I need a Combat Flight Sim for my PC

[rollin_sb]

I need a combat Fight Sim that will work on my newer mod PC. It is 64 bit, Windows 8.1, Hard Drive 900 Gb, with 4 Gb RAM.

 

Microsoft Combat Flight Sim 3 does work, even though it says XP and not 8.1 windows. I would love to get something along the lines of A-10 Warthog which says minimum of 4 Gb Ram, but I don't want to buy unless it will work.

 

Thanks

4 gb ram might be a problem for this game tbh... what is your video card?

Well, thats is good for DCS. I am currently running on a HP G6 Laptop 4GB Ram/600 GB HDD/2.76 Ghz Cpu/Win 8/64 Bit with most of the graphics turned down or off. Runs smooth with FC3 and still looks good(Normal). Most important is flying smooth and will worry about the scenery whenever i get my hands on a new powerful rig...........

You could always try downloading it for yourself and using the two free modules that DCS comes with (Su-25T/TF-51D) to see how it runs.

I have very little issues running DCS with that same video card. Some issues with MP, but SP runs fine.

 

Here are my benchmarks for DCS with that vid card on a Dell laptop:

 

DCS 1.2 (SP) = 15-20 FPS w/ setting at High/Med

DCS 1.2 (MP) = Same as above

 

DCS 1.5 (SP) = 12-15 FPS w/ settings at Med/High

DCS 1.5 (MP) = 13-17 FPS w/ settings at Med/High

 

DCS 2.0 (SP) - 10-12 FPS w/ settings at Low

DCS 2.0 (MP) - 8-11 FPS w/ settings at Low

 

Usually the game lags too much on landing approach or when there is a lot of ground traffic.
