First flight in DCS

[save]

My experience from BOB from the British side is : set mg convergence to different ranges in pair the most outer etc, and hose down small targets at close distance only, if both radiators are gone for the enemy plane, and they are over Britain, they will not make it back.

For the German side I prefer the Minengeschoss when available for the 20mm, they make a real impression.

i have my convergence set on all p51 and p47 at 300. i can hit all the way out to 1000. have surprised many pilots.

all turners have it at 200.

I just got my Delainclip delivered today, its an TrackIR alternative to like 1/3rd the price.

Really happy with it, i know im an decade or so late to the party regarding headtracking, and VR is more immersive for sure, but this will have to do untill the truly next gen VR headsets arrive.



Really happy with this piece of hardware.

My experience with DCS is that I really REALLY need to love the planes that I buy. Learning a new plane is a choir. The more modern it is, the less appealing it becomes for me. Too many damn modes and options for too many systems.

I bought 1 jet - the Mig21bis. This is as modern as I can stand them and the radar is super easy to use:
1. Switch it off.
2. Done.

My other plane is the P47D30. I love messing around with it even though it is not completed yet. Fighting with it is another story - I am completely blind. Half the planes around me I cannot see even when I look straight at them. Half of those that I do spot and shoot at turn out to be friendly... well maybe not so friendly now. Luckily half of those friendlies that I shoot at survive because convergence is currently fixed to 1000 yards and cannot be changes.

DCS is a wonderful sim, a mediocre offline game, and a meh online game.
Their next WWII plane is the Mossie FB.VI. I have a new box of tissues ready next to my computer for when I ejaculate at its release.

LOL

I should have waited....

You can get the whole IL2 library for around $50.

I guess they are trying to steal some of MS's thunder.

At the current discounts, you can the four game set for $79. Not a bad deal, even though my first experience with the IL-2 stuff was less than I expected.
Looks like I may be making a purchase between now and the 24th.................
