ShouldntBeInAPlane

the first time I pressed that button last night, I was worried that it turned off the the alarm and that I wouldn't hear it again when I needed it, haha

Nice, I'll definitely refer to this thread tonight when doing all this. Will probably just map a few buttons and spend a bunch of time reading the guide. And with the part in bold, I think I could do that, but I have no clue how to use that system though, but the button has so many angles that I think I'd have to copy and paste the names that they're listed as being. I was looking at them last night and they start with Joy and then a few other numbers, there is like 18 angles I think, could of read it wrong though.

okay, awesome, that's what I was thinking I was supposed to do I'm pretty sure I know the shift key you're talking about, maybe what you're talking about is the actual shift key on the keyboard, but there is a button on my stick that doesn't have a number and I assume it's the shift key to enable a second function for each additional key Also, with the look around thing, there is a little knob on my stick that allows me to look around. Kinda like that mouse button that laptops have in the keyboards, and about just as sensitive. It'll make due until I get a trackIR, probably in a few weeks. But man, I understand what you guys mean about getting a trackIR, it's a pain to look around with a knob and just being able to turn your head would make it SOOOOO much easier AND more enjoyable

Okay, awesome. In those diagrams, I don't have some of those buttons, but should I map the commands as best I can on my stick? haha, jokes on me, thanks for the welcome, but watch your six :D

that's awesome, I remember seeing that on future weapons

Awesome, I don't have a printer at home, so I'll find those pages online, thanks I kind of jumped around yesterday in the tutorial. Couldn't take off in a straight line, and I have no clue how to navigate, I think I just need a bigger screen.

Okay, so just like my RC cars, the planes have trim, gotchyah. Thanks!

Okay, I'm at work reading your post, and after reading all of it, alls I can say is thank you... also, I don't think I'm going to get much done today at work, well at least real work, haha. I'm sure I'll get a few hours of tutorial videos in. But yeah, I hear yah. I was looking at a video last night and a guy said to take notes and I thought that was a good idea, so I started writing down practically everything. One thing that worried me was that when I was flying around, it seemed that I had to always keep the nose of the plane down. As in if I let go of the stick, it would start to climb. It seemed to diminish when I went higher in elevation, but I'm not 100% sure about that. I hope it's not my stick or something, I just bought it, but it was a cheap one.

Thanks guys, I'll look for those manuals right now And tomorrow night, I will bring the beer, haha. I just need to figure out the navigate to the store better in my thunder bolt, the tutorial had me navigating before the actual navigation tutorial Night guys!

Well, thought I would say hello to you guys. I'll be lurking around reading the stickies probably all night, haha. I have very little experience in flight sims. Last flight sim I played was Janes Fighter Anthology and that was like back in the mid or late 90's, haha. I'm playing off a laptop, Asus g74x. I just bought this game off steam and I couldn't find the manual for it so I think I'll download it tomorrow on the DCS website, I'm sure it's there. But man, I just did the intro to this game, the first two tutorial missions, lol... I'm sure I'll be learning this game for the next few months. Also, I bought a cyborg f.l.y. 5. I know it's not the best, but I'll buy a better one around april. If you got any tips for me, even just quick ones, be it for my joystick or just in general. I'd much appreciate. I'm really confused about the joystick. The directional view button works, and the center view back to normal works (as well as flight controls and the main weapon fire button) but none of the other buttons do anything. I think I have to load a profile for them? or bind keys, but I dont have a clue as to what to bind to my 11 free buttons. Anyways, I'm sure I'll see you guys around, have a great night!
