Yeti42 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Hello everyone, It's been over 2 years since I've "played" DCS, after catching a glimpse of the F18 and upcoming Tomcat, I dusted off my rig and spent the next week trying to get it back in a playable state. I'm basically wondering what's changed and which new modules to shell out my well earned cash on.... So I've purchased the F/A 18 and the F5E to add to my stable and also also purchased all the new terrains. I've realized 1.5 has been deprecated and everyone is now on 2.5 which has a new graphics engine. My main question is how are the old beta versions of the Hawk, Mirage etc shaping up and are there any monumental changes in functionality between 1.5 and 2.5 apart from the sweeter more efficient graphics? I could probably go through all the change logs to find out but I can't be a#$%d.

One of the major new features of DCS is the support of VR. Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Varis Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) Hawk has many issues but the aircraft is extremely capable. Harrier is better and Razbam has added resources to fix it. Viggen and Mirage would be two of the first picks. And Persian Gulf.

Yeti42 Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Yep, I bought the Hawk way back and wasn't that impressed although it was an early version... IMHO. Mirage I also have already, can't remember if it was a PFM though, I've decided to stick with PFM modules from now on.
