at the moment DCS (flying the Harrier) has been my main 'milsim' obsession, but ready to get back into the water!

Where the heck do I get the game now? I remember in the past I got it from a site I can't remember. Heard bad things about the Steam version.

Thanks all!

I got my copy on line from Ubisoft's website store. Paid 10$ for it. Single best purchase I never regretted.

I am trying to remember the name of the store i got my last digital copy from. it eludes me. it was nice because it was free and clear of any DRM from Steam or Ubisoft. I imagine they are out of business now.

what's the best mod to use now? I used GWX back in the day.

edit: found it. gamersgate was the site and it's still there. downloading now.

Sailor Steve get Wolfpack (too) and come join us! There are a lot of solid players who love the immersion and an old hat like you would be an asset to the community!

My copy is from the twin-pack (SH2 + SH3) I bought from a store spin-rack in 2006. I almost never touch download games, though that is slowly changing.

Sorry, multi-player is something I never do. As soon as I heard about Wolfpack I knew it wasn't for me. I've looked at some videos and they only reaffirmed my conviction on that.

That’s fair. Depends on whom you play with. Plenty of idiots in the main Wolfpack Discord but there is a core of players who are very into the role playing aspect and take it seriously. Think historical SOPs, German commands, etc. I had my share of doubts in that regard too, believe me, but I was smitten. I was a crewman on an armored vehicle in the Marines and the small crew dynamic, working efficiently, training etc really brought back good memories.

Not for me. I've tried all sorts of role-playing games and hated them all. That's the last thing I want to do on my computer, even with all good, friendly players.

I'm the same way. With DCS, everyone is always telling me I should be playing multiplayer. Have no interest in that, would rather just do my own thing.

Looking forward to getting back into the Atlantic.

Most of 'em do not take it seriously.
They are like kids with a toy pistol!
Never again! (unless I know the guy's well!)

If you like single player sci-fi stuff, the MASS EFFECT series, especially the first three... I'm in love with those games. Its like being the main character in a movie. Very heavy epic stuff. You can feel it as you play. Very well written and interlinked storyline (until the very last, and they've got a mod for that, fixing it.)


Just don't forget that you live here at Subsim, Sailor Steve. Its like mold. It grows on you and permeates. You can't scrub it off.
