Pally Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) As topic stated, I love DCS: World. With that in mind, I want to give you my thanks. But most of all, I love you all. Each programmer, artist, project manager, public liaison, and every job title in between, thank you. The beauty of DCS: World has always captured my heart. Through all the patches, all the updates, all the complaints, all the resolutions, all the anticipation with all the possibilities (oh there are endless at that), and all the Nick Grey, Matt Wagner "Wag", Nineline, BigNewy, all the yearly updates with Nick Grey's voice over, and many may more, I cannot thank you enough. I came from a different flight sim hobby background, but from an era where 486 DX33 w/ 16 MEG RAM was the best I could have. I want to express a wholeheartedly thank you for what you, the programmer, the renderer, the troubleshooter, the project manager, the community relations liaison, and the quality assurance specialist who made DCS: World into what it is today. Fact is, love, may comes from all angles and all walks of life; from mine, I am grateful for Eagle Dynamics and the heights they have achieve thus far. Thanks, guys and gals, and Nick's DCS team, you ALL rock. Best, Your fan. Big Oops re RAM amount: After the comments I collected below, I think it was 4 megs originally in 1991 followed by another 4 meg many years later in 1995-1996 (it was my summer break during high school, I recall). Yeah, 16 meg... that's a no way. Sorry, it's 28 yrs ago, and my memory for that PC RAM amount got fussy. Thanks for the correction!

PLUTON Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 It's good to say things frankly, it's also good to recognize when certain people bring you joy and well-being and that's what DCS is doing by having created this simulation which brings us all that, and even if some people grumble about it. such and such a problem They and we are very happy to have them. Donations I repeat and will repeat every day Thank you DCS and, to all the team and those who work hard with them!

Eaglewings Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Yes to the open post. A thank you to ED team is well deserved. Once in a while it is good to let the ED team know this. Aviation has always been of great interest to me and to be able to explore that interest with a software while sitting at home is amazing.

buceador Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I concur! 16 megs of RAM when the cost of RAM back then was on a par with platinum puts you in a very different league! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon1-1 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Remember, this is the community where a 4090 is considered a good GPU choice. Running 16 megs of RAM would've been the equivalent to buying one of the 90 series today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Kazansky Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Hm... Love? Let me see... It seems impossible to imagine living without DCS. I'm planing a wonderful future together with DCS and ED. We've gone together through good and bad times. I've invested lots of time, heartache, sweat and tears of joy and some of pain into our relationship. You haven't been my first combat flight sim but I could easily live with the imagination that you'd be my last. There are people at ED whose voices alone get me shivers. You are not perfect but you are perfect to me. Guess it's.... Love. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It likely was a 4 meg at the beginning, followed another 4 meg I bought many years later for an Apache sim by Interactive Magic. Strike Commander by Chris Robert's team at Origin was my first flight sim love. Pardon for the mixed up. It's 1991-1996 timeline. Memory got fussy.

Running 16 megs of RAM would've been the equivalent to buying one of the 90 series today. I think it was 4 meg followed by another 4 meg much later in high school junior year. That was ancient history, and had my memory got fussy about that detail. No excuse for forgetting that first computer where I had a 90/10 percent time split with my old man. Now, a 4090... man, I can't even. I'm holding on to my EVGA 2080 Ti from eBay back in 2019 in my 9700K. Happy with that choice, and can't--nor want to--keep up with the new tech every two years in the GPU domain. There must be a limit with these hobbies or else it can get out of hands quick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCoffey Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I 2nd that. you make my fell old. My first aviation related was p-51 on a coco which was as basically a line for the horizon and a few pixels for the runway/planes. Then it was the first Microsoft flight sim.

hannibal Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 over the weekend, i gave my friend the ultimate gaming experience made possible by DCS World. i think i spend half my free time on this sim, whether learning DCS topics on youtube, flying on line, or building cool stuff that actually functions with DCS. my friend had a blast, this a video i made. https://youtu.be/xtjF2rIwHtk ONLY POSSIBLE because of Eagle Dynamics! many thanks... 4 find me on steam! username: Hannibal_A101A http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197969447179 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beirut Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Truth be told, it is the flightsim I always wanted, even before I knew it existed.
