Looks absolutely stunning, will open up a whole new era within DCS with some exciting mission options. Well done guys keep up the sterling work

From someone who has been a crew member on 4 different variants of the C-130 I can’t tell you how happy and excited I am for this. All I can say is thank you!

Hopefully they quickly add the "A" to the C-130

Honestly this is got to be an instant buy for me. Been playing MSFS and am loving flying the larger aircraft and would love that feeling within DCS.

It's been years I've been waiting for this kind of addon. A tanker or an AWACS in the future would be absolutely neat.

YES PLEASE! And please do more larger Aircrafts in the future

THIS IS THE MOST EXCITED I'VE EVER BEEN FOR A MODULE AND IVE BEEN PLAYING SINCE 2016

ED really need to start focusing on their dynamic campaign/ground AI/logistics/mission planning to make these new modules compelling. My AH-64 still sits in the hangar most days for the same reason. Really pleased to see Anubis' mod come so far along, hopefully the first heavy will prod ED to put a bit more polish on these neglected areas.

GUNSHIP GUNSHIP GUNSHIP There, I said it three times and now it must appear!

You've been making my childhood dreams come true for years now. Thank you!!! I've been with you guys since the first KA-50/A-10 releases and I'm proud to say, you guys have been all I've ever needed since then. I remember playing games like Jetfighter III, Janes series or the Novalogic "sims," always craving more detail. I wanted to turn on the smack lights, set the radios and have landing bay doors open and close- instead of watching the wheels just clip through the skin. It's amazing everything you guys have accomplished. Continue to make childhood dreams come true!

Ohh yess time for a cargo carrier ahaha can't wait for this

This is an absolute watershed moment in DCS history. We have the support this developer! Especially all those who are talking about the AC-130! If you want the AC you got to support this module first!

This is fantastic! I had a feeling that this was coming! It will give DCS pilots so many more options on what to do in game. DCS is a combat simulator and the C-130J can do combat, but i'd like to see more modules that aren't specifically for combat like the C-130J or the Yak-52. A C-2 Greyhound would be pretty cool too.

Day 1 mod will be turning this into an AC-130 and I will buy it just for that. I grew up on Hurlburt Field, my Dad was part of the ground crew for the Spooky in the 90's.

Can’t wait but the fact it has been almost a year and a half tells me otherwise

Coming soon!? when is soon? This year? Cant wait any longer :) Keep up the good work.

I hope this leads to the potential of bringing in strategic bombers to the game

Eagle dynamics always finds a way to surprise me

DAYUM! As someone who worked on those I'm super excited! I wonder if other variants will also be made!

You guys are on a roll again!!! Awesome!

I'll probably get this. A new approach and feel to everything else.

I can see its a work of love! The fact that its a large logistics aircraft will open up a lot of options in missions in the sense of the roles you can play! Cant wait until its in beta and fingers crossed for the AC130 😍 thanks for all the hard work lately to everyone in the industry

Still coming every day to re-watch this trailer. So darn excited!

Awesome, can't believe all the great stuff coming to DCS up the road! 😍 Truely awesome options for large scale operations!

This is gonna be so cool in multiplayer

Very very nice. Eagle Dynamics is probably the greatest gaming/sim company ever

Oh dang! Of all the heavies to add, yall start with the one I work on! Ty sm!

OMG IMPRESSIVE REALISME best models and the details in the world !

This will be a nice addition to DCS.

Imagine the AC-130 with Multiplayer Capability 🤤

This has been a wish of mine for so long! Amazing

"Airplane Simulation Company" must be one of the most unimaginable names for a sim software company. I love it.

ED wow you all are always impressing us with so much variety. Thanks for creating such a great platform that allows us all to dream and live our Fantasies thru DCS. Love you guys keep up the great work!

A surprise to be sure, but a good one

This is absolutely MASSIVE for both the DCS and Flight sim community. Well done. Long overdue! Cant freakin wait!

You just got me back into DCS!

DUDE WHAT!?

cant wait!

And so a new era begins in DCS.

Sold! Definitely out of the blue! The thought of aerial refuelling though...... 🤩

Can wait for growing sidewinder to dogfight in this thing

After 2 years flying only transport or medic missions with the Huey, Mi-8 even mi-24, this is what I was waiting for with fixed wings (Hercules or C17)... And Ch-53 as transport heli wouldn't be a bad option neither 😁. Since last two months I went to Ms Fs2020 just because I don't want use weapons right now... just logistics. (Maybe I'm getting older) I have purchased 90% of all modules and maps since I started with LOMAC on DVD as well as original Black Shark (1) before DCS migration... A10C ... I've always dreamed about flight this kind of airplanes with the astonishing flight models that we have on most airplanes here... Next step: larger and detailed maps and no reason to flight another sims. Good job ED. You have done it!

cant wait, yet again youve got it spot on

This will be one hell of a product. Congratulations to ASC and ED, may the relationship be long and prosperous!

Can I only imagine a spooky gunner variant of this to allow for some multiplayer crew scenarios. Certainly great to finally see a large aircraft being developed, really gives me high hopes for the future, amazing work!

too good to be true almost... 10 years ago and the 4 planes that dcs had at the time... crazy seeing all those new planes.

Amazing! So glad to see this coming! We love big babies :D

This is great great news for DCS in general, much needed for realistic logistics, which is the backbone of the entire warfare. I only bought a handful of modules close to their list prices, but this one will be definitely added to the stable once available. Imagine an intense low level supply mission with player controlled fighters providing cover. Can't wait. Great job ED!

Hell yeah!

I knew they'd make this module eventually

Day one purchase! I grew up on an Air Force Base and got to see and hear these aircraft on a near daily basis! Though back then it was the E and H models that I mostly saw. Can't wait to fly this!

THIS one looks very special and the beginning of a new era for larger aircraft addons for DCS. I can only imagine how this will feel in VR. Fantastic work guys!

So so glad you folks decided to give this beautiful aircraft a chance to enter DCS. Love to see DCS broadening its Aircraft inventory year in year out.

Loved the mod, this is a dream come true! Looks amazing!

Give the man who makes these an Oscar man

Finally. Thank you!

This is going to be amazing! I'd love to see more non-fighters. Maybe an F-117 or B1.

I hope more transport aircraft such as the CH-47 come to DCS.

YES YES! can't wait to play in the cockpit with my buddy!

Now this looks stunning and quite out of the blue - nice!

This will bring a whole new side of aviation to military aviation to dcs, very well done looking good

Nice to see some underdogs in the aviation world coming to dcs

Much anticipated!

Thank you ED for making this happen!

I never thought they would create a high-fidelity cargo plane! I'm beyond stoked.

HYYYYPE. Finally! This will be amazing for simulating logistics in my campaign. That said... the developer company name tho :D

About time! Bring in more logistics to attract other flight sim crowds!

I think this is absolutely stunning addition! It opens up a whole new range of possibilities within the sim.

So when is this aircraft coming out?

Sincerely, I'm a litlle bit worried about all this new planes and new developers coming to DCS. Are they gonna mantain the DCS standard, or DCS are becoming a new simulator with less obligation regarding fidelity to real aircraft behaviour?

Eagle Dynamic: Dreams come true!

YES thank you eagle dynamics

I am impressed, and super excited for this plane. I can't wait to do missions with it, and even aerial refuel if possible.

Holy crap, this looks amazing! Utterly fantastic addition to the sim with tons of potential. Multi-player missions just got waaaaaaaay more interesting, potentially.

I SAY YES JUST YES Eagle dynamics with DCS you are openning a wide new world for the military simulation

This is going to be great, I love these big fat birds. Finally a module I can be excited for again.

Its amazing how it came from just a community mod to this 😍

Good way to capture the msfs crowd. Looking forward to logistics operations.

So cool! This is going to be a great year!

Simply fantastic

This represents an interesting move for ED into the heavy lift airframes which hasn't been their bread and butter in the past. The community in recent times has shown a strong interest in this niche, and a thirst for logistics support rather than pure combat roles. It's exciting stuff. Would love to see some logistics stuff for carrier ops down the road. Certainly a refueling option for the Hercules is really going to be a fun option.

I love this and this is an instant buy, just thinking how new players are gonna absolutely demolish the runway and try to do low passes over players on ground…

Cant waittttt :D , will be a insta buy , Thank you ED

Omg … just got out of work and then this … AMAZING!!!

What is soon?

This one I'll definitlley get, provided there is a AC Variant of it :D

Looks great. Another aspiring developer. It's good to see a thriving ecosystem emerging around the DCS platform.

Passenger view was awesome!

I love the new modules that keep coming to the platform. I love DCS! However, I just have such a hard time wrapping my head around how all of these new modules are supposed to continue to function on such an old un-optimized platform. Most of us have hardware that would do exceptionally well with graphics of this caliber. However, I always have optimization issues and it under utilizes almost everything I have in my rig. Is this game going to continue to survive on such an old backbone? Im genuinely curious.

Always wanted to know how a big aircraft feels in DCS considering how good the flight model is for pretty much everything else.

So excited to see some larger aircraft

Holy Shit! looks absolutely amazing!

This is fantastic news for the sim. The C-130J will add so much depth to DCS.

YES! Any hope for mounting the Battle station and cannons? That would add so much to an already potentially great module

Wow, looks amazing, a must have.

Dude...this is gonna bring so much more versatility and depth to missions in DCS. Absolutely will be a day 1 purchase from me...so freakin stoked about it!

Wonder if this is a sign of the new ATC getting closer, can't imagine logistics gameplay without it.

The mod is absolutely fun to mess with. This will be no different. Good to see more aircraft variety coming to DCS. Hopefully more like aircraft like tankers and AWACS type aircraft will be coming in the future and allowing us to have eyes in the skies without the use of third party software like LOTAtc. My opinion the less mods/software i have to keep track of the better.

You beauty! This is amazing.

KC-135T with a player operated boom would be crazy
