Hi and welcome extruder,
Yes, youtube training videos are very helpful. Also you can download the A-10c manual free which is a good reference. Don't be
intimidated by its 600 or so pages. You dont have to know the whole manual to have fun. And of course the in game training missions. People here are friendly and helpful and will answer any specific questions you have. If and when you play mutiplayer,I would recommend Team Speak as well which is also free to download.

merry christmas

hey extruder. You better leave the old supersonic thinking you had with the viper/falcon, and start by learning the manual. Give it the time and always practice at least once a week, even on trivial things like startup. You'll never forget anything and it will become second nature. Youtube is nice, but reading the manual is the origin of youtube vids.

thanks for the replies guys, and yes i plan on playing offline before I attempt multiplayer. i'm sure I will do well with the game as I did with f4, we used to call start up ramp start, which was new to us veterans as when the game 1st came out it was very basic.i logged at least 2000 hrs in the f4 cockpit so i don't think dedication will be a problem, also got lucky and bought a Saitek x-45. my old days of flying i thought i was hip with my Logitech wingman interceptor!!! oooh ahh I know!But seriously the last few years i've been playing ps3 games like mw3, bf3, and most recently black ops 2 but deep down i miss the realism of flight sims so i did some researching and this seems to be the game of the times so i ordered it from amazon and it should be here in a few days, like i mentioned earlier i'm ready wih a HOTAS!

The built in training tracks with highlighted cockpit switches and the voiceover from the AllState guy are well worth doing.
