    Have you ever wanted to play DCS World, but decided against it just because you couldn't afford a HOTAS? Well, I'm here to show you that a HOTAS is NOT necessary. As long as you have a standard console controller by your side, you too can hop into the skies and play DCS World! Just follow this tutorial for setting up your controller using Steam, download and import controller profiles I created many different DCS World aircraft, and just like that you will be able to fly like Maverick from Top Gun pulling cobras to defeat your enemies!
    Just remember - YOU are now the reason you will either enjoy or hate DCS World. It's a tough game after all! But at least now you can give it a shot in the first place. So please, enjoy, and maybe I'll see you in the skies!

    !! IMPORTANT: If you're coming from my old gamepad tutorials, make sure you remove the old shoulder button modifiers in DCS. They are typically called Joy Button 5 and 6. If you don't remove them, none of the modified actions will work!! (thanks JetWay for bringing this to my attention)

      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.

    • @Tuuvas
      @Tuuvas  2 месяца назад +2

      Go to Controls Menu -> Select the aircraft you're setting up -> Click the "Modifiers" button on the bottom left -> Select any custom modifiers and remove them -> save changes

      @Tuuvas Thanks, I worked it out. Is the switching to mouse cursor instead of camera not available in the flaming cliffs modules?

    • @Tuuvas

      It is not since flaming cliffs modules don't have clickable cockpits. This also applies to the Su-25T.

    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!

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.

    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!

      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)

    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  3 месяца назад

      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.

    Hey Tuuvas. I’ve successfully used your Apache pilot profile for use with an Xbox controller. I’ve now switched to a PS4 controller for the trackpad & gyro etc. However, when I go to the control options in DCS game menu, it still has the Xbox controller listed, not the PS4 controller, is this normal? The PS4 controller has been enabled and configured in steam/settings/controller & in the DCS controller settings config in steam too.

    • @Tuuvas
      @Tuuvas  Месяц назад

      Yup that's normal. This is because Steam creates a virtual "Xbox 360" controller for whatever game Steam is running. So while DCS doesn't know you're using a PS4 controller, Steam does. And Steam will still translate your gyro and trackpad actions into Xbox 360 actions.

      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.

    My question is, I don't use steam, just the DCS world stand alone version. Will the binds shown, will the bumper/mouse commands work as shown, or will I have to manually add them? Adding profiles given will keep the full functionality without using steam whatsover? (mouse commands, etc)

    • @Tuuvas
      @Tuuvas  2 месяца назад

      In order to use my profiles in DCS, you MUST at least set up Keyboard Left ALT on L1/LB and Right ALT on R1/RB using some form of remapping software. It can be Steam, Input Mapper, DS4Windows, reWASD, joystick gremlin, etc. Steam was just the most commonly used application, hence why this guide is centered around it.
      But since Steam is also used to remap mouse movement, clicking, and scrolling - that means whatever alternative software you use also needs to remap mouse controls to your controller.

      Yeah, there's a lot of upfront set up. Especially if you don't plan to use Steam as that renders my 30min tutorial nearly useless to you. But once you've got the mouse and keyboard remaps in place, you can download and import any of my layouts - which is arguably 99.9% of the work done for you with a few simple clicks.

    • @Tuuvas
      @Tuuvas  2 месяца назад

      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 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.

      No problem! If you followed my old Steam/DCS controller tutorials, what you HAVE to make sure to do is not just reset existing binds, but more importantly, remove any custom modifiers. For example, if you had left and right bumpers added as modifiers, you MUST remove them from the modifiers list. Otherwise none of the Left/Right modifier binds will work from my new profiles
