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?

Just wondering if there is any free Aggressor content for the A-4E, F-15C, F-5E, F-16 or F/A-18? I'm not sure if you can search files by file name, I only found a Viper skin when searching the term 'aggressor'

Anyone?

Cool, will have a look at all that new info at some point

cheers

No i dont, its a shame you just cant set views to a toggle or hold depending on your needs

cheers OK dumb question but how do i install these? I put them in the Liveries folder but they dont show up ingame

Just seen a video on this mod and noticed a Royal Navy FG.1 model/skin, can anyone link this for me?

Cool, ill give that a try, but i dont know why the tutorial didnt mention this

So im following all instructions, got to just before the runway and the instructor says to set my wing sweep to auto, but nothing happens when i click the button assigned to my hotas and the keyboard command i created to test it. I did notice the manual sweep lever was all the way back but moving that (and closing the cover) didnt help either. Now ive probably missed something but as Im following instructions im not sure what ive missed EDIT: I also had a issue during the cold start tutorial where clicking the right engine crank did nothing...are there issues with the Tomcat training missions?

So I have a Warthog with the analog stick mod as was wondering if there was any way to use this to control Jester? As far as I can see you can only assign to an 8-way hat and as the Tomcat doesnt have MFDs in the front this analog stick is going to waste
