I don't know how many 600-page technical manuals you have written in your life, but please, do realize that it's not a difficult job to do... it's an INSANELY difficult job to do, even for professionals. Most of the information in the A-10 manual is correct, but there could be a few mistakes here and there. Flagging them is the best we can do.

If such projects are to come to fruition, the success or failure of these visions will depend on whether we have a sufficient amount of era-appropriate assets to create a proper theater environment.

Without Tempests or later variants of the P-51 and Spitfire... I don't think there is much point in having a Me262. And that's coming from a guy who would be absolutely delighted to fly a Me262 in DCS.

I think you're missing the point, Vampire. I don't think anyone is against improving an existing cockpit. We all want nicer, shinier things in our sim. However, I think Rudel's point is valid: there are much deeper issues with the Sabre than just the aging cockpit. The fact that there is no era-specific environment for the Sabre to operate in (at least aircraft and unit-wise) is part of the reason why the module's popularity (including the MiG-15's) has taken a nose dive for the last few years. Having a plane in itself is always nice, but I can't imagine flying any of my WW2 warbirds in a non-WWII setting. There has to be a proper environment for the aircraft to operate in, which is what Rudel is advocating for.

@impalor Check the version from yesterday (March 3rd 2021), the RWR symbology is updated.

Hi folks, I've been neglecting the Hornet for a few months now, but since I had a little bit of time during February I decided to pick up the slack and bring it up to snuff. I believe more features are planned to be released with the incoming DCS 2.7 version, but I think I'll wait a bit before including them. See first post for link. *** Changelog (4/03/2021): Re-arranged radar section Added GMT radar mode (with relevant Maverick tutorial) Added SEA radar mode (with relevant Harpoon tutorial) Added MGRS Grid Added new JHMCS section Added AZ/EL page functionalities Added Auto IFF Added ECM tutorial Added TXSG (Transmit-Designate) option Corrected Waypoint coordinate entry format Fixed multiple typos and errors *** The page count went from 540 to 620+ pages... but I know it will eventually keep growing as Eagle Dynamics eventually finishes the F/A-18. If you guys still have any suggestions, recommendations or corrections, please let me know.

Would love to if I had time... but I believe that Heclak and Wheelyjoe already created their own pdf guides, which are good. Wouldn't it be a bit like re-inventing the wheel?

Updated the Mirage RWS logic with RAZBAM's latest changes.

It should be coolie hat DOWN. The logic changed while I was writing the initial draft (before Coolie Hat UP would toggle between HUD SOI and HMCS SOI), and while I thought I had changed it everywhere I missed that one on the top of page 211. I'll have it fixed tonight. Sorry.

Private Messages or the forum boards.

@CBStuCare to elaborate? If I made a mistake, I'll gladly fix it.

@BIGNEWYAn even better solution would be to make these pdfs available in-game while you are flying... kneeboard-style. Ssomething like what ED developed for the P-51 Mustang when presing ESC. The official manuals are great. I still open up the Mi-8 manual from time to time.

Guys, let's keep things chill in here, please.

@C3PO Wow, that looks great! You might have to reprint it eventually as I update the Harrier guide with the latest features once they're ironed out by RAZBAM... but that's not for another few months anyhow.

I have the exact same edition at home. You're a man of taste!

A simulated auto-level for WWII fighters does not make sense to me. I understand such a need for helicopters where there is an actual use for it (multiple crew members and gunners). Auto-rudder or takeoff-assist aims to help players that do not have the required hardware (rudder pedals) to compensate for torque, which is understandable. However, for the specific feature of auto-level... just trim the aircraft! That's what those tabs are for. There is a difference between developing features for hardware or simulation limitations and developing features that play the game for you.

I'm afraid not, unfortunately. The best I can do for now is put revision dates.

A new overhauled version of the P-51 Mustang guide is now available! See first post.

A new overhauled version of the Spitfire guide is now available! See first post.

Huey guide has been completely overhauled on January 20th. Enjoy!

Y'a pas de quoi!

Tough to know. I think he meant a training campaign like the L-39 Kursant campaign or the Maple Flag stuff for the A-10. That's the answer that would make the most sense to me, since depriving players of the classic in-cockpit tutorial/training missions is pretty much akin to the devs shooting themselves in the foot.

A new overhauled version of the Huey guide is now available! See first post.

I think there are much more pressing matters to attend to on the DCS WW2 front than a trainer... especially since the environment we fly in is so barebones. IMHO we need stuff to shoot down / attack first.
