I've been experimenting with SDOE since Xmas and love it so far. I finally have my joystick working well and am fooling around with the 'Scramble' missions.

The one thing I have to say I'm disappointed with if the documentation that comes with SDOE - It seems like you have to rely on trial & error to figure out what lots of the commands do -

I'm having trouble getting the nack of finding, selecting, and thereby shooting at, the targets that are out there. I can see them on the lap map, find their range and aircraft type using the 'c' overlay -

any hints? Is there a good place to go to get the nack of the other overlays, targeting, etc?. Seems like I end up looking back & forth to at the lap map,zooming in & out on the cockpit views and flying around in circles 'til I get close enough to see a target. I can't fugure out what most ov the overlays the key map says are there do for me.
(sure would be nice to have Radar!)

The most important thing for me is the tag-overlay. This will put a text tag over the enemy and friendly planes - you will be able to see the planes very far away. Use Alt-V to toggle tags on and off.

This link has everything for the new SDOE'er http://www.users.uswest.net/~twest3/standard.htm

On that page is a link to the Handy Dandy Doc which is all the extra documentation anyone can handle.
