Thanks for all the suggestions fellas! Sorry, I've been away from the computer for a few days. I ended up with the F-15. I eventually want to learn an aircraft in and out in terms of startup and realism, but right now my biggest hurdle to jump is the use of VR. Since there are so many key binds for basically everything, I need to memorize what is what with muscle memory since I can't see my keyboard and hotas. It's proving very challenging. I'm going to have to map as much as I can to my hotas. I've heard of Voice command programs but never jumped into them. I might have to now to make things a bit easier. In terms of take-off/flying/landing I'm progressing rather quickly which is awesome. Getting much more comfortable. In terms of all the acronyms that a lot of people use, it's like Spanish to me - I have no idea what is what. I am also completely unfamiliar with ATC terms. I basically just taxi to a runway and takeoff since I'm the only one out there. I feel like things would be easier to learn if there is some kind of random noob friendly server, where I can just practice being in the presence of other people flying. Lots to learn! Thanks everyone for all the suggestions and warm welcomes, I was not expecting multiple pages of replies!

Hello fellow flight simmers! I've been messing around with the two free aircraft for a few weeks now. When I first stumbled upon DCS I didn't have a HOTAS, so after a night fooling around with the keyboard I bought a T.Flight at Best Buy the next day. After realizing I was becoming hooked, I ordered a T.16000 HOTAS, and here I am looking to purchase my first module. I also fly in VR using a Windows Mixed Reality headset. I LOVE the "clicky" cockpit of the TF-51 and learning the start-up procedure of the aircraft. I spent many nights just cruising around the skies and practicing take-off, trimming, flight basics, and landing. It's quite amazing in VR. I moved on to the Su-25T a few nights ago, learning the various weapons systems. Blowing stuff up on the ground is fun as hell, but I want to also have something that has more of an air-superiority role and eventually make my way to a noob friendly server and cruise around and learn the ropes. Would the F-15C be what I'm looking for? It's not a full module with the clicky cockpit that I like, but I'm ok with that for now. I figure this way I will have the TF-51, the Su-25T and the F-15C to mess around with until I become more deeply situated with the sim. Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated! Having a blast with this sim. TL;DR - Is the F-15C a good noob friendly first module to get my feet wet? Looking for something with an air superiority role
