All, A simple feature we would like to see added to DCS Server Selection is a checkbox called "Favorites Only". Having this box checked would ONLY query your favorited servers and not the entire list. This would cut down on queries and generally improve the 'quality of life' on the Server Selection page. Thank you.

I've done some Google searching and found a bunch of stuff, but I was curious what you all would recommend for someone learning the Radar in the RIO seat of the F-14. Buddy and I are giving the Tomcat a go and I'm looking for some quality information for him regarding the radar. We have checklists for engine start and alignment and they work well, now moving on to being more mission capable. Thanks!

Gents, in the MiG-21, what is the keybind for "SOD IFF off/on". I can't seem to find it anywhere. Anyone else have issues where the tooltip in the cockpit doesn't match what the switch is called in the keybind section? I just picked up the MiG-21 a few days ago and saw some weirdness. I had a hell of a time trying to find some switches in the keybind section. Thanks for any help you can send my way!

In the real jet, does the trim wheel have a detent for center that you can feel? I imagine there has to be so you can feel a bump or divot where the center is. Can anyone confirm or deny?

For the love of Chesty Puller, I thank him you don't speak for all Marines. I don't know where you Googled the crap you just spewed but everything you just said is absolute garbage. "Devil Dog" is not racist by any means and your accusation as such is appalling. The ONLY accurate part was a German word I've never even heard of, and it sure as hell never came up in OCS, Flight School, in the Fleet, or ANYWHERE else, EVER. Not once, not EVER have I ever heard any Marine, Enlisted or Officer say anything even remotely close to what you typed, and I worked with them for years. If you were ever under my command and I heard that absurdity, we'd have a nice little heart to heart chat behind our hangar and try and explain to you some of the finer points in life. If that didn't sink in, well I guess we'd have ourselves a little shake-n-bake, and that's not fun in the 110 degree Yuma heat. Punched in the mouth??? If you actually are a Marine, I suggest you button up that trap and never say what you just said out loud, ever. That's a great way to identify yourself as a Gomer and get you and your fellow Marines in some unwanted extra PT. 3 seconds of research on my end to figure out you're puking up Wikipedia info. Jesus, this is some absurd, ridiculous crap. Just stop it. For whoever it was that used Devil Dog, USE IT FREELY and ignore the above stupidity. Semper Fi, Marines.

You can bind them to whatever you want ya know...

That's awesome!

Has anyone built one of these to sell? I'm interested =)

Diamond 360

I've been working on a few: Splinter Draco Jr KTM - Dakar Best Tugs: Best Tugs 2:

Great video, I'm a fan of the CEII as well, doing a few liveries for it. NEVER EVER will I do camo again, what a HUGE undertaking to get everything to line up. I'm sure I could spend another 20 hours on all the little things that don't match up 100%. For the gents over at Best Tugs. Best Tugs for aircraft in the business!

One issue is the DDI always displaying trim errors.

Simple checklist for starting up your F/A-18 This is not real world accurate as it is missing steps, but it will get you up in the air...

Well done sir!

Awesome!

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar =)

No different than a smokewinder, you would just bind it to a key or a button on the stick or throttle.

Might I suggest: VMA-134 (Skyhawks) (My dad was the CO from Apr '79 - June '81. He was also in 211, 311, and 214 in Vietnam) VMA-214 (Black Sheep) VFC-12 (Fighting Omars) Thanks!

If you bind keys for the fuel pumps they are backwards. * The key binds for DC OPR work for ON * The key binds for ON work for DC OPR * The key binds for OFF work correctly I noticed this when setting key binds so the fuel pumps work with Voice Attack "Fuel Pumps ON" "Fuel Pumps OFF" "Fuel Pumps DC" Just a heads up.

Is there somewhere we can donate to the cause?

This works for me, setting my dekstop to 1080 allows me to click those buttons in game. Huge pain to have to change the resolution of my desktop every time I wanna play DCS.

Same issue here, and changing my desktop to 1080 works. How does this make it through QA?

Thanks Merker!

Really impressive skins everyone! I'm halfway decent with Photoshop and would like to give skinning a try. Can someone direct me to a good tutorial on how to bring one of these to life? I've already downloaded the F-18 PSD files and would like to try a simple paint scheme. Most of the tutorials I found are for the A-10 and I know the F-18 is an animal on its own. Thank you to anyone who can provide any information, I appreciate it! Here's what I'd like to try first:

I think the Gunfighter is on my short list of things to buy.
