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.

- How good is F-14 for singleplayer?

Voice attack and viacom pro still working?
It's an add-on for voice attack that seamlessly integrates a ton of commands into DCS. It also takes into account the ingame settings you have in the radio in the module you fly. Basically it turns the radios in your plane into actual working radios you operate by voice instead of buttons for communication with AI units like tankers. I recommend checking it out. It's awesome, especially for tankers. https://github.com/Penecruz/VAICOMPRO-Community

Request for beta testers for next-gen DCS Voice Interaction app
Also another commenter made me look at the repo again and, technically, this project is not open source as there is no license specified. I have raised a bug report to fix that
- Changing views, kneeboard, F-10 Map, coms. etc. doesn't work.
- Vaicom pro interactive knee board
