community-a4e-c VS uh-60l

If you truly want to understand the basis of which FM's in DCS is modeled then I suggest starting by getting to grips with EFM examples such as the A-4E https://github.com/heclak/community-a4e-c/tree/master/A-4E-C

That said, you could get going for zero dollars. Use your existing cheap joystick and pick up the awesome, free A-4E-C mod, which is an excellent Cold War jet. It'll be a lot more fun with all the expensive stuff I just mentioned, but you could begin tonight, for free, with a bit of downloading.

- Download [the latest official A-4E-C release package](https://github.com/heclak/community-a4e-c/releases/). Do not download directly from the Github repository.

Make a Github account and release there like the DCS A-4E team and many others does.

Probably because it is free community-made module. And fun.

Here's the main GitHub releases page, current version is 2.1.0.

IMO, the A-4E is by far the best and significantly overshadows all other mods. It is really excellent, and feels very complete. That said, I've had some fun with the Anubis C-130J Hercules mod on the Grayflag server, and I believe the UH-60L mod is probably the best helicopter mod currently available, although I have to admit not being very impressed by it compared to the full-fidelity helicopters in the game like the Mi-8 and UH-1.

For Helicopters there's the UH-60L as well: https://github.com/Kinkkujuustovoileipa/uh-60l

UH-60 Blackhawk

The only other thing I'd add: If you haven't already, check out the free UH-60L module (https://github.com/Kinkkujuustovoileipa/uh-60l). It doesn't have all of the capabilities of the Huey, most notably it has no weapons, but it is still a lot of fun and gives you a lot of the Huey-work with a more modern kit.

Why dont you try the free UH-60L Mod is a great mod for beginners, only drawback would be no weapons of course but great for starting flying helos.

no a mod here is the link https://github.com/Kinkkujuustovoileipa/uh-60l/releases/tag/1.3

Start with the free UH-60L mod and go from there.

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned the free UH-60L Blackhawk mod, which I'm a fan of. It does have a few more advanced features (and less thorough documentation) which can make it more difficult for new helo pilots to fly, but its worth playing around with before buying the Huey (which is a very good module).

If you're into helicopters, there's the UH-60. Here's the front page for the project: https://github.com/Kinkkujuustovoileipa/uh-60l and here's the page for the latest release download: https://github.com/Kinkkujuustovoileipa/uh-60l/releases/tag/1.3
