I'm partial to US Navy Aircraft so I need to look at the manuals for the F18, F14 and F5 and decide which one makes more sense to me. You've all given me some great advice and places to start. I WILL read them, but I want to have fun with my huge investment while I'm doing it!Ĭan anyone make some recommendations and provide some simple instructions so I can get started using all this beautiful software and hardware? PLEASE? I REALLY just need some very simple instructions to get me up and having fun as I learn all these complicated systems including programming my controls without spending ALL my time reading all these hard to understand manual. I REALLY JUST WANT TO FLY!!! Single player for now since I've got a lot to learn. I've not learned how to use the TARGET software for the Thrustmaster controls and have no idea how to program it OR load a profile that will work in DCS. My questions are: Which plane should I start with? Is there a Basic Generic Profile for my Thrustmaster system or a profile for the plane recommended that I can download AND HOW do I load that program to be able to use it. My Computer is brand new, AMD processor with 9 cores, 16 GB RAM, 2-HDs each 1 TB, GeoForce graphics card, (new card with lots of memory and processing speed that I can use highest graphics without latency, a Sim Chair system with 3 27" LCD Monitors, surround sound, and Track IR system not yet installed. If I can get these all working, I'm going to get the F-18 Handle for xmas.ģ. I also have the interchangeable Cougar F-16 handle. Making a long story short, I ditched my Saitek Cessna pedals, replaced them with Thrustmaster pedals, (not the TPR ones, the basic ones), and now I have control on the ground!!! Since I now have controls that work, Ihave brand new Thrustmaster HOTAS A10 Warthog joystick and throttle with panel, pedals, and 2 Cougar MFD panels. I have NEVER been able to get my rudder pedals to work therefore I could never take off or land. Should I purchase it to learn on or is one I already own better to learn on?Ģ. Which Plane or helicopter is the easiest to learn on and has the easiest training program among the aircraft I own? I know the Averojet is used as a jet trainer, (and I have the P-51default trainer), but I don't own that one. I think I can now but I need some help.ġ. I'm no where ready for ANYTHING in DCS but learning to fly these complex aircraft with WORKING controls. I have the Super Carrier, Persian Gulf, Nevada, Normandy and Combined Arms terrains as well as the GPS add-on. I've had DCS for almost all 15 years and I own ALL the US aircraft except the newest F15E not yet released. I'm not new to DCS either BUT I've never been able to get off the ground, ever! I used to fly ALL the Janes Simulators, Microsoft Combat Sims, ALL versions of the MSFS up to the latest 2020, X-Plane 10,11, and 12, and many others. I'm sure this has been covered before but I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me get started! I'm not an inexperienced flight sim pilot, I've been flying since the first Microsoft Flight Simulator was released.
