kris018 Posted April 7 Posted April 7 Greetings. Trying to get back into DCS after 4 years, want to actually try and learn a airframe this time around. A couple of questions, the training missions that come with the Hornet (just an example, not decided what i want to jump in yet), are they even relevant any more? Guessing things have changed so much i would be better off using YouTube? Im a firm believer in learning by doing :) So is retribution still around or is there something new that can keep my singleplayer life busy enough? Thx in advance:
Beirut Posted April 7 Posted April 7 YouTube & the Mission Editor. It's all you need. Some of the planes, but all of the maps!
Dragon1-1 Posted April 7 Posted April 7 The missions work fine. The Hornet was pretty much correct from the start, so the fundamentals didn't change. Things had been added, not all have training missions, but some do, and they're actually pretty new. 2
Czar66 Posted April 8 Posted April 8 I also share that 'learn by doing' belief. That's how I learn the Hornet. For the hornet, I used mostly the manual included. Path: DCS World\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Doc, the chuck's guide at the time (google) and youtube videos. Mostly was manual reading. I don't remember booting any training missions and I had a smooth learning flow on the bird. The manual included is already excellent. Try to evolve through steps before smart weapons and carrier landings. CCIP first, then CCRP, etc... If you don't overwhelm yourself mixing too many different stuff at once, the bird is nice and fast to learn. Practice is king, especially with the HOTAS commands. For single player: see the 'playgrounds' on user files, see or create a way to make a dynamic scenario through the mission editor and check out Briefing Room for DCS. The later has been my go to experience for a few months now. 1
