The new graphics engine in DCS 1.5 is so good, there are times when I'm looking at my screen and I can't tell a major difference between it and my last memories of flying, 15 years ago. It's that good.
It's also so realistic that literally every button and switch on that plane is operable (and must be operated), the systems work exactly like the real thing (modeled by real pilots who helped develop the game, which is why there are no classified aircraft in the game such as the F-22), and the views are so accurate that you can look around your cockpit like you're really sitting there-- if you have a new-model Oculus Rift you can even lean your head out the window of the plane!
I'm more into the modern fighter combat aspect of DCS, but the guys who enjoy the WW2 servers really seem to like them. I think I've posted it before, but as SOON as you get somewhere that has free WiFi or whatever, watch this one. It's some F-15Cs going up against some Flankers. Action starts around the 8-9 minute mark.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
