Digital Combat Simulator (DCS) Interface

Post by Gasman » 27 Dec 2015, 00:21

Ulrich,
Do you know if SPAD.NEXT could be used with DCS World? Use of the Switch Panel, Radio Panel, and FIPs within DCS would be incredible. If so, are you aware of anyone who is pursuing profiles for this.

thanks
Gasman

I was going to download my self, it looks very similar to FSX and P3D, but I didn't like the limited planes in the download and the fact you have to download in bits.

I gave up 1/2 way through the 2nd download.

So I would be interested in your opinion too.

DCS World 2 alpha seems a huge jump in quality, granted am a novice on DCS so maybe I've configured V2 better than V1 but wow.
Sadly am too busy configuring my setup for FSX to give it more than a quick whirl but my Warthog has been feeling very unloved of late so maybe a combination of DCS and SPAD.Next is what could make it feel special again :)
