PacFlyer23 Posted September 30, 2023 Posted September 30, 2023 Hello ED. I'm new to DCS and enjoying learning to fly in it. I have noticed that it's pretty unrepresentative of today's military combat pilots. Especially in western NATO counties like the USAF and USN, even USMC. Specifically; female pilots and other ethnicities such as black and latino american pilots. Modern air force combat pilot cadres are no longer 100% white male. My niece's high school female african-american best friend just graduated from the US Naval Academy, was accepted into USN flight school, and is currently in basic air flight training at US Naval Air Station Pensacola. She wants to be a F/A-18 fighter pilot.

Beirut Posted October 1, 2023 Posted October 1, 2023 On the plus side, DCS is highly representative of non-human, non-living, pilots with no brains, internal organs, or genitalia, who are fabricated with code and pixels and who have no family or names. Also, due to screen sizes, these pilots are only several inches tall. DCS champions the rights of this oppressed class of people. I, for one, applaud ED for being so inclusive. For less than a dollar a day, you too can feed a never-gonna-be-hungry-'cause-it-ain't-real DCS pilot. Won't you help? 2 Some of the planes, but all of the maps!
PacFlyer23 Posted October 1, 2023 Author Posted October 1, 2023 Being new here and to DCS, maybe this video of F-15s pilots scrambling has been show before, but I still think it's pretty cool...

SharpeXB Posted October 1, 2023 Posted October 1, 2023 I think the character customization menus in other games are a nicety that a niche game like DCS can’t afford. I’m sure these are mods for this sort of thing. i9-14900KS | ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO | 64GB DDR5 5600MHz | iCUE H150i Liquid CPU Cooler | ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 4090 OC | Windows 11 Home | 2TB Samsung 980 PRO NVMe | Corsair RM1000x | LG 48GQ900-B 4K OLED Monitor | CH Fighterstick | Ch Pro Throttle | CH Pro Pedals | TrackIR 5
