Why resist?

Why resist?

It's a sport :)

And I have too many planes I bought and didn't fly enough.

Thank you JH for those links and how to find the other planes. If I have time this weekend I may just dive in to check some of those planes out.

I've been giving some love to the FC3 aircraft just for a more relaxing change of pace and I've been running through some great training missions for the F-15C.  Next I'll probably pull some time in the Mig-29 and then maybe focus on the SU-25, which I've actually always thought was a pretty badass aircraft.

Any of you guys ever dabble with the FC3 airframes?

What is FC3 precious?

Flaming Cliffs 3. It's an old lower fidelity module that has the SU25, Mig29A, A10A, F15C and SU-33. No click able cockpits. Just simpler controls and avionics with somewhat older textures. Not of the quality of the high fidelity modules, but still enjoyable and totally worth having. These aircraft predated all of the full fidelity modules but have been improved over the years.

I enjoy the FC3 aircraft as well. 

Really, the appeal of DCS for me is the Soviet gear.  I've been flying simulated F/A-18s, F-14s and F-16s my entire simming life.  The Soviet stuff not much at all. 

Having said all that, I'm not proficient in any of them.  I don't find the HUD on the DCS MiG-29 and Su-27 intuitive at all.

I enjoy those. Probably because I'm too dumb/lazy to master the higher fidelity planes :)

While I'm awaiting my motion solution, my cockpit continues to evolve. I know its total overkill, but everything is at my fingertips and it is very comfortable.

Do you need a new chair? Looks like the arms are wearing out.

I'm picking one up in a few days...

[Gusington]

Ha I should've known.

[Dammit Carl!]

Lordy.   :D

[Toonces]

That's pretty slick, man.

Very nice JH!
