Thanks, Tom, I now have a Helicopter in my stable. It took me a bit to get it installed correctly. Due to the instructions on the web page, but their readme squared me away.
The Blackhawk mod is a very good helicopter mod as well, very different as is much more modern, and probably the easiest helicopter top learn to fly helicopters with,

I really like the OH-6A mod, it's come a long way since its first release.
Since v1.4 its massively improved really nice fm, and we're currently on v1.51 now

Somebody's learned how to use the Pave Spike and GBU's in the F-4E!!!
Somewhat harder than in other platforms, but very doable once you get used to the Pave Spikes foibles. Bombing an airfield from @15,000 feet.

After learning a few lessons along the way, like after jettisoning bags make sure you set the switch to fuel transfer off so it will then drain your wing tanks and not leave your Phantom flying like a brick, turning roll augmentation to off when dogfighting so you have full control over the rudder, and that generally Sparrows are great for making the enemy go defensive, and ever so occasionally may get you a kill, I'm starting to get some success and enjoy the challenge!

If its the same as the Tomcat, you still have to tell where jester to look sometimes with the jester wheel, to specifically focus the search on to a certain piece of sky.
Also, if you were chasing and there was relatively little speed difference, you won't be able to get a lock, no matter what radar you have in DCS, due to how these radars work, as they will be in the notch. In that situation you either need to slow down or speed up to create a positive/negative closure rate, and get the targets out of the notch.
Most radars have different settings used depending whether the target is hot or cold as well, and being in the wrong prf greatly reduces detection chance, if your radar is set for hot targets and they're cold for example (hot target is coming towards you, cold target is flying away from you). Jester can need a prod in the right direction with this sometimes.
Re sidewinder, no idea....

DCS forums would be probably a good place to start, try here,
Winwing - ED Forums (dcs.world)
And yes, DCS is pretty beautiful these days!!!

Aa Colin says, on my system running in 4k, this has made a big difference.
Because some of the newer modules use extremely big textures, it causes the vram on your gfx card to completely fill up, particularly the phantom and the chinook (12gig in my case), and this results in a massive fps hit as it then switches to on board memory.
By switching to medium textures I went from 20 to a solid 60 fps on these modules.
I can't even notice any downgrade in visuals although one would assume there must be something.
This will be even more effective in vr, which Is more vram dependant.

I note that the new improved Korea sim isnt generating any interest with the Dogz. I dont think I will bother with it or the Odessa map and collector planes if there isnt more interest in the GBS series. It looks to me like the new shiney toys coming for DCS will kill off GBS for the Dogz. Who else feels the same?
I've felt that way for about 2 years, but yes i agree with you crash.

4K resolution icon fix
in DCS Series
Posted
Since multithreading came out, icons have not scaled with resolution, making them almost impossible to see in 4K. After waiting for a fix for ages, I decided to see what I could do myself, and after some research I've edited the labels.lua file and got them back to where they were before they got broken, just put this file attached here at the bottom of this post.
C:\Users\*****\Saved Games\DCS\Config\View
some screens,
