Intruder505 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Is there a thread for newbies? I have a few questions and dont see a FAQ thread. I woulld like to kmow what the starting point woyld be for downloads? There are a few modules i would like to fly and own. I am really waiting for the f18 module. So what would be the starting point to get into dcs? Do you byy dcs world? I understand the modules are not stand alone. Also, if i have a hotas and mfd setup, can you use setup for eaxh and justvset up a different profile for each module? Ive been around sims since the lateceighties but starting over tgereaca big learning curve with todays sims. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReaperSVK Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 DCS World is free, you get Su25T and TF-51 for free too, and as a starting point I would recommend Flying Cliffs 3 module...you get the F-15E, A-10A, Su-27, MiG-29...these don't have a clickable cockpit and they are pretty easy to learn...if you master them, you can get into A-10C or Ka-50 Blackshark, or any other plane/helicopter you like the most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blooze Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) I would recommend taking one step at a time starting with downloading DCS World 1.5, getting it installed and flying the free SU25T for starters. After you have it installed go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/EAGLE DYNAMICS/DCS WORLD 1.5 BETA/DOCUMENTATION and send the USER MANUAL to your desktop. It will guide you through the set up process and get you started enough so you can evaluate things.

Buzzles Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Start here: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/stable/ Download DCS World 1.5 which is the current stable version, it's free. You get two aircraft with it: TF51 with a clickable cockpit and advanced systems modelling. Su-25 without a clickable cockpit and with semi-simplified systems. See how you get on with that, and then you can look at buying modules. As for HOTAS, yes, you have to set up a different profile for each module. Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here!

scarecrow101 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 That's how I have started and it has worked out great. You can learn all the stuff you need to know and not spend a dime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
