Absolutely, an option might be to go into your input folder and just copy the files from a current aircraft of similar style. and put it into a folder of your making. Then rename the files like "Basic_Rudder_input.lua" , "Basic_throttle_input.lua" or "Basic_Flight_Stick.lua" Keep in mind, every Input device uses it's own file, Joystick, Rudder, Throttle, Keyboard, Mouse. Unless that has changed in the last few months. Then whenever you get a new plane you can load those files up with the basic controls and start modifying. On a side note, I keep an up to date, back up copy of all my input settings for each aircraft, just incase there is some issue and I need to re-install the game. I believe the correct path for the input file folder is this one: C:\Users\Your User Name\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\InputUserProfiles

It was cool seeing that Corsair.

Should look something like this. C:\Users\Your Computer\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\Aircraft\F-22A

I wonder how many F-22's are going to be flying around today, haha.

Yeah fair enough, I tried using my phone camera the first time over wifi with open track it didn't work very well. But with a normal USB web camera, AI track and Opentrack running it works surprisingly well. It did take a bit of work plus a few youtube tutorials to get it working right. I can look around the cockpit easily, push all the buttons. Use the Jester command wheel by moving my head around. Look out my canopy to track targets while turning with no lag. I think buying the "Web Camera" was the item I needed to make it work good. Again I don't think its as good as trackIR. But it was cheap and will hold me over till I buy TrackIR. Anyways cheers and happy flying.

Just a thought. If you have a web camera you can use something like OpenTrack and AI Track combined, to emulate track IR. It also works with the jester menu to choose your commands just by moving your head around. It isn't perfect, but it sure upped my game. I was able to get rid of all the POV switches to look around.

Np, and I would recommend the "OPEN BETA" version. There seems to be a lot more people playing it then the so called stable version.

Not sure if this is the answer you are looking for. I originally bought the A10 module on steam years ago. Just got back into DCS a few weeks ago. I ended up downloading the DCS open beta from the DCS site. Went to steam retrieved my CD key from my steam purchase through the steam library. Then input the steam key into my DCS profile page on their website. There is a box at the bottom left of your profile page, called license check and the plane transferred over successfully.

This one I think.

Just get it. You know you want to!

As a fellow Canadian, I was really hoping you were right lol. I would have bought it on the spot for $150 CDN Pesos.

Doesn't sound normal at all. I haven't seen that happening on my end.

Here is some examples of where you need to install your skins. with proper naming conventions. If you don't have the folders create them. "3900" being the name of your computer. C:\Users\3900X\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\F-16C_50 C:\Users\3900X\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\FA-18C_Hornet C:\Users\3900X\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\M-2000C C:\Users\3900X\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\f-14b Here is a further example with some actual skin folders added. C:\Users\3900X\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\F-16C_50\IAF F16C - 105 Squadron - The Scorpion C:\Users\3900X\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\FA-18C_Hornet\Canada - 409 SQN - Tan C:\Users\3900X\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\M-2000C\M2000 Ile de France Desert Storm v2.2 C:\Users\3900X\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\f-14b\VF-84 Jolly Rogers AJ200 (2000) Basically extract your skin folders to the plane folders that you will have to create. To find the correct naming convention for each plane look in these folders for future reference. The last folder being your reference. C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods\aircraft\F-5E\Liveries\F-5E-3 But do not install the liveries in your main game folder. Also if you are using the stable version of the game as opposed to the open beta version. The folder will be called "DCS World" as opposed to "DCS.openbeta"

Are you sure? I was looking at a Gladiator NXT Premium version earlier today. The price was $150US dollars, plus $45US shipping, plus import fees. So probably closer to $300 Canadian. That is off of the VKBSim North America site.

NP, and like the other poster said it's your money and your game, do whatever makes you happy. One caveat though, if you go multiplayer, you most likely won't see any f18's on a WWII type server. So if you happen to buy, say Normandy and a modern jet. Don't expect to be playing them together online. Cheers,
