I was very surprised at how quickly you soaked up all the knowledge and managed to really click with the content. I'm a VERY proud virtual Senpai and it was great teaching an eager student like you.

[@mackan072]

Not to take anything away from his learnings, because he has managed to pick up the game far quicker than any of the friends I've helped - but I assume that his prior experience with the VTOL VR game helped. Although not at the same level of complexity, it should still give some kind of framework and basic knowledge in many fields. A framework which you could then build on and help expand with your experience.

Hi Drewski and thanks for the support. Several of the DCS aircraft do have Oculus Touch interaction with the cockpit including stick, throttles, buttons, switches, dials, etc. This includes the free TF-51D. Thanks

[@griff3637]

"Just an AI" dude the AI in DCS is no joke lol

[@JETZcorp]

DCS AI are interesting. On the one hand, in terms of tactics they are total boobs with the intelligence of a calculator. In a plane that sticks out its chest and smashes people (Eagle, Tomcat, etc) it's not tooo hard to pin them against the ropes and make them an offer they can't refuse. But if you're in a plane that relies heavily on stealth and deception (Mirage, Flanker, etc) then you quickly discover that the AI have Godlike omniscience. Hiding behind a mountain? They see you. Firing a silent heatseeker into their blind spot? They react instantly. I like to think I'm pretty good in the Mirage. Online I can deceive F-14 pilots all day. I play them like the Raptors in Jurassic Park (you're looking forward, but the attack comes from the side). Against the AI that kind of crap doesn't work. He will see you, and Just. Keep. Coming. Very different experience.

For anyone getting into DCS or considering it, especially due to the price, the community is amazing and there is PLENTY of discord channels, that will welcome you into their wing and show you how to operate your module (aircraft). The DCS community is seriously amazing and you will never have a problem finding help or training, especially from a squadron actively searching for new players, so they can train them the way they want to fill roles they require! Yes, the sim is challenging, but very REWARDING! There is nothing like getting your first air kill or landing a bullseye with a dumb bomb. Most realistic sim out there, especially in VR (very demanding hardware)!

Do the wings still snap off when you hit wake turbulence from a kite? Serious question

[@JETZcorp]

@@jeepaholic326 It has improved a LOT since then. No more 8G airframe failures. Unless you fly it like an absolute orangutan, you'll black out as the pilot long before you rip the wings off these days. Most of my deaths in the Tomcat are a result of unconscious impact with terrain.

[@AnimarchyHistory]

As someone who has flown combat flight simulators since 3 years old (idk if Finest Hour on a 386 counts as a simulator) there is something about it. I remember my first conscious memory of it. “Rowans Battle of Britain” I swung in behind a JU88. I placed my gunsight on his left engine. And fired. Smoke... then fire. And down he went. I was six years old. And there it was. An air to air kill in simulator mode “realistic controls”. It doesn’t matter if it’s an AI. Your first victory on full simulator difficulty in a “real” environment is something special you never forget.

[@JETZcorp]

Welcome to the DCS community! As you expand and grow into further planes, I'd like to recommend the F-14 Tomcat and the Mirage 2000C. The Tomcat is a beast. It's big, fast, shoots huge missiles from one side of a small country to the other, and does not hold your hand. It's a vintage muscle car with wings. If you make a mistake, GROUND. You will become a better pilot by getting good in the Cat. It will grow hair on your chest, and your upper lip. Also, no shit, it has a CASSETTE PLAYER and its own album of Top Gun-inspired original music written for DCS. The Mirage is the polar opposite. It's a slick little plane with highly augmented controls, but without the heavy artillery. To get kills in the Mirage, you've got to out-smart your enemies. Hide from them, deceive them, get close. A successful Mirage pilot brings a knife to a gun fight, and wins. Learning this plane will sharpen your evasion and situational awareness skills to a razor edge. In my opinion, the F-18 flies like a cement truck compared to these two planes. I never really liked the 18.

The comment about "a thousand little things" that the teacher will be reminded in practice to share with you is dead on.

Hey Drewski! It's not combat oriented but X-Plane has (I think) the ENTIRE WORLD available. In VR it also supports motion controls (or you might need the FlyInside plugin, I'm not sure). There are many, many very near simulations of existing aircraft as well from the civilian world (the most notorious being the ZiboMOD 737, which is pretty much as close as it gets and completely free) _and_ it thrives on community created content, as you can find thousands of addon aircraft (who else is going to make them?), region sceneries (including very high detail satellite imagery, advanced autogen for trees and such and detailed terrain meshes), airport sceneries and plugins for better pushback, charts, AI or real world traffic, graphics post processing... It doesn't have public dev-hosted multiplayer servers but there are solutions for that existing and being created so that you can fly in the same aircraft as your friend as well as the massive multiplayer networks like VATSIM, IVAO, PilotEdge... You should definitely check it out if you ever want to get into civilian flight sim.
