new pilot

Hello

 

Just thought id introduce myself i'd been looking at DCS for a while finally downloaded it having a ball learning SU25 soooooo different from my Me 109 on CLOD but great fun, been flying since early days of IL2.

Flew for a while on Lock on Modern Air Combat when it first came out but lost interest, also interested in Silent Hunter 5

 

I downloaded DCS from Steam so its the 1.28 version very happy with it but was looking at FC3 to go with it I have had a read around the forum but im confused can I just purchase FC3 from steam and it will add on to DCSW with no need to purchase anything else ?

 

Many Thanks

Hi Heinz, first of all, welcome to the forums!

 

You can purchase FC3 from the DCS website or from steam, wherever you get the better deal at the time I guess. You'll have a key either way, which you can use with the normal DCS world install or with steam, whichever you decide.

DCS World is the base install and any other modules will plug straight in.

 

Also, take a look at the proper DCS modules if you like more of a challenge, such as the A-10c or the Ka-50. They're without a doubt the most realistic combat flight simulations on the market.

 

Also, as a WW2 fan you might be happy to know that there already is a fully modelled P-51d, an FW-190 coming along, and a WW2 module with further aircraft in the works.

How did u get 1.28 to install? I have all files in a single file on desktop... each time I attempt to install I receive a "you do not have permission" or similar language denying installation...

 

I tried three time to secure help from the techs... nothing but... delay... they are a small comp and I do not want to wait for nerver:<)

 

Any help would be appreciated... I am upgrading to a 4770K cpu, Asus Z87k mb with 16 megs of 2133 mem, I plan on upgrading my 2x 6970s with a 780. I have the complete thrustmaster hotas, pedals and MFDs .. I used to play falcon: Allied Assault and Falcon 4...

Right Click the icon "Run as Administrator" and have at it. Might want to install to all users to avoid another issue.
