Simulated Aerial Combat Roundtable

I was hyped for the F-86 and bought it 10 years ago. The physics defying AI Mig-15 dampened my enthusiasm. If we ever get a terrain that encompasses both Koreas I'm back in.

you should re-visit the Sabre. I use the John Glenn livery, that says Mig Mad Marine.

DCS is a boring pile of junk. You know it too. I’d like to know who is giving you what to fo this childish  crap. You have dome serious OCD issues. OR you’re getting sonething out of it by one of two parties. The game is a bucket of bugs and sll 5 of you are lying your butts off to dkim players. Pathedic children

Ahh well, to each his own.  I'm certainly not bored with it and haven't noticed a bug in quite awhile.  I mostly like it because I can decide to fly whatever era I want AFTER having to put a little effort into understanding how the aircraft & weapons system works.  (there's even a WWI mod)

 I was > < close to getting it on the sale.  Always loved the F-86 looks.

Just have too much stuff already sitting in the hangar I haven't learned yet. 

I'd get the Kiowa if it drops (stop laughing).  I'll get any of the warbirds that drop. 

I may wait on the F-4.  I'll let everyone get all the bugs worked out and a first patch released and youtube full of tutes first.   At least I was smart enough not to pre-order this time.

I did preorder the F-4E. I trust Heatblur to deliver. I'll definitely buy the F4U.

Yep... I'm done.  Had to move the game to a new drive as I ran out of room.  550+ Gigs lol.  I'll only get the stuff I "really" want from now on.  To be honest though, the only stuff I regret is the C101/L39/Hawk, and I actually fly the 39 occassionally.

Thanks for all the advice. I have download and installed the basic DCS with the TF51 and the Su24 (whatever that is called) and I was thinking to get the pack of a bunch of planes all in one. I know they're not as hi-fi as the other ones but I think it might be a good place to start because I don't really know what I want. lol

Hazmatt, don't forget the free A-4E.  Full fidelity and you can use it with the free aircraft carriers that are available in DCS (USS Stennis and USS Forrestal).  There are also several multiplayer servers that host the A-4E.  When you can land the A-4E on a carrier or air to air refuel you will be over the major learning curve (for fixed wing) in DCS.

These guys take their modeling research seriously. Always liked the Super Sabre.

If you're gonna do carrier ops, learn to do them correctly.

I'm doing spring yard prep and replacing 5 faucets at the moment. 

Did you use the standard hosebib or the new Aquor's?

Those are rookie numbers, you gotta pump them numbers up!!!

last I checked I was at 700+GB. And that is mostly maps.

Several years ago I was up to a terabyte with map downloads for X-Plane. DCS does plan for a world wide map but I'm betting we won't see it this decade.

I just want to Southeast Asia map they said is in line. They are about to release the KOLA map.

Having F4 Vs Mig-21, Mig-19 fights is gonna be awesome.
