This video is how to play DCS World with a gamepad. 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!
