!! IMPORTANT !! • Cursor/Mouse drifting? Go to the Joystick Mouse deadzone UI at 14:47 and set an inner deadzone of 5 and leave outer deadzone at 88 on the new blue deadzone bar's sliders • Cursor moves but not the camera? Load into aircraft -> ESC -> Adjust Controls -> Axis Commands -> Select "Mouse" column name -> Reset Defaults -> OK to save • NONE of your buttons are working? Disable the new DCS Launcher using Launcher -> ⚙Settings -> Turn OFF "Run launcher on start" -> Exit Launcher -> Start DCS • SOME of your buttons are not working? Remove any custom CONTROLLER modifiers under Controls Menu -> Modifiers button -> remove JOY_BTN_5, JOY_BTN_6, etc • Still Having controller issues? Join us at discord.gg/wKMpmbTwWU The folks at the UnOfficial DCS Discord Server have graciously offered to host our own little "Gamepad Corner" there!

How do I remove the old modifier buttons? I think this is what is giving me an issue as I don't have the mouse cursor on the right stick,camera with right stick works with the modifier but I don't get the cursor control.

I've owned DCS since 2016 and I haven't had this much fun playing it as I have today. I tried the A-10C back in 2017 and decided it was too clunky with the joystick and keyboard. This is an absolute game changer. I spent a good part of the day going through the A-10C tutorials and was amazed with how intuitive and easy the controls were. I travel for work and play on a laptop, and it is unbelievable what I'm capable of doing on this game while on the go. You've singlehandedly restored my love for DCS world. Thank you!

When I first came across your channel I decided to try an old 360 controller I had lying around. Was surprised how easy it was to use. Now I use the FlyDigi Vader Pro 3 that you reviewed a little while back and really am enjoying it. I have a HOTAS, but spend most of my time on the controller since I don't have to re-arrange my desk to use it. It's a great entry into DCS for those who are curious and you can always get a dedicated HOTAS after you've spent some time in DCS and learned what will really works for you. Hope anyone interested in DCS sees this video, it's a great community to be part of!

This video is absolutely unbelievably good. All I can say is if I saw this video 2 years ago I would be about $800 richer from not buying a HOTAS and headtracker. Absolute killer, especially for how many High Schoolers with a limited budget already have an Xbox or Playstation and could put all that money towards a module in DCS instead of a stick or tracker. Thanks for taking the time to post this AND lay the groundwork with the pre-made profiles!

Thanks for making this and the profiles! I used your F-16C profile. I thought, from the tutorial, that maybe it was going to be a nightmare to pickup. Yet only took about an hour to begin memorizing all the button combos. I have the F and P switches on the bottom so I'll just start assigning those their own key combos as well. It's actually incredible how many functions you can fit on just an xbox controller.

I'll stick to my HOTAS, but this is incredible. I've heard about "that guy with the controller", I thought I'm a control freak, but, mister, this is another level. 🙂 It reminds me having two modifiers on a single finger on my old Hotas X. I still use modifiers probably more than others (just a guess), but these controller setups are a great example why they are so useful. Lose two buttons, gain up to fourfold on the others! And the video tutorial quality is top-notch as well. Kudos!

The controls and setup required in this game is rediculous.

You have saved me hours of playing around to get a semi working setup, and your setup goes the whole way! I never knew steam had such a great setup for modifying controllers like that! I'm back here writing this message and I've only seen the mouse movement from the controller which I think is a great idea! Now this noob is away to provide some cannon fodder for the pros to take out... Wish me luck...

What fixed it was reloading the xbox controller setting provided by Tuuvas. Epic 10/10. Thanks dude!

I went through this with car sims PC/PlayStation back in the day. - You cannot beat a controller - games are written around a controller. Games would have sucked if you could not master them without a controller. I played GT4 for about 2 years with a FB steering wheel. One day I was not in the mood to setup the steering wheel, I played with a controller and in 45 minutes I beat all my own records by miles. Do play Flight sim with a joystick and pedals, it's part of the fun but that's it.

I‘m totally impressed with the fact that you‘re playing DCS on a controller. Until a few days ago, I didn‘t even consider this to be a possibility! I‘ve mapped my buttons according to your suggestions and currently practice flying with a controller (very unusual for me since I normally use the HOTAS). However, I really wonder how you manage to make precise throttle corrections (especially during A/A refueling) with the buttons on the controller. I‘m trying my best here but the adjustments just seem so very rough. Using a PS4 controller (which thinks it‘s an XBox-controller somehow) and triangle and square are not pressable gently, only all the way through? Trying to put together a project for my students with the TF-51 and I really struggle with both: throttle up/down and hitting the wheelbrakes (the plane always does a nosedive and kills the propeller)

Quick tip in case you’ve not tried it before, setting the view axis to the absolute one or whatever can help a lot for looking around quicker and having more control. It’s way better for me than just moving it that way, and it’s way better than having it set to a hat switch on a hotas. Whatever works for you is great, but that’s what worked for me in case you’ve not tried it yourself.
@Tuuvas
@Tuuvas 6 ай бұрын
This is actually what I used to have in my previous gamepad guides. Zoom View axis was set to LB + Triggers (just like how Mouse Scroll Up/Down is today via Steam). The snappiness of the zoom axis option was indeed very nice, but it often resulted in unintentional rudder input when trying to hold a specific zoom level. In particular, max zoom. Now you can easily hold a zoom level with the mouse scroll bind. It's a bit slower and slightly framey, but you also get other benefits like zooming in and out in F10 view, scrolling UI menus, turning knobs in the cockpit, etc. There's a bunch of benefits now over the snappy zoom axis.

Honestly, it depends. It's hard to recommend something without knowing what you're looking for in your next module purchase. For example, if you already liked the F-15C then you might consider getting the F-15E. Just keep in mind it isn't as good a dog fighter, primarily meant for strike, and has a fantastic radar for BVR. Or alternatively, if you want to explore a mix of everything, then the F/A-18C will give you BVR, dogfighting, CAS, Strike, SEAD, anti-ship, carrier ops, etc. And is excellent at almost everything.

I'd strongly suggest it. I've been playing with a controller for several months now, there isn't anything I can't fly with it (AH-64, F-14, AV-8B, P-51 etc) and that includes carrier landings and aerial refueling.

@Adam-qk5tt If you intend on using the gyro a lot, then yeah, DualSense is absolutely better! It has the best gyro on the market among gamepads.

Somehow in DCS it doesn't show the controller collumn (PS4 DualShock, standalone version)

I understand anyone who doesn't have the money for an expensive setup and therefore chooses a controller. but that? The point of their setup was to be closer to reality. That's why I can't understand why you replaced your setup with a controller. 🤯

You could have shown some gyro in a action on Dualsense. People don't really know that much that gyro is really precise and useful nowadays.

I love dogfighting in DCS with a VR headset, so I need smooth, precise controllers with plenty of buttons and switches that I can easily find by touch, because using a keyboard in VR doesn't work out very well. I use a desktop VKB Gunfighter joystick and Virpil Mongoos throttle and they have both been perfect for my needs.

Even though I understand people using a controller for DCS if they do not have the money for a Hotas setup. However you ditching your setup for a controller does not make ANY sense! 😂

lol believe or not, at this stage in my DCS journey it's just easier for me to plug in a controller and play instead of setting everything up. Plus I want to set an example for aspiring DCS pilots... to not just tell them it's possible, but to show them exactly what's possible with a simple gamepad and some dedication. Also, welcome to the DCS World Merp!

Hi Tuvuvas, thank you for the guide. I'm facing an issue where once I launch the game, the curosr keeps floating to the left automatically and I have no control over it. Not sure what is wrong.

Double check your deadzone inner and outer settings. Deadzone inner should be increased if your thumbsticks suffer from stick drift. However, this can also happen if you changed the Deadzone outer by accident. Make sure the outer deadzone is still the default value (indicated by the gray arrow on the right side of the slider)

Dude I wish I found you a year ago when I first got into DCS, at the time I was going in blind so all I ever heard was "oh you have to get a HOTAS" I Have one now but had I known when I was first starting off I probably would have eased into DCS much more easier
