I'm going to wait for either Black Shark or Mi-8 to go on sale. (Still eagerly waiting for MiG-21).

Played quickly for a few minutes with FC3. I so regret not getting this sooner but I'm also glad I waited for $30 off 
Oh she purtty
Vertical climb from ~500ft to 30,000 in no time at all? Yep, it's an F15
I'm so high right now
Trying to land for the first time. Still not sure what happened. I hit the brakes and it seemed as if my tires turned into concrete.
Then this thing... omg.
So much fun

Something happened to my DCS and I can only enter like 2 servers. I want to reinstall the game but have no clue where the controller profiles are saved (I don't want to map everything all over again in the new version).

In the su-25T folder you'll also find the keyboard and mouse settings.

Thank you!
Here are some screenshots I never got to upload:
New stuff: (Yes, school's out! I started flying again!)
Bye Bye Beslan
Around Vladikavkaz
(not) The French Alps
It's time to SEAD again!

No taxi way here. Everyone has to wait - departures and arrivals.
Best wing man ever

The brakes work like they do in cars and the wheels can lock up and skid. The anti skid may need adjusting, the F-15 is in beta and is still being tweaked. If you had a full set of controls you'd be able to apply part braking pressure. If you're using the W key, try holding down for 2 or so seconds and then releasing, then holding down again.
Instead of reinstalling you can try "Repair DCS World" it's in the start menu shortcuts. I think this also leaves your Saved Games folder untouched, but I've never had to use it, so make a back up of that stuff anyway when you try it for the first time.

I'm sorry where is this "repair DCS World" thing?

I just see the contents of that folder, am I supposed to right click somewhere? (Not using Steam).

I missed the initial step "Start" (I went straight to my PC 
)
Edit: I tried and nothing is fixed, I still can't access a bunch of servers "Connection Interrupted".
Edit 2: Alright so I uninstalled and reinstalled DCS and I still can't join a bunch of servers like "104th". I keep getting "Connection Interrupted". Is there a way to clear out an internet cache or something? I'm genuinely stumped.

I did it again the other night... I had hit the parking brakes T___T
Then it took me a while to figure out that flaps lower on their own when it comes time to land. I got so pissed at the Mig because I couldn't lower flaps when I'm maybe a mile out from the runway. Not sure if I like that.

WTF? Does this always happen at low altitude / low altitude with gear down or just when approaching a runway (game script
)?

The F-15's flap are manual in full simulation mode. I think the only way they might autodeploy is if you forget to retract them after takeoff. They'll retract above 240 KIAS and come down later I think (I haven't tested, but some old versions of the sim did this).
With the Russian fighters, slats are fully automatic, don't mix them up with flaps. The Flanker has auto flaps for high AoA. I don't remember if the MiG does. I do know that the MiG can't use air brake and landing gear at the same time.

I remember in IL2 the BF109's slats extended every time you pulled a hard maneuver (I don't know and doubt it was actually like that in real life).

There were automatic systems in WWII. The Ju-87 practically dive bombed on its own. I don't know about the Bf-109's slats however. The upcoming Fw-190 for DCS world has automated engine control that is closer to the F-15's throttle than it is to the P-51's manifold and RPM controls.

The Ju-88 can dive bomb. "YOLO".

Japan's "George" fighter had those too I think.
I haven't fully figured out the way it works in the short time I've messed with it either. With the Mig I seriously had no control over the flaps when it came time to land. I think when I reached a certain speed it would lower. Same with the Flanker too I think. Looking through the control bindings I found "Flaps Landing Position" as Shift+F but it seriously does nothing when I want it to. I get the purpose of auto flaps and slats for maneuvering but when it comes time to land and your flaps don't go down it just gets annoying.
