wish we'd have crimea back now, having lived there it would be crazy flying over my house as he did in the video at 16:50

ED should really rework the Caucasus map. They removed the Ukraine East shore and Crimea because 2008 they wanted to extend the map to include Georgia, after the Georgia tried to annex South-Ossettia. So there was good modern NATO vs South-Ossettia/Russia conflict theater. But doing so, they really were back then in that Terrain Engine version pushing hard for the count numbers for objects and terrain mesh resolution. Now they could redo it all, including Ukraine, new Russia territories and increase the number of towns, roads and railroads and landmarks. It would be greatest DCS map to exist. And you can bet that people would enjoy to have a proper amount of the Ukraine on right side of the Dnieper river, extend it to 50-100 km and you have everything that any modern NATO fan wants.

This mission is still bugged in 2024 with the same bugs people were reporting 5 or 6 years prior. You love to see it.

this is what they took from us

seriously, i just found this and can't believe it at all.. i'm two years in and SUCK

Thx for videos I watched all 3, I have a question: while my F-15 radar is tracking target to guide semiactive missile, I need to maneuvre to evade enemy missile but I don't wont to lose my lock. How can I know how much antenna inclination is near the limit? For example, on hud of SU-27, ATK symbol blinks.

Wow, this tutorial series for the F-15C is one of the greatest things I have ever watched. Infact it’s so amazing, it makes me almost wanna cry knowing this is the last one. I have severe ADD which makes me struggle to focus while learning, but I never felt like I missed anything for the entire duration of all three videos. Your info is relevant almost 10 years later, your examples are wonderful, the process you give is perfect, you teach info in the most memorable way, and you also teach some very useful info outside the context of the radar that really helps, (while also throwing in some comedy that really brings a good mood). I feel like I was being told this info from someone right in front of me, and even after flying this plane for abt a year, I feel like I have never really taken control until this moment. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and giving people the ability to shape their wings in the F-15C.

How have I never found this video before?! This video is the best video to ever exist for the F-15C in DCS and it’s 9 Years Old!!! Greatest shit ever to exist.

This mission was really helpful learning the nuances of the SU-27s autopilot features which have always been a little tricky for me. I had to cut it in half to get to classes and then edited it to start where I left off for a night flight for night practice.

yup its uninstall time :(

I always end up to the left of the airfield and idk what to do

Now thats weird. At this point im getting much more interested to study aviation. Cus for some reason the f18 has a higher aoa than this

I've seen your tutorials all these past years... and they are beautifully explicative, along with other American teachers. But now I just find tutorials from Grim Reapers ... that are a real nightmares because his diction is awfully uncomprehensive for me. Please do NOT get lost. Keep tutoring us.

Do you still engage in DCS mate!? Love the videos just been helping me get to grips with the 29 and SU27!

lovely tutorial, thanks mate!

WoooHoooooo...!!🥳 Phuq Yeah "That Was Impressive..!!"🏌🏾‍♂ I have got to try this ASAP..!!🦸🏾‍♂ I'm gonna try this with some bomb type on Fulcrum..!! Likely RBK's & KMG Canister Cluster'Phuqz or whatever they are called..!! 🤭Watch again for metrics, but I get the GENERALconcept..!! CCRP 💎 on target from afar and dive to line up reticle, then and lift to release at path marker.! 🏹💨🤞🏾😜

Thanks for this. The MiG 29 is maybe my favorite DCS plane. Are these ACS modes the same for all MiG 29 variants? i.e. A, D, & S?

I don't know if you're still watching this channel but these are still helpful even 8 years later. Thanks from the many people who have launched an AIM OR AMRAAM successfully thanks to you.

6yrs later and still helping DCS noobs

i remember watchin this video!! one of the first videos that I ever saw when I was first learning BVR combat in the f15!

Great vid!

What type of payload you engage?

thats any way to set HSI knobs?

This video is 8 years old, and it's still hands down the most thorough and approachable DCS training out there. Thank you for the preparation and hard work you clearly put into making these tutorials.

Great video. It would be amazeballs if you could do similar for the SU-27

@11:34 as you approach Corner speed(which was deduced to be 520km/s at the instantanous corner speed flyby) speed you need to reduced Gs(G's is the demand i.e upward motion you are demanding and that is supplied by the speed at that time (whihc generates the lift)..you need to holde (i.e fly)the speed at the lower 600kms. and so at that point in time when the speed is just at the corner(You can still pull more G's) i.e demand for tha instant turn to kill.

Very good job man! You make it seem very easy! Very helpful video for me!

For those peeps I recommend u use your HSI for direction and the hud for following the waypoint

How is he reading that his nose was turning at 14 degress per second and so on? I didn't see any sort of indicator.

Finally an explanation for why I am diving so steeply. This is literally flying IFR, right?

man you have NO idea how much you've helped me... i watched this video years ago and your lesson has helped me _countless_ times

When I pass through waypoint 2, my navigation systems automatically direct me to the next waypoint, but the next tutorial message never cycles. I've seen people say that the tutorial gate is actually much smaller than the waypoint, but I just can't seem to hit it, even with autopilot. I'm sure with enough practice I can land on my own, so it's more of an annoyance than anything, but would greatly appreciate any suggestions. Update: it appears the tutorial gate is actually around 1700-1900 meters, instead of the suggested 1920. Once I figured that out I haven't had much trouble hitting it

Thanks Ironhand, Awesome 🤙

Awesome, thanks for sharing, Mr. Ironhand 🤙

Cool, it looks like Overhead and Break or Initial & Pitch in Navy terms🤙

Hey man, have you heard any news about the Mig-29 full fidelity that ED is working on?

That was a direct hit, Awesome 🤙

How is this not more popular

#1 shit tutorial, 2- u talk too much- get to HOW to switch between radars- value our time or we'll refuse time with you....idiot

How do you get into STT mode?

Very stupid as my front lading gear doesn't deploy. Why does this happen?

This is still the single best tutorial

Got any more?

Whats game?

i know its from 2017, BUT in game i lost it at waypoint 2, just went on without text help and land that "grach" on first try.... little bit rough landing, but from full stop to immediatly take off... apprentice luck :D

There is nothing easy about this. This game is fucking hard. I cannot wait to get my HOTAS....
