The more I explore DCS the more excited I am getting about integrating it into the Skyhawk sim.
I have been looking into the options for panel software for DCS, and had some good experiments with Ikarus using the F-15c as my test bed. I need to work more on exporting data from the A-4, then I can move on to building a working panel.

One of the real attractions of using DCS in the sim is how pretty it looks. As I’ve been experimenting and testing I’ve grabbed a few screenshots, and you have to admit; they do look good!

The learning curve for DCS interfacing/moding is quite steep, but I am starting to get the hang of it. There are so many different aspects to this sim, which is of course true of FS9, it’s just that I’ve had 15 years to learn FS9!
