3 Commando Brigade

DCS - Training or Mission nights

WOO YES

Lets organise some s**t

tell ya friends

What, like, say ARMA?
You remember that game guys, the one 3CB members play?  ;-)

Thats the combined arms module, which I REALLY want

would be cool, having human JTACs etc etc.  Im waiting on the summer sale though (around 20th June)

So atm we have 

Reed
Frosty
Catchey
Batz
Howl
Rob

(possibly Ninja, Ivano, Wilcox, Null have to get them involved  )

count me in, downloaded dcs today but i dont have a clue what to do.

OK, so I didn't realise that this was free...until today...

...just had my first flight in the TF-51, pretty nice actually.

Flight model feels alright, stall behaviour seems accurate, good feedback on controls when at entry to spin; spin recovery seemed pretty easy although it could actually be that way in this trainer aircraft, and I didn't try an inverted spin yet, gulp.

Loops, aileron rolls, immelmans, split-s, all felt just like they did in IL-2 which I'm happy about. Glad to see pos/neg g effect on pilot is modelled, haven't tried ripping the wings off yet but presume you can.

Landed fine on second attempt, after remembering that the TF-51 didn't have a fixed undercarriage, enjoyed the flare and speed fall off which felt good.


So, some questions;
  Multiplayer - how smoothly does the system update the position of other players planes? what's the damage collision model like? ...I love flying close formation aerobatics
  DLC's - I only have the free DCS World. What do I see if I fly with others in planes from the DLC's?
  Is there only 1 map? How big is it? Is it real life?

My setup:
  Saitek X45 HOTAS
  CH Rudder Pedals
  TrackIR

Extensive experience in IL-2 (WW2 combat), FS9 (including some VATSIM) and other older flight sims that you probably never played.

Well as Apollo said it was free I started downloading it last night, so I will join in on this fun as well.

Thanks Reed, that's cool.
