It will be interesting to see how you proceed. My 8 year old mediocre I-3 Dell has been extremely reliable but I took a look recently at their gaming and Alienware rigs as well. Like you I have some older games I would like to keep working, specifically BoB2 and the old F1 Challenge 99-02. I'm only into season 2 on that game after owning it for about 15 years! I would like to give DCS a try at some point but it would be a "lite" install with just a few older jets that would interest me. Planes like the Mig-15, F-86, Mig-21 and F-5E. I'm mainly interested in checking out the DCS FM's so it would just be a study sim for me with a few basic single missions now and then. I really have to take a closer look at the specs to see what might be a minimal system for DCS.

I've been really impressed with the damage modeling on this plane.

Looks great! Can you tell us the type of radar or is it a bit generic. I was thinking it might be a ground controlled approach radar. [talk down]

I put this in the "What If" thread because: A. It's "somewhere over New Dhimar." B. Real fighter pilots wouldn't behave in such an irresponsible manner...................right?.................................

Dornil, here's an old link that may be of use regarding Dhimar and Paran. At one point I used this edit to make Dhimar and Paran flyable in campaigns but now I just use 4 new fictional countries two of which use the Dhimar and Paran insignia. https://combatace.com/forums/topic/52761-desert-campaign-no-foreign-powers/?tab=comments#comment-387822

New CF-5A_72 FM and cockpit mod attached. Some changes to the lift/drag numbers and I've removed the Sidewinder rails via ini edit as I can't find any evidence they ever acquired that capability except maybe the modified late versions that were going to be used as lead in trainers for the CF-18. Crusader sent me a different cockpit that has some gauges moved around to better reflect the CF-5A so that's included. The new cockpit also has new gunsight TGA's and I've added Crusader's "raise the viewpoint" cockpit mod that offers better over the nose visibility during landing. Use the thrust vector keys to make it work. Some other minor changes and I've added some info for calculating take off and landing speeds at various weights. See the readme for more and don't forget, USE FULL FLAPS FOR TAKE OFF and KEEP THE SPEED UP! Here's the beta 0.96 update: CF-5A_72update0.96.7z
