Hi experts..
I have just upgraded my long overdue laptop, and now with windows 11 and quite a good spec, I thought I would try and get back into a flight simulator.
So after watching a few reviews and videos, I downloaded the much acclaimed DCS, which took most of my hard disk space, and found to be so realistic, I think I will need to become a proper pilot.
As I enjoy the thrill of the actual flight, including take off and landings, I remember back in the days of games driven by CD, there was a really good game called 'Combat Flight Simulator 3' which was pretty realistic, and not over complicated. And I was wondering if this game or something similar, is available, as a download for Windows 11. Something you don't need a PHD in just starting an engine.
I am not criticising DCS, obviously it is very good, but I feel it is for the fanatics who want to set their systems up into a simulated cockpit, for me I just have a joystick and a keyboard.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
