if you expect some help then at least provide some info: just saying "is not good for me" does not hel to understand what your problem is.

Tutorial is not really good. Tried keep crashing.
I am not sure if you need those flight controls to play this properly, Yet just not nice to play on a keyboard.

Sure it's meant to be "played" with a flightstick and a throttle at least, but i've been doing most tutorials and missions with mouse and keyboard, and it's far from unplayable territory, just need to adapt.

Those tutorial scheme for default planes are about decade old. just revise few times.
ED move on thing fast most times they left those little things behide. it not supposed to crash. If it crash again, new engine just rolled out im not surprised if ti's true. I believe videos and lots PDF guide and use create content can do better jobs at this stage.



joystick is preferable. game-pad is acceptable.
Key and mice are challenging, require a strong will and mind to overcome.

Yeah they could have done better for keyboard, yet it looks like something fun to play, just to many control buttons etc,

[Insônia]

the other free plane TF-51 is one use ASM(Advanced Systems Modeling), aka clickable cockpit, vr control compatible. just click switch and buttons to light thing up.

but since its a propeller airplane repurposed. it's kinda hard to begin flying due to P-factor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-factor
if you want to give it a try

[DragonWhite4Gulf]

Gamepad with avionics and flight model in game mode, can pick up a gamepad for cheap. I started off that way. Eventually invested in stick throttle etc..

Hotas is the best thing for sims, add some head tracking and you are in for a ride. There are some mad lads playing dcs with controler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gE6DzhmLCLY&ab_channel=Tuuvas.

Hi
there is a large learning curve with DCS as it is a simulator, it can seem pretty daunting so take your time. We have tutorials and also youtube tutorials for the modules.

Manuals can also be found in your game files
DCS World\Doc
Or module specific

Download Manuals Here:

you can also join our discord and get help when you are stuck, and also find groups to learn and fly with

hope that helps

This game is amazing man. You need track IR and HOTAS, I would not even attempt to play with keyboard and mouse, that would not be any fun at all and I would give up too. There is a HUGE learning curve, but that is what makes it so fun because the amount to learn is nearly endless. Start small, learn the basics of flight in single player. Watch tons of videos. This is not a game that gives instant gratification, it is very slow and gradual, which is so much more rewarding once the pieces start to fall into place. This game is not for the "get rich quick" types, it actually takes patience and consistency.

If you say, the game is not good for you, then probably is. Wildcard says the game is amazing. Thing is: Will the teetotaler like alcohol? Will the vegetarian like meat? This probably is not your cup of tea. Thing begins at the point: Are you interested in realistic (flight dynamics and systems) flight simulation game genre?

i crash all the time, but each time i've gone further than i did the flight before, hang in there
