DDSnacko 42 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Wow, why would the delete his post? Well, I see that he has not logged on the forums for ove 1.5 years, so he probably hasn't made any new cockpit guides. Thanks for the reply Jim.. Maybe I should post the ones that I have.. I think I have them all. I have 11 of them.. Link to post Share on other sites

I added a link under Aircraft Guides and Tank Guides. Note to All: Thanks for all of the great resources. It's best to create a separate thread for new resources so that you can add update posts to that thread as you go. That way, your resource will stand out and this thread will only contain updates to the opening post. Edited December 29, 2020 by JimTM Link to post Share on other sites
