We'll have to sort out a get-together after release to try some formation flying and maybe some dogfighting.

You're better off using the non-steam game really.

Well it depends. You could buy your keys on steam and they work in the standalone version, but no the other way round. The Standalone version is much more moddable, however, and given the high quality of the mods out there I think the advantage is with the standalone. Also, things come out earlier.

Bought the Sabre yesterday and I really like it, it's very easy to fly (probably the easiest of the DCS aircraft), and a lot of fun. This will probably be my prefered DCS aircraft for the forseeable future :)

The release also added the Sabre, Dora, Mig-15 and Mig-21 to the AI aircraft list . The Mig-21 looks superb.

Yes, it's VERY good fun to fly, more fun than the Mustang I think. Only real difficulty I have with it is taxiing, I feel like I'm drunk when I'm on the ground in that plane lol.

I was on the Reddit server last night, bunch of us were dogfighting, then we all teamed up to try and take down an Eagle. We didn't manage it!

Supposedly the Hawk will release this patch too, i.e. before 2.0 and EDGE.

I found it a lot easier to taxi if you dont let go of the nosewheel steering key.

Would anyone like to jump on a game and have a fly around, maybe some time this weekend? I'd be happy to host, assuming my PC can handle it. Would be nice to get as many of us online as possible!

That's cool, I mean you don't have to be flying the Sabre necessarily! No reason you can't hop on in the Mustang or such, doesn't have to just be a Sabre fly-in.
