PC Gamer, referencing the F-14 module, remarked that it may involve 'requiring familiarize yourself with the actual manuals used to fly the actual planes in order to play'. The modularity of the game also attracts third-party developers, furthering DCS's content and popularity.ĭCS World is widely known as a 'study sim' - players must take care to learn how to operate the aircraft just as a real pilot would. It also allows all development to be done on a single platform.
This allows users to join multiplayer servers without purchasing every vehicle available and to quickly switch aircraft. DCS World acts as a unified platform supporting 'modules' (made by either Eagle Dynamics or a third party) to avoid large numbers of individual game releases.
