Can anyone point me to a guide on the correct use of the RF mode (R shift + R) built into the SU-33, combined with the use of the autothrust (J) and the HUD when pressing L Shift + R to initiate the refuelling? I assume the RF mode puts the aircraft on a stable level flight while giving a HUD circle to chase all the way to the fuel hose basket...but does it just hold whichever heading and altitude it sees when pressed or does it attempt to match the heading and altitude of the tanker? When using J, sometimes the tanker slows to the set speed or maybe its the plane changing speed to match? Final question - any other aircraft in the FC3 packs have airborne refuelling capability?

8-way hat is pretty essential to bind to aircraft trim. I have a Hotas X and use the buttons on the left throttle stick for flares/chaff, toggle thru nav modes, select D (ordnance) or C (guns) and one for F10 map view. The rest will become more obvious as you play and learn and develop own preferences (I'm still quite new to DCS)

Very new DCS fan here - I've been immersing myself in youtube videos while waiting for a new PC build before plunging into DCS world, turning my back on my old Mac. I see there's a Steam version of DCS and a 'direct' version from DCS website. I also read there's some incompatibilities with modules & sceneries between the 2 versions, so which one is best to have installed? Any pro's and con's for the 2 versions? I have a home-build track-ir set ready to go and Thrustmaster joystick + throttle stick.
