  1. 1. What level of flight mode do you use?

    • Sim, all the way
    • Some sim, some "game" options
    • All "Game" I love the Arcade
    • What? DCS has a "game " mode??

Couple of days i have been using all sim options. I started with game mode on a russian version and now after ENG version i started learning the TRUE way of flying and attacking. Still can't fly for shit. :smartass: And often when i'm finding targets and finally got a lock on target and launch my first ATGM the enemy SAM sends me a exploding welcome party at my face. :)

This really is HARD !

Sim only but. Although all simulation type games attract elitists, we should not knock the guys playing arcade. It is a good way to get the feet wet, is still difficult and may be just what they need to help them discover that they want to jump in to sim mode. And it the don't ? Who cares, as long as they enjoy it.

 

Unless of course we think there are too many people into these kinds of games and want to thin out the ranks. I am pretty sure ED don't think that :-)

I don't think this poll is likely to tell us much, I doubt that anyone who would be playing it in arcade mode will be on the forums. If they were interested enough to be on the forums, they probably would be hard corps flight simmers......imho.

no, I feel MSFS is a place to get your feet wet. I only wish more people to enjoy sims. I want DCS to sale and make money... I just feel an Arcade "mode" is too much. Id like to See more Basic flight aircraft in the DCS line. OR maybe Ive been flying sim and Real aircraft for too long. :smartass: AKA old and stuck in my ways:smilewink:

Sim only. It has been a long time since I flown such a finely model Helicopter sim.

Sim + external views + restore things. Although it's not realistic but i love observing the battlefield from different angles

Well, currently I play it in arcade mode! When I get bored, I'll gradually go into sim mode, as I did with Lo:FC.

 

Anyway, I'm more a gamer than a simmer. And the strange thing is: Black Shark is also a very good game! The arcade mode is very balanced and bug-free. It could attract loads of more casual simmers.

It's great to have both options; sim and arcade. I think it draws a larger market and arcade mode is great for learning the sim. I flew easy mode initially while I was learning the avionics, and now I have the avionics down I'm still flying easy mode while I learn the nav system. Once I have all of the systems down I'll focus on flight. It's up to the individual how they play it, but I personally think it's beneficial to have both level to encourage more gamers to try a sim. :)

I agree the arcade mode clearly draws in a large audience (not everyone wants to learn every nook and cranny of a high fidelity flight sim). With that said I'm happy that the devs provided us with the option.

When i'm playing campaigns i use game mode still for flying, i find it just too hard with sim mode. It still isn't any easier than any other regular sim in the past. Without game mode this sim really is over the top hard sim like no other ever in history of games. For the last couple of days i have been practicing all sim mode, but i find it just too hard for me. I have a wife and 2 kids so i don't have the time it would take to learn all that.

 

btw. Does anyone know how to get rid of those consolish weapon indicators on lower right screen. I know how to disable that toy radar, but weapon indicator i don't know. Also what i wish for is a semi game mode. Where everything else in avionics is in sim mode, but target locking is behind one button. ED Patch perhaps. ? :music_whistling:

After remapping my stick i think it isn't needed now. I can start attacking in less than 10 seconds after entering target area. Now only thing i need to learn is how to fly this thing in Sim mode...

 

Night time battes with full avionics is pain in the ass. You can't see *hit in your shkval monitor. Only thing that's going to help you is if someone else illuminates the area for you. IR would be nice buddy...
