Okay so i recently got my head tracking software and, I really wan’t to loose myself into this simulator. However I’m completely fragged as to everything i’ve seen the ramp start tutorial. I know how to ramp start use my mfd (a bit), but i’m stuck at everything else There are so many numbers and variables in this game it’s scary. I feel like i’ll never be able to grasp it. I’ve seen some Tuts online but, i feel like they don’t go into much detail? (maybe i’m impatient, but i’d like some help maybe referrals? to the best and most in depth tuts or guide? Thanks.

Have you tried the training guide and training missions? Begun to review the -1 and -34 manuals?
All in the DOCS folder from the install.

Its a study sim for a reason. There is a lot to grasp, and you cant do it all at once. Like the elephant, the best way to eat BMS is one bite at a time.

The learning curve is steep at first but as said it’s a sim so it’s to be expected .
But once you are past the first steep bit you’ll be fine. Though you won’t ever stop learning. 1100 hours in and I’m still learning stuff.
As bluewolf mentioned there are training manuals in yours bms docs folder with missions pre made for you. These will get you flying. Setting up bms can be real tricky sometimes so I’d recommend heading over to falcon online and see if someone there is willing to help you out on their teamspeak server.
On the online Tuts you can learn from them but keep in mind that they are wrong. Either in what they teach or what is shown. Bms is evolving all the time so tutorials made for older versions can’t always help you because they do not match with what it is now.
Take it one step at a time. Learn to fly first. Learn the instruments. Then move on to the weapons and combat systems.
And do not be discouraged once you believe you’ve got it and then you fly multiplayer and you find out that you really don’t know anything. Multiplayer adds a whole new dimension to the sim

If I may offer clarification, Agave_Blue mentioned the training manuals (Thanks!) in the install folder.
One step at a time is definitely the way to go. Learn to fly, learn energy and handling, aerobatics. Learn instruments. Learn BFM, guns and heaters. Learn ACM. Learn AWIs and MRMs. Then start work on the air to ground and take it from the top.

For the RAF Fast Jet, the training course goes something like 24 weeks of basic, followed by Elementary Flight training which is further 26 or so weeks.
Then you move on to fast jet for 21 months. So about 3 years in total. And in RL you get washed out all the time unless you can cut it. I remember watching a programme about one guy who had the right stuff and made it to fast-jet training at valley where you learn to kill things. He could not get the air-to-air geometry in his head straight, and hence was washed out at the end of the Fast Jet training and ended up flying transports…
Falcon (IMHO) is the most realistic Sim out there, so to think that you can get in and fly it without practice and study is unrealistic… But that is why love it. I could not become fast-jet as I have hayfever (whether I would have made it through is another matter), however it gives me the closes approximation without killing myself and having the bad parts of the job thrown in.
I spend probably about about 50:50 between studying and flying. Always reading, always watching. However when I got Falcon 4 in 1998 I did just climb in and blast through the skies and still enjoyed it. Just don’t expect to win all the time like some arcade game.
Fly, read, fly, practice, train, read, fly, then read some more…
