My first flight I did not know if my electronics were on, ( I was in the air) so I hit left ctrl C thinking that they would turn on, I was rewarded with my canopy taring off and a super loud audio effect
LMAO been there myself. I was in flight in a different plane... and i know ctrl C is canopy... but... i was just mashing buttons to see how to turn the weapon system on... and ... RIP... and i was playing with a friend at the time and i said... "what ever you do... do not look at my plane" he looked and laughed his ass off.
Oh Shit - in just 15 minutes of watching your video I have already learnt so much more about this game than the scripted tutorial showed me. Bloody good job mate I start flying tomorrow!
Tried some flight sims back in the ‘90s and lost interest due to the learning curve. Fast forward to 2024, I have more patience and thanks to TH-camrs like Rob, I’m actually learning something this time. Very good series, so far!
The entire Su-25T series is beyond reproach. Complete, comprehensive, and thorough without being information overload. Sometimes I felt you went on a bit much on a couple topics, but that's my issue, not a problem with the video. I'm using this video series to make a series of checklists I can use. Thank you Very Much!
I just installed DCS World last night, and started a quick play mission in mid flight without reading instructions or controls. I couldn't stay in the air, and crashed. Thanks Robert, GOOD JOB!
If like me you are a noob to DCS then hands down this is the best SU-25T training series I have come across on TH-cam. Spoken at a sensible speed and very clearly described this has helped me get to grips with the many controls and methods required to fly this plane. Excellent work Rob, with great production, I watched 0-3 this morning and plan to watch the rest after this comment. Thank you very much, liked (alot!) and subscribed.
Thank you so much Robert for putting together these awesome video tutorials! I've been trying real hard to learn this sim but have been very frustrated with the lack of tutorials and instructions that a non-pilot could understand. I was about to delete DCS World from my computer but now I'm loving this game thanks to your videos. They are really fantastic! You're very good at this, please keep the tutorials coming.
Just got into DCS and I was trying the Su-25 today for the first time. This tutorial has been extremely helpful in getting me off the ground. Thanks for posting and sharing your knowledge!
Thanks! I know it's been a long time coming (life has an annoying habit of getting in the way) but as soon as DCS 2.5 is released, the tutorials will be continuing. I may re-record these Su-25T tutorials while at the same time releasing new videos for the TF-51D Mustang (and thus providing training videos for both of the free aircraft available in DCS World).
As I replied on the other comment you left me on the Prologue video: "The language spoken is related to the country that the plane identifies as. Change the Su25T's country to an English speaking country in the mission editor for English dialog. The Su25T that I fly in these tutorials is a Georgian plane." You have to open the mission editor, click on your Su-25T and change the Country to Georgia. You cannot get English dialog over the radio in the campaigns at this time.
Thank God there is a tutorial that somebody actually knows what they are talking about and not stumbling for words. You have made it 100 times easier to understand all the systems and fly the aircraft, Thanks you. P.S. which one is next 😊
Thanks for these tutorials! I have just returned to DCS after a 3 year lay off and naturally started up with DCS World. The Su25T they provide is a great simulation. Obviously no mouse clicks so its a HOTAS profile to fly it properly! I was fully "typed" on the Hog and the Black Shark, but after a long lay off flying these this is a nice challenge!! Thanks again.
Oh man, the section on Taxing was super helpful! I've been trying to find info on how to do it properly and no one seemed to go into very much detail about it, or about the point of the various light configurations. So glad I found this video, keep 'em coming!
this video got me intro dcs, thank you so much. I started as a noob and barely understood how to start, let alone taxi. I now fly the f-18c with ease and can shoot rockets, bombs, guns, missiles, you name it.
A nice balanced and simple tutorial, you nave convinced me to watch the rest and give the SU-25 a go, it is an aircraft I have never really used in DCS. Many thanks.
Robert, I just found this game/simul today (Better late than never right?) and you did an OUTSTANDING job on this tutorial! I look forward to watching the rest of this series, and your upcoming work. Thank you!
No problem! Your comment actually made me go look it up to see if you were correct. It never made sense to me that the engines would be spinning at 100rpm (10 x10) so I always just kind of assumed it stood for percentage of full RPM. I'm sure when they release the updated cockpit for the Su-25T (which is currently being worked on, will be free, but no ETA on release) they'll fix the gauge to represent x10% as shown in the manual. :)
Thanks for this, I've been thinking about trying DCS World but was a little put off by the complexity (I have no flight sim experience at all). This is very clear and convinced me to give it a shot. Looking forward to watching the others.
Not mandatory but very very highly recommended. You can use something cheap such as the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro for the Su-25T and Flaming Cliffs level planes but you might want to consider something more elaborate such as the Saitek x52 for the higher fidelity sims such as DCS A-10C, DCS Ka-50 or DCS P-51D.
One more thing you might want to check - make sure if you're using a joystick that has a throttle, the throttle must be set at 0 before you can start your engines. So slide it all the way backward before trying RAlt + Home or RCtrl + Home to start your engines.
Wow.. Bravo.. Extremely informative, great tutorial. All tuts need to be like this one. I must say.. The startup procedure in this one is an absolute CAKEWALK than in DCS: A-10 lol.. I suppose it needs to be seeing as it looks to be catering to a crowd that doesn't want to spend 15 minutes just starting up the aircraft :P
These videos are great if your new to flying simulators. If you already know the basics of theory of flight or instrumentation then they can be long in the tooth.
It would be a great investment, I'm waiting for the consumer version! I don't know how useful it would end up being with DCS considering you have to still be able to see your keyboard while flying to switch modes, etc. Use TrackIR myself but for these tutorials I'm presenting as if I were a new player who didn't want to invest a bunch of money in gear just to get in the air. So I've got my TrackIR disabled and am just using basic joystick controls and keyboard commands for everything else. :)
Hi Robert, my is BigRen, and I just retired and very new at DCS World. I'm very happy to have found it and also very happy to have landed on one of your tutorial for the SU-25T. The first tutorial you have your SU-25T park in some kind of little hanger. My question is what are steps to get there, thank you so much BigRen
You seem to have a pilot body in the cockpit, while I don't. Been playing DCS World Steam edition. The same plane Su-25T. Great series of tutorials, by the way! Liked and subscribed.
Check your control configuration. Go to Options > Controls and make sure the Su-25T layer is selected in the first drop down list. Then in the second drop down list, select "Systems" and find the "Engine Left Start" / "Engine Right Start" actions and see what the key command listed is.
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing. I'm having a blast flying in DCS with the Oculus Rift but found the in-game tutorial hard to follow (atleast with the haedset on). This helped alot.
I really appreciate this series. Just one small comment though. I am pretty sure that the Tachometer is not the percentage of revolutions, as the gauge says RPM meaning "Revolutions per Minute".
This has already been asked and answered in the first comment of this video. I personally have a joystick with a throttle slider so that's what I use, but the default keyboard commands for Throttle Up / Throttle Down are Page Up / Page Down.
Ah my mistake. The picture in the manual includes a nx10% on it while the one in game just says x10. Sorry about that. Again, thanks for the videos. They are pretty helpful for getting into the game.
No, the game keeps running at its normal speed. You CAN control the game's run speed by holding Ctrl+Z to speed up time or Alt+Z to slow time down. You should also be able to pause the game by pressing the "Pause/Break" key if your keyboard has one.
Not yet, but don't rule it out. :-) Just started an updated training series for the Su25T and am also producing training for the A-10C... F/A-18 is my favorite aircraft of all time though, so I imagine that will be coming sometime after the module is out of early access and a bit more stable.
I know a bit about flying planes. I know that the right pedal on the floor is your accelerator and the left pedal is your brake. The lever in your right hand does the landing gear. The stick in the middle or to the side of you is what makes you move. Push it forward and you go up pull in back to go down. Pulling it left or right will make you point the nose in that direction. If you need to know anything else don't hesitate to ask. I love being so smart. Hoped this helped.
Practice, of course! You can also print out the handy controls list that I linked in the video description. It contains the majority of the keyboard commands that you'll be using while operating the Su-25T.
The Absolutely best Tutorial for my favorite plane. In all DCS World I honestly think Su-25T is the best, I love everything about it. And you my friend killed it. thank you very much I indeed learned a lot. Videos are about year old but I don't see a lot of changes and that's a good thing. Only one thing I really hope that we have or can download scenarios or mission for 25T cause I see few a few missions and only 1 that I can play.
In the Su25T the switches and buttons in the cockpit are not functional. You need to fly one of the Professional Flight Model aircraft, which come with fully modeled avionics systems in order to interact with the cockpit. The A-10C, Ka-50, UH-1H, P-51D, and many of the other modules have interactive cockpits. The Flaming Cliffs series aircraft (of which the Su25T is a member) do not.
for does of you that have been asking how to throttle up and down, you use the + and - on the num pad, do do only one use right-alt, or right-ctrl then + or - right alt is the right engine, right ctrl is the left engine
@8:55 it says we're pointed at a heading of about 245*, however, the indicator looks more like 345*, which you did say correctly later in the map view. in case anyone is looking at the compass and getting confused by that. @12:16 he says 245* again.... -_-
"Tachometer Tachometer is intended for measuring rotor RPM of both engines. Measuring is indexed in percent from maximum rotor RPM." Su-25T Flight Manual, page 12. Percent RPM. =)
i need some help with my graphics settings i have everything set to max but when i load up a mission it goes to a lower resolution i have it set to 1920 by 1080
I'm a bit curious about the cockpit and the pilot's body, no matter the settings I use, I can't seem to see these as you do when I fly the SU-25T. Also, the cockpit looks a bit more sharp and jagged, rather than my cockpit which happens to have softer, more rounded edges
Question: If I wanted to get the 'full' flight sim experience, can you recommend any good flight switch panels, sticks, etc for general use? I plan on using the setup for both flight simming and air/space flight simulators/games.
How do you get English over the radio???? Rob, very good videos. I especially like the English radio. In the version of DCS SU-25that I have the radio chatter is all in Russian. While this is very authentic and seems realistic it would be very helpful to hear English over the radio. I appreciate that the text in the upper left corner is in English but for training it would be nice to hear English.
Hi Rob, I'm new to simflight and I'm going to buy DCS A-10 (now I'm playing with DCSW Su25T with keyboard only, but It's impossible!). Can you please suggest a good and cheap joystick for DCS? and which's yours? Thx in adv.
Hi Robert, can I ask you what rudder pedals do you use/recommend? I currently have the Thrustmaster hotas and I am ready to start with you super Su25T tutorials. When you have a chance. Thanks in advance. Lelo
I'm using the MFG Crosswind pedals but they were expensive. You can always take a look at a cheaper set (which I recommend especially if you're not used to using rudder pedals because they do take a little getting used to). I've had the Saitek (now Logitech) G Pro Flight pedals and they're decent, but I've also heard good things about the CH Pro Pedals. Good luck!
Thanks Robert, as always responding so fast and with good criteria. I will narrow my decision between the CH Pro and the Thrustmaster TFRP pedals. Great help! Again, thanks!
Hallo!!! How did you get your cockpit without the glare reflections? I can’t see through mine. Just getting into DCS and struggling to see we acquiring a target
This was posted 8 years ago and before they updated the Su25T model or the game engine to support things like glass reflections. :-) Not sure you'll be able to get around that now :(
Great Video! Which Airport did you use? And how did you do the setup? How did you get that Cold and Dark position? SORRRY!!! Just found out, you have a "Prologue"!
IDK if i could control the plane using the keyboard tho on air. I can fly the plane from the runway but it will roll and dive immediately and i can't control it. Maybe i missed something from the tutorial.
Hi, Could you tell how to change the language on the hud & also audio from Russion to English for the SU25T . I can't seem to find anything in the controls to change this. Thanks in advance
I'll be recording and editing the next tutorial as soon as a hot fix comes out for the recently released 1.2.5 patch. The patch broke a few things with the game engine and I don't want to film the next installment until these issues have been addressed. Hopefully, if the hot fix is released tomorrow as planned, I'll have Part 2 of this tutorial up by Friday. It discusses takeoff procedure and some basic navigation.
You can turn on the ground using the rudder left / rudder right controls as explained in the video. By default the keys are Z and X. To turn in the air, you move your joystick left or right until the aircraft rolls to the left or right, and you pull back slightly to maintain a neutral climb rate. Watch Parts 2 and 3 of this tutorial series for more information on turning an airplane. You could also read the manual for the Su-25T (it is included with DCS World).
My first flight I did not know if my electronics were on, ( I was in the air) so I hit left ctrl C thinking that they would turn on, I was rewarded with my canopy taring off and a super loud audio effect

HAHAHA can you imagine doing that in real life? "Oh hey, this red handle must be my electrical OH FUCK NO IT'S NOT, NO IT IS NOT! IMMEDIATE REGRET!"
Lol, I'm laughing both because I'm commenting on a 2 yr old post and because I've totally done this before in a BF-109

John Richo np, I my phone doesnt like getting the link for some stuff so i couldnt link it for ya
also radio voices; www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1412070/
this video got me intro dcs, thank you so much. I started as a noob and barely understood how to start, let alone taxi. I now fly the f-18c with ease and can shoot rockets, bombs, guns, missiles, you name it.
A nice balanced and simple tutorial, you nave convinced me to watch the rest and give the SU-25 a go, it is an aircraft I have never really used in DCS. Many thanks.
A very good and quiet explantion. I needed that. Thanks Robert!
As stated in the video, the wheel brakes can be used by holding down the W key.
Robert, I just found this game/simul today (Better late than never right?) and you did an OUTSTANDING job on this tutorial! I look forward to watching the rest of this series, and your upcoming work. Thank you!
Thanks!
Watching in 2022, this looks like a totally different game.
Im brazilian and Im learning so much with your tutorials congrats

SO HELPFUL! Please continue the series, I'd love to watch them.
Robert,
Great job on the videos, really enjoyed using as a refresher to start flying DCS again. Look forward to any additional work you add.
Thanks for this, I've been thinking about trying DCS World but was a little put off by the complexity (I have no flight sim experience at all). This is very clear and convinced me to give it a shot. Looking forward to watching the others.
Better than some videos I've seen of first impressions. Some guys manage to detonate their plane.
Not mandatory but very very highly recommended. You can use something cheap such as the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro for the Su-25T and Flaming Cliffs level planes but you might want to consider something more elaborate such as the Saitek x52 for the higher fidelity sims such as DCS A-10C, DCS Ka-50 or DCS P-51D.

I suppose it needs to be seeing as it looks to be catering to a crowd that doesn't want to spend 15 minutes just starting up the aircraft :P
That is a fantastic idea. I'm recording Part 2 later today, and will see about adding them to the "steam guides" section when it's done.
Great vid for those who are new to dcs world, nice work!!!
These videos are great if your new to flying simulators. If you already know the basics of theory of flight or instrumentation then they can be long in the tooth.
It would be a great investment, I'm waiting for the consumer version! I don't know how useful it would end up being with DCS considering you have to still be able to see your keyboard while flying to switch modes, etc.
Use TrackIR myself but for these tutorials I'm presenting as if I were a new player who didn't want to invest a bunch of money in gear just to get in the air.
So I've got my TrackIR disabled and am just using basic joystick controls and keyboard commands for everything else. :)
Thank you soooooo much! I am very very new to flight sims (first day ever trying one) and the videos helped so much! You just earned a sub mate!

Great videos Rob. Very clear and detailed, followed video on a second monitor whilst I flew in DCS 2.0
Thank you.
You seem to have a pilot body in the cockpit, while I don't. Been playing DCS World Steam edition. The same plane Su-25T.
Great series of tutorials, by the way! Liked and subscribed.
Hey just wanna say awesome tutorials I'm a complete noob to DCS and these vids have helped me understand the sum soo much better again thanks ;)
Thanks!
see i been trying to take off for two days....I just started to watch this
Great video. Well detailed and thought out. Hope the rest are as good as this one!
Thank you . These made all the difference .
Happy to help!
Try reading the video comments. It has been explained multiple times already.
Hope this helps!
Check your control configuration. Go to Options > Controls and make sure the Su-25T layer is selected in the first drop down list. Then in the second drop down list, select "Systems" and find the "Engine Left Start" / "Engine Right Start" actions and see what the key command listed is.

Will you be doing any later tutorials on the a 10? I'm quite interested in getting that plane but slightly terrified too!
Thanks for this, I'm going to watch them all as a new pilot.
I really appreciate this series. Just one small comment though. I am pretty sure that the Tachometer is not the percentage of revolutions, as the gauge says RPM meaning "Revolutions per Minute".
Great job, start flying tomorrow .. these help a lot !
Good luck!
thanks !
Thanks a lot Captain Robert Sogomonian
Best tutorials.
Good tutorial! Looking forward to the more advanced lessons. Hope you have good tips on spotting targets.
what mission is this?
How to raise throtle
Thank you for these videos . Do you happen to have a button layout for the hotas warrhog?
I don't, but I should put together a video on how I go about binding the controls.
This has already been asked and answered in the first comment of this video. I personally have a joystick with a throttle slider so that's what I use, but the default keyboard commands for Throttle Up / Throttle Down are Page Up / Page Down.
Ah my mistake. The picture in the manual includes a nx10% on it while the one in game just says x10. Sorry about that. Again, thanks for the videos. They are pretty helpful for getting into the game.

Do you have a tutorial for the f18 ?
Not yet, but don't rule it out. :-) Just started an updated training series for the Su25T and am also producing training for the A-10C... F/A-18 is my favorite aircraft of all time though, so I imagine that will be coming sometime after the module is out of early access and a bit more stable.

dosnt light affect cockpits with shadows ect? bit disappointed it kills the emmersion
What key bind was it in 1:21 ??
The Absolutely best Tutorial for my favorite plane. In all DCS World I honestly think Su-25T is the best, I love everything about it. And you my friend killed it. thank you very much I indeed learned a lot. Videos are about year old but I don't see a lot of changes and that's a good thing. Only one thing I really hope that we have or can download scenarios or mission for 25T cause I see few a few missions and only 1 that I can play.
Hi. You should put these videos in the "steam guides" section for DCS world. People like myself will be very thankful.
Great tutorial. Looking forward to the next one!
The keyboard shortcuts are all very well, but what about using the actual switches & buttons in the cockpit?
In the Su25T the switches and buttons in the cockpit are not functional.
You need to fly one of the Professional Flight Model aircraft, which come with fully modeled avionics systems in order to interact with the cockpit. The A-10C, Ka-50, UH-1H, P-51D, and many of the other modules have interactive cockpits. The Flaming Cliffs series aircraft (of which the Su25T is a member) do not.
Great video thank you, just getting started, got good equipment and computer, but clueless. A lot reading to do.
for does of you that have been asking how to throttle up and down, you use the + and - on the num pad, do do only one use right-alt, or right-ctrl then + or - right alt is the right engine, right ctrl is the left engine
@8:55 it says we're pointed at a heading of about 245*, however, the indicator looks more like 345*, which you did say correctly later in the map view. in case anyone is looking at the compass and getting confused by that. @12:16 he says 245* again.... -_-
We all make mistakes! Thanks for catching that and pointing it out. :)
thanks for making this series it has been really helpful w the frogfoot, without your help I may not have got into DCS
This is very helpful, especially since I just started it helped me a lot!

While this is very authentic and seems realistic it would be very helpful to hear English over the radio. I appreciate that the text in the upper left corner is in English but for training it would be nice to hear English.
Any recommendation on which one is easier to learn? DCS or BMS?
Hi Rob, I'm new to simflight and I'm going to buy DCS A-10 (now I'm playing with DCSW Su25T with keyboard only, but It's impossible!). Can you please suggest a good and cheap joystick for DCS? and which's yours? Thx in adv.
just downloaded dcs world so helpful thanksmate
is this a mission? how did you start in the hangar ?
Maybe i missed it but what do I press to move the throttle up?
what map or gamemode you use? In training I can't do anything.
Hi Robert, can I ask you what rudder pedals do you use/recommend?
I currently have the Thrustmaster hotas and I am ready to start with you super Su25T tutorials.
When you have a chance. Thanks in advance. Lelo
I'm using the MFG Crosswind pedals but they were expensive. You can always take a look at a cheaper set (which I recommend especially if you're not used to using rudder pedals because they do take a little getting used to). I've had the Saitek (now Logitech) G Pro Flight pedals and they're decent, but I've also heard good things about the CH Pro Pedals. Good luck!
Thanks Robert, as always responding so fast and with good criteria.
I will narrow my decision between the CH Pro and the Thrustmaster TFRP pedals. Great help!
Again, thanks!
Hallo!!! How did you get your cockpit without the glare reflections? I can’t see through mine. Just getting into DCS and struggling to see we acquiring a target
This was posted 8 years ago and before they updated the Su25T model or the game engine to support things like glass reflections. :-)
Not sure you'll be able to get around that now :(
This stuff is so hard to memorise i find my self having to rewatch vids i just wanna be able to do this flawlessly
Thanks man, I didn't know how to arm the plane :))
You're welcome!
Great Video! Which Airport did you use? And how did you do the setup? How did you get that Cold and Dark position?
SORRRY!!! Just found out, you have a "Prologue"!
IDK if i could control the plane using the keyboard tho on air. I can fly the plane from the runway but it will roll and dive immediately and i can't control it. Maybe i missed something from the tutorial.
How do you raise the throttle?
Hi, Could you tell how to change the language on the hud & also audio from Russion to English for the SU25T . I can't seem to find anything in the controls to change this. Thanks in advance
I'll be recording and editing the next tutorial as soon as a hot fix comes out for the recently released 1.2.5 patch. The patch broke a few things with the game engine and I don't want to film the next installment until these issues have been addressed.
Hopefully, if the hot fix is released tomorrow as planned, I'll have Part 2 of this tutorial up by Friday. It discusses takeoff procedure and some basic navigation.
You can turn on the ground using the rudder left / rudder right controls as explained in the video. By default the keys are Z and X. To turn in the air, you move your joystick left or right until the aircraft rolls to the left or right, and you pull back slightly to maintain a neutral climb rate.
Watch Parts 2 and 3 of this tutorial series for more information on turning an airplane. You could also read the manual for the Su-25T (it is included with DCS World).
