Hi Len,
We went on the grim reapers server, we were just trying to find a server to
start practicing, some training and learning. As we did not want to host our
own as that takes our own pc resources up when we really need them for VR.
So we are on the look out for servers to pick for the training/learning at the
moment. The servers we are looking to go too once up to speed will be SoW for
WW2, 104th for F18, Cold War server for F86/F5, Korea for F86/Mig15, so quite a
few options.
Must admit “I” needed a new challenge, and I am lucky that Witch does not mind
trying other sims out. As much as I like IL2, the map scenarios, the ease in
which to shoot down the enemy, which lets face most are gamers no matter which
side they fly on. I think we have got into a position through learning and
training hard, fighting is easy.
I am not saying I am not going to stop playing IL2, but the WW2 aircraft in DCS
are relatively easy to learn(just a slightly different FM) same with the F86/F5
if we want to go down that route. The F18 is the challenge especially weapon
systems.
The key thing for me is the Quest 2 going a great job with my system in VR it’s
well playable. I also liked the way DCS has done the clouds so much better than
IL2 and not a frame rate killer, especially in VR. On the SoW server you can
escort B17s flying at 230000ft going to target, it’s a high altitude fight,
etc, on both sides.
On the 104th server you have got what ever mission you fancy, CAP, SEAD,
interdiction, etc, for the F18.
I think with IL2 at the moment it is the same all the way through, no matter
what aircraft you fly.
Will give it a try and see where it takes me lol. Mossie out soon ;).

Hi Colin
Which server were you in?
I'm glad you're enjoying DCS, it is the premier military sim even if the maps
don't really lend themselves to WWII and the terrain can look a bit plastic
after flying in MSFS 2020. But it's still nice to actually have cockpit and
systems management instead of the 'hit one button' approach.
