@SimonRigga The DangerDogs fly DCS on a Thursday night UK time and we have guys who will help get you up to speed

Thanks.. I think if i'm going to be flying a bit more then I need to at least get the basics, which will include button mappings that I can remember, correct first.

Unfortunately Thursday is also my GTA night with a few mates.. although they don't play every Thursday..

If I can get my buttons down, with a few more things mapped like being able to change the radar to different modes, then I may jump on when free on a Thursday.

Thanks again!

They also do a Monday night but fewer fly. I am sure if you drop by the forum some help can be arranged. DD Friar is very keen on DCS.

Spending some time with the Gazelle, I suck at choppers lol

The worst of it is the ingrained response to throttle use and wanting it switched the other way around for the heli's, I'm fine until I make an automatic correction at which point it's odds on that I'll do the opposite of what I need lmao, it's also making really want a better set of rudder pedals and a collective of course

Yeah that is really useful, but if I have to spend 15 mins doing that every time I play the game then that's 15 mins less of me going.. wow.. just wow... as I take a look around and finally take off

I usually get gear and flaps reasonably quickly.. which is all I need to take off.. and land.. it's all the other stuff.. as there are about 50 thousand different commands, and a lot of them are duplicated.. i.e. you can press a single button to cycle through things.. or a single button to go directly to one of the things in the cycle.. but I just don't know enough to even begin to do things like turn on the missles ( <<-- is that a thing?? )

all of the guides I read are complex.. and I get it.. it's a complex game.. and there is no easy, take of, select missles.. get lock and fire..

I guess at the end of the day I just don't have the inclination to put the time required into the game to learn it enough to get the most out of it.. (like pretty much all gaming at the moment for me! ) but I do enjoy my wow moments every few months

Make yourself up a graphic kneeboard with the hotas binds. Use the inbuilt KB or Openkneeboard.
