DCS WORLD - Top 10 Things You Should Know

1st thing you need to know is that you better have alot & i mean alot of money to even think about getting into this ridiculous game for millionaires only. This game is a real high price to play if you want to get involved, plus no-one to help you, you are on your own, it takes depending on how smart you are & lucky skill level it may take you up to a year before you can do anything with the jet you PURCHASED.

should give me a free f-16 fr

When does the (insert current module here) release?

BLUE ANGELS!?

Diese musikalische Untermalung ist einfach nur geil, genauso wie dieser Simulator. Big Love😍

do you have to complete the campaign to fly the plane in free flight mode?

awsome video... i love this sim so mutch... this bring me back to my childhood back to my deam 😎

"controller setup is a breeze" yeah sure dcs

I wish I could learn this.. I just don't think I'm clever enough to do it 😔 I tried the f/18 full fidelity trial and I just can't get it to sink in

can you play DCS offline?

What means "If you are nutidy see as world"?

Setting up controls are not a breeze in my opinion

I don’t really get the point in trackIR because if you want to see behind you, you won’t be looking at the screen

all you need to know is that you need to pay for planes

Its about thought with technology not technology with no thought everything we create with hand or mind has a aspect of thought now thought is no longer apart of technology making tech do game on and technology going to spank your ass for the oversight lol all in fun 😉

What kind of specs do I need on a pc to play dcs world I am a long time warthunder player and I play on consol but I want to get a pc for stuff like this so if anyone has advice it would be appreciated

So, you have a "Free" game to download, but to have more "Elite" aircraft one could spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars to acquire them. Does that sound to be correct? And don't get me started on maps.

👍👍👍

The prices for buyable Jets are an absolute rip-off. Daylight robbery... Just one jet costs like the price of x2 AAA games!

Really pretty and impressive graphics. Well done DCS!!!👍👍

pls make lill more free planes

I would love to see this on the PS5 VR. OHHH I will be downloading it on my pc. Eeek

One question. Is DCS World safe to download?

1: Saying you don't need a HOTAS for DCS is like saying you don't need a mouse to use windows. Yes..you can play without one - but you will hate yourself.

2: 'Beautiful' VR. DCS is quite unoptimized for VR but I do at least see this improving in the future.

3: TrackIR or some form of head tracking goes back to my point 1. After you have any amount of experience at all you will want head tracking of some form or forever be at a disadvantage.

I could go into deeper detail but someone on marketing was being quite disingenuous with a lot of this. Don't say this to knock ED. Just know anyone who is interested there is or at the least WILL be additional investment required after you get into it.

This might sound dumb but is there anyway to do IFR Cross country flights with ATC control and working NAV aids and needles? Be awesome to do some scenic VMC approaches or some IMC radar trail. Would also love to do some low level navigation on here.

I wish this game was on console so bad

I love this game, hopefully I can become a pilot in real life so I can fly there amazing aircraft in real life!

DCS world is the mohommad ali of SIMS .
Best in the world

Got a really good gaming PC last month, got my oculus 2 connected. Downloaded this last night, saw a video yesterday. Did the start up and take off for the free plane this morning. Took my breath away.

Biased game , I unloaded my Mgs on a P47 and not going down...I lock my Fox2/Fox3 and they never hit the target , they always get my no matter what I do ..manuvers flares , everything ...very promising game but still it is broken


It ditched it , Microsft flight sim is the one to go

is there freeroam in this game?

is it the same as the steam edition?

You need to take the sound track off of this vid.

Or lower its volume.

Or use less frenetic music.

Its just too loud over the level of the voice.

My humble opinion

How big is DCS world? Is it real world based similar to MSFS? Can I fly anywhere in the world?

I dunno, I tried it but it just didn't click. Probably because with my life I don't have time to spend trying to memorize every button and develop the muscle memory to play the game the way I'd like. I've never fathomed using a keyboard for a flight sim so I researched controller options and found that the video to set up a controller for the game is an hour long with pausing and troubleshooting in-between and after 2 hours messing with it I realized I just don't have the time or patience to set it all up. Let alone the disposable money during covid-19 to go out and buy the proper hardware to enjoy the game the way it's meant to be enjoyed. Then once I pay for the plane I want which is the F-15C I'm gonna have to take hours to go through the set up all over again with that one before I can even use it and I might lose interest again before I can actually enjoy it and I don't have a disposable income like that unfortunately. It seems cool and if I had the time I could really get into it but holy crap, just getting what you need and setting it all up takes so long you wonder if it's worth it in the end. It's like it's designed to get you invested in getting it all going and then exploits that effort you put in investing your time and money with micro-transactions. Keep in mind if a game is free to play there is always a catch and some developers are smarter than others at how they lay their groundwork. I really thought this was an honest to goodness flight simulator for people to enjoy but getting into it I sense it's only for people with deeper pockets and more time to spare than the average Joe. I get that the game is meant to be more of the real thing, but it's also advertised as a user friendly video game of which it absolutely is not and this video is bogus for saying it is. It shows all the features and how cool they are but doesn't specify it may take you weeks of research and study to learn to use any of them properly. Unless you have a friend to teach you DCS there's really no appeal to playing the game, it's just work. lol

At the end of the day if it's for you, more power to you, play the game. I just feel people deserve to know what they're getting into first and this video doesn't cover any of the cons about it. It's just like tennis or Golf, you have to commit to this game financially and mentally. If you don't think you can or have the time for it, don't try just to be disappointed and butthurt like myself. lmao

Have been debating whether or not to d/l and get a HOTAS. I've played Ace Combat throughout the years but want to get into Sim and play with other people. Just learned about this form a friend today. Was worried that I'd be WAY behind the curve but this seems beginner friendly. Is it east to find a community of people to fly with once you join?

This game is beautiful. I would say it has the best game graphics.

What devices can you play this game on?

DCS crashes to the desktop for me. I'm not able to create an account on the forums page because no matter what my answer is to the challenges. It isn't right and I'm forced to try again which,, yup you guessed it WRONG AGAIN! TRY AGAIN!

Bro the dlc is rip ass dear i know its reallyr realistic and alp but no single aircraft warrants a £65 price tag and thats just for the plane itself then u have to buy the upgrades to it then the story for that plane like its a bit much for the entire a 10 warthog set it could set u back easily £100 its a bot much

you also need a killer gpu to play it otheriwse it lags A LOT

Steam or download from website?

That music level... jeez

you forgot to mention how fucking legendary the trailers are...

is it free to fly as a co-pilot of a friend?
edit: (as in do you need to own the aircraft?)

Please, make ATC response for Emergency Landing. Waiting in a queue having Bingo and damaged aircraft doesn't feel realistic.

Just to mention you need 2500 euros to get all the aircraft
