Hey all. Been a regular visitor for a few years, recently retired pro rifleman, 2001 until Nov last year, I can finally put the hours into DCS. Took a lot of the guides with me over the years, started with a copy of LOMAC but haven’t had the time until now. This isn’t an acceptance speech so I won’t rattle off a list of names but the community and the content creators here have made getting set up to fly amazingly easy. I will say thanks to Chuck for his guides though, required reading in my opinion. Starting off in FC3 for familiarity then will probably progress through the F5E, I also have the super carrier and some navy birds with a view to enjoying some WW2 campaigns as I get my feet. Viacom pro and HeatBlur have made this sim even more appealing to me. Also I plan on flying this with my son so I can RIO him as he gets more familiar as well. He’s had the fortune to have a grandad and our neighbour introduce him to flying from 10 years old so I think the bug has bitten him and I’d prefer he look forward to that as a career choice over mine. So does the bride, ha! This sim has progressed since getting my attention as far back as 2006, and now being nothing more than a school time taxi I can finally invest in it at my own pace. Cheers, WUG.
