Funkyjazz Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I have been flying flightsims for years. Give me a fixed plane aircraft flightsim (no matter what), i will take off, do a go around and land. I have flown (well...i was able to bank left, right, climb and descent) in a real Cessna (birthday present). I have flown the PMDG 747-400 in FS9 twice around the world (real time and weather) without a single crash. But...BS is another story. I admit i was quit "scary" to buy BS cause i didn't know what expect. Sometimes i flew a chopper in FSX... But his baby...wow man. Even with the excellent trim function and autopilot function its still hard to fly it as smooth a a fixed plane aircraft. And looking at YT vids of people really mastering the BS...respect! I like it as it is a new challenge! DCS BS = :thumbup: 1 Without sollutions there aren't any problems CASE: CM 690 II / PSU: CM 750 Realpower / MB: MSI P55 GD65 / CPU: I7-860 @ 3,8 GHZ / MEM: 4x2GB OCZ 1866 Platinum / SB: Creative X-FI Extreme gamer / GPU: ASUS GTX 275 / HD: 2 x Samsung F1 1 GB / OS: WIN 7 64 Bit H.E. / MON: 1 x Samsung Syncmaster P2770HD & 1 x Samsung syncmaster 940bf / Logitech G27 / logitech G110 / Logitech M705 / Logitech Extreme 3D pro / Saitek Proflight Yoke, 2 USB Throttle controllers & rudders / TrackIR 4.0 /
Bulletstop Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I have to admit, I only really bought it to support the devs. However once I got it and started learning the systems, I feel in love. Hell I even think it looks good and most times I loath Russain birds. I can not beat the realism nor the attention to detail in the FM and supporting systems. It is just a fun bird to fly and on a plus side has a nice selection of weapons. It does have some rather irrating things like see thru tree's but all in all a very nice sim, and yes I still take it for a flight and keep in practice from a cold and dark bird all the way to weapon utilization. It is great to see another person who truly enjoys the sim Salute.

Tango Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 I don't know about you, but after just 10 hours flying the Shark I flew MSFS far better than I ever did, and also found MSFS flight model to be severely lacking (MSFS felt dead to me after that). I don't think there is any question that flying DCS series (A-10 or Black Shark) improves your flying ability. I'm just waiting to get some rudder pedals so I can fly it again. Best regards, Tango.
