Honestly that just looks way too complicated. It’s much easier to just copy and paste file names.

Well that’s the trouble, not the location. You’re asking for something that already exists, just it’s not being kept current like it should be.

It could hardly be easier Sure. Again really common sense stuff here. If anyone can’t figure out how to navigate a website or that they can use documents on their phone then what chance do they have of understanding the rest of the sim?

Right. I don’t know why there needs to be another spot. Although sometimes I notice these aren’t kept up to date. They should be. From the forums, tap on the image or logo at the top and it will take you to the DCS website. Then pull down the Doc section for the manuals.

To find the new IDs, in your new DCS install go to any aircraft and map a single button for each controller. you'll see files created like this: C:\Users\Yourname\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\Aircraft\joystick CH FIGHTERSTICK USB {2796EE60-F354-11ef-8002-444553540000}.diff Move these files somewhere else, then copy your old files to these locations. Using Explorer just copy and paste the new name onto the old files. If you're using modifiers they are located here: C:\Users\Yourname\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\Aircraft\modifiers.lua Go into the file with Notepad and replace this: local modifiers = { ["JOY_BTN16"] = { ["device"] = "CH PRO THROTTLE USB {2796EE60-F354-11ef-8001-444553540000}", ["key"] = "JOY_BTN16", ["switch"] = false,

Yeah basically all you have to do is, using Explorer, paste the new file name containing the new ID onto your old controls file. Very fast and easy to do.

True but that would require a very high res screen ie Apple “retina” level. Or a very small or far away display. At normal sizes and viewing distances even a 4K screen needs AA to remove jaggies. Most gamers use 1080p and 1440p. Not sure why this requires explaining as it’s all fairly obvious. Suit yourself but to me AA Off looks like hot garbage.

Turn off DLSS and use MSAA instead of DLAA. You shouldn’t need DLSS with a 5080

The right side you’re pointing at is the Fwd Aft indicator, not elevation. According to that tutorial, the indicator is green and turns red when you’re out of limits. Again I can see the red light in your screenshot, so how is that hard to see in the game? That’s certainly worth adding. The only nighttime AAR I’ve done with the boom was in the A-10C which doesn’t use the belly lights. Those flood lights would be very welcome in that situation.

I’ll take your word for it, I don’t AAR in aircraft that use this. What part of that is broken exactly? I still see the lights there in your screenshot.

Well that should certainly be fixed if it’s broken, then the graphic overlay wouldn’t be needed. It looks visible enough here although this was two years ago

Now you’re talkin’

nVIDIA is the stylized logo text. The written form of the name is Nvidia or NVIDIA.

I’m curious where all these different versions of “Nvidia” come from… nVidia? NVidia?

Not sure why you need the overlay when you can just look at the lights on the tanker. Yes they’re a bit dim but I can still see them clearly in this small screenshot. They appear well enough in this example
