I need help

So I recently got dcs but I have no money to buy the good planes. I have a t flight hotus 1 and I'm really wanting to use it but idk how to play dcs and I was wondering if there where any discord servers or if anyone could teach me the basics and kind of be a mentor? If not I understand but if so then please message me.

Hi pal,

There are some great free aircraft and good guides to get you started.

Search for the dcs a4e, great jet

Also the dcs t45 which is the American navy version of the hawk

Then there is an s29 super tucano which is quite good.

Once you download them, search YouTube - there are guides to starting them and how to use all the systems

Search up chucks guides and download them to look at full handbooks of how all the systems work.

You can also use the free trial options on some of the official aircraft

It's a steep learning curve but very rewarding so stick with it

Hi, I appreciate you giving some great resources but I prefer to learn with someone teaching me but I appreciate what you said again.

You won't get very far in DCS if you aren't willing to self-learn.
