DieHard Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) My brother got me for Christmas a few years back a small sized Android Tablet. It was a cheapy and not much battery life to it. Messed with it about 5 minutes, said "phooey" and gave it to my wife. My 1st DCS module purchase was Black Shark 1 , a boxed edition I purchased at Best Buy around 2010 or so. I also found its spiral bound book that goes with it and published by DCS , copyright was 2009. And what an ordeal and a joy learning the Ka-50 and at least I had a book how-to for reference. Biggest hurdle for me, my generation, graduated high school 1970, is almost all the DCS aircraft only have virtual books and not easy for me learning new stuff. Several months ago I was reading forums and some guy suggested using a tablet to put the flight manuals on, to read, and easy access to the pages via the search function. And can have it open on my desk while flying the aircraft. I now actually have a REAL kneeboard! So, I purchased a 10 inch Amazon Kindle Fire Tablet through Amazon online. Man, what a joy now it is learning to fly my aircraft inventory. I always seem to be a ways back keeping updated on the lateset PC trends and I subscribe to the magazine, "MaximumPC" , so there is really no excuse me being so ignorant. Hope this info helps somebody. Edited February 28, 2018 by DieHard proofing [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Since it supports microSD card, you can load it up! Or read up on Chuck Owl's manuals! :) hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1

hansangb Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 IIRC, Older models do not. Yup, you're right. First few gens did not have them. The nice thing is that you can load Google Play so you can have access to the usual list of apps. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1
