Is there a specific thread on flight hardware reviews for HOTAS, audio, headsets, tracker, etc. products or do we do we just post here. Like what is the best audio setup for headsets vs. headphones and separate mic setups? Wireless over wired, etc. Or do we post these questions here?

confusing. there is this super carrier you can buy but then carriers come with some of the aircraft (probably the F-18). Then there is the maps you can buy (Las Vegas, Normandy, etc.). what is the best F-18 package to get? Etc...

I heard on youtube that there might be a difference in the aircraft that come with cliffs 3 vs the "high fidelity version of the aircraft". Is there difference in some of the versions of the aircraft - Low vs. High fidelity?

Yep - I'm the old man original flight simmer that flew all of those games. Remember Hyperlobby? LOL. doing the same exact thing. Looking into a new rig and DCS and flight hardware. Looking for support here too

I need a new monitor and either buying a new gaming PC, gaming laptop, or upgrading my old system. Either way I go, I need a new monitor. So the the question is Dual 27's, curved 34 or 43 gaming monitor? Or one monitor with a laptop gaming PC and using the display on the laptop? Are these curved monitors worth the extra money? Not concerned about cost right now. Looking at the Dell and Alienware monitors so far...

What sparked my interest? All of the youtube videos out there. I plan on purchasing and learning the F14, F15, F16, F18, A10, Huey UH1, P51, and P47, maybe the Corsair F4. I do want to add that I would eventually like to join a squadron and do carrier landings and mid air refueling. I will be a novice - new trainee in DCS but not as a combat flight simmer. I started with Falcon 4, MSCFS 1, 2, and 3, IL2, etc. and I know how to fly but will probably need training on the different aircraft and missions etc. I also will be upgrading my rig and will have separate questions. I have a Tracker IR and HOTAS butwill post in seperate threads about hardware. Looking for help in what to buy and install... For example, "what is the difference in the aircraft that come with flaming cliffs 3 vs. buying them separately?" Seems like they's different models out there of the same plane. Reviews? What to buy and why?

I'm in the same boat. I'm in the same position of being new and needing a rig upgrade. I need a new CPU, motherboard, and RAM. I have a trackerIR, x52 HOTAS and I plan on keeping GTX 750 video card but I know it will be my bottleneck. I'm looking into the Warthog HOTAS and need to look into either upgrade my current system, buy a new gaming desktop, or buy a new gaming laptop. Anyone have any suggestions?

Coming back to the flight sim world from being away for the last 5 years and will be new to DCS. Upgrading my rig and I already have trackerIR 5, HOTAS X52, etc. I left when I was pretty good with IL2 and started with Falcon 4, MSCFS I, II, and III. I'm looking to get into DCS and learn a few planes. Looking for a squadron to joint and have a ton of training questions such as: Best hardware setup to build (gaming rig vs. gaming laptop) How is Steam involved with DCS? How does everyone connect with coms? (team speak vs. in game coms) What are the planes to download and install (low and high models) I'm in Phoenix, AZ and It would be great to have a local mentor/coach to contact to help me get up to speed...

I'm in the same boat. I almost need a mentor or coach to contact about getting back into flying in this world. BTW, I signed up as a new user 4/13 and I still cannot post any messages. How do we contact the admin to allow me to post messages?
