Which server?

[Turkish]

Hi, Guys. 
I’m new to DCS. Been flying old and new il2 for about 15 years and decided to try jets. I’ve bought an F-16c and slowly looking for a server full realistic but when I could survive more than a few minutes. Cheers.

For the best user experience, yours and others pilots as well, I strongly suggest to choose server "near" you.
While is true that in DCS you don't need the fastest and strongest connection with 0ms latency to enjoy it like in First Person Shooters, you can still experience bad behavior when latency start to increase a lot, especially in dogfight, fight, formation flight and AAR refueling. if you stay in server with less than 100ms of latency ( ping ) you should be fine.

After that, if it's first time at all in multiplayer, start with some PvE server just to understand some stuff of multiplayer, like awacs call, how to manage and interact with server stuff, typically under Radio menu => others...

So.....which server? 1 billion question

If you're located on EU, or close enough to have a good ping and want to start, you're welcome to join out dcs servers, where we also have a statistics page to track your progress.
And if you have question, just have to ask It's very friendly place.

Search for: [ITA] Banshee and you'll find them, every one with different features and difficulty.

Starting from the one on Caucasus ( easiest ) and up to the Syria that is the more "advanced"

Fly Safe

162nd Vipers might match what you’re looking for. It has “real” settings in terms of no labels and such. But it’s not so super expert level. It features hot starts and lots of action, simple missions etc. Unlike most other PvP servers it runs the Stable version all the time which is much appreciated.
