DCS is the only answer.
The free SU25 is good enough to get your feet wet with. Get the F-18 if you want a semi modern experience that is very combat effective, or get the F-14 if you want something that has a more manual feel to it and takes a lot more flying skill. |

I have a cad over-spec PC, so I have the hardware.
I don't plan on really getting into it, just something here and there when I need stress relief. What are the basic costs of this "free to play" DSC? Looks like you buy your plane and then a campaign or two? |

Flight Gear. Very realistic flying. I know they have some WW2 planes, but unsure about combat.
If not, it is Free/Open software so you can make it have combat if you want. |

DCS is the answer as previously said. Pick one or two aircraft to start with because you’re going to have to spend some time learning how to operate it and especially the weapons systems depending on how modern you want to go.

What are the basic costs of this "free to play" DSC? Looks like you buy your plane and then a campaign or two? DCS has a somewhat steep learning curve for the modern full fidelity aircraft. All the switches and levers, etc are modeled after the real aircraft, as well as the systems and subsystems, at least to the extent that they can be on the computer. Some people may be overwhelmed/frustrated by it. It's an awesome game but it may not be for you if you aren't willing to learn everything about the airplane. |

I love dcs. Have most of the modules and maps but the jf-17, new channel map, c101, christian eagle. I will eventually get the channel map and the jf-17. If you dont want to take the time to learn the advanced modules you can always do the fc3 aircraft. Dtill feel good but much easier to learn.

Quote HistoryQuoted: DCS DCS is bullshit. It's unnecessarily complicated for what it is, control-wise and it's just simply not that much fun. I've got a complete, sit down cockpit in my "man cave" and DCS is just shitty. What you need is Ace Combat 7. You get the shooty-shoots in, upgrading planes/buying planes with in-game rewards, etc. Fuck..you want to fly another plane on DCS? You're PAYING REAL MONEY for each decent plane that you want to fly. The controls are not complicated and you'll have a lot of fun. |

I would love to try DCS but don't have the rig. BMS is all I can fly currently as my old sims won't run on Win10
 I have watched many DCS vids, and while the graphics are killer, some systems seem simplified or less complete than BMS (specifically the F-16).Get a HOTAS of some sort. I'm still using my old Cougar, with many mods/repairs, ie Hall Effect sensors. Homemade TrackIR. I'm a cheap bastard. |

IMO Falcon BMS is a better experience than DCS, although it's graphically dated and limited to the F-16 (you can fly other aircraft but they all have F-16 avionics). Falcon's dynamic real time campaign is what has people still playing it over 20 years since release. And you get to bomb best Korea

DCS.
But I ordered the F-35. Then I couldn't download it because it wasn't ready. They said to try back in a month. A month later they said it wasn't ready yet but for another $20 it would be ready next month for sure. This went on for a few months, each time i sunk in $20. Finally I was able to download a copy. But half the weapons were not available. That cost another $20 and several months. Then I find out the version I bought was not combat capable, WTF? So for another $20 and another few months waiting I got the combat capable version. Now it seems to work. But it only runs about half the time. It was initially $35, but I've sunk about $8,700 into it. UGH. |

Quote HistoryActually this is the sneak preview of the upcoming razbam f15e... And OP stay well clear of the harrier, m2000, and mig 19. Turd world quality for first world prices. The gazelle is shit too. F18 is probably the best thing currenly going for modern bit its half done, f14 for a lil older school and mostly done. Jf17 Mig21 or viggen if you want something different. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The Heatblur F-14 is amazing. I've been flying the turkey a lot, She's a bit intimidating at first because you can pull the wings off, but once you get the hang of it, it's a monster. Easily the best module of the game. I hope they do a D model someday, or maybe the sparrowhawk hud for the B model. The lack of a useable hud is the only downside to the entire aircraft IMHO. |

You can fly the flaming cliffs aircraft without worrying about most of that stuff, and most of the high fidelity sims also have a game mode that removes most of that complexity. The FC3 F15 is ok to fly if you just want to fuck around. |
