DCS

Any PH bods dabble in DCS at all?

Been trying to get my head round it for a while putting my new PC to good use, but its hard going!

I am flying the FC3 modules, which is good as the learning curve is a bit easier. Mainly before I invest too heavily in a high fidelity version.

I am due to get a quest 2 but want to make sure this is going to stick but been a long time flight sim fan.

Currently mostly flying the Migs - but the 29 was so hard to land sticking with the 27.

I can land ok with it, managed a few missions ok!

I guess its just the sheer amount of info to take in, a decent HOTAS is on list to as using a fairly cheap thrustmaster job.

Who's tried the new Hind?

Might try later since the modules are open for trial, just working out how to map collective etc!

Any views on the best high fidelity module to start with?

I got FC3 but sale is on just now!

Not a clue what I am doing tho

Id actually say the Hornet to be honest.

Lot to learn etc but it's relatively easy to fly, I guess it's a bit like driving a car with ESP ABS and all that makes it very forgiving to fly. Can't hurt to ask anyone with experience to fly with you and point you in the right direction

Been told the Tomcat is the opposite, a bit like driving an old 80s RWD turbo car in the wet on toyo R888's though

Yeah think need a bit of 1-1 tbh. Having said that I did manage a carrier landing on the FC3 training mission tonight after many attempts!

Got the F16 as my first big module, been short of time but want to try and put effort into it.

Did consider joining squadron etc as some lessons/support think be helpful.

Hop on 104th and their teamspeak, plenty of guys willing to help new guys.

We're all still learning no matter how good you think you are

Thanks will check it out once I work my way through the F16 training !
