wavn Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Hello all, I'am new in DCS World and just have bought A-10C, P-51D and the Black Shark2; since a day experimenting with these: start up procedures, basic flights, basic weapons handling etc. and I must say: DCS World is in one word: fantastic!! Until now, I am a FSX flyer and I have combat flyed in the long distant history (about beginning with F16 combat pilot of DI). I like DCS World because of: - "real" simulation of the aircraft, - offcourse the possibility to "play" wargames, - installing with STEAM: no problems with compability, updates, drivers etc. (as far as I know), - possibility to do more with the militairy aircraft as what is possible in FSX, - super graphics and very detailed aircraft presentation, - very fast (my system is 4,5 years with an (updated) AMD 6990), - 64 bit: build for the future. I surely hope, that also third party developers will adopt DCS World: maybe, you can even make a (partly) civilian flightsim out of it. Wonder, why LM did not use DCS World for developing .............

Wonder, why LM did not use DCS World for developing ............. Best Regards, Willem Welcome Willem, As someone that has flown with FSX for a long time have you found that with DCS the game runs much smoother is more precise and the controls feel much nicer as well. (You have some really good controls adjustment options in DCS) I have a collection of carrier aircraft I like to fly in FSX and I still enjoy it (carrier ops) There are some aircraft being developed for fsx that I'd love to see done for DCS, but whenever i come back to DCS it highlights its superiority, overall for hardcore simming I don't think DCS can be beaten.

wavn Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Thanks all of you for your nice welcome! Training all the time: now with the A-10C and the P-51D. I had LOCK-ON in the past: about 12 years agoo ....... ?: but all (A-10 weapon handling) has to be learned again. Black Shark (2) has to wait a bit: cannot do everything in the same time. Once, I had the "HIND" and the "LONGBOW": more than 15 years agoo ...............?? So, she is also a bit of "old times are coming back again". @ Arthur: about the SU-25: she is not "clickable" (as far as I know)? @ Weststr: I also have a lot of jets in FSX: F14, F15, F16, A7 (Iris, Milviz, Aerosoft, Razbam) but you can only fly with these and not shoot : also in DCS the aircraft is far more in details simulated ( I hope however that these jets will also be modelled for DCS in the future). @ Humbug: DCS World is a bargain: I will not specify how much money I have spent at FSX (add-ons): I even do not want to know it myself :noexpression: Edited February 13, 2014 by wavn Best regards, Willem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtMan_NL Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) @ Arthur: about the SU-25: she is not "clickable" (as far as I know)? That's right Willem. As far as I know they are working on it. But if I believe the specialists it has one of the best 6dof cockpits. Can you tell me what Hotas you have? Do you own an TrackIR? If you like to learn the SU-25 (T) I strongly advice you to follow those lessons: The basic mission.: Lesson 1: Lesson 2: Lesson 3: Lesson 4: Lesson 5: After watching and write down the key commands it is easy to fly. Except the landings :megalol: Those are very challenging. The SU-25 (T) has also very nice gunpods with movable barrels. Those are fun!

Fully compatible with W7 and I think it is a must have. Your Sim life will change completely and I think a Track IR is more important then a hotas. /Arthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
