The O' Club / Re: Simulated Aerial Combat Roundtable
« Last post by CptTrips on Today at 10:23:31 AM »I plan on spending a lot of time this summer learning the game. Gonna stick with very limited amount of free stuff (like the 51 and A4). Whenever I feel comfortable, I've got my eyes on the F-16
I really appreciate all of your inputs.
You might consider the F-5 also.
You might also try some of the servers before buying any modules. What they allow might color your choices.
And check first if what you are interested in has a trial period.
And wait for a sale.

To echo Fugi - Voice Attack is great, I don't use it for AH but I do for IL2 and it's a godsend. I too can see through the nose bridge area just enough to have an idea of where my hands are and most importantly pick up my beer/cocktail.

It's a free file utility for enabling and disabling mods. I turn them on only when using a free mod then I turn it off. The mods are not all standardized in their download format so you may have to do a little tweaking. That's easy once you understand the file structure for the mods. I have made videos on this. If you run into trouble sing out.
There are MANY instructional videos on everything DCS. Grim Reapers do some pretty good ones. They strike a good balance between thoroughness and brevity imo.
And when you think you need a little humility try the air refueling.

« Last post by CptTrips on Today at 09:12:40 AM »I'm going to be diving into all that maybe this afternoon. I start summer break next week, so that's when I plan on really jumping in. I'm just trying to get everything going. I know I want to download the free A4 mod. Are there any other mods, maps, missions, etc... that I should get. I just want to fly around in pretty planes for a little while offline before I get plastered in the pretty skies
I think Iron had it right.
Get the Marianas map (free).
Get the A-4 mod (free).
Get the Blackhawk mod (free) Worth giving a try to see if helo are of any interest.
Fly the free TF-51 to gauge FM differences between props and jets.
Take your time. DCS is a study sim. There is a lot to learn, just enjoy process. You'll get out of it it proportional to what you put in.
