"UAE" Dubai players enquiry

[-Scrat-]

Hi Guys,

I am moving to Dubai next year, and I would like to know if there are any DCS players based in the UAE on this forum?

I would love to hear any feedback about the quality of the Internet for multi players use, is the ping correct? Do we need a VPN to play? Any Internet provider recommendations? 

Cheers

I'm Dubai based and looking for a regular wingman - but I fly Cold War rather than modern/4th gen airframes. DM me if you're interested in a wingman for ECW or Contention.

Internet speed is excellent and will cost you about 400AED/month for a high speed connection. There's only 2 internet providers, they cost virtually the same and in many areas one of them will have a monopoly so you don't have much choice.

I get a ping of 100-150ms to EU servers and 220-300ms to US servers - both are playable without significant lag

(The above is for wired [fibre] internet. You can also get 5g based home internet but I believe the cost is similar but no idea about speed/latency)

VPN isn't needed to play per se - but is needed if you want to use Discord for voice comms (although SRS will work without VPN)

I use a VPN when I'm playing with randos and we're on Discord but if I'm playing with someone I know, I'll use google meet to avoid the hassle of the VPN

Dubai based,  no problem with DCS at all.

you need vpn only for discord app, via web is working

server in EU with 130 ping no issue.
