In most of our events, we use Kutaisi (Georgia) or Ramat David (Israel) as our main airport, depending on if we're flying in the Caucasus or Syria theatre. The following charts illustrate the layout of the airports. Typically, they are included as kneeboards in our missions, but are here so you can study them when not in the cockpit.

This page explains the steps you need to take to prepare your computer for DCS flying with Master Arms.

Install DCS on a SSD. Running DCS on a mechanical HDD is not a good experience. We are using the latest DCS Open Beta client. This is not the same as the Stable version. '''Do not skip this step. If you don't understand, please ask us. This takes time so it has to be completed well in advance before the first flight.'''

====In Game Kneeboard====

'''Get DCS Open Beta here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/beta/'''
  
−
Download the images on the right hand side and put them in your C:\Users\YOURNAME\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Kneeboard folder if you want them to always show up in your kneeboard. Note that these files are already included in the Master Arms mission template and training mission, so there's no need to download them unless you need them in other servers/missions or for single player use.
+
If you already have the Stable client version, you can instead change version by performing these steps:
 +
#Start a command prompt, i.e press Win+R, type ''cmd'' and press Enter.
 +
#In the command prompt, navigate to DCS install directory and then into the folder "bin".
 +
#Run this command: ''DCS_updater.exe update @openbeta''
  
−
Drop the images contained in the file below in your C:\Users\YOURNAME\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Kneeboard folder to access section charts of Kutaisi CTA during flight. These are already included in the Master Arms Caucasus training mission (but not in the mission template).

Teamspeak is used to hang out and talk to each other, perform briefings and debriefings, and sometimes for comms within "flights" (group of 2-4 aircraft), if preferred over SRS. While Discord voice is typically used for casual flying on non-event days, we always use Teamspeak for the official events.

This is more a quality-of-life thing than anything else, and it's entirely up to you if you want to use it. Skatezilla's app makes updating and launching DCS a little more hassle free and flexible, allowing you to keep multiple configurations (one for VR and one for screen for instance) and such.
