How are you faring Jarhead?
One tip to enjoying any flightsim is to have a tight and intuitive TrackIR profile. I've often seen people 'fighting' the view controls and loosing tally of enemies and loosing situational awareness.
I created a baseline profile that is regarded as popular within the BMS and DCS scene. If you want it i can send it (to anyone whos interested ofc)

Thanks for checking in. Still running cold start through take-off, simple navigation and landing. I ran the general purpose bomb training mission and had some fun dropping training bombs in CCIP mode. I'm thinking about trying very simple A2A missions to help me practice locking targets and engaging with IR and Radar missiles.

They make excellent trailers for their releases.

What is the average wait period between pre-purchase and early access availability?

No idea. For the Harrier it's about 4 weeks seemingly as it's due end of November. I can't remember the others - there's been so many  :-\

I heard that the Harrier was supposed to be released to public beta around November 15th. 

I didn't get that straight from the source, however, so..  take it as-is.

Watched Magz take the pre-release Harrier for a spin through Vegas, on Twitch, early this morning.

I should have picked up that F-5 when it was on sale.

Xmas, for sure.  Tasty.

I set up my F-5 and took it for a couple flights.

Exquisite.  :nerd:   Plus it's the easiest 'pit to learn in DCS.  Still requires some study on how things work, as all do, but it didn't take much compared to others.

My only issue with the F-5 is that there are so many people flying them on the Cold War server.  Since the aircraft on each side are limited to more historical choices, the Blue team often outnumbers Red by 2- or 3-to-1.   So I'm bucking the trend and learning the MiG-21 first.   Starting off going uphill since I'll be both a noob AND outnumbered.   >:D

hmm, sounds like you need a wingman, you know some to run into you when taxiing down the runway

You mean... a buddy with no qualms about shooting me in the ass with a Sparrow while I'm strafing?   :))

I should've convinced you to get an F-5 when it was on sale.  Ahh well.. holidays coming up.

Aren't the planes included in the Flaming Cliffs 3 module the easiest to start with ?

Yes, but you don't really need to learn their cockpits.
