I couldn't tell... it just gives you HOTAS buttons, no default keyboard commands, right? Either way great app for those with the phone, like someone said above... an iPad version would be great. (and a BS2 version)

No love for iPad? Please? Oh..iPad has plenty of apps. I don't have one, so I can't do reviews on that stuff. For once Android got thrown a bone.. LOL.. iControl for DCS is a reason alone to buy an iPad: iControlBeachAV8R

Anyone notice the screenshots were all taken at 3AM? Staying up late a bit, Chris? LOL.
I'll be grabbing this myself. I have the PDFs on my Kindle, but it's not conducive to quickly thumbing around to the part you need when you may not even remember where that is.

Probably not. Don't think of the Fire as an Android tablet. It's an Amazon tablet that happens to run a small number of Android apps. This isn't one of them. On the other hand, you can put the PDFs on there and access the manuals much easier than off a phone.

I've read where people have downloaded DCS Manager to their Droid phones, then sideloaded it to the Fire , so I'm pretty sure the app is compatible. The Fire is probably more Android compatible than you realize. It runs 2.3 (though an Amazon'd version), and every android app I've sideloaded has worked so far (incl. games like World of Goo, Anomaly HD, Edge). It can be connected to the Android Market if properly rooted, but being I've had the Fire for only a week, I don't intend to do this for quite some time (at least until my warranty is expired). Besides, the 7" size is perfect for a kneeboard. I use it for my F4 PDF checklists, as you suggested. EDIT: I just found it on GetJar.com, but it's not as simple as downloading the apk. They ask you your tablet model, and putting in the Fire tells you that it is compatible. Of course, GetJar also said that the EVO 4G is also incompatible, and we all know that this is inaccurate (else we wouldn't have a review ).

The average naval aviator, despite the sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy, and caring. These feelings just don't involve anyone else.
