Way to go Zak!!! [;)]

You will have two free planes, the Su-25T and the P-51, I STRONGLY suggest you try the Su-25T first! The P-51 is a beast to tame even if your a avid pilot!

Even my girlfriend fly´s the Su-25T, here´s a vid of me teaching my girlfriend [:D]...

Just give me a call (PM) if you need any help Zak!

Yes Rosseau, but with a different graphics card (Zotac GTX 660 2GB), just updated to a Zotac GTX 1060 6GB a week ago.

Okay Red, thanks.

I have more than enough computing power but my Nvidia 7450 is weak. Enjoy your new card!

Thanks, I have installed the free DCS 1.5 yesterday to give it a try. But, the SU-25 is very simplified. Just have to press three buttons for start-up:
1. power the plane
2. close the canopy
3. start the engine

On the other hand, the TF-51D is much more detailed and nice to discover.

Yeah, these are simplified models. You can buy the P51D as a seperate module which is more advance, with a advance flight model. Same goes for the Su25, either get the FC3 (Flying Cliffs 3) module, or the seperate module of the Su25. The A-10A included in FC3 is not the same as the A-10C module! If I remember correctly, the airframes included in FC3 have NO clickable cockpits, all is done via keyboard! Although the F-15 VC (Virtual Cockpit) is beautiful!

Also, make sure you have selected "simulation" mode in the options, and not "game" mode.

As a side note: PFM (Pro Flight Model), AFM (Advanced Flight Model), SFM (Standard Flight Model), these are key words to look for when buying a module!

The paid models is were the good stuff is at, that´s there sales layout, but at least you can try it out via the free DCSW.
Happy flights!

Thank you but this game is too time consuming, I can not spend the hundreds of amazing hours that I put to sink the Yamato.[;)]

I have never agreed to anything more in may life![&o] It's ridiculously too time consuming.
That's about it. Have a good day

It depends on what you like...

War in the West/East, Pacific War AE aprox 300+ pages of manual, about the same for any advanced airframe manual, be it DCS or Prepar3d/X-Plane. That´s why they call them study level airframe add-on´s [:)]

I happen to like/enjoy/study both worlds [:D]

Just a teaser of my next study aircraft...
