DCS On a Surface Pro

Hi all,

 

 

I'd like to be able to work on the mission editor when I'm away from home. I have a MacBook Pro and an iPad Pro, so those can not run DCS full stop.

 

 

I was wondering whether a Surface Pro would be able to run DCS purely for the mission editor, with no intention of flying.

 

 

Thanks in advance,

 

 

Tom

If the macbook pro has a discrete graphics card and enough free drive space, it could run dcs using apple’s bootcamp and windows 7/8.

 

None of the surface pro has discrete graphics, and i believe that dcs will not run well (if at all) on the intel integrated graphics.

Thanks, thought it would be unlikely. It's something I'll probably have to leave. It was a thought for the future replacement of the MacBook and iPad; though I don't want to move that stuff away from Apple.

yes you can...i use a surface pro as a server sometimes....i had just to edit a line in the config about the graphics card.

but if you use it only in mission editor you should non have any issue.

But having a macbook pro i would consider use a windows virtual machine
