So confused..Newbie needs advice please

[Windmill]

Having downloaded DCS Su-25T from Steam it would seem that the controls are Keyboard defaulted and, being a dedicated flight sim player I find this incredible. Do players actually use their mouse and keyboard to play this game?

 

I have tried for hours to find a way to configure my Thrustmaster Joystick but in the Options there seems to be no way to do this. Can anyone please advise me how to do this?

 

Many thanks.

I just grabbed this screen of the web, but it should look something like this in options

 

You should have a column for each controller you have connected, including your flight stick.

Default is a combination of keyboard, stick and mouse. There is no need for a setting in this regard. What you need to do is select the pull down menu that reads 'general' in the above picture and select 'axis' then you will be able to assign your stick axis.

Strange. At first launch my TM Warthog was recognised and already plenty fonctions assigned/mapped.

 

Anyway it's very easy to map anything in DCS.

Get the DCS World manual here http://www.mediafire.com/download/g8gjszonxzpdrv7/DCS_User_Manual_EN.zip it's very well explained :thumbup:

The document posted by Fifi should also be in your <install path>\DCS World\Doc folder.
