Hi Guys, Being a bear of little brain, I need the advice of veterans before spending lolly. I am a macOS based, non-techi, medically retired pilot who's unable to speak (MND). An ideal machine would not be working it's socks off, or butting against the limits of it's capacity. My target is 'buttery smooth' VR, but I get the sense 2021 may bring further innovations to the tech. With that in mind I'll use Trackir for the 'apprenticeship' and transition later.

Hi guys, I’m heartened to see such a rich diversity among the brethren. I got dragged off the flight-deck by medical retirement in 2014. While idling around YouTube I came across DCS World--'nuff said?
