I voted No, however i appreciate RAZBAM interaction with the community gauging interests! Mainly because trainers and light aircraft do not interest me at the current time since their use in DCS is so limited; and even very specific and limited role in real world. An entire infrastructure would need to be made in the ground aspect of DCS to make COIN and light attack aircraft more intersting and actually useful. But right now, its not close to there. Would rather see aircraft being created that enhance current 'conflict eras' already released in DCS. More WWII aircraft!, things that enhance korean theatre, maybe start enhancing a vietnam era (Bronco maybe but probably would still need to be in the future). So many legendary aircraft that could be made in 60s, 70s, 80s that arent COIN light attack that have intersting roles. Just my short opinion. o7

Thanks you all for the replies and input. I appreciate it!

So i have lurked on the DCS forums for quite some time but i guess never made a forum account. I drool in this sub-forum quite a bit and people's work is outstanding. I am a current grad student with a wife who has control on my hobby funds until i am done with school so my funding is small to say the least. O and I am here in the US. So i got some money saved up and am wanting to start diving into sim pit planning. I've learned a lot in here and here are my questions if anyone would mind explaining to me: 1) It appears the first thing i need to get is a good USB controller. I see a lot of people using the UK seller LeoBodnar who's site looks great. Being UK though isnt as convenient for me with shipping. From what ive found and heard about this site http://derekspearedesigns.com/ is the US equivalent and where i should go for all my circuit board needs? 2) Assuming this is a good place to go. I have seen 2 different boards and am having a hard time understanding how to interpret the differences. ---http://derekspearedesigns.com/ ---http://derekspearedesigns.com/32-button-no-matrix-controller.html 3) For US stores, where do you recommend going for toggle switches, rotaries, push buttons ect? 4) Do you have a general electronics site or resource you recommend for understanding the SIM related electronic components/circuitry ill be working with? --------------------------------------------------------------- My plan is to start with a non A10 realistic set up for various cockpit switches to get the hang of it and tinker until i have a job/income to really get into it. I would LOVE to get a CDU going but that is a ways in the future assuming it costs a good amount. recommendations, thoughts, opinions?? Thank you, i really appreciate your time. o7
