Great story !  :notworthy:
There is a lot of ‘fiddling’ required when starting out with (combat) flightsims and most will also want a decent joystick, which raises the cost of entry.
Perhaps its self-defense for some, to not get involved, because you can quickly fall through the rabbit’s hole when you do start.
But you’re right; it needs a few hours of one’s time with every new aircraft you want to learn. No instant gratification .

Steam sale is on, lots of aircraft are 50% or 33% off.

I got the new P-47 and finally the MiG-21.

I'm considering the Jug, but I just never fly WWII in DCS.

I spent some time with the two, and the MiG is a blast, way more fun than the P-47.

P-47 is great if WW2 is your thing. Something about the smoke trails from 8 .50s that makes me want to spend 30 minutes flying it to get there.
Same with the F-86

But yeah, the mig-21 is a blast; especially if you like flipping  metal switches And looking at old-Timey displays. I love that old-ass Cold War cockpit and you have to fly it: no fly by wire. The mig 21, mig 19 and F-14 are my favorites to fly. Although I love the F-18 and F-16 for serious missions....I’m kinda getting a crush on the mirage: just so f’ing sexy.

But if you want to try something different for a change, invest the $ and a few hours into flying the Mig 21. I mean, picture the red glowing cockpit displays on a dark January night in a swirling snowstorm as you take off to intercept the imperialist B-52s. Yum

The most important feature so far is the ejection seat. Those stubby delta wings get me into trouble easily.

The inverted Soviet-style artificial horizon doesn't help either.

Guam is looking pretty enough to bomb.

Progress of the sim pit. Hopefully, winwing panels will arrive next week.
