Chief1942 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Okay, a bit of a different approach here on this forum. I know that some are having various problems with the different modules, some "beta" some final release, and I have had such issues myself, usually right after an update. But currently all my modules are working fine based on their development cycle. I am enjoying every one of these offerings from ED and also all the mods of those "modders" out there that have given freely of their time and skills to make the immersion even better. You know who you are.:thumbup: Just so you know, at age 72 I can't even dream about really doing what ED and DSCW permits me in the comfort of my home sitting at my computer. The only way I felt I could show my appreciation for my favorite pastime, is via a post such as this and simply say Thank You all! 5 Intel i5-4690K Devil's Canyon, GForce TitanX, ASUS Z-97A MB, 16GB GDDR3 GSkill mem, Samsung SSD X3,Track IR, TM Warthog, MFG Crosswind pedals, Acer XB280HK monitor,GAMETRIX KW-908 JETSEAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodsPrototype Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Best sim out there indeed. Devs and modders deserve some praise once in a while, because these are some of the best.

Even if one flies an aircraft for years, I have often heared that they are amazed that there is still something new to figgure out. At least that is the case for me ... (not that I would be particulary good with any airframe anyways, but still ..) What I am trying to say is: ask! Don't be shy. "There are no dumb questions, only dumb answers" ;o) As long as you are willing to learn, I bet nobody will hestiate to actually answer any questions to the best of their abilities.

Chief1942 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Thanks Flagrum, I actually do ask regarding those things I can wrap my head around, But when guys start talking about .lua this and that my eyes roll faster than an F-15. My wife says that the learning challenges in this past time exercises my brain so she sees it as a good thing and never is critical of the amount of time I spend enjoying it. I have purchased some modules simply to support ED but haven't really gotten comfortable with any one airframe yet to the point I get bored and want to try something new. Heck, it would take me a whole semester to just assimilate all the manuals out there on the P-51 and the F-86. It is a real hoot and I so enjoy it.

Mike5560 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 What better of a pc experience can be had in terms of enjoyment and keeping your mind in shape than DCS? Day to day, we take for granted the overall experience that ED brings and focus on bugs, improvements (rightfully so) and when the hell DCS 2.0 will release! I haven't regretted a module purchase yet, and overall Im a very satisfied customer, thanks ED! Chief, overall I like hearing about the diversity of us simmers. I think you will find a lot of others on here willing to help you out or join you on online gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msalama Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 overall Im a very satisfied customer, thanks ED! Oh, definitely. I've got my gripes - don't we all? - but still, this is THE combat sim of all time. My last purchase was the 15bis and I'm just totally in love with that wee birdie!

Belgeode Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I agree with you 100% Chief. While I am no where close to 72 (give me about 28 years) I will never be the fighter ace, or helo jock IRL that I try to be in game. I was skeptical when I first downloaded DCSW, but it won me over with a quickness, and this is the closest I think I will ever get to the real thing. Bravo ED and third party devs!!! You've scratched my itch! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] YouTube ~ Twitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre-TLA Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I agree. Never in my life did I envision having a flight simulator that was similar to the million dollar sims the air force use and at a reasonable cost. Sure I don't have the big wrap around screen but my large hd tv and trackir make it work. Having clickable switches in the cockpit makes it possible for an amateur like me to have a working pit. It's an amazing experience and kudos to ED, the 3rd party devs and all the modders that continue to make this sim world great to play in.

Nevyn Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 72 OP???? Yipppee I still have 30 years of DCS ahead of me at least. I bet you going to live to a 100 or more OP, DCS will keep you young. We might even see EDGE before we die, hehehe.... Keep it up ED, you made a lot of us pretty happy with life, I reckon most of go to sleep at night/day really wishing we didn't have to sleep, or work for that matter.
