New to DCS, need a wingman!

[Camiaz]

Hey guys, I decided to give DCS a try, and it's pretty difficult going so far. Since I bought the game on steam, I have no flight manual and have to learn from the in game training. If anyone would like to join and learn with me or teach me, it would be a appreciated!

Find me or Iffn on TS, we will get you started.

There is a steep learning curve though so prepare for a week of learning. The first thing I will say to get you started is to learn how to ramp start. The training mission will help you learn the procedure pretty quick. Took me 2 or 3 runs through the tutorial to memorise it, I wrote down a short hand checklist but didn't use it much.

Also the manual is available online and I'm pretty sure there is one in your games install directory.

I'll be on later if you need some help.

What flight controller are you using?

A new Hog pilot! !yahoo

As Poffadder mentioned, we both fly the A-10c quite often and are happy to help a out new pilot.

The sim is pretty complex and there are a lot of keyboard/joystick combinations needed to operate the systems of the A-10c. What kind of hardware equipment do you have? (Joystick, TrackIR...)

You should be able to find the manual in your Steam folder.
...\Steam\steamapps\common\dcs a-10c warthog\Doc
or you can download it if you http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/documentation/dcs_a-10c_flight_manual_en/

The in game tutorials are only introductions to different systems, you can find more information in the 671 page manual or on Youtube though.

Hey guys, sorry its taken me so long to get back to you guys. I found the manuals, thanks for the heads up! I'll be trying to fly with a crappy Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. It's not that great of a stick, but I'm going to make it work for now. I don't have Track IR right now, was planning on getting that when Arma 3 releases though. I didnt know DCS World even existed. I'll have to figure that one out a little later. Unfortunately my life just got really busy again, so I might have to postpone the training and just fly on weekends (With intermittent ARMA play of course). Sorry to get you guys excited, hopefully I can get settled down again and pick it back up.
