Flightsim - DCS
Around 2 years ago I found an old joystick in my basement. Remembering the good old days of the C64 and Amiga 500 and the flight sims I loved to play back then, I decided to have a look what the market offers.
I was quite shocked when I noticed that in regards to combat flight simulations only 2 real options are available which offer some kind of modern fighter planes.
Falcon 4 and Digital Combat Simulator (DCS)
DCS is freeware and comes with 2 flyable planes, so I gave it a try.....
Now, 2023, 2 years later I have
- a self made joystick (force sensing with 24 button)
- a self made throttle
- OTS rudder pedals
- 2 Thrustmuster Cougar MFD Frames
- 7 Displays (main Display, 2 for the MFD Frames, 4 small displays for DTE and some other indicators)
- a self made F16-ICP
- a self made head tracker
and a lot of fun flying (mainly) the Block 50 version of the F-16.
