Learning to fly DCS user Mods like the F-22A, F-35, SU-57... Where do I find manuals/training?

[Ferris]

Feel like a dummy, I've got no issues sourcing and installing mods such as the ones mentioned in the title, and I can figure out enough to get the F-22 off the ground for example, but where would I go to find a flight manual or some other learning resource for these custom mods?  I have NO IDEA how to use the F-22 radar, or what the FCS does in minutiae, for example.  These mods don't tend to come with training missions (that I've seen).

 

So what am I missing, besides thousands of hours of trial and error in the cockpit?  I haven't even bothered looking at the F-35 or the SU-57.  I like to read about the aircraft and their systems before I stick myself in the cockpit usually, it worked for me with the KA-50 and the A-10C, and I'm currently ploughing through the F-14 manual, but even though I've got mods like the F22 and the F-35, I have no idea how to learn about them in the limited detail available regarding what systems each aircraft has.

 

TL:DR;  Do I just youtube how to fly/operate custom mods?  Is there some central learning resource most DCSers use for these kinds of mods?

These mods use, as far as I know, use FC3 aircraft as their base. So the F-22 would use the F-15 controls, the Su-57 the Su-27. Any specialized commands are usually included in a text file or something similar. Just download the FC3 manuals you need.

You fucken legend.  Thanks mang.  I've got FC3, so likely already have the manuals on hand.
