jets. Im so stoaked for the future and what will come to the sime. DCS for life!!! Thank you for making the greatest sim ever!

One half of why I love DCS is all about the gameplay, visuals, and immersion. The other half? Videos like these. Thanks!

Thanks to all ! Since Flanker 2.0 what a ride ! It helped me to pass trough COVID without mental illness , great medicine ! I'm 64.

I'm 16 old students in korea. My dream for the rest of my life is become a pilot some day. So i already buy every modules in DCS without f-86, finally i got him. DCS is the best game ever!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for all people who made DCS Thank you, ED. I mean it !!!!!

I've been there from the original blackshark CD and have loved the journey so far! It's mind blowing how far things have come and I can't wait to see where they go. This game goes from strength to strength.

Been playing this sim since the 1995 Su-27 Flanker game was first released. Its a love hate relationship and I remember chatting with Norm and Matt on the Combatsim forums (amongst others) and how things were being hashed out for a 'flight sim OS' of sorts. Long, long time ago and way different times. Congrats to the ED team on the 15 years+

Happy 15 years Dcs ! The best of the best . Making dreams come true .

Thank you ED and happy birthday ! Been here since Flamming Cliff 2 ! it’s been an amazing ride, and i look forward to seing what you have in the pipes for the years to come !

It’s been my dream since about 1975 to fly the F-4 Phantom, F-14, A-4, F-5, A-7, and so many others. Thanks for bringing that dream to such a great simulation. And in VR, is beyond my dream.

Started my adventure with you, on Lock on. What a journey we accomplished together. Thank you each and every person involved at ED, or third party developer. YOU make our dreams come true. We own you big time. Thank you. You are the best !!

I am not play with DCS, but i love all simulators. GG for the 15 years!

Hey Eagle Dynamic, congrats to 15th years, I want to thank you to all who are involved and to the Company, respect for your passion and work. I know, it is also a business, we all work for money, but you ED don't do it only for money, it is in your blood and your heart is on the right side. I will support you guys forever, I would even pay monthly subscription (like Star Citize has) to make sure, you will be able to continue. I was in the wrong time and place, so I was not able to become a pilot, but because of you ED guys, I can taste how it is, to be a pilot, to be more specific, TOMCAT PILOT... big thanks to HeatBlur, you guys did a job I can't describe, and @Reflected, your 3 Tomcat Campaign are all I ever needed to be trained like F-14 Pilot. You are such wonderful spirits. Thank you ;) from Switzerland

Yea it's Nick again, we need more Nick in our lives.

Thank you for all the hops so far, many more are to come. As are the hours by the CAD, cursing over the 3D-printer, shrieks of pain when the soldering tip slips... and the cries of joy when the cockpit does what it should - stay in the background as the clouds disappear below and all that exists is blue sky and you. 💙💙💙

It's kind of crazy and that War Thunder looks today like DCS was about 10 years ago. Not trying to knock on WT for each game/simulator there is their own. (I used to spend a ton of time playing WT) It's just crazy how far the DCS have gone! Well done ED! Thank you!

I know I'm late...VERY late but this game has just been fueling my passion to become a pilot so when I make it I'm definitely gonna base a lot of my initial interest in you guys!❤Keep doing what you're doing!

I didn't know about DCS until 2023, but I'd like to be a fan of yours for decades to come ! ! !

Thanks ED for the memories, been with y’all 13 years 🎉.

Thank you ED for creating the sim I always dreamed about growing up! I recently built my first ever custom built pc just so I could play again after not being able to for 2 years and I couldn’t be happier! I’m looking forward to see where the next 15 years takes us.

I got goosebumps when I heard Digital Combat Simulator, you feel the meaning, the passion to deliver, the love for this platform. 2023 is great year for DCS.... TONIGHT I raise the glass to you! Virtual Pilots and creators, devs and passionate community! Cheers 🍻 👏 ✌️ 🥂

Thank you for sticking through a niche market. When most others bailed on flighsims because of the small market ED was there. I had given up in the 90s but ED brought me back. Your attention to detail and trying to simulate everything as close as you can go real world is amazing. Like many as a teenager I dreamt about being a fighter pilot and this is as close as I could get. I get excited for my fly time every day. Again thanks for your passion

Every time I jump into the virtual cockpit of my favourite modules I feel like the wide eyed 10 year old staring in awe at the RAAF fighter roaring overhead. Thank you ED, you guys have made my wildest dreams come true.

Thank me for the years of support since 2008. Do it right NOW.

Thank you Eagle dynamics, thank you for i spiring me to be the pilot i am today

I just got DCS. All I have to say is wow. Thanks Eagle Dynamics!

Today I found out that Eagle Dynamics made the original Su-27 game. That thing was my favorite!

I remember playing a pre release of black shark at Birmingham NEC, you're telling me that was 15 years ago?! I remember describing the vision for DCS. it's come true in a beautiful way

I've been in this Journey since my Lo:Mac days. Thank you for everything you've done and surely looking forward for the future.

Just figured out about this game 2 years ago. Honestly can’t describe the experience of seeing it develop even on that short time. Can’t wait for the next 15 years!

I went back from helis to jets, man, the F-15 is so much fun. Here to the next 15 years 🥂 No other flight simulator gives so much thrillimg action that DCS gives to the community

Thank you for allowing me to fly my favorite fighter myself. 🛩

The 4 that I've been a part of are great. I joined in 2019 and was shocked to hear that DCS has been around since about 2008/9. The best simulator I have ever experienced by far. Ever since Jane's F-15 I've been looking for a great combat flight sim, but they just went away. I'm looking forward to the final product and be a veteran of DCS like some of you old heads are.

Best simulator ever! Thank-you Eagle dynamics! Yall are the real ones!

Nice to see "SU-27 Flanker" from Flying Legends / Eagle Dynamics at 0:40. 1995... It's still running on my DOSBox. I sometimes fire it up for the nostalgia. ❤ When I first run DCS, I was amazed that the Su-25 had pretty much the same keyboard mapping as the Su-27 back then in 1995. You know, it's just a detail, but I noticed that and I felt like home.

Hey guys, congratulations on your anniversary! I’ve been flying with you guys since the original Flanker, so must be something like 28 years. Flew it all through flight training, really made learning in the real world like second nature. Now I’m driving the big jets around, and I like to think DCS played a large part in that. Still come home to fly the sim on my days off. But enough about me, you guys are literally the best at what you do. Keep up the amazing work, keep pushing those boundaries, and I’ll keep buying every single thing you create! Here’s to another 15 (or 28) years!

i only have 3 modules.. but im proud to be a part of this incredible community!

This game has single-handedly changed my life. Before I discovered DCS, I knew nothing about aviation or the military, but I downloaded the game and gave it a shot. Needless to say, I am now persuring a carrier as a pilot and looking to serve in the US Army or Air Force for a few years. My gratitude torwards the Eagle Dynamics team can not be overstated. Your team gave a kid who had no direction in life a path to personal glory. Thank you for that and for the many years to come!

Been streaming DCS for about 3 years now. Built a great little community of mates, and still going strong. Keep making the magic happen ED.

I have been a fan and customer of Eagle Dynamics for more than 15 years. Here's to another 15, Cheers!

I'm an instructor of DCS World for Turkish users. I made a "DCS World F-16 Kullanımı (Türkçe)" [DCS World How to Use F-16 (Turkish)] video in pandemia days. It was the first F-16 tutorial video in Turkish. You know we, Turks, are the major user of F-16. So, video were watched by lots of Turkish people and Turkish players increased after 2020. I didn't do it for myself. I did for DCS World. I hope this great game lasts for many long years.

What a journey. I remember when I got DCS Black Shark twelve years ago. And now we`re here. Back then I thought, "Well, that`s it probably." Sort of a one hit wonder. Then came DCS A-10. And all of a sudden, DCS World was around the corner. Beyond incredible. Literally a dream coming true. Because back in the day, when I was playing Black Shark, I often thought about how absolutely amazing it would be, having something like we have now. Not in my wildest dreams. But here we are. And they`re not finished here. They`re actually just getting started. Eagle Dynamics, I hope you understand, first of all, what an incredible platform you managed to create and, secondly, how much we as the consumer, value this. Especially your attention to detail. Please keep that up. It`s time that you pat yourselves on the back for once. Hats off to you.

Thank you ED for allowing me to live out my WWII dreams. ❤

Nice nod to the OG flanker and also 2.5....best sim period... Such an amazing journey.... Cheers ED!

Thanks ED you guys have inspired me on joining the Air force just by playing this game. So thank you so much because I now have a career path that I am happy about.

Thank you Eagle for making the best simulator in the world and thank you to giving me a dream TO FLY

Thank you for helping me feel again after everything felt numb to me at a certain time in life 💙

I have to say you guys rock , I’ve loved learning the different a/ c, my computer broke so I have to wait to be able to get a new one, and I can’t wait to get in the air again. Thanks for all you do!

Congrats for the 15 years! I always wish for the games success! I don't play DCS, mainly as i don't own a flight stick. (I know it's not necessary but I still think I should get one first.) But it is still my dream to play it properly one day! This however, gave me goosebumps! The cinematic and everything was so cool, that it makes me want to play now! There's so many aircrafts i dream to fly, and the one that I will forever love, I'm still waiting on. Can't wait for the F-4 Phantom II to come in! I'll get that no matter what! lol

ED should be the template for game developers, independent and otherwise. You guys have had your triumphs and your missteps, but one thing has been consistent for as long as I've played and supported; You guys have taken every victory and loss with humility, and have always made sure we as a community know that you appreciate us. I don't always have time to play, but I will always support ED and DCS. Thank you guys.

I picked up KA-50: Blackshark on boxed DVD at Best Buy for $20 waaay back then. It was everything I wanted in a combat sim. Bought the A-10c standalone when they released it, bought the warthog hotas, and it's been off to the races ever since. Thank you, E-D, for making flight sims fantastic again, and please work more diligently at completing the various modules still needing finished. :D

On board for the ride since lomac! I was still a kid back then and i took me along time to fly the flanker. Now I’m over 30 and can’t believe how far we went since then!

Hands down the best, nost detailed flight simulator out there! Thr only thing its missing as a dynamic campaign

Nice! Thank you for bringing this great sim to our homes! :)

Thank you ED for your hard work, countless hours, programming skills and patience when something doesn't work. In the end you have accomplished a work that is second to none. I have already invested a lot and will continue to do so. Keep it up and take care of yourselves. Thanks again. Without you, heaven would be empty. cheers

ED, you guys make OUR dreams come true! Onwards and upwards; strength and honor!

Congrats ED on 15 years 👊🏼🫡🎉🥳 I’ve been with you almost from the start with the Lock on products Black shark & Warthog. Love ya work. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃

Congratulations, what a fantastic journey!

I think I enjoy watching DCS more than I enjoy playing DCS 😊 (only because I'm better at watching than playing!). Fantastic sim, keep it up ED. 👍🏽

Gosh, that voice makes me want to drink the Kool Aid. I dream of a day your community representatives aligned with your passions 🤞
