Very nice.
i dont even know how it would be but ight
reddit
nice video but death to Ukraine
this was better than the in-game tutorial!
@Sincere Zaiden yeah no one cares
@Sincere Zaiden Thanks!
Well I found the first one exploring the cockpit kinda nice. The key bindings for startup is the best though and not having to search through the controls is godsend from this video.
No way, not a word about the ADI and the HSI, how to navigate and find your waypoints without autopilot.
You can try autopilot in your racing simulator, and see if it is fun to race.
This is a fast food shoot'em up tutorial for a joypad...
@@tomsawyer2112 it’s a light touch introduction to get you flying. The idea is you progress from this video to more in depth content after a few flights
I just finished downloading this sim finally. Took 8 hours but it's now mine. I had no idea that there was no cockpit interaction with the freeware. I tried so hard to figure out how to get the cursor to click the instruments. Now I feel like a fool. Oh well, I am getting the Apache next. Nice tutorial. Liked and subbed.
You can actually mod in cockpit interaction
took me about 4 hours
@@jamo3676 MSFS2020 took me over 14 hours to download. In my area the best speed I have seen is 12 mb/second. Not bad for most things, horrible for large downloads
@@valuedhumanoid6574 Jesus where do you live? Alaska?
@@shibbet I'm not even joking it took me two weeks to download csgo.
Unless I missed it in the video, you didn't mention that if the throttles are not exactly on idle, the engines won't start.
I didn't know that :) My throttle was naturally in the idle position before start - I'll pin this
@@TiJayFLY how do i even change my throttle. im in the tutorial now and it sure as hell doesnt tell you how and i cant start my engines.
@@DonnieBoiTV throttle is page up and page down
for me the elcreonics will not start hen i press the right shift l nothing haspenes.
@@ninojajcinovic use windows home
Thanks, I have just started dcs and this really helped me. Great video.
I've definitely overlooked this module. It looks great fun to play. I'm going to take a break from my Hnd for a bit.
You managed to take off with a heavy plane without flaps. That was risky :)
I am really getting my money's worth out of this tutorial.
money? wdym money dcs is free and su25t is also free
@@TotRuAv0015 it’s just a saying, meaning he’s getting a lot of information compared to the little amount of investment he’s putting in, in this case time but money is just the usual saying. Same thing as “bang for your buck”
@@tedcraboli8021 oh thanks
Z and X are rudder to move plane to the right or left when moving the plane with page up. I was looking long time in controls to find that as a total newbie. To start a plane press shift and L first.
Then press shift and home to start all engines. Then keep pressing page up until the switch in the plane is all the way up. And keep driving the plane to left or right with z and x Then with arrow
keys in keyboard keep pressing down arrow to fly up. : ) Hope this helps. You should be in the air now. That is all i did to get up in the air. Now i need to figure out how to control plane well in the air.
how do i lower that electrical power switch noise and that radio of russians screaming into the micrphone
Awesome video, extremely helpful
I'm glad this video is finally taking off, and people find it useful :)
OMG TYSM FOR THE HELP.
I have been struggling with the tutorials, you know, the ones with the gates, so this tutorial was very helpful for me.
Thanks!
❤
I love the scale too. Like, your travelling at like 200ft per second. Just to put things into perspective, at mach 3 you are travelling at 2283 miles per hour, which translates to 3348.4 ft per second. None of the little buildings or trains etc would be anything more than a blur whipping past below you. I wonder how many real fighter pilots have played this and found themselves laughing their heads off 😂
Very well done. Thank you for the effort
just realized this game existed, downloaded it, had a hardish time learning what the hell was what, appreciate your video, really cleared a up a lot of things for me
Thanks, this tutorial was very helpful for a complete beginner!
I have one question though, how do you actually find and lock on to targets? I find things like tanks are really hard to find, or by the time I actually find them, I'm past them.
IIRC in the missions they’re marked on the mini map, and usually at waypoints
@@TiJayFLY Thanks, I'll make use of that.
Thank you so much for this very simple but very VERY informative video you got my sub and the bell is in full effect like a fox 1 😆.... thanks again have a great one I wish you and your family success and a happy life my brotha🖖🏾👏🏾🤝🏾
Glad you found it useful, thanks for the sub!
Thank you... i really enjoyed ur video.
Nice video and thanks. Dude, things in flight simulations have changed drastically since I played Jane's USAF! I don't have a joystick yet because I'm in the phase of considering which one to choose, so after a huge download from Steam, I tried to control it only with the keyboard and mouse - ouch, a very painful experience! Maybe that's why it seems to me that the Su-25 is quite stiff and unstable in turns in this way, but I hope that the use of a stick will help me a lot to stop crashing every ten minutes.
Thrustmsater t16000m and its hotas is a good start
@@eastyorkie1972 Thanks man, that's device I thought, and it's also inside my budget limits. Scary part is the fact that there is no option for spare parts (switches, springs, etc) but I hope it's not so soft in use
@@kennylongnose4001 I've only had mine 2 weeks and so far so good.
@@eastyorkie1972 That's good to know; I found in germany a T.16000M HOTAS for less than 100€ ... it seems like good price!
@@kennylongnose4001 Other than random usb disconnect, sometimes hotas throttle not detected at windows startup as mine is connected via a 7 port hub, never disconnected during a game, I'm having a blast with it,.. Dcs is bloody hard tho
This is great 👌 (from me, another noob). To speed ppls understanding and hopefully increase the number of players, possible to add indexes for each section?
Yes I should add time stamps 😁 I will do it soon thanks
@@TiJayFLY thanks TJ. But really, awesome tutorial. I have very limited time to fly so every little bit helps. Yours so far has been best for me as it is quick and simple. Next would be a guide to recommend key bindings shorts on the flight stick. But no pressure! Haha, one day I will own a hotas... One day....
In 10 mins that's helped me a lot, cheers
Ngl I thought this module was hard to fly when I first started out, and all I had was an XBOX controller. Now that I have a HOTAS and own the F-16, F-18, A-10C II, F-14, AH-64D apache, and some FC3 planes, I'm realizing how simple this actually is to fly. (Even with my XBOX controller I could fly every aircraft I mentioned here except the apache. I did however fly the Huey with the controller.
Thx for the video , you simplified everything and made 1 video
sweet just got into DCS , exactly what I needed !!
Thank you so much I was so intimidated about DCS now i'm not thank you!
Nice vid. Thanks! I'm also a noob. I'm a bit aggravated. Perhaps, you can help since I cannot find any help anywhere else address this issue. I set up a solo mission in the editor for practice. I set up 8 waypoints with the 8th being a "landing". Problem? I followed your auto-pilot instructions; Press 1, ALT+6 to follow waypoints. I get to waypoint #1 just fine. Plane begins to bank towards what I thought was WP #2. However, the plane just continues to bank and after a minute or so it begins to descend rapidly when it should be leveling off and climbing towards WP #2. If, I just let auto-pilot run the show it just descends into the ground every time. WTH am I doing wrong???
The AP is just a bit dodgy in this plane tbh, especially in a heavy aircraft.
@@TiJayFLY Ah, ok. Then I guess I'm not doing anything wrong when editing? I guess I just have to manual fly it. Just have to learn alot more about navigating I guess.*sigh* Thanks! BTW, I'm learning with a keyboard and mouse as I wait for my joystick to arrive. A bit of a pain in the ass to fly manually by keyboard.
@@PanaGringoBarefootBass follow the reticle on the HUD for navigation. The indicator is correct, it’s just the AP script cant follow it correctly
@@TiJayFLY Right on...thanks, mate! I've finally got a new computer that will run DCS and waiting for a cheapo Logitech joystick to be delivered to me in Panama. In the meantime, I bought FC3 last night and learning/practicing using a keyboard/mouse. If it weren't for these various videos I'd be totally lost. ATM, I'm learning the A10 in a practice scenario I created in mission editor. Hopefully, I'll be a bit more proficient with the workings of this thing once my joystick arrives. In theory anyway. Again, cheers mate!
ctrl+c opens the canopy! That was a bit of a surprise mid air.
It’s possible that default key bindings have changed in the 3 years since this video was made. If you do find any discrepancies, the new binding will be listed in the options menu in DCS itself. Thanks for noting this one.
Ok thanks, Ill check. This has been useful - I just downloaded the game and am trying to get grips on the weapons side of it.
Then press right shift and HOUUME to start the engines
This is a super helpful tutorial! I plan on playing the game some before buying a module before the Sale ends. Is there a cheat sheet of all the buttons you mentioned in this video?
I’m not aware of one (although I’m sure it exists!) it may be easier to scribble down your own cheat sheet, so you don’t have to return to the video many times
@@TiJayFLY Alright. Thank you very much for the help!
Excellent video! Thanks
Thanks for this. I was completely lost and the In game tutorial was hard to pay attention to and follow
This really helped!
I find it pretty funny that there are 12 times as many controls as there are buttons on the cockpit too. Like, its a good job the developers dont design real planes, the switches would be so crammed into the cockpit that you wouldnt be able to press just one, youd be hitting 4 at a time 🤣
What about the all-important FLAPS, YAW and TRIM. It would be almost impossible to successfully take-off, fly and land without those, particularly with weighted arms. And for those who want realism, there aren't shortcut keys in the real world, you would have to use your fingers/hand/feet to adjust controls. Let's not go into lights! Also, the gear was raised way too early and you probably found that taking off and getting a decent ROC was difficult because the FLAPS weren't set and neither was take-off TRIM.
The SU25 is entirely hot key operated in DCS, there are no click spots. The game also has more detailed tutorials for those who want to do/learn more than the basics of how to go up, drop some kaboom sticks, and come back down again :)
@@TiJayFLY Hi. I just noticed that hardly anything is interactable. That's incredible - though I suppose it is a free demo plane. (not great for demonstration though). I guess it will all have to be hotkeys.
I think the reason you didn't get the kill with the missiles was that you were out of range. The R-60 is a short ranged "dogfight" missile, 3NM is stretching its limits way too much
Don't forget to press F to put your flaps up after takeoff. Rookie mistake on my end.
3:55 caption: [Applause]
indeed
When I take off and hit g my landing gear will retract but when it comes time to land I hit g again or even shift or alt g whichever is to lower the gear and the flap will open but the wheels won’t deploy. And after that I can’t open or close the hatch or do anything with the landing gear lever. Help
@@Hezzymayne you may be better off asking on a DCS forum or discord, I don’t play much DCS since making this
@@TiJayFLY fair enough thank you!
Great tutorial
loved the video and laughed at the end when i heard now u know the basics of how yo fly a russian fighter jet XD
yes, maybe that hasn't aged too well..!
i closed the canopy!!!!!! wooo
Really good tutorial
Just when you thought there couldnt be anything worse than Tinylimp (Microsoft) Flight Simulator...
DLC...I mean, DCS! 🤣
This is the best tutorial
great video
You make the landing seem so easy. I have tried and tried to land this plane and I can't land it well. Is there something that I am missing?
Nope just practice 😄
Update. I landed the plane. Even though I touched pavement, without making the plane explode this time, I was able to decelerate by deploying my chute, applying air brakes, and wheel brakes. Only thing I forgot to do was lower my throttle and I went into the grass. I was able to get out of the grass. However, my right landing gear tire exploded. I am still able to taxi the plane where I got it from. Only issue is I doubt there is a discount tire that services landing gear tires, let alone there ever being one in Russia. I might be a bit sol there.
so i thought for the longest time that the frogfoot was only a pve plane, have i been fooled
My su-25t makes a constant beeping noise when i turn, what is causing that?
Was trying to follow this and got confused about a warning in game, Apparently before I even took off a random system failed.. Nice Guide by the way.
Hmm. I didn’t realise failures were on by default. There’ll be an option to switch them off
@@TiJayFLY Nah they aren't but I forgot to switch it off, Then didn't realize why I had a Women speaking in Russian for about 10 minutes before I crashed, Had something called Hyro or whatever fail I think? Anywho cheers for the information either way.
The game tells me to have zero power setting on my throttle but my throttle is at zero and my engines still won’t start, is there something I’m missing? I’m using the thrustmaster t16000m set.
Make sure your hardware throttle is calibrated - you can also use page up/down to move the throttle to make sure it’s exactly at idle
how to operate wihtout keyboard? where is that siwtches on the panels?
There are no click spots, this plane is hotkey driven. You’ll need to reassign the controls to joystick buttons if you don’t have keyboard input
For 5:36, would you have to keep you finger on the fire button until it reaches it's target, or just until it leaves the missile rail?
I believe with laser designated stuff it’s until target
@@TiJayFLY I think you got it mixed up with the fact that laser missiles have to stay locked to the target at all time, laser guided anything you just have to hold down the fire button until it is launched but if you ever unlock your target the missiles will go stupid
@@shoemannclara thank you! It’s been a while since I made this
For some reason, I can not taxi in the Su-25T. The plane just won't move unless it's at full throttle, and I have not found a fix anywhere I've looked. If anyone has found a solution to this problem please let me know because I don't want to have to spawn in the air every time.
@@SirRemingtonBeowulf did you take the parking brake off?
@@TiJayFLY Idk how😭
thanks!
This was very helpful but when I do most the things they just don’t work, like when I try to pick my desired weapons it just doesn’t do anything
Make sure they’re actually equipped in your load out
Noob here do u have any advice on setting up a joystick? I got the logitech extreme 3d pro notn fancy but will get that later.
It should pretty much work as soon as you plug it in. Stick should pick up as pitch roll yaw, and twist should assign as rudder. If not, it’s super easy to assign these axes yourself. You’ll likely have to assign throttle but that’s just the same.
Why does my landing gear not go down?
I tried to land during the tutorial and the plane kept fighting me until it eventually drove itself and me into the ground, there was a constant alarm too, what do I do to stop this happening next time?
Usually more power and less weight
@@TiJayFLY gotcha
@@catto4428 oh and flaps! Don’t forget flaps!
@@TiJayFLY i did the mission on my own without using the instructions from the tutorial, flaps n all and I landed without warnings as the tutorial makes you go super slow, hit the runway at 300kph but slowed down pretty fast so i spose i should try to trust my gut lol
One thing to keep in mind is; that More Height = More Throttle, Less Height = Less Throttle. To go Faster put the Nose down, Slower pull the nose up.
Do it gently when trying to land, you know? Pete
THANK YOU
It's a attack plane not a fighter. But loved the video regardless
I know - I used a generic / more recognised term for mass market appeal :)
wait where is the home button on your keyboard?
Varies by territory, maybe missing in some layouts but you can reassign as required in options
Good video. Subbed.
Thank you
We need one for VR, man..
Is that even possible on this airplane? Everything is hot keys, nothing is clickable
I'm not sure- VR may only be available for some fully rendered / kitted out jets. I only started today, exucuse my stupidity lol.@@TiJayFLY
I have a 60% keyboard so i don't have a numpad or the home key can i still play the game? I have spent the past 26 hours downloading this game just to find that i don't have the right key to start the engine. (I also don't have arrow keys)
You can reassign any keybind in Options :)
Every time I turn on the power, this red light flashes making this noise, and my plane dosent move regardless if i move the throttle or not. Anyone know why?
Wait....my dials and...ermmm dashboard look very pixelated, how do I mitigate that?
Higher resolution and detail settings?
@@TiJayFLY Yep, fixed that, I thought Su-25 loks shit because its free but actually I am an idiot
The pitching is absolutely awful too. The limit of most planes is the pilot, not the plane, the pilot would be blacking out before the plane stalls from pitching at a steep angel (like 8° in this game 🤣)
This jet took a whole lot less to start-up than anticipated... is thatba setting in the options or is it just that simple to turn on a jet?
These things are designed to be started in a hurry!
Quick question. I find the plane does not fly level. I am constantly having to pull back on the stick to keep it level. Is this normal?
It’s pretty heavy when loaded. I believe you can trim it out
Had the same problem try messing with trim
Trim it out to keep it level. Constantly trimming is part of flying.
how does your dcs su25t look so good. I had just got dcs and its looks low quality
Check your resolution and graphics settings
The keybinds are the biggest barrier for me getting into DCS I remember I thought Arma 3 keybinds were complicated lol. IDK what is important enough to bind to my crappy logitech 3d extreme joystick there is so much stuff to worry about.
Most planes are less hotkey-driven than this one and have physical mouse-clickable switches.
I have aquestion, when I finish starting up the engines and I pus the throttle, it doesn't move, what can I do?
Is the parking brake on
Your game is SO bright.
I used a video editor filter in the past when I made this
um what did you say is to close canopy??
Left Ctrl & C
As much as I would love to test this tutorial and fly my game freezes halfway on free flight I tried every other version and same issue. Do you have any ideas of how to fix this? I am using a windows 10.
Your best bet for this is to ask on a DCS forum 👍 I’m sure someone will have seen it before
Hey very helpfull, but there's one problem I haven't solved. When I turn in the SU-25T it always gives me that alarm and then it spins out or something and just points straight down.
Sounds like airspeed / stall alarm to me. Check weight, load out and power.
Dont turn to hard, youll enter a flatspin.
This comment saved me so much time compared to the of tutorial
Can you do the f15
Maybe :)
I can't get the engines to start. I get electrical power and when I start the engines, the engine lights flicker and then turn off. Is there something else that I need to do? I have weapons on the pylons.
Throttle on idle?
hello this is a good vid but when im in a dog fight and i hear the beep my misiles wont shoot and yes i press the shoot button
nvm found the problem
What was it? I didn't know off the top of my head, sorry.
Hey so i put my wind at 0 right and when i take off the plane just sort of drifts to the right. Do you have any idea whats causing this? and i cant takeoff my plane pitches up a bit and falls into the ground
More power, less weight, evenly distributed. Flaps on takeoff
The canon is offset.
For some reason when I click w the wheel brakes don't go off
Check your key assignments
ผมชอบมันๆดูแข็งแรง แต่มันก็น่ารัก
DCS should pay you for tutorial. nice.
how do you get your cockpit resolution so bloody high?
These were the default settings DCS assigned - I believe it auto-configures based on PC specs. You can adjust this stuff manually in Options, but it’ll affect frames
i cant get the left bumper to stop moving the mouse and i get an error that says error when fetching remote server data
Sounds like you need to file a support ticket or ask on DCS forums
the thing that doesn't make sense is right shift home I don't know what home or Wich key it is
Keyboard layouts may vary between countries. Check the control assignments in DCS itself and it may be mapped to something else in your territory. UK and US English full size keyboards will have a Home button, usually to the left of the number pad.
now i fucking know how to use thw su-25t
How does everyone fly so easily? I cant do anything else my thing starts beeping and i lose control massively
More power less pitch 👍
but how to drop boms cause with me if i press on left ctrl and c the cabin is opening
Check the key binds menu, they can vary if you’ve made any changes to defaults 👍
How am I supposed to remember all the commands? Do you just have to write them down?
Yes 😄 pause the video regularly and make notes - you’ll drive yourself mad if you try to remember all this stuff.
They are all listed in the game’s Option menu too, of course. But there’s a lot of stuff in there, whereas this video only has the “important” ones
Tysm
whenever i finally get into the air its like the plane goes out of control, why is that?
Sounds like your pitch is too high for your speed and weight? Try less weight, more power and a lower attitude.
@@TiJayFLY thank you! i've been looking for a solution to this for ages
auto pilot with left out and 6 aswell like what button on a keyboard is that
Left Alt
Dude why did you add su25 not su25t on the thumbnail?
Very hard finding royalty free pictures of SU25s… and I couldn’t tell the difference 😂
@@TiJayFLY oh okay
It does not let me start up the engines
What happens when the buttons that are assigned, like turning on the radar, don't actually do anything and the camera jitter that has the jet moving around like a can of paint in a paint shaker and probably would actually kill the pilot, makes me want to throw up just looking at the screen.
Sounds like stuff that can all be set in options (checking key assignments for radar, adjusting head movement etc)
@@TiJayFLYIt is set. Hence the reason it works 50% of the time. And where do you adjust camera jitter??? Not that it would ever actually be like that, the jet is moving back and forth like an inch and a half. That would A be tearing the jet apart and B kill the pilot. And you can adjust the incredible feeble maximum pitching angel???
what does 'right out' mean? you said right out + comma, idk what right out is
Right Alt 😁
when i try to go up with my arrow keys, it just stays on where i pointed it how can i make it so it goes back to its original position
That’s vertical trim. There are hot keys assigned in the sim on PC and Xbox so you can set it :)
@@TiJayFLY uhh how do i edit it so the stick on my plane doesnt stay in the same place vertically when i try to take off
damn my playned keeps going to the it wont let me even take off what am I doing wrong ?
If you’re heavy you’ll likely need flaps. I should have turned them on tbh!
