InspectorGadget Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) I know I know...lol I just got a Rift, with DCS and I am attempting to use a Mouse with a 3D logitech Stick, temp set up... to start off with I am getting better at setting up my Rift but have no idea where to start with here... I will be getting the B206 with real chopper Cyclic stick and Collective with foot controls soon... Right now I think It would be better to start of with simple instructional on how to set up DCS for Helicopter I have UH1H and BlackShark, since I worked on UH1HDs in the Army in Avionics may be best for me to start with that sim. I also worked on Black hawks but I think the UH is where I should start learning. I also need to learn how to set up the 3D Logitech which I know is a bit challenging. I will worry about the Rift after I can take off fly and land... When I look on this site for Manuals and such I am overwhelmed with exactly where I should start and what I should set up first... Please advise and I will read until I fall asleep. Help me by giving me a link to click with reading material since I am so Green I am not even a Sprout of Grass yet I am just the seed being thrown to the wind at this point and need direction and a way to approach so I can do this in steps. I have 0 Knowledge in this whole ordeal but am looking forward to learning it... Someone please be kind enough to send me into the right directions as total Nubbie to this world here... Thanks for any help Mark Edited June 5, 2015 by InspectorGadget Here I go Again...

Mtnbiker1998 Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Wanna know how stupid I am..ok... I have a question what is RTFM ..lol Is it Read the Flight Manual? and where can I find that...I mean stupid man... Hey thanks for replying though....lol Mark I Thought it was Read the F**king Manual, but your guess is as good as mine! As for manuals, A quick google search for "DCS Huey Manual" and you should be able to find a nice pdf. That's always worked for me when I need a DCS manual! Good luck! -Mtn98 Come fly with me, lets fly, lets fly away! -Sinatra [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My Specs: Lenovo Y50 with GTX 860m (2GB), i7 4700HQ 2.4GHz, 8GB Ram.

Which was pretty cool, I am having a problem with starting the sim though, since my mouse will not click on the start and when I select Pause Break Key nothing is happening...I hot some button on the keyboard somewhere, hard to know with Rift on my head and I was able to start outside Helicopter then I had a switch set for controller to put me in cockpit view and Hud so I was able to then fly spent a while I said screw work in am Ill do it on three hours sleep....so I am getting there slowly, the rift almost can make you motion sick..lol pretty cool though, I did not do too bad hitting targets, and found that the game version was easy to control and fly...I will get better as I learn the system, I am happy I was able to get the Rift connected I was going to wait...\ Mark Here I go Again...
