Ah okay, like that! ;) Thanks

I appreciate every f word of your mouth! You are a true French Gentleman, sir! :thumbup: One thing I'm confused by though: What does it mean that This version is not compatible with Steam? Does it also mean, Im not able to play it with Steam VR? There is probably a way around, right?

Thanks for the advice, yeah, we have a similar setup, and I think I just start with trying out the Free Planes for a starter, and see how that handles, with and without VR, before I even think of upgrading. But it feels good, with a confirmation, that it will at least run ;) My setup is fine: and yes, I also got a set of rudder Seiteks ;) Guess my only concern is my patience (tbh, though I just could jump in F-16 and do the ingame tuts, and after a couple of months be fine). Think I take Agg advice and try the F-5E, just to get my feet wet, else I probably die of boredom :megalol::megalol: But thanks for the contribution, to everyone!

Wow, So 4 Word Pages later, I got it handed down like this: Thanks a lot for your huge effort Demongornot! I know it may be a copy/paste, as I'm definitely not the first one, exited, to start up with DCS after have seen some awesome plain or YT video ^^ But yeah, there is definitely no easy way around. I think I will combine that with a handfull of youtube Videos, as I have never realy been a very bookwormish person, and learn best through pictures and How To, videoes. But it has definitely given me a lot of tips for what to search for and a good approach! ;) Thanks! ;)

Thanks a lot ;) I'll definitely consider that. I Have been following along a bit at Matt Wagners videoes and he got pretty similar spec setup (at least in the beginning).

Hi Pilots :pilotfly: I'm considering giving DCS a chance, with this new awesome F16 plane coming up. I feel so lucky I got to sit in a real machine around a year ago, I thought the least I could do, was to try and get this bird up in the air virtually :joystick::helpsmilie: 1. Any tips for getting a good start? :book: Before the release? Or should I just hope for some good in-game introductions? Tbh, I'm pretty much a rookie regarding controls and understanding the plane mechanics, So I imagine, I would probably sit the first few weeks in the control options, trying to figure out what does what and to which buttons I should bind the different options (And hopefully not lose to my impatience :doh: ) 2. Considering the current VR Status, and perhaps the latest VR optimizations, how likely would you mean I would need a spec upgrade for my 3 year old machine? Current Spec: i7-6700k, GTX 1080, 32GB Ram, SSD, TM Warthog, Standard HTC Vive 3. Optional: Which map should I go for as a good starting map? Considering some of them are like - 50% atm with the summer sale

Any of you already own a VR headset? I personally own an HTC Vive Do you happen to know if there are any flight games so far, that YOU had some good experience with? Which you can recommend? TBH I haven't jumped into DCS with VR yet, as I want it to be a flawless experience. Therefore I'm excited about the better resolution Vive Pro. But I currently only own a GTX1080, so maybe I even would have to upgrade to a better GPU, to be able to take advantage of upcoming better resolution optics. My personal best experience so far, is VR with Elite Dangerous. But are there other titles out there which you (guess very picky and quality demanding users) have tried and can recommend?

I have a simple question Does the Flaming Clifs 3 addon on steam for DCS World, support HTC Vive? Cuz I only see the Vive icon over the main game DCS World, but not for the add ons. And don't want to spend the money, to get disapointed ^^

Nice thanks Buzzles!
