Anyone? I get paid tomorrow and want to know what to get

Ok so is there anyone that has used both 30fps and 60fps webcams?

Been watching a few videos about Opentrack and AItrack and some say get a 60fps webcam and others say 30fps is enough. What is the consensus over here? Can I get away with a dirt cheap webcam with 30fsp or do i need to shell out a bit more for 60fps? EDIT: also one video says I just need Opentrack another says i need Aitrack as well...im confused

Woot, thats my reading material for a while Are we any where near getting a release date?

Any news on the manual?

Just seen Growling Sidewinder's video but I cant seem to find a link for the mod? Hopefully its just my google-fu failing me

Just wondering, I know people are asking about other versions of the F-4 like navy or RAF versions (I would kill for an RAF K or M) but will it be possible at some point to give us the upgraded F-4Es such as the F-4F ICE, the Kurnass, Peace Icarus and the Terminator 2020 to let us fling some AMRAAMs from our Phantoms?

I've been watching a lot of Growling Sidewinder's Apache videos and noticed that he almost never comes to a hover. Now is this due to the desert environment where there are no trees to hide behind or does current Apache doctrine discourage hovering to avoid getting shot down?

Can someone please link me to the latest version of the mod so I know I'm getting the right one?

As a back up, if anything (god forbid) happens to ED I will still have access to the modules I have paid for on Steam

Just checking, I know the ED and Steam POs come later but will the Steam PO come before the release? I know Steam is the Red Headed Step Child of DCS and gets everything last but its where I buy my modules then transfer to use on Standalone

Aah cool, thanks, but I was talking about the one for the module that is tailored more to the sim than the real aircraft manual....but i will give it a read though

Ok so I have been putting off diving fully into DCS, despite buying several modules recently, the sheer complexity of the modules and the dedication needed to actually study the manuals have put me off a little. But, with the Phantom being my all time favourite aircraft, the fact this this is the FIRST proper combat simulation of this aircraft (f15, F16, F18 and A10 have had loads of sims over the last few decades) and the inclusion of the in-cockpit manual and control identifier has actually got me excited and looking forward to diving into this endeavour. I just hope we get access to the manual early so I can study up before the module releases

So we can familiarise ourselves with it before we fly?

Well i think I will buy both, I do see that most say the Hip is the best to learn on but I have no real connection to that chopper like i do with most of the others in DCS and I do think having a connection or real interest in the module will help you to learn it,

The MI-8 cockpit looks way more complex than the Huey/Gazelle, doesnt that make it harder to learn?

So i bought the Apache in the last sale but realised I have a lot to learn when it comes to flying realistic helicopter sims. And I know I could stick with the Apache but both the Huey and Gazelle are half-price right now so i wondered if it would help to get and learn the basics of heli flight with a simpler helicopter before going back to the Apache I am leaning towards the Gazelle as I am a Brit and it would make sense to learn that before the Apache like the British Army does...or is the Huey better for noobs in training?

Oh I dont mind keeping asking but I just wanted to know if there was even a point to asking. There is no point asking for something if ED cant do it. Have they ever said anything on the ease of produce thise modules?

I suppose the info given out was very sudden and not all that clear. Plus, removing choice from the customer, or suddenly forcing them to jump through hoops to make that choice doesnt strike me as good business practice

We keep asking for these but I would like to know if it's even feasible? Is it a simple upgrade of existing assets or a 2 year process making each plane from scratch? I would love a full fidelity A-10a to partner the C and the 2 Flankers

Just to clarify, I have bought all my modules through steam, linked them to standalone and play only on standalone (I want them on Steam as a back up incase the worse happens to ED). So, if I unbind my steam account will I only be able to play modules bought direct from ED on my standalone or is it just that you cant have access to both Steam and Standalone at the same time? Because if I have to rebuy all the modules again after unbinding then that is not acceptable

Or is it just me that wants this?

But why is it different using the FC3 modules? They both have flight models and avionics that a mod will use

Just wondering if it's possible for ED to do a GoG and sell their old Flanker Sims here on the site? Maybe with some tweaks to ensure they run on moder pcs. Or are there issues with ownership/publishing rights?

Just wondering why some mods, like the f22, don't replace modules but others, like the f-16 sufa, do? Why can't we have multiple mods of the f16 or others?
