Ddawg21 Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 Hello all! I am brand new to DCS World. Will make my first flight tomorrow. P51 or Spitfire. Really enjoy the war birds. Haven't decided yet. Been years since I have flown a flight sim. Just bought my first computer in..... well, a long time ago. So looking forward to start flying. Last time was Falcon 4.0 and MSFS European WWII. t 1 Retired coach and as of today, retired Deputy Sheriff.

Welcome, if you haven't yet purchased the aircrafts, wait a bit and fly instead the Training P-51 (TF-51D) as it cames free with DCS and will allow you to test your PC system to confirm that it is able to handle DCS. The aircraft cames with training missions to help you learn it, plus here are some video tutorial to get started (the TF-51D flies the same as the P-51D, only lacks its weapons) For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
Ddawg21 Posted December 31, 2022 Author Posted December 31, 2022 Thanks for the heads up. This is all pretty much new to me. I am used to just putting in a DVD and taking off.
