We recently learned that Eagle Dynamics was working on a new and exciting project called 'Modern Air Combat' designed to appeal to a wider audience of flight simmers. So I contacted Matt Wagner, Eagle Dynamics' Senior Producer, to find out more... PC Pilot: Hi Matt, thanks for taking time out of your very busy schedule to take part in this interview. May I start by asking what is the main concept and objective behind Modern Air Combat (MAC)? Matt Wagner: MAC offers the most realistic systems and flight dynamics but with a technically easy approach. From start-up to weapons launch, procedures and interfaces have been simplified and standardized to take pilots straight to the action while still giving them a sense of purpose and accomplishment as they steadily deepen their knowledge. DCS 'pro' modules focus on authenticity and full fidelity, MAC is more about the combat, competition and gaming fun while offering ease of access to the most sophisticated combat simulator available today. It's a true stepping stone for those who feel the need to grow out of the arcade games and into something real, with all the excitement and fun but without the steep learning curve. Fly 14 aircraft ranging from the Korean War era to modern day, and it includes such aircraft as the F-86F Sabre and MiG-15bis, A-10A Warthog and Su-25, F-15C Eagle and Su-27 Flanker, and many more. The product also includes the large Caucasus map and several smaller maps around Nevada and the Persian Gulf.
