Even the U.S. Air Force Uses this VERY Realistic Flight Sim... 

haha all according to plan~

I ran to the comments lol

Yeah man, people still doubted I could fly the A-10C with a gamepad. So here's the video showing exactly that lol

Not Yak-52 like a true connoisseur? You disappoint.

thats just the way it should be imo. I would love a hotas setup, but I just dont have the room or the money for it and am very glad i can get a decent experience still

I have a inexpensive HOTAS, but made the switch to the controller myself since the controller (Flydigi Vader Pro) actually gives me a lot more buttons. I was skeptical at first, but I feel like I have a lot more control over the aircraft with the controller.

Thanks man! No need to be sorry for anything, I'm just glad I can get you and many others started in DCS

Unfortunately that would be incredibly difficult and time consuming to superimpose all my inputs on the screen at the time they were pressed. The best I can do is just have the gamepad cam on screeen

Depends on the aircraft. If the A-10C ii, then it's Master Mode button long, then Weapon Release

If you're able to slew the radar cursor, then you should be able to slew the TGP. What steps are you following to enable tpod slew?

@@Tuuvas it works now, sorry, it was just a glitch.

I recommend binding it to a keyboard key, then mapping that keyboard key to your controller via Steam. SRS is part of why I set LB to LAlt and RB to RAlt. That way I can set push to talk to either Alt key + my rear paddle mapped to LShift.

lol you'd be surprised how many people don't know it's an acronym and think it's spelled "lazer".

@@Tuuvas That was pretty funny and at the same time made me go, "what the heck, laser is an acronym?!" 😆

@@Tuuvas It's the same thing with RAdio Direction And Ranging(RADAR)

100% - the A-10C and solo'ing (no George) the AH-64D CPG seat are probably the biggest tests there

@@Tuuvas a question for you. Lets say, time commitment nonwithstanding, is it possible for a human being to really *know* multiple modules in your opinion? Like, if you play exclusively the hornet for a week, how long does it take you to get back into the swing of an F16, for example? I know its a very vague question and will produce a very vague answer, but I generally have ~2000 hours a year or more to commit to learning DCS, I'm just not sure if its worth trying to learn (so far) 7 full fidelity modules, or if i should trim down my favorites list to a favorite favorites

Generally speaking, there's some carry over between modules. The basics of flight, navigation, general dogfighting rules, bvr ranges, etc. All that carries over between modules for the most part. The hardest thing to deal with when switching between modules are specific systems - for example, the radar page, or the tpod page, the waypoint input method, etc. I can mitigate some of the difficulty by using similar binds between modules, but I typically need 5 to 10 minutes to go "huh, how do I area track again?", "How do I lock up in TWS again?", or "How do I input a steerpoint again?"

@@Tuuvas this controller is better than the xbox one s controller?

Yes, as long as you don't plan on using it for an Xbox console

@@Tuuvas Which controller is that you use in this video?

Flydigi Vader 3 Pro

Grayflag Syria

I fly with a good friend who is a Competition pilot who flies in SATAC and other international DCS tournaments where the most lethal A2A pilots battle. He flies on an Xbox controller, and he is extremely lethal. You are soundly incorrect in your judgment.
