actually i am very keen on flight sim, got my HOTAS & got oculus Rift S for months.
but tried a while, not easy. The learning curve is steep.

you active on weekends on dcs?
Bro yes, indeed I'm active almost everyday for at least 5 hours each day. Mostly to try out all planes during free trials, and narrow down those that I would like to buy.

Thus far I've bought a few modules (F/A-18C, F-16C, F-5E, AV-8B, UH-1H, A-10C, FC3, Nevada & Gulf maps)

Are you playing in VR?

LOL can't give the good discount a miss, so better get now for those that I really like. Likely to get Christan Eagle, KA-50 & Mi-8 before the offer close.

I'm a DCS newbie as just restarted DCS last month (previously played LOMAC which was 8 years ago).

Currently not using HOTAS as I'm left handed, so got to use left handed joystick (T16000M).

Considering getting into VR but need to buy new PC and maybe HP Reverb or better VR headset. Currently playing with my Dell G7 with RTX2060, frame rate with high setting is between 45FPS to 60FPS, very much playable at this moment.

Yes I just joined Discord but don't know how to use it, I can't find DCS related info. Will search for you tomorrow. I'm there as Bronson.

What VR are you using right now?

yea fps on X060 is ok when not using vr lol

nah the discord is only for chatting with singaporean gamers or finding buddy buddy but apparently i'm the only one playing atm... i'm normally on hoggit discord for dcs info

struggling with carrier landing on the hornet atm -_- that final break is a pain

i'm using virpils.

actually i'm left handed too .. but it's way easier to use the throttle with the left hand because the tdc is there... better coordination. is your right hand more active?

Oh another lefties haha. Actually just 3 days ago I tried flying and landing an aircraft (C-101) with my right hand for the first time, the result surprised me, I could fly and land no problem. I thought I would crash and burn but no. Think I can get use to it and increase the response time of my right hand.

Wow Virpils looks very atas, must be very expensive! Am thinking to get warthog once my right hand is trained.
