Thanks Caster, yes just seems some the software requires a bit of fiddling, but not really an issue it seems. Many thanks for those links to your discord groups I will take that up once setup. Thank you.

Hi Castor, many thanks for the welcome and I have seen PC Specialists. Ive already received a quote from a similar outfit called "SCAN" on both the Intel and AMD option. 32Gb RAM I knew about from my research and good to see you chaps confirm that too so thats always been my benchmark. So far most of the machines Ive looked at are all 500gb SSD and the cards are all in the right bracket. As mentioned Ive already got the Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS stick and throttle unit on order. I was going into Tracker IR but paused that to check out this Denclip crowd. I want a decent setup but not bonkers over the top. Im awaiting a quote from PC Specialist

Thanks VpR81, much appreciated. Whilst not as tech savvy on the PC tech scene what I do know is that the technology moves so fast, I could wait for the new Intel CPU, and then someone will say wait for the new AMD one and so on and so on. After an extensive amount of research and watching many youtube clips It seems to me that Intel take the piss a bit on pricing, purely because of their name in the industry, bit like buying a BMW, half the damn cost is in the badge.LOL. I have already purchased the HOTAS Warthog setup with stick and throttle unit. I was just about to push the purchase button on the track IR so thanks for the heads up on that one.

Good Morning chaps, After my intro to this great forum, I figured the best place to continue my leap into DCS world would be right here and forgive me if this has been asked a million times before. Now Ive seen the DCS world top spec recommendation's for a PC setup, now whilst my knowledge in PC's and software is fairly sound Im by no means an expert, so a self build Id say is way out of my level of expertise whilst acknowledging this would be the most cost effective route to DCS world. Im based in the UK and having done a lot of research and asking questions getting quotes, its all with the various PC specialists. Whilst Im sure they know what they are talking about, Im alaso savvy enough to think they may just be sales pitching me anything that may be way over the top. AMD and Ryzen seems to be the favoured choice over Intel iCore based on what Ive researched for better value for money. I have no idea on that one. Id prefer more reputable and having found the Dell Alienware setup that appears to suit DCS I am very tempted but I would appreciate you chaps input, especially from those based here in the UK. Bottom line what should I get for ideal play in DCS. I know this requires a decent amount of cash but I dont want to bent over a barrel either. Look forward to hear from you chaps.

Good morning chaps, Its great to be amongst you ang greetings to you all. I am a complete newbie to DCS World having just started researching. Back in my younger days I loved the EA Janes combat simulators like IAF, Longbow, USAF and F/A18. I was sad to loose touch with that game as going into the army and real life just took over and else had to go back into the backseat. Glad to say life has now settled down and DCS has grabbed me like no other simulation ever has and this is just based on youtube videos!!!! Before immigrating to the UK I started Private Pilot training and had just gone solo went the move had to take place. Sadly based on the pure reality of continuing, cost wise that too had to take a back seat. Then encountering DCS world and how indepth it goes seems the perfect compromise. Ive loved military aviation since a kid and this just looks like it will keep a massive smile on my face all day long. So that being said and apologies for the ramble, I hope to get good advice from you chaps and learn so much from many of you. Firstly starting with setup. Im not an expert on PC terms and technology by any stretch of the imagination but im not completely clueless as well. Ive seen the top end specs recommended for DCS world and done a considerable amount of research on what would be the best PC setup to get. Now thats where I get bucket overload of so many companies and kit. What to go for etc. I suspect the best place to continue this chat is in the applicable subject folder of the forum so Ill cut this short. Have a Bandit Day!!!
