Zius Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I normally run DCS on my PC, which has quite decent specs and runs DCS well, but is just a regular desktop. No VR, no home cockpit etc. Now I was thinking about buying a mid-range laptop (around E800 or so) and running DCS on it for the sole purpose of manning the RIO seat. The pilot seat would be operated from my PC. I think that, because looking outside is not that much mandatory, I can decrease the graphical settings quite a bit so DCS will run on the laptop. I have neither the space nor the money for another gaming spec desktop PC... Any thoughts or comments?

Zius Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 You want to fly both seats by yourself in multiplayer? I was thinking of my daughter flying with myself doing the RIO work, but I can imagine doing both seats myself occassionally as well. With ample use of the pauze button, obviously.:lol: Modules: Bf 109, C-101, CE-II, F-5, Gazelle, Huey, Ka-50, Mi-8, MiG-15, MiG-19, MiG-21, Albatros, Viggen, Mirage 2000, Hornet, Yak-52, FC3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The LT Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I have doubts a laptop is going to cut it, really. Maybe with an eGPU, but thats going over budget.

Zius Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 I have doubts a laptop is going to cut it, really. Well, that's the question... I do have another laptop lying here, maybe I should install DCS on it and try multiplayer with the TD-51 or the demo aircraft of the day. Pity there are no multicrew aircraft taking part of the demo...
