I was replying to posts from Eagler and Banshee.

Should they have asked your permission first before posting?

Nope, don’t care. Not my circus, not my monkeys.

I just care about people who matter being properly informed.

And I don't expect to spend that much time on DCS.  It'll just be another game I play when all my friends are not online, so I'll probably just spend my time fighting bots anyway    I just want to scratch the itch I have to fly modern a/c.  Also heard the F-16 is under-modeled, which is disappointing if true.

Easier to jump in and fight with Flaming Cliffs though there is still a learning curve. Because the cockpit is not interactive you will need to map some controls and maybe print out a control cheat sheet. I've spent a goodly amount of time in the DCS F-16 and never thought it under-modeled. I've never flown a real F-16 but I have flown it in other sims including all the Falcon series. The F-15C, among others, is included in FC.

You get a BRRRRT with FC though not this model.

What's funny is I've been watching FC A-10A videos 

I knew there was a learning curve. I have made my own cheat sheet for the A4 last summer.  Whenever I get settled in I'm sure I'll be looking for help mapping my X52 and whatnot.

If we don't get blown away by this storm. Where'd I put those ruby slippers?
