Reminds me of when I first started playing DCS for the first time. I remember reading the su25 manual during lectures in uni rather than taking notes. I just had to throw myself into the technical manuals. Welcome and I hope you have fun!

For 3-4K views, this is a really good video. Highly underrated.

I have 70 hours in dcs and still don't know what im doing

It's 2024, new to DCS with only 100 hours, and this video sir is one of the most outstanding clear and concise introductions to DCS - should have 1M views IMHO!!

Subbed for more DCS content, The video production quality is amazing.

Yes! You won’t regret it! I play DCS whenever I can. The hornet is the most complete multi role fighter we have rn. And getting ground radar soon! Keep it up!

I'm getting into it now.

I own the F-15E Strike Eagle module; I have a HOTAS setup using the VKB Gladiator NXT EVO 'SCG' Premium and the VKB S-TECS Mini Plus, and the VKB T-Rudders Mk V. I did not have any of these things three months ago.

This simulator has sucked more money out of me in the last three months than anything has in my entire life. And I don't regret a single cent spent.

Having very much learned to fly DCS the hard way, and now having a small squad of good mates a few years later, I was thinking of making some videos about helping noobs get started and learning quickly from my mistakes.
This video hits the nail on the head. I learned a lot from reapers vids but now looking back, I realise there's a lot of gaps and incorrect info that I would like to address in my series of noobs vids.
Now if only I could win the lottery, quit my job and do this full time...

Great camera work on your videos. Welcome to the community, I also recently found DCS a few months ago now. It's a great community, and hope it continues to be rewarding. Hope to fly with you sometime.

Great video and welcome to the family, man! My favourite module is the Spitfire and I have about 16 others to learn :D F18 is the best all-round and carrier ops are a lot of fun!

[ligmahexgrid]

10/10 dude ! im going down this rabbit whole and so overwhelmed, this is exactly what i needed !

[JackBeasleyMedia]

I'm still trying to determine if I have the time and inclination to dive into DCS and this video was the best summary I have seen on how to get started. Thanks so much and very well done.

Fantastic video! Having started not long ago, I would also point out for CPG or anyone reading this that DCS & 3rd Party module developers provide excellent in-game tutorials as well.

Most things, from preflight, to engine start, takeoff & landing, to weapons employment, are usually covered in a type of in-cockpit lesson format. Again, awesome video!

[kevinharbach]

2022... Sitting here thinking about getting this game because it looks fun. Come to 10:43 in the video and there it is. An image off a GoPro I helped set up of a flight taken off the USS Carl Vinson in 2012 for a video I made working on the carrier. LOL!

[WARTHUNDERMEME]

can't belive this channel had only 6000 sub, congrats from italy

[seenovascotia]

Wow, Great Video with tons of information, Just getting into DCS and flight sim, last time I was into this type of sim was I bet 35 years ago, with Falcon 3.0, it was a blast, but that long ago I forget how it all worked. Thanks for this video and the great suggestions.

[zoidasteire]

14:25 glued to that time and taking notes. 5 stars!!!! thanks.

[Waracro]

You deserve more subscribers for this quality!

[shaneconner]

The last simulation I played was Jane's Longbow. Before that I have fond memories of my c64 playing f-117, f-15 and Steel Thunder. Lol I feel old now... thanks

[andrewhardie]

Loved this video! Ive dipped in and out of DCS world and never really picked it up and ended up staying with Flight Sim. Currently downloading DCS again and cant wait to check out the resources that you recommend. Thanks for the very informative video :)
