Yeah, both Arma 3 and DCS World have commercial versions of their simulators for the armies to train on.

- stackghost 2y agoI can't speak for Arma but DCS isn't even close to accurate enough to count as a qualified simulator. It's a nice toy, but still a toy.
- izacus 2y agoIt doesn't really change the fact that quite a few militaries license "MCS", the military version of the simulator for training purposes (and it probably funds DCS development as a side project). You could even see it now in photos with Ukranian pilots, most likely for F-16 cockpit familiarization. Remember that pilots spend quite a bit of time practicing on printed out posters of cockpits and DCS is quite better than that ;)
- titaniumtown 2y agoSource? I've never heard of either having such a version.
- nic547 2y agoFor Arma it's VBS, but the games company (Bohemia Interactive) and the simulator company (Bohemia Interactive Simulations) have been seperate for quite some time, so VBS is based on older Arma titles. IIRC the PLA actually used modded Arma 3 for training.
