Rookie pilots - Quick Intro


Bucic

Recommended Posts

A fellow simmer PMed me on the other forums asking for a kickstart tips and resources. Well, there's no reason others shouldn't benefit from it and also no reason for me to rewrite that in the future :sly:

 

________________________________________________

An effective rookie introduction

  1. Read on activations. Later will be too late. Go to game folder -> \Doc\ folder -> GUI manual
    .
  2. Patch to the latest version as per instructions given on the forums
    .
  3. Official documentation:

[*]Introductory topics on this forum:

  • Forum Rules - access via top forum bar
  • Forum FAQ - access via Quick Links - FAQ; if you skip this part you may miss some useful forum usage info like giving reputation or going to the original place a message has been quoted from

.

.

[*]Get additional resources:

.

[*]Get the training working/substitute for DCS BS 1.0.2 (training has been removed by the patch due to track file playback issues)

.

[*]Controls configuration:

- read the respective chapter in the GUI manual again

- backing up and restoring

- resetting to defaults

- start with Axis tune -> Curvature of about 10-15 and work your way from there if you use anything worse than Thrustmaster Warthog

- no dead zones

see Joystick configuration tips and advices for the two points above

- get rudder pedals they make a huge difference, not only in helicopter simulations

- get a proper joystick/hotas already! Most mid/low priced joystick are the biggest limitation of the whole flight experience with such a high fidelity simulator like DCS series.

 

Saitek and CH Products are the only manufacturers who use decent quality potentiometers/sensors (except Saitek Cyborg X and all similar released afterwards!). That or go for controls with hall effect sensors (Saitek X52 series, Thrustmaster Warthog...)

 

.

[*]Quick training:

If you don't want to do your training chapter by chapter and training mission by training mission, prioritize some elements of the full training:
