Thanks everyone for helping me understand a little better. I know it's a small thing but I wanted to learn to do things a little better.

I never knew if flashing vs steady should be one way or another when stationary during start up or when taxiing.

I'm thinking my question may not be a bid deal but I've been curious about the proper way to use the position lights. What's the correct or accepted way to set them for either flashing or steady? When are the anti-collision lights normally used? I'm aware it may not be a big deal to some, but if I can do it correctly then I'll feel better about knowing I may be improving in the DCS world. If that makes sense...

I can tell you what I do and realize there are probably better ways. After I've selected a target as you do I create a SPI at that location. Then I do china hat forward long. That slaves all sensors to the SPI. Maybe the press of the V key needs to be a long press, more than .5 a second?

I recently got the Thrustmaster warthog hotas and so far it does everything I've been doing before without keyboard modifiers. I'm aware there are some who think it's not a good hotas, but it works for me and I like it. Again I'm no expert just sharing my personal experience because I like this aircraft. 80 buttons may be possible but honestly I don't need that many for the weapons I prefer to use. And now I rarely if ever use the keyboard once in the air.

I used the exact same joystick for several months. I'm no expert but I'll share what I do. When I nose over towards the target I throttle down to control my speed. I don't think I've used the speed brake. I fire the gun in the 1 NM range and using the gun reticle with two dots. When the dots get close to each other I put the reticle on target and fire. I never changed the trim during a gun run. I don't have any knowledge about your camera view questions. I expect more competent A-10C II pilots to chime in and be more helpful.
