Last update: 05 July 2022
On this page of the DCS AH-64D Apache simulator guide, we present the default keybinds for various functions in DCS World simulator. We suggest which functions are useful while playing DCS World.
The control settings of DCS World contain hundreds of items. These are mostly for people who build home cockpits with dedicated, physical buttons, just like on a real aircraft. For regular players, flying with a joystick, throttle and keyboard, only some of them are useful. Depending on your preferences and available hardware, you will need to bind these controls manually before flying or learning the chosen aircraft system.
However, there's also a certain amount of default binds that are useful for operating DCS World simulator. These can also be modified to your liking.
