Planning a strike mission in PvE or PvP
On some aircraft, you can have it import points you add on the F10 map directly to the airplane's nav system, but not all modules support that. Since you're referring to the SLAM-ER, I assume you're talking about the F-18, which doesn't have a way to automatically import points from the F10 map or preflight mission map (only points that were created for the plane in the mission editor will be in the nav system when you spawn in). However you can use a program like DCS The Way to select points on the map and then it can automatically type them into the plane for you.

The Way V2 issue
DCS The Way V2.0.0
-
How could I export latitude and longitude in DCS?
You could always either use or reverse engineer this https://github.com/aronCiucu/DCSTheWay
- Can you set a waypoint on the F10 map then use in your jet? (in my case the F/A-18C)

TheWay V2
Changelog from GitHub
- Invaluable aids that you use
-
F-16 DTC
If you need to automate creating waypoints try The Way if you haven't already.
- F-16 coordinate input?
-
DCS Waypoint Editor
How is this different from https://github.com/aronCiucu/DCSTheWay ? (not hating, since TheWay came later, just curious)
-
Scratchpad 0.5.0 has a new method to add coordinates from the F10 map (especially useful for VR)
The method was inspired by https://github.com/aronCiucu/DCSTheWay (which might be useful for some, too).

Favorite QoL Mods? Knee Board Scratch Pad?
DCS Scratchpad, Open Kneeboard, Joystick Gremlin and HidHide, VoiceAttack, Tacview, and if I may self-promote for a moment, DCS AutoMate.

Backing up DCS regularly
If you use custom mods, some might have their own folders here too. For me, it's just the folder for Scratchpad.

What are some great things that came with 2.8?
Latest update fixes it. (Only read the change log, have not tested myself)
-
Please can someone explain DCS to me.
For things like changing a radio frequency or turning on/off datalink or TACAN, it's about even. If I'm doing things like manually entering in target coordinates for JDAMs or plugging in my own flight plan on an MP server, it makes life much easier. (For the second scenario I also recommend using DCS Scratchpad.) It's also nice in that it supports various panels multiple aircraft, and the only other thing that I know of which offers even close to equivalent functionality costs several hundred dollars.

DCS: 2.7.10.18996 Open Beta
For some extra help with writing stuff down I really recommend this: https://github.com/rkusa/dcs-scratchpad

Scratchpad 0.5.0 has a new method to add coordinates from the F10 map (especially useful for VR)
You can download the update at https://github.com/rkusa/dcs-scratchpad/releases/tag/0.5.0

Made a DTC app for the F-16. If there is enough interest I'll eventually share it as a mod.
Given it's an enhancement of The Way, most likely not since the F10 map in pancake doesn't operate the same way as the one in VR as far as The Way is implemented. The only one I've had any success with is Scratchpad, which basically gives you a window you can type notes to reference to avoid having to flip back to the F10 map for coordinates.

Learning F-18 in VR
DCS Scratchpad (https://github.com/rkusa/dcs-scratchpad) is also a godsend in VR especially once you start programming JDAMs/JSOWs. The great thing about it is that, if you find it a bit cumbersome to convert chuck's guides into the DCS kneeboard format, you can just list down your own checklist on a notepad and copy paste it into the scratchpad directory.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing DCSTheWay and dcs-scratchpad you can also consider the following projects:
DCSWaypointEditor
vrnecksafer
Soft-MDC - MDC import through DCS-BIOS for the F-16
VRK-Releases - VRK releases, wiki and issue tracking
vJoy - Virtual Joystick
opentrack - Head tracking software for MS Windows, Linux, and Apple OSX
shakersynth - Bass shaker synthesizer for DCS World
OpenKneeboard - An open source Kneeboard
DCSAutoMate - Automate DCS World with Python scripts and DCS BIOS.
VAICOMPRO-Community - VAICOM PRO for DCS World
