Thank you for your reply. Do I download the open beta version then ? Is open beta an up to date version with bug fixes etc....

Hello, I was wondering if there was a difference between the DCS steam edition and DCS 2.5 on the DCS website? Where is the best place to download DCS from? I am just starting back up simming so sorry for the newbie questions.

Interesting read. Think I’m going to Opt for a Rift S. I’m just starting back up after a 10 year break.

Not just the PC alone, I got a 28 inch 4K gaming Monitor and a pair of HD speakers with Subwoofer too. I also got 3 Year Platinum Warranty (3 Year Collect & Return, 3 Year Parts, 3 Year labour) unfortunately I don’t know anyone who builds PCs and I didn’t trust myself to do it

It cost me £3,000. A little over my budget but I am hoping it will be worth it !

Hi guys, I took on board all your advice and this is what I’ve opted for. I cant wait to get started now !!

Hi Guys, This is the platform I am looking at buying but it isn’t Bluetooth compatible, Will this be a problem if I was trying play in VR. How are VR headsets linked up to the tower is it via Bluetooth ? Would this spec PC get your guys approval for DCS ?

I am going to use the PC for flight Sims only, my intentions are to have DCS and Flight sim 2020, so opting for the 9600k might be a good should to save me abit or money. Thanks again guys

Thank you for the Advice Wolf 333 a lot to think about and to take into consideration.

Thanks for taking the time to pass on your recommendations. I really appreciate it

Hi SvSmokey and thanks for your reply, I will not be building my own PC, I am looking at a company to build it for me. I know this is going to be more expensive, which is why I asked if anyone knew any good websites. I will be buying the PC to run DCS in VR and Microsoft Flight Sim 2020. I do not plan to install any other games on the PC. It will be for flight simming only.

Hi Guys, after being out the virtual flight sim loop for a good 10 years, I feel now is the right time to return after seeing how amazing DCS looks ????. Back in the day I was a keen flyer on Falcon 4.0 and Lock On Modern Air Combat. I was wondering what type of PC, Monitors, VR and HOTAS you use. I currently have a budget of around £3,000. I want to play in VR and with high graphics, would this be possible on my budget ? Is there any websites you can recommend for the hardware mentioned above? I live in the U.K. so websites will have to ship there. Many thanks for your help and advice
