Flaming Cliffs 3 - f15 experience for beginner

[claus]

Hi everyone - I just got DCS World and Flaming Cliffs 3. I have a nephew who loves jets and will be visiting during Thanksgiving. I'm looking for the best experience in the f15 - mainly shooting in air to air and air to ground. What are the bare min training videos and reading to know your way around to achieve this? Any recommendations and tips for setting up missions and maps anybody can provide would be great!

I'm a newbie myself - I do have the vkb hotas and just mapped throttle, pitch, roll, and thrusters.  https://omegle.onl/  https://vshare.onl/

Hi there, you're in the wrong section of the forums, the correct one for FC3 aircraft modules is:  https://forum.dcs.world/forum/102-dcs-flaming-cliffs-3/

Now, as for the F-15C training missions, those don't exhist in the module itself but community members have done them (a mod that you install).
It's pretty much a "must have" for a new user with the F-15C module:

 N22YF's  F-15C Training Missions:

On a side note, you may also realize the same happens with the A-10A - it also does not come with training missions, but community members built them, again a mod that you install. In this case (may also interest), it's a "must have" for a new user with the A-10A module:

 CFrag's  A-10A Flight School (Training Missions): 

You'll also notice that the Flamming Cliffs 3 aircraft don't have "clickable cockpits" (no interactive cockpit with mouse) but a community member made that also work for them.
If it interests you, have a look:

My advice for any newcomer is to take your time, don't rush it.
Go through the training lessons if you can, as they're absolutely worth it to be accustomated and understand the aircraft capabilities, also its limitations.
Once you feel you can perform, and the Quick Missions become too easy/basic, it's time to tackle the more advanced missions and campaigns (part of the content of FC3), or others made by the community that you can download (available here). Or join others in multiplayer servers.
