Hello all,
I'm a veteran (pushing sixty, now) gamer and enthusiastic flight simmer from the early days of MSFS, but with no recent realism flying experience. I came across DCS a few weeks ago and was completely captivated by the real-world of the game and modules.
In line with how I usually do things, I read up on hardware setups and ordered recommended joystick, throttles and pedals, as well as TrackIR5 and bought a bunch of modules (winter sale very tempting) and various campaigns etc. So...where to start?
I mention 'Fast Start' in the title but that's more a reference to the fact I'm lucky enough to be able to go all-in with gear, alongside state-of-the-art computing and graphics power. I'm not expecting easy. I'm willing to go as deep and slow as necessary to get the best experience.
To you veterans, what would YOU do given these circumstances. Anything different? Would you have done things in an alternative fashion?
Modules available to me, as well as the starter craft:
A10, AJS-37, F5-E, AV-8B, L-39, F/A-18, plus the Huey, 109, FW190D and Spitfire.
The ones that interest me most, on the face of it, are the A10, Harrier and Huey.
I'll be setting up and getting into the first sessions this Sunday. What would you advise as a decent plan of action?
Many thanks in advance,
Sledge, Oxford, UK
