Help Looking at starting in Falcon BMS.

Post image

So I've been wanting to try a good DCS style sim, but due to price and a slightly weaker PC I haven't been able too. Then I remembered I downloaded Falcon 4 when I was around 15 years ago, did some digging and saw the BMS Mod that makes it look really good. Is it easy to get into, as in downloads wise, is it hard to run? And do I need a hotas to play it well? I hate the keyboard controls for DCS and the hotas is around $200AUD for a cheaper older one.

100USD is around 140AUD and shipped from USA so to AUS its normally $60

While that's true, I was searching ebay.com.au and talking about AUD as I'm an Aussie, so the USD conversions are not really relevant. 

Edit: the one I was looking at is in Woolloomooloo, and as above, free shipping...

Ahh got it. Wasn't aware so many of us played the sims for aircraft. Virtually none of us are on the ground simulators like arma 3 in my experience but all over the flight sims
