DCS powers at be - Is it possible to get a FCLS on one of the maps on a runway, even if it is an airfield in the farthest corner of the map. For those of us who want to properly train without crashing 20 $80 million dollar jets this is what is needed to get proficiency before going to the boat. And with the Super carrier coming this would be an even more realist progression.
Attached is pics of both field based carrier and LHD
I'm not sure about other players but for me when I'm running the sim offline I tend to have the mindset that if I crash the plane that is it for the day so I really try to keep the air frame intact. Now in Multiplayer it seems to be more of a game format then a sim, probably because there are a lot of people out there screwing around having fun so it the multiplayer takes on a different tone. I enjoy both, sometimes you want to get serious about a mission and sometimes you just need a good laugh.
All that being said DCS is and always will be the best sim ever made.
