What players say
Players call DCS the most realistic combat flight sim available, praising the detailed aircraft. But they warn newcomers about a steep learning curve, poor keyboard-and-mouse experience, and the need for expensive gear and paid modules. Some criticize poor optimization in multiplayer and conflict with third-party developers.
