Depends on your hardware Dave;
Warthog users get a fairly comprehensive and apparently logical mapping.
I, on the other hand, with my cosmopolitan selection of hardware elements, did not.
What you looking for specifically? Recommendations of what to map to your HOTAS as priority controls?

The Cat has landed gents; those of you with an OpenBeta install can get downloading now!
The initial update package is 3.25GB.
Once in game Module Manager will demand a further d/l of 2.09GB.

The A-4E mod has jus received an update!
Quotev1.3 Changelog:
- New carrier catapult mechanic
- New RWR System, complete with originally produced sounds
- Aircraft chocks now available, allowing carrier cold starts
- Enhanced Shrike Usage, with originally produced sounds
- Reworked Internal Lighting
- New Menu Music by Eric Haugen (Thanks!)
- New collision Mesh (Hitbox), aircraft no longer invincible
- Huffer now works on carriers
- Fixed TrackIR issuesHowever, for now, for the sake of simplicity and making sure for tonight's session we are all singing from the same hymn sheet, I strongly suggest you delay updating.
It would be best to wait until the current Beta version is ported to the Release as this also solves the issue of exploding Skyhawks when spawning cold & dark on the ground.

Just seen a picture of the K-5... that'd be one hell of an enema... ?

25 minutes ago, Kira said:
Crash, the answer should be "NO, you do NOT need DCS Beta installed. The STABLE version should be fine. It's the module itself, the F-14B, that is in Beta form." I think. Can't guarantee it, but I'm 95% sure this will be the case.
Translation: We should all be flying our Beta version of the F-14Bs on the newly installed Dogz DCS Stable server on day one of release: March 13th/14th.
Alas, Kira, this would fly in the face of the release process of every module thus far released. Unless they make a special case for the 14 - which isn't beyond the realm of possibility I grant you - but I haven't seen any information to support this.
As such I would tend to assume the worst case and that it will release to open beta first.
-
This will almost certainly come out on a beta patch first - however, if all goes well it could be pushed to the stable the following week (20th March).
The Skatezilla app that Crash has highlighted in a separate thread can be used to switch your stable release to the open beta if you cannot hang on that long.

QuoteDCS: F-14 Status Update
Hi Everyone,
End of winter is rapidly approaching - and we’re proud to say that we’re now feature complete and in RC-type build status. What that means is that we’ve completed implementation of everything that we consider necessary for early access release, and are now focused on ironing out any remaining major or game breaking issues. We’ve launched the manual to great feedback (thanks to everyone who helped out and who has reported issues since!) and the only remaining step for us now is to get the aircraft in your hands.
Over the past two weekends, we’ve ran two large stress tests with 30+ Tomcats on a single server. These have allowed us to debug various issues across a more dense multiplayer environment. The expansion of the testing team to include many more people has also been very helpful in establishing what needs revision and work.
We’re eager to share with you the launch day of the F-14, pending ED’s final approval. We hope this will happen within the next few days.
Also in the coming days, we’ll be going through what to expect from the F-14 Early Access, what our roadmap is for it’s final release (-A, Campaigns, other missing features, etc.) and projected timescales. Hopefully these will give you a good idea of what you’ll be flying on day one, as well as what the future holds for our F-14 project. The F-14 won’t be perfect when we launch, but we intend to show you just how committed we are to quality and our product in the days following release. Expect to be impressed.
More than anything, thank you for your support. It’s what keeps us going on long, dark, coffee-fueled nights. We’re looking forward to breathing a little post launch and as we settle into our Tomcat journey together.
Sincerely,
Team Heatblur__________________

Victory205 over at ED forums claims to be a real ex-Tomcat driver. Given his post history, I believe it!
He's posted some of his own hints and tips on Tomcat handling.

Hey Propnut, might be a bit of an ask to get Nick Grey to move the date of Legends, but if you did want to catch an Airshow at Duxford....

And if there's something flying at Duxford there's usually a DangerDog in the vicinity!

So you current Hornet noobs and future Tomcatters will find some useful terminology here. I recommend getting familiar with the nicknames for the deck areas; suddenly a lot of you tube vids start to make a bit more sense!

Some interesting shots of the new "Syria" map that is currently in the works. Looks like Lebanon, and parts of Israel & Turkey are to be included, perhaps Iraq also...?
DCS Stable Release Version Update 03-04-19
in DCS Series
Posted
Gentlemen, the Cat has landed...
You Hornet jocks have some new toys to wrap your grey matter around also.
Comprehensive!
Gonna be a biggie so get d/ling...
As with any large update, I would recommend deleting your "fxo" and "metashaders"/"metashaders 2" folders from your x:\Users\*yourusername*\Saved Games\DCS folder prior to running chaps.
