Your welcome. I know its way too early, but your layered airbase page format would work great for Balkans and EMF as well.

Please make the app easy to get, the android sight for the dcs app is hard to figure out: I see no place to register and add devices there.

Yep that’s my thoughts too. To clarify, this is the exact same format RedDog uses in his navigation docs, that’s how I decided to go this way.

Mower I don’t understand what problem you are describing? You can’t download the DCS app from the market? What device? Either way, as I said the app will also be posted here for direct d/l, for those who can’t access the market.

My trivial question is, are electronic kneeboards making their ways into the military cockpits? I know some US aviation colleges require iPads for charts and other stuff, and I know some pilots are taking up electronic kneeboard concept in the AH-64 community but I wanted to know if military in general is adopting the idea? For one thing, I found it hard to operate my android phone with nomex gloves on. Anyway, just side conversation… Kosmo, like I said, I am ready to test it on my tablet.

As a student, I wouldn’t have wanted to alter any part of the flight uniform. But maybe in my unit I can do that.

I’ve been sitting on the fence about getting a Kindle Fire, but if this works on it, I’m getting one! What a great idea!

This is what we got recently and I am loving it, much better than carrying a laptop around…

It’s very handy. I have all the Falcon mauals and checklists on mine. Also RedDog’s online Korea map. This will be icing on the cake! Looks great Kosmo!

Now gotta find a way to strap the tablet on my leg…

Hm… Here they say “No” to the EFB:

But in the last sentence is mentioned, that the AMC will do so anyway?Would be interesting to read how it’ll end up finally for all military aviators.

I know there is a strong push to go all digital right now, but I don’t know if it has made its way to the fighter community yet. I’ll ask around and see what I can find out; a couple of my buddies still fly.

Not sure what you mean by Android computer, but it should work on any Android device.

Can a regular tablet be used to see PDF, DOC and other files? If so, what’s a good inexpensive one? Say a 10"er.

Kindle Fire can

Samsung Galaxy 10.1 … $399 My Sony Tablet S is the same price but Playstation certified. Most good android tablets are in the 399 range right now. eBay is a place to look.

USAF recently solicited to buy several thousand tablets for use as digital flight bag in cockpits of heavies, but not fighters AFAIK. USAF canceled the solicitation due to some intellectual property issues.
