man.  DCS has strengths and weaknesses like any piece of software, but sometimes I am blown away by level of graphics it can achieve.
I need to try some of those settings.  I think I have enough hardware, I just hadn't had time to figure out how to optimize.  Still look damn good with jsut the twiddling I have done.

People will tell you that graphics don't matter. 

I think they matter a great deal in attracting potential new customers to your platform. 
To me, they matter a great deal in increasing my sense of emersion and the suspension of disbelief.

It's not the only thing you need.  But it sure is better to have great graphics than not.  Especially from a Sales\ "Curb Appeal" point of view.

When I just want to fly around I do MSFS.

When I want to exercise precision flying, and not kill anyone but the tanker, I do some air refueling.

Put a tanker in an orbit, add some weather, at night, no labels, no map. Take off with a quarter tank. Find the tanker and get some gas.

I thought this was interesting.  Wonder if this would work with AH or IL-2?

From what Ive read, it was very hard to get the scaling dialed in for those mini joysticks. Never tried it myself tho.

You probably could learn to fly with an xbox type controller but no thanks.

I use an Xbox controller for the CPG seat in the Apache. So much fun.

So do I. Perfect for that. I wouldn't fly with it though.

I know a couple players that do and will only play that way.

AH supports game controllers too.

And it isn't shy about telling you if you s tart with one plugged in (though oddly clipped).

No. They are broke and it's all they have.

Or don't have use of their legs.

Or travel for business or in a long-haul and don't have room to drag around a HOTAS.

I mean its all just axis and buttons in a different configuration.

All true..just found it funny stashed in the middle of a thread describing the realism of AHs competition
