Do not give up too early, its worth it.
With DCS, system studying can become even "worse".

Superpak SP 3 or 4 should help, too. |
Thank you very much! I haven't looked into any of the manuals yet, I'm in a bit of a rush today. Is there a quick-reference key binding guide anywhere? I have been looking for and found a button-map file for my HOTAS that i've downloaded to get started. Plan is to dive in this week. Read some of the manuals this week and then start flying next saturday.
If there are any checklist pages or quick-reference guides I can print out and have with me at my desk, that would be great.

With flying, its comparable. You should know the basics and essentials before joining MP. |
This is exactly true.
Racing is easily compared to flying, definitely. I wouldn't put the burden of my lack of knowledge onto my wingmen.
Nobody likes a Blue Falcon.
