I'm not sure how the controller that somebody uses has anything to do with the realism of the sim. I have had some knockdown drag out fights in IL2 with very good pile-its that were using game controllers and I think most would say that IL2s flight model is a bit more realistic then AH3.

Also I know that some use game controllers to control MFFs and radar modes and things like that. Some of the later model aircraft in some of these sims have pretty complex systems. The most advanced aircraft I currently have is the early model A4 skyhawk and I know with it's basic RWR and countermeasures that it adds to the overall complexity.

Speaking of complexity. Does DCS model the AN/APS-13?

A lot of people fly the Apache with joystick but work the front seat CPG with xbox.  Xbox controller is awesome inthe front seat.

It's almost perfect for the front seat. It even mimics the way the TDEAC is controlled somewhat.

I'm good with the Xbox controller in the AH-64D gunner seat but some folks want more. Different strokes.

I have s blow up doll named Ethel i put a boob job on. $14.95 all yours

Sadly, he was trying to sell it for the price of one month of AH. I'm guessing he has hit hard times as of late and has to decide between playing Aces and spending quality time with Ethel.

As long as he doesn't turn to OnlyFans.

Its funny how they talk about "realism" at DCS, but I saw a riddit post today on how to setup your xbox controller to fly the new F4u.  :rofl

You can do that in Aces High also

Yes The P51d and I think the P47(?) have it, not sure about the TF51 as it is also missing the K-14 gunsite and other systems.

Just like the real thing the ingame AN/APS-13 sux.

Thankfully that isn't modeled LOL.

I wonder if it will set off the RWR on a modern in DCS?
