  • DCS (Digital Combat Simulator) is the current and undisputed king of the combat flight simulation video game niche.
    There is not much I can say about the total awesomeness of that title that most of you would'n know already.
    Unfortunately, many of us don't have a NASA level PC to run DCS as it should or just can't run it at all.
    So, I made this video for people with a potato level PC like you ...and me.

      Falcon BMS does have only 3 advantages over DCS wich are dynamic campaign, ATC and simulated g-force damage to your A/G ordonance. Everything else is better in DCS, more study level aircraft, better VR support (in fact, DCS has much better perfomrance in VR than BMS has), proper radar logic with the radar truly scanning the area in front of you, while bms does only some voodoo magic to calculate if your radar should see the bandit or not, much better physics, proper infrared logic, carrier operations and much more. If you want to fly the F-16 and the F-15C exclusively, BMS is for you. For everything else, DCS is the way to go.

    I wish to see return of Thirdwire and revival of whole SF series one day, some people really can't work with DCS World, not because their pcs are weak but for its hardness, in Iran we have some sort of pilot schools for this simulator, one my friend flies with F-5 and F-14 and he says he passed multiple F-14 classes for two years like an actual air force classes.

    • @thejetfighter

    This is definitely a good option as a flight sim lite, with dozens of aircraft, modding community did some amazing things for it.
    The only bad information you gave is.... The developer actually stopped supporting this years ago. He still sells all the games in the SF2 series (at a ridiculous asking price in my opinion), but he hasn't supported them in a long time.

    • @thejetfighter

    Complexity takes the fun out of a simulation game. Even in real life aeronautics engineers always strive to simplify the controls and flight management of the aircraft so that the pilot does not become overwhelmed with actions he has to take just to keep the aircraft flying and able to fight.

    Thanks buddy, it was very interesting to listen, could you tell us about creating mods for LO2? (Namely the Su-30cm cockpit at the moment, as well as the planned mod for the Su-57 and the global mod "Vietnam"?
    And also, how about creating Russian subtitles? Do I have to pause the video and translate the text every time it appears? You can just take your text and paste it into Google Translate. (Can you do this as separate UA-cam subtitles or inserted into the video like now?)
