Conuk Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Greetings all. A couple of questions if I may. Returning user from the days of lomac. Lots of life things have changed for me but find myself coming back to what's now DCS World. Wow does it look amazing. It seems I have just missed the sale. Can I ask if the sale is repeated regularly? Also I am torn between the FA18... F14 or the Harrier... I plan to probably get all 3 at some point but is there an easier learning curve for one or the other? Also I loved black shark so plan on getting another helicopter. Could you suggest another to get after the shark? Thanks for reading and congratulations Eagle Dynamics on DCS world and the modules. Wishing you the best for the future. ???? Hopefully I can ask a few more questions. Excited to be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted July 14, 2019 ED Team Share Posted July 14, 2019 Hi Conuk Yes ED do you regular sales, usually as each season comes in, we have just finished the summer sales. F-18, AV-8B, and F-14 are all great modules and it is a difficult choice for sure. I spend most of my time in the F-18. AS for helicopters again it is difficult to choose, I like my UH-1H personally, but the Mi-8 and gazelle are outstanding also. The blackshark will be getting upgrades soon, and we have more news on that in our news letters. Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Iberian Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Welcome back! No worries that the sale is over, because paying full price will allow you to support the developers more for their hard work on these wonderful aircrafts that they bring to us. Hope to see you in the skies! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldur Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Welcome back Haha I notice the rig in my sig has changed a lot since I was last here.... Better update that :) I wish I could see it still out of curiosity... The sims of today..... Ahhhh and to think I grew up with FA18 Interceptor on the amiga. Exciting times. That and Knights of the Sky were my first flight sims... you have to get the Hornet, the DCS module basically is it's 30th anniversary And you should get the Tomcat as well, wasn't on sale anyway. Oh, and the PG map, great scenario, worth every cent. As for the helicopters, I'd recommend the UH-1 and the Mi-8, but you should be OK with one of them, so you'd still have to make a decision. The Huey has nicer guns (minigun action!) while the Mi-8 has more bang with rockets and other stuff and IMHO it's easier to fly, but the Huey is more fun due to it being as simple as it gets. Probably the most "natural" and iconic chopper flying you could ever get. BTW on the sale, I really wonder when it actually ended (guessing something around 12 GMT). It's still Sunday the 14th, and especially in the US it's still rather early in the day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count von Altibar Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 F5 is the one I use the most nothing too complex and can A/A, A/G without much computer assistance. I highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conuk Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 Just set myself back up with some CH stick and throttle... Just sorting out trackir/equivalent.... Gonna retrain on the black shark etc then make my decision. Out if interest do people find the choppers better with dual sticks or complete HOTAS?
