VTB_Bingo Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 In a couple of weeks a few of our guys from the Virtual Black Diamond Jet Team will be traveling down to Lakeland, Florida for the Sun N Fun Air Show 2017. We will be down there all week/weekend. We have permission from the CEO of "Draken International" to setup our computers in their hangar so they can try out the DCS: L-39 module as well as other modules that they're used to flying. One of my guys will be taking the Vive down there as well and his HOTAS setup. During our time with the members of "Black Diamond Jet Team" and "Draken" our plan is to go live on facebook live, as well record their answers to questions that you may have for them. If you have any questions you'd like us to ask them feel free to post them down below. :thumbup: Keep in touch on: https://www.facebook.com/VirtualBlackDiamondJetTeam/ 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Virtual Thunderbirds, LLC | Sponsored by Thrustmaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyforDCS Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Well this one is obvious probably, but assuming you manage to get them to try the DCS L39, here goes anyway: How does the DCS L39C compare to the real thing? :) (In terms of system modeling, flight dynamics, etc) Current specs: Windows 10 Home 64bit, i5-9600K @ 3.7 Ghz, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB Samsung EVO 860 M.2 SSD, GAINWARD RTX2060 6GB, Oculus Rift S, MS FFB2 Sidewinder + Warthog Throttle Quadrant, Saitek Pro rudder pedals.

Most of the time they will just nod and say "hey, that's great" and move on. The only real way to know is if they fly it for a few weeks or more. Then you'll get real feedback.

As I said before, we have a member here that owns a L39 and flies the DCS one as well. We're going to be leaving our computers in their hangar through the entire week. You may know someone who flys the L-39 and also flys DCS, but these are ex/current fighter pilots who's going to be trying it out. Since 2011 we have all kept in touch since our L-39 was created back in LOMAC FC2. We made due with our L-39 SFM, and we even told them it was over the A-10A back then but we could manage the same speeds. Now that DCS: L-39 is out, they can see how realistic it is and how close of a formation we can fly/do loops, rolls, etc. It's just all for fun to see what they think about it, and have them try formation for their selfs on what we do virtually. :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Virtual Thunderbirds, LLC | Sponsored by Thrustmaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
