+1 with Cygon, I'm excited about those Sidearms.

The laser Mavericks I don't think are such a big deal, with the way ED modeled the CCD and IIR versions it doesn't really add any capability we didn't already have.

Sure, but considering I haven't worked with them in ~3 years...I'm excited.

Concur on the Sidearms, those are gonna be interesting as well!

Yup. For me, it is either this one or the F/A-18, whichever gets released first. Not both.

I've got to the stage in DCS that others possibly might also be experiencing, to a greater or lesser extent...

"Switch Saturation" from the modules I already have. :)

The Harrier is still supposed to be early access in Q1 2017. I'm actually expecting a Q2 2017 early access release but even then it will be out way before the Hornet.

As for the switch saturation issue, you have to go with what you enjoy. This is, after all, a means of entertainment and if you are not having fun doing it then it is just another job. I am going to be getting a tablet to assist with the various required game manuals, charts, tech pubs and required checklists for all of the aircraft I have. With all of the various modules I fly on a regular basis I just can't remember everything I need to know to operate them effectively anymore... especially with all of the new aircraft coming out. None of the modules in DCS are anywhere near my most desired list. I'm actually still waiting for the modules I really want in DCS... the Tomcat will be the first of them. All of the rest of the modules I own, well, they pass the time.

Yeah, that's the effective expanded definition, in essence.

The time is nigh for taking a moment to do what I thought of doing a while back:

Hacking an old USB keyboard and turning it into two separate "side panels" of some 20 single throw, spring loaded switches, with two or three rotary two pole selectors for modes, each panel. Possibly, also, the inclusion of a hat or two, and a select few two pole, spring loaded to center-off switches. Not a sim-pit, just a generic set of switches with maybe an inter-changable "mask" of placards for the most commonly used combat and normal flight functions. My biggest issue with the increasing number of high fidelity modules is the key-binding on a standard keyboard, with all the key-combos. I know real switches would be easier to remember / refresh.

I'm getting a bit off topic. Sorry. However, I have little doubt it has probably been done several times already. :)

Regarding the module types portrayed, yes indeed. I have a simple set of requirements for the ideal.

Your most desired list, Vampyre? Think your sig and avatar says it all*, LOL!

*And am in agreement, myselfs!

I like the look of that Sidearm employment in there.. Think we're gonna get a lot of good use out of those.
