Poll: which guide would you be interested in next?

[ddhenda]

a-10c definitely has tones of tutorial since day 1, would like to see mi8's

[jvanhoog]

Whatever you decide to do I'll be thankful for it! They should put you on the payroll Chuck.

[Chief1942]

Your call Charley.

 

If you try to keep the A-10C "small", you might as well forget about the CDU. That one device could take 100 pages all by itself.:book: The thing I appreciate about your work, is I can excise out just those parts that I need when I can't remember ALL the "whistles and bells" in some of the modules. :music_whistling:Really appreciate your contributions and look forward to whatever you choose to offer in the future. As one who can barely operate a keyboard, I would be the last to be critical of someone of your abilities.:thumbup:

Lots of info and guides already exist for the A-10 and Ka-50.

 

A-10C: http://en.wiki.eagle.ru/wiki/DCS_A-10C_Guides,_Tutorials_and_Reference_Documents

Ka-50: http://en.wiki.eagle.ru/wiki/DCS_KA-50_BlackShark_%281/2%29_Guides,_Tutorials_and_Reference_Documents

 

I vote for the Mi-8. :thumbup:

 

Me, too, concerning the Mi-8! I bought it for $14 on a sale but as yet have not taken the time to learn it. Somebody did create an English labeled cockpit since my purchase which will speed along the learning process.

 

My first DCS purchase was the A-10C. I created a CH Products profile and played with it some, but the lack of a hard copy manual to really get into it is why I quit flying it. I like books. Anyway, there is a need for a more condensed .pdf manual for the Warthog.

 

Took me about a year to learn to cold start and fly the Shark. Another year to get the weapons down and use the machine in combat. I have the Shark down cold; it is my number one DCS aircraft.

"Hip" might be not a bad idea, but since BST started catching up with upgrading its systems (based on the "news" thread), much of current information might get outdated soon. Writing a guide for it now would seem a bit counterproductive.

[DirtyFret]

Your guides are superb. I feel they present the information very clearly and in a concise manner. Your guides are sort of in-between a quick-start and a full flight manual for a module in my experience.

 

Definitely the Mi-8 : the other two are first modules of DCS so lot's of guides about them

 

My sentiments exactly. +1 Please do the Mi-8 next.

A-10C Edit : cool - available - see link #15

Mi-8 is next on the list. Time to crack open a cold one.

Just saw this guide for the first time. It is incredible! I have managed to talk several people into purchasing DCS products and they all hit me with the same thing: WAY too complicated. Hoping this will break it down for them. Very well done. Please keep them coming.

Uhmmm did you look at the poll? It looked like the a10c took the most votes

 

I certainly did, which is why the link in the post you just quoted points to the guide of the A-10C. :smartass:

[LuckyStiff63]

As a "new guy"..

 

For an aircraft guide, I'd vote for the A-10C.

For non-aircraft subjects, how about one on getting this tangled mess of controller hardware & software on, around, and under my desk-pit to play nice with each other in DCS world?

 

I have been reading through the DCS Manuals, but there's a lot that is left unexplained. Hopefully there is a 'N00bs guide to controller config" here in the Forum gold mine somewhere.

[Dahlbeck]

Maybe something for CA? Is there even a real manual out for that stuff?

[skendzie]

KA-50 for me please! I wanna good excuse to start learning that little kitten.

[Home Fries]

Chuck,

 

I love all of your guides, and I'm glad to see the Mi-8 is next.

 

Even though it's out of your swim lane, I would be very interested in a CA guide, both in terms of using vehicles as well as commanding assets in the F10 view.

I am not excluding this possibility.

 

However I will have to put guide writing on hold for a couple of months. That means the Ka-50 is gonna gather dust as well.

 

Real life duties come first.

[MemphisBelle]

Just a sidenote for you and for the guys who read Chucks Tutorials.

Those Tutorials are now available on the Wiki as well. They can be found now on each Module page. For those who dont know what a Module page is...it is the very first page one will see once a Module image has been clicked on the DCS World rootpage.

The A-10C and the P-51 Tutorials are already linked, the other ones (that are already available) are about to follow very soon.

 

Ahh...I nearly forgot...I voted KA-50 and Mi-8 ;)

[Charly_Owl]

Mi-8 Guide is up!

http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=144126

 

Like I said a couple of posts above, I am going to take a (very) long break from guide writing. Sorry for the Ka-50 fans out there... this one will have to wait.

 

With the A-10C, MiG-21, Huey, Mi-8, F-86, MiG-15, P-51, FW190 and Bf.109 guides completed, I hope you guys will find them helpful and put them to good use.

[joebloggs]
