pengjn Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 New PC, DCS 2.0, NTTR and F-15C = happy chap. Day 1 was a real challenge getting my Thrustmaster Warthog setup and learning the absolute basics of DCS and the Eagle - particularly because I'd made the mistake of thinking I could get away without pedals. Lots of bouncing on landing, trying to pull 9g turns and wondering why I was ending up at the stall very quickly, etc, etc. Basically a disaster Day 2 I managed to setup a mission with 4 unarmed Flankers orbiting north of Nellis (I was pretty pleased just with this achievement TBH), got airborne, found the targets (mainly on the map view sadly), locked one up and took him out with a Slammer. Lots of passes later I'd taken out all 4 defenceless SU-27s. I got back to Nellis and performed my first successful landing and parked back on the ramp. Very, very pleased with myself at this point! I'd struggled to justify spending the time and money on a PC purely for sims but now I feel like I'm learning and I've got such a huge amount more to learn that I'm really excited.
