I'm trying to drive my little brother into DCS. He's a console fella but I feel I want him to try DCS world. So my question is, if I repurchase DCS L-39, can I have him inside L-39C as student so I teach him a few principles? We have similar machines so he won't do flying but rather observe instruments to help get him oriented. We can link by LAN (ethernet) cable?

 

Thanks

Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

Just install the free base on his computer and try. Host and user your ip to connect. If it works, great!, if not, you've tried.

 

Free base DCS won't work, he will need to purchase a 2nd copy of the module.

 

To the OP, just create a simple mission and host it, then have your brother connect. Should work just fine.

As long as both have access to the Internet, then yes, one machine can connect via direct IP to the other. The internet is still required initially for license verification. So, not really a lan only solution, but still pretty easy to setup.

 

Just start a new server, Public or not, just set a password and the other can either select it from the list or direct via IP.

 

As far as interaction between pilot and instructor in the L39, I hear it's working better then ever except for a bug where lag on 1 machine or the other can cause damage to the aircraft.

 

Good luck

AFAIK you both will need to connect to ED's master server to play over your LAN. It won't matter if your LAN is wired (Ethernet) or wireless, as long as both PC's can connect to the internet

AFAIK

 


  • The OP can download the base game (perhaps via steam?)
  • Create a second ED account for his bother
  • and create a MP Su-25T mission to test the mechanics of hosting, etc.
  • before buying a copy of the L-39 for his brother
  • the free modules (Su-25T/TF-51D) are part of the base install anyway and so part of a L-39 install, the OP will just be testing his LAN compatibility before purchase.
