Nice To Know Controls/commands

[Kira]

In light of DCS's in some cases rather odd placement (list location) and naming of commands, I propose a "Nice to Know" command list.  Certainly for the everyday, but more for the obscure that you spend four hours looking for, only to stumble across three others you never thought to look for, and wouldn't be able to find again, in the process... and never get off the ground.  (Been there, done that.)

 

I'm thinking the best way to do this is to put the name of the aircraft, then system affected (what it does), DCS's name for it (location on the list), then the control, and finally, general location of clickable cockpit control if available/you know.

 

Two assumptions.

 

1. The list is "All", and thus the name of the system etc will be in alphabetical order

 

2. Simulation mode is assumed unless specifically stated to be game mode.

 

Example:

 

Name of A/C

 

System/instrument/etc affected

 

Name DCS gives (If you know)

 

Command

 

Clickable's location

Very funny Mr. Snack Officer, sir.

On the extreme left side of the instrument panel, right beside the canopy bow and below the big gunsight selector box is a three position toggle switch.  Back opens canopy, forward closes it.
