The Ka-50 is awesome but the trim and autopilot channels will either make him love it or throw his computer out the window :D

Maybe just ease him into it with Flaming Cliffs 3 (or something from it) since he's coming from Shi... War Thunder? I guess A-10C is the obvious choice for modern jet since it has the most content, training and mission wise, though. As for WW2... I dunno, I think I'd skip that for now. Not a lot to do with those modules as of yet. How about a helo instead? :)

Just what I was looking for! You are a champ!

Is there somewhere I can download the default keyboard commands for the different aircrafts in DCS? Or perhaps it's hidden in some file under my DCSW install?

Whatever they are I hope they have better training missions!

So I've read about radial interception in the manual, seen some youtube vids about RSBN and ARC, read about dead reckoning and browsed the forum back a few pages back. I still feel like I'm missing something when it comes to navigating waypoints in the Mig 21... I somehow managed to get through the first mission of the campaign. I'm sure that if I viewed my course on the map it would look like some psychedelic doodle a child drew. Having just started flight sims, with my limited (non existant) understanding of navigating without GPS/map overlay here is how I did it: - Before the mission, check the closes RSBN station and note down the radial and range for each waypoint - Get in the air and set my desired course needle to the radial of the RSBN at the next waypoint - Make course needle and desired course needle (not sure if these are the correct names for the needles...) line up - Fly the radial until the range is correct This sort of got me through the waypoints, but the transition from waypoint to waypoint was not exactly smooth. So how do you guys do it? What is the proper way?

Good effort! Needs TrackIR, though :) It hurt me to see keyboard view scrolling

What exactly was the fix for this? I have all the switches turned on as per instructions. Frequency is set to 124.000 Using \ brings up the AUTO comms menu. Text is solid white, not grey. Pressing anything doesn't make my pilot talk, and no response. Using Ralt+\ brings up the R800 menu. Same here, nothing happens when I try to give a command. I would think my pilot would at least say something either way?

This one really should be implemented. Can't be that hard and take a lot of time, but boy would it add to the immersion

Ok, I'm sold! The Huey will be my next module.

What I would love to see is a map for the Pacific. Just a shitload of ocean with nice colour and some islands here and there. What a great theatre!

Hmkmm You guys have piqued my interest in the Huey. Is there a campaign? And how are the training missions?

I would like to try this mod. I see in the first post that I should use SweetFX also. I'm sort of new to DCS so is there a guide to SweetFX anywhere that I should read?

Ugh sad to hear. Guess I'll have to keep pausing, which I hate...

This has bothered me for quite some time now; thought it was time to ask. So I'm flying along the first mission of the Ka-50 campaign where the lead guy is talking and telling me about the scenery and surrounding. I'm struggling to keep my aircraft straight and level and don't have time to read the text in the top right corner before it disappears. This has happened countless times in tutorials as well. I hate pressing ESC, it sort of breaks the immersion/mood. So Is there a way to see previous messages that were displayed in the top right corner?
