Hey, UK based DCS world player here (non-VR). Last time I played DCS was in version 1.5 on a gaming laptop on low graphics settings. I'm now looking to get back into DCS with a £2,000 budget (UK) - can anyone recommend any ready-to-use desktop PCs and what sort of graphics settings they would offer? It will also be my main PC, used for Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. Alternatively, I was looking at PC specialists for a custom-built PC and this is an idea I came up with looking through this forum, does it look ok? Anything that stands out as being particularly ****? i5-12600 Asus TUF Z790 64gb RAM (Corsair Vengeance DDR5 5600mHz) Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti Many thanks in advance! It's been too long since I last hopped into an aircraft in DCS so looking forward to finally have that chance again.

Hey guys This is a historical scheme, currently worn by an airworthy Spitfire based in the UK, serial number RW382. I would appreciate it if someone could re-create it in DCS. Many thanks!

All of those skins are absolutely stunning - top quality. Just wondering, is there anything I can do to fix these on the Contrary Mary skin? Hun Hunter Texas works perfectly so I assume it's something to do with the shininess of the metal? I'm running DCS 1.5 so that might be an issue too I guess.

That's absolutely stunning!! Outstanding work!

Bump

I would be so so grateful if someone could make this skin for the F-5E in game. I think it would look amazing!

The only airworthy P-47 Thunderbolt in Europe, 'Nellie' :

Did you get around to finishing that MJ627 Canadian skin?

TF-51 'Miss Velma' as you may know suffered a partial power loss and forced landing at Flying Legends, Duxford in 2017. Since then, she was repaired and is back flying as 'Contrary Mary'. A gorgeous scheme I think you'll agree, and imo would look brilliant in DCS. I'd be very grateful if someone could bring her to DCS :)

Stephen Grey set up the Fighter Collection at Duxford, but a few years ago retired from airshow display flying. Nick Grey is his son and regularly flies at Duxford airshows, which I certainly recommend on attending :)

I don't have the best rig but I could play 1.5 nicely and it looked great. Now this update has made it impossible for me to play, although I am keeping my hopes up that they will optimise it and make it playable for me.

I feel like this is a bug - I noticed that with the AV-8B and Mirage 2000C by RAZBAM, that the keyboard control for the elevator is different to modules by any other party. With these two RAZBAM aircraft, If you use the up/down arrow for the elevator, you have to hold them, otherwise the stick goes back to the centre. In any other modules, you can just press the up/down arrow and it's almost like trimming the aircraft, as the elevator then stays in that position. Before you ask - when I'm travelling it means I don't have access to my setup and use the keyboard and mouse only on my laptop.

I found this interesting post on another thread which imo sums up the Draken 'superstall':

At 2:10 it does a cobra and barrel roll, absolutely amazing for a design from the 50's! :O It makes me really want to fly it in DCS.

I've just started playing DCS and had money in my hand to buy new modules, but a quick google search showed me ED do a Christmas sale around this time so I patiently waited a few days because I knew it was coming.
