Hey folks, I've searched a bit but couldn't find a thread for just entering DCS. ( while I'm certain it's out there, again my apologies ) I'm in the process of building a DCS specific rig and have found EXCELLENT info on that. My intention is to primarily focus on the A10C first, then the FA18C (Thrustmaster rig for both) I've taken advantage of the new year sales and purchased the following. (also searching for manuals for all). Can someone please advise where I can find the modules I've purchased? I read the manuals are there? I've attached an Excel sheet mapping out my plan to go bankrupt (LOL) While the sale is still running I'd be very grateful for any advice on additional purchases while I can use the discount. Even if I may not use the purchase for a bit (I already know the learning curve is steep) Current purchases: A10C II Tank Killer F/A 18C Hornet Super Carrier Persian Gulf Map Nevada Test & Trainings Range Map A10C Iron Flag Part 1 Campaign F/A 18 Rise of the Persian Loin Campaign Again please forgive any frustration - I know this must happen a lot.

I'm in the same boat. How is this for a good build out? Never built a PC but can learn anything. I've been following this thread. Not sure of which case yet but how am I doing so far? DCS Dedicated at this point. Who knows what other games I might try. I'd like to stay around 4K including HOTAS I'd also like to get the best VR setup possible.
