dcs-scratchpad VS dcs-dtc

DCS Scratchpad, Open Kneeboard, Joystick Gremlin and HidHide, VoiceAttack, Tacview, and if I may self-promote for a moment, DCS AutoMate.

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

Latest update fixes it. (Only read the change log, have not tested myself)

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.

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

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.

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.

This supports the Viper and Hornet.

Yes, but it breaks integrity check IIRC. As a temporary workaround check out DCS DTC.

Not for the A10, but works for the F16 in DCS. https://github.com/the-paid-actor/dcs-dtc

There is 3rd party solution (but only for the F-16, F/A-18 AND AH-64D) called DCS-DTC. It isn't perfect, but it does at least allow quick sharing and entering of waypoints, radio presets, MFDs, and countermeasure programs for the F16. I haven't tried it for the hornet or apache - the apache just supports waypoints and radios.

I’ve also found using DCS DTC was another huge change for me. While it supports the Hornet, I mainly use it for the Viper. Knowing BMS and what it’s like to having a functioning DTC, it always frustrated me customizing everything about the Viper in DCS manually such as display setup. This takes care of that.
