Hey Team,

I’m super green to the whole DCS world and didn’t realise it had been out for quite some time. Do people still play it much?

I tried playing with just a keyboard and mouse for a while and found it super frustrating, as I felt like I was lacking a lot of controls - which was definitely the case. I ended up purchasing my first HOTAS, the X56, which I thought was a great entry-level setup to start with. I’ve successfully learnt cold starts and taxiing within two days, which I’m pretty relieved about because I was getting agitated asf.

Any tips for a new guy like myself? Also keen to connect with other newbies to see how you’re finding it if you’re just starting out too.
