Best starter plane for SIM

It doesn’t have a radar I’m pretty sure but it can carry some smart-bombs so there’s some keybinds there to get that working properly

I have not flown the Yak-38, I skipped straight to Yak-141 but I see it mostly like a gimmick, a fun plane to bring out every now and then, nothing I would main.

It has R60’s at a pretty low BR and thrust vectoring so you can take on anything in a dogfight

Both. Friendly markers just like realistic do appear if you get close enough to a firendly (but not an enemy)

P38 is a pretty good starter plane. it’s very stable and has good firepower.

Yeah, that’s what I was asking for.

Okay thanks

Alright thanks

I heard that it’s good. Any specifics one? I have all the TT ones except the G

Yep, with those bombs I think you’ll be fine with just switch camera view (to enter camera of the bomb/targeting camera), switch secondary weapon and fire secondary weapon keybinds

Actually it has the bullpup, manually guided rocket. Basically the same keybinds as you used when steering the rocket on that bomber for the event that gave us the Losat/F100

Okay. Like you said I’ll DM you if I need help

A-4E may also have SAS Damping mode, which is handy to learn sim with

A-4E can also make use of CCRP. ( I think) but for now. Id not look too deep into it, and just focus on flying the aircraft… but Here is a CCRP guide for you in the future.

Cool. I can also recommend joining some sim discords

Oh I didn’t get any of those

Okay, thanks. I am working on getting discord right now so I’ll try hooking up with some people when I get it

Okay, thanks!

It’s these keybinds, took a screenshot from my controls guide.


Yaw and pitch axis for aimed weapons

Okay. Can you link that guide if you or someone else haven’t already

It’s my sim controls guide for controller, not super relevant to your HOTAS probably but you can use it for future reference

(just googled some file-sharing site since I can’t upload PDF’s here)

Okay thanks

p38g is solid as is the P38j

Actually, I briefly explain some important keybinds for sim in white text with a red arrow on some of the pages in the guide, check it out. You can probably find some useful stuff
