Getting Started in DCS: World - Learning to Fly: Episode 1

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!

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

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

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

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.

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

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 :)

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!

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...

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!

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 “toggle-this-switch-and-push-that-one” type of in-cockpit lesson format. Again, awesome video!

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.

You deserve more subscribers for this quality!

Really awesome video pal! So tempted to buy the game and get a sim, looks amazing!

You have a gift when it comes to explaining things. Well done

A very complete video for beginner of DCS. Thank you. Subscribed.

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.

Wow! Just came across your channel. Been playing dcs for like 10 years now. Lol I know I'm terrified to go online with people lol Watch all those videos you highlighted by those other channels. I honestly think I just learned more in that short time than a bunch of other videos I watched. Didn't know there a noob friendly multi player server. Wow. Thats good to know. Thank you. I'm subscribing now. Hope to see more video in future and learn more. 🙏.

I started with DCS about 3 months ago. If you wonder wich plane you should buy first and you have limited cash i would recommend you the su-33. This plane costs only 7-15$ and can do carrier missions, air to air combat, air to air refueling and air to ground combat. It is as versatile as the fa-18c but a lot less deep. So a perfect starter. If you have a bit more cash you can straight out buy FC3 for 25$ which will include the su-33 and about 4 other planes. How ever if you are a vet with sims already you might go straight for a full fidelity plane! Also there is second free map right now :) p.s.: buy flight stick/ hotas before new planes and maps

I'ma be coming over after a few years of inactivity. Used to fly with a squadron on FSX with TacPack and their F/A-18E. I had a ton of fun. We would hop on VATSIM sometimes too just for added realism if we were doing a ferry flight. Like, I will never forget, I was flight lead of a 4 ship flight flying from NAS Corpus Christi to NAS New Orleans on a public relations tour. There happened to be a controller online on the flight. I got bored and we had fuel to spare on arrival, so I keyed up the mic "Freedom 1-1, request vectors out over the gulf, and if you could, could we get a 10,000 foot block?" He did that, and we flew a simulated guns dogfight right there on VATSIM. Then there was a time where it was two of us and of course, air force one ended up in the same airspace as us. As soon as we saw that AF1 was online on VATSIM, we decided we would be escorting him. Had a jolly good time with FSX, ya know? But my computer died and it's been a few years so I'ma hop into DCS now. I'm gonna go with the hornet cuz she's at least decently familiar. Sure the E is a bit different than the C but for the most part, I know how it's gonna fly and how to start her up and do things with her, so I can focus more on weapons systems.
