CB77Don246 Posted April 15, 2023 Posted April 15, 2023 Well I downloaded the free version and unless you want to fly jets then I would say stay with Great Battles in my opinion DCS is a over priced for what it is. A BIG NO NO FROM ME. Get the AI right in GB and it is a winner.
Trooper117 Posted April 15, 2023 Posted April 15, 2023 Have you tried the WWII aircraft? Have you flown some of Reflected's WWII campaigns?... they are absolutely brilliant. If you haven't, you can't really pass any kind of worthwhile comparison can you. 2 3

A BIG NO NO FROM ME. Your loss. DCS is an essential tool in any flight simmer's bag. I tried most of them and DCS/LOMAC has been on my computer ever since the LOMAC demo was released, around 20 years ago.
CountZero Posted April 15, 2023 Posted April 15, 2023 biggest problem of DCS is lack of focus on one single area, but there is nothing els to compete with it so they dont even have to try that hard and will be more popular then GB was or will be, i just have it so when i wont to fly jets or P-47 that behaves like P-47 from books, or to shoot at B-17s... waiting for some PTO stuff to show up. Still spend more time in WT tanks then in DCS do.
Jaws2002 Posted April 15, 2023 Posted April 15, 2023 (edited) I stated flying the FW-190's in DCS quite a bit lately. I'm having tons of fun. The A8 is quite a dog in DCS, thx to weird anemic engine, but the D9 is fun. The P-47, in DCS, fells like a butterfly. Edited April 15, 2023 by Jaws2002

You can try any of the planes for free, try the WWII fighters, no comparison to IL2 ,its a simulator where Il2 is a game, if you want a game then choose IL2, DCS its lots more realistic and fun to fly, maps are beautiful too. Il2 is better in VR limits and pilot physiology that is all AI both of them suck MP 4YA its very fun server, immersive and populated. FM, DM, Systems modelled weather and maps are great. 1
Guest deleted@83466 Posted April 15, 2023 Posted April 15, 2023 Lol, was this supposed to be a question, with poor punctuation, or was it just a jab at DCS? Sorry it is too expensive for your budget. Some of us are looking for top notch, hard core flight simulation and not evaluating our enjoyment by how many simplified aircraft one can get per dollar. BTW, you might have noticed that there is already a DCS thread.

Or even a better helicopter sim of any kind? DCS is what it is. It has its merits. It has its flaws. We are fortunate to have it amongst the very limited choices available to flight simmers. Choice is good.
SCG_Tzigy Posted April 15, 2023 Posted April 15, 2023 I also think DCS is pretty awesome I just wish they reworked the German cockpit colors that are absolutely awful and overall colors actually I have a lot of trouble getting right with my monitor. I have to say there is something about il2box, however I just keep coming back to. it does not have to do w the flight model or damage or ai, it's just the feel down low and I think honestly the scenery overall looks better/more natural to me on my 4k monitor... I can't wait for the Normandy2, though, I think it's going to kick arse

This is one of my issues with the DCS German planes. The developers said that German economy was in the crapper, that's why their cockpits look like they were made out of waste sheet metal. I think it has more to do with the "restored" German aircraft they have in that Monino museum in Moscow. The colors are all washed out, looks like the metal wasn't even painted. The weird thing is that they modeled the A8 cockpit ugly and all banged up, like it was made from junk yard in May 1945, yet the engine power settings are from early A6. What's up with that. 1

MiGCap Posted April 16, 2023 Posted April 16, 2023 For the Dora: I suggest 1. load the new 4k textures by Doughguy. Not only skins, but real retexturing. The bird look awesome afterwards. FW-190 D9 4k Retexture by Doughguy (digitalcombatsimulator.com) 2. and load the cockpit made by Pato – much better instruments, real colour, writing as it was originally pre-1945. Pato's FW190D9 Cockpit Mod with reworked instruments (digitalcombatsimulator.com) And it is a completely new feeling. I put the Kurfürst und Anton aside now. 3 1
