Welcome to the forum Fudbucker

Welcome NC, im also new but have a laptop i use, or pick up a cheap monitor and have two screens :)

Thanks Gunnars & Stuart for the clarification. I have a lot to learn.

I did a search but found no reference, so if it been mentioned before forgive me. Have any of the very talented people thought about making a Tornado aircraft? I was part of 1991 gulf war, Operation Granby (Desert Storm to our friends across the pond) it would be great to fly this in the Persian gulf. First picture is of a Jaguar and Tornado The Panavia Tornado is a family of twin-engine, variable-sweep wing multirole combat aircraft, jointly developed and manufactured by Italy, the United Kingdom, and West Germany. There are three primary Tornado variants: the Tornado IDS (interdictor/strike) fighter-bomber, the suppression of enemy air defences Tornado ECR (electronic combat/reconnaissance) and the Tornado ADV (air defence variant) interceptor aircraft. The Tornado was developed and built by Panavia Aircraft GmbH, a tri-national consortium consisting of British Aerospace (previously British Aircraft Corporation), MBB of West Germany, and Aeritalia of Italy. It first flew on 14 August 1974 and was introduced into service in 1979–1980. Due to its multirole design, it was able to replace several different fleets of aircraft in the adopting air forces. The Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) became the only export operator of the Tornado in addition to the three original partner nations. A tri-nation training and evaluation unit operating from RAF Cottesmore, the Tri-National Tornado Training Establishment, maintained a level of international co-operation beyond the production stage. The Tornado was operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF), Italian Air Force, and RSAF during the Gulf War of 1991, in which the Tornado conducted many low-altitude penetrating strike missions. The Tornados of various services were also used in conflicts in the former Yugoslavia during the Bosnian War and Kosovo War, the Iraq War, Libya during the Libyan civil war, as well as smaller roles in Afghanistan, Yemen, and Syria. Including all variants, 992 aircraft were built.

Sorry for my ignorance, but reading Thuds write up it mentions installing Steam VR, i'm using DCS stand alone not on steam, do i still follow the guide? https://vr4dcs.com/2019/09/10/reverb-settings-for-dcs/

parxuk, i just bought the Rift S, from Amazon UK (Prime member) its still in the box as im offshore, and i did lots of research before buying, but clearly not enough :) i have 30 days to return or exchange so plenty of time to give it a go and return if im not happy. My PC stats are on my signature so im hoping the RTX 2070 super will be up to the task.

Not even taken my Thrustmaster throttle and joystick out the box yet, as im away, but home next week then my DCS journey begins. But reading the many post on this upgrade i had to have it, looking forward to it Order #3195,

Thanks Gent's I have the Harrier, F-16 Viper, J-17 to name a few on my list, but i'll learn them slowly over time What is the Skates Updater Utility, i looked at the link, but what is it for? as im offshore the YouTube links are blocked by the company :pilotfly:

I'll be upgrading to at least 32 when i get home, have to see what make of ram i have in the PC, I'm hoping its 2x8 and i have two spare slots, else it'll be 2x16's, PC was bought a month ago.

I took full advantage of the sale, dont tell the wife DCS: C-101 Aviojet A-10C Basic Flight Training Campaign DCS: A-10C Warthog DCS: Black Shark 2 DCS: F-14 Tomcat DCS: Flaming Cliffs 3 DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range Map DCS: P-51D Mustang F/A-18C Aggressors BFM Campaign Normandy 1944 Map + WWII Assets Pack Spitfire IX The Big Show Campaign Spitfire LF Mk.

Bloatware, the crap that comes per-installed. I deleted loads when i bought my PC a month ago.

Thanks Zius, i did go a little mad with my wallet, but the sale was on :) I have the C-101, and that will be my trainer for a while, but im sure i'll have a look at all the others, just to see you understand :megalol:

You still offshore mate? Southern Sector? I gave up on the rigs, now on a vessel for tax reasons :)

Wow that looks awesome. Could the enemy be able to sink it i wonder. Be some great missions with that

Thanks HC, yep im right handed Joysick in my right hand), its going to be strange using a trackball in my left hand, :)

Thats amazing, how do you record the video and fly the plane?

Thank Gent's HC, i was a little confused lol, you had the hands used the wrong way round :)

Having only just started in DCS, i've bought a Rift S. I'm thinking of buying a trackball, so i dont knock my pint over on the desk :) while blindly hunting for the mouse. Looking for recommendations for a trackball please

That was very kind of you Pikey, wish i still lived in Southern England, but the wife made me move :) so i could pop round to gather some of your knowledge. i do get to Bisley now and then, that's closest i get to my old stomping ground now. This forum is great.

Thanks Burger. I can't wait to unpack all the boxes waiting for me, one more week and i'll be home then the fun begins

Welcome Tubes, im in the same situation, looking forward to playing mate

Thanks Lenux. I'll have to wait a few more week until i get home. For now im just spending my hard earned cash on plaines etc. Thanks for the links, ill take a look mate

Gent's forgive my ignorance, i'm offshore and installed DCS on my PC just before going offshore. I've spent a fortune on toys, maps and modules, but have two more week before i can play. Sorry for the silly question. I'll go back to reading and watching :)

Good morning all. Watching a few battles on YouTube i see there using the Caucasus maps, i've looked at the DCS site, but there are only 3 terrain maps? How do you get the Caucasus terrains please

Being totally new to DCS, so spending a lot of time reading posts and learning. I watched the youtube videos about the Marianas map last night. I liked it, and will be looking forward to free flight if possible. One thing that really strikes me about this forum, and DCS in general is the people, there are so many willing to spent there time giving advice, making maps, missions, tutorials, and videos etc.., without them it would be overwhelming for me. Free is always nice.
