Digital Combat Simulator World is completely free for a month

When you think about the realistic simulator of modern battles, you think about Digital Combat Simulator World(DCS World). In the history of simulations and video games, there has never been such an authentic and realistic simulation of military aircraft, tanks, ground vehicles and ships, from World War II to the present day.

The core game has always been free to play, and it includes TF-51 Mustang and Su-25T attack jet, highly detailed map of the Caucasus region that includes southwestern Russia and Georgia, and 156 free and fully operational weapons systems, 105 ground vehicles, 19 ships and 84 AI-controlled aircraft.

"So, what's the 'completely free' part then?" you might ask. Well, around 2000 euros of additional content, since that's the full price of all additional maps, aircraft, campaigns, and other stuff. As you can see, it is highly expensive, but anyone who played it says that it is absolutely worth it if you have the money for it, since there has never been an experience like this one.

It is, without a doubt, the most authentic simulation of the A-10C Warthog, F/A-18C Hornet, UH-1H Huey, F-86F Sabre, Spitfire, and many other legendary aircraft. For example, the price just for the F/A-18C Hornet is $80, so now you see from where the big prise is coming from.

"After you fly a plane in DCS you feel like you could jump right into the real thing and fly it. The level of detail is extraordinary, the graphics are beautiful, the combat is exhilarating. With that said, the game is what is is, a simulator. It's not cheap, you'll buy a HOTAS, trackIR or VR, as well as planes; It's not easy and it doesn't hold your hand, you have to LEARN to play it," says Steam user Ozadu in his review of the game.

But all those expensive additions don't need to worry you now, because the game is completely free to play for a full month! From 19 April do 19 May, every map, aircraft, missions and other pieces of content added to the game will be free. And if you ever decide to actually by some maps or aircraft, the will be on 50% discount during this period.

It is absolutely not a game for anyone, it requires a high-end PC, VR if you want that kind of experience, and a lot of money to buy aircraft, but for people who can afford it, and are into this kind of experiences, this is definitely the best they can get on the market. Besides official content created by developers, the game also has a powerful editor, which in combination with its beautiful and detailed engine allows players to create some breathtaking landscapes and even full campaigns.
