The discussion about Controllers in DCS can be found in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PtubZDFbpzQ.html This video includes only tests and observations. Feel free to jump straight to the conclusions [09:55].
In your opinion, right now what's the best use of DCS? Of course different people like to do different things. But for you, what's make you entertained in DCS?
DCS is a great study sim. Unfortunately, depending on the type of gameplay you are looking for, more or less editing/scripting is required. For instance, the AI needs a lot more depth; even a new dynamic campaign would be rather pointless without such improvements beforehand. Personally, I have zero time to play, I mostly study and test nowadays. Hopefully, in a few years, I will be able to go back and fly again :)
People complain about Cold War. People complain about WWII. People complain about Modern. Why don't we all just agree that DCS is lacking overall and in general kind of sucks. Maybe try and get ED to actually put in work instead of just try to squeeze money out of the players.
