Thank you so much for DICE and the Zero to Hero videos. Much appreciated.

always use your keyboard instead of mouse, mouse will take you forever but the keyboard will be instant, i mean one keyboard key not combined, like air to air or AG just press 1 or 2, sometimes people end up using the mouse but that makes no sense like UFC panel just bind it to your numeric keypad with the enter key and even using the insert, delete, home, end , page up page down these are perfect for the buttons below the ufc numeric pad and we use it a lot is so much quicker to use these keys on your keyboard, once you get used to it you will never go back, and you can use the same system on the f15 or f18 a10 etc..cheers for the video i was getting a bit overwhelmed with the right bindings to choose weapons and fire modes with my HOTAS WARTHOG now i see the cycle,dogfight and missile override are the main ones. That mod that you have to control the countermeasures is perfect, i'm already searching to use it, tx for that as well, countermeasures are so important to save and use correctly and this surely will help. cheers from Portugal

Thank you brother. Been a long time since I had fun in DCS and needed some sound advice on which binds to use on my Virpil HOTAS. Much appreciated!

Glad it helped! :)

[@canadianoperator]

@@DamnedGh0st quite a bit yes, and you should have way more subs and views, btw. This was way more educational than that grim reapers crap.

Thank you, very appreciated ❤

Thanks, big help.

[@Jacob-r4w]

Thanks, just so happen to have the same hotas.

It's a great piece of kit! Huge improvement from my old x52 😄

@@DamnedGh0st whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiixh? I happens to have a x52 pro and getting meh about it...

[@DamnedGh0st]

@@SweetyVoltyy I used to use the x52 pro as well! Currently I use the WinWing Orion 1 F18 Joystick + Throttle

[@xcv151]

Should I have the slider tickbox ticked for the thrust axis tune?

[@DamnedGh0st]

Only if you are using a slider for your thrust like the Thrustmaster T.16000M. If when you move your throttle it moves in an arc like a Winwing Orion, do not tick the box. Hope it helps :)

Hello from Down Under. Been checking out all your "Zero to Hero" vids. Going to start with the F-16C. Out of all of your ZtoH vids, which is your favourite & why? Plus thanks for all your effort. Much appreciated from a DCS newbie. Cheers Red. 😊

[@DamnedGh0st]

Howdy! I hope they help :) Great question! My favorite is "General Missile Evasion | 1 - Classroom & Theory" under the general tutorial playlist. No one ever watches it, but it's probably one of the most helpful videos out there for AA combat survive-ability.

[@redb8213]

@@DamnedGh0st That's a hell of a lot of keybinds to remember (eventually lol). I will most certainly watch the Missile Evasion vid. Onto Startup vid. Cheers Red. 😊

@@redb8213 Baby steps 😅 luckily you'll get the muscle memory down for bindings while learning the plane. if you're following the 'lesson plan', I recommend not moving on to the next video until you have the a solid grasp on the topics of the current video. (eg don't move past startup until you can set the plane up for combat) I do have kneeboards and resources available to speed the setup learning though. 🫡

@@DamnedGh0st Thanks exactly what i'm doing. I am up to the Start of Vid 3, but I struck a couple of problems In Vid 2. I left comments on there. Hope you can assist. I have your F16 kneeboard picture and have used it to start up the F16. Thanks again. 😊
