It was all going so well. As a very new user of DCS I just could not stop playing. However yesterday the ESC button stopped responding and despite a complex suggestion on You Tube as a cure - I am no Techy- it baffled me. So quite by chance I found on the Controls Section and End Mission and banded my Escape Button to it - and it worked, well for awhile at least - a real solution needs to be found. That's not the end of it; additionally my main joystick Gladiator new- now only works for the rudder. I have cleared the control section for the stick and rebanded but still only the rudder works. As a test I plugged in my new Thurstmaster 16000 - why have one joystick when you can have two- and got the same response - only the rudder controls work. Strange that all my hardware works fine with MSFS2020. My system -all new and recently purchased is Acer Preditor P317-54 i7 Intel 10thGen 16Gb RAM and !Tb SSD and 2070 Nvidia graphis Recent software downlaods include Saudi region and Flaming Cliffs 3. Any help suggestions would be appreciated after DCS MSFS202 is rather vanilla - but good.

Still at the simplest level; downloaded DCS 2.5.6 and calibrated joystick, however when going into Instant Action and passing thro the Briefing menu and clicking Exit I finish up with a static cockpit. The only way it seems to getting some action is to press Escape on the laptop which brings up a menu one title of which is "Resume" which when ticked takes me back to the cockpit and the interaction begins both with joystick and sound. Is what Im doing the right way to start Instant Action

Thanks both that gets me started . Was watching Grim reaper on the SU27T many references to "the Manual" but cant seem to find a where in DCS you can buy one

New to Sim awaiting stock release of Gladiator and delivery of an Acer Preditor i7 Looking for idiots guide to setting up joystick. Like - do you have to reprogramme the joystick for every model you purchase?
