DCS World, begginer mode?

[banckielol03]

Hello, I am a new player to DCS world. I really like the game it's a lot of fun but really hard. Like it's hard for me to control the plane and remember the key binds etc. So my question is there like a beginner mode so you can control the plane where it is going with your mouse and you don't have to remember all keybinds just a few or something like that?

There is a so-called "Game Mode" that you can enable on Options -> Gameplay .. but you are probably better off with an easier gane, like Arma 3 or War & Thunder.

Are you talking about the free Su-25? This is one of the "lighter" complexity planes. You can turn on all the assists to help you start, but it's important to focus on the difficulty being part of the game. The success you have in learning is your goal. Try a bit each day, it does come. And "pause" is your friend.

Yes, I understand that not everyone likes the same things, and Arma is a fast paced game that you can enjoy with just a little time invested. On my case, I prefer DCS because the process of learning an aircraft is to me an enjoyable one.

 

If you are only using the free DCS aircraft, the Su-25T, which has a non-clickable cockpit and thus forces you to memorize a lot of keystrokes, then may I suggest for you to try the free Community Module, the A-4E (download here: https://heclak.github.io/community-a4e-c/#installation). The A-4 is a fairly complex aircraft, but having a clickable cockpit helps a lot ... here is a training video that may give you an idea of what to expect:

I agree with Rudel_chw, I find the non-clickable cockpits (like the Su-25t) much harder to control. Another thing to think about is that it's really hard to control a plane well, if you don't have at least a joystick. Headtracking is the next most important in my opinion, followed by throttle and then rudder pedals. If you don't have at least the first three, it will be harder than it is for other players. DCS is a difficult game, and for most people part of the fun is learning it, so don't be put off if that's what you want; having said that, the game isn't for everyone, and there's nothing wrong with ARMA (600hours in for me, though I can't stand the planes).

 

Since it's difficult to learn, most people find it useful to have someone to fly with who can answer questions and help them out. I'm part of the Tactical DCS community, and we have loads of great people who will be able to helpo you out (for free, unlike some *cough cough*). There's other great communities out there too, so don't be shy, we've all been noobs at this game
