Can I Beat a Real Fighter Pilot in DCS? | F-16 Vs MiG-29 | Force Feedback Stick

[@CommandT]

For those criticising the real fighter pilot: Firstly, he is not an F-16 pilot, secondly I think A LOT of people have a vast misunderstanding of DCS Vs Reality for a real fighter pilot. It's a game - good DCS BFM players will often (if not always) beat real fighter pilots in DCS on a computer. If you were to put the same two people into real jets the outcome would be reversed for many reasons - different visual cues, G forces, spacial orientation ect. Then there's obviously the fact that when you fly a completely different aircraft at work and in DCS you simply can't be proficient at it! You will make mistakes like anybody else, real fighter pilot or not. In real life you don't go from an Su-27 into a Typhoon and start to dominate like you did in your "own" jet. These DCS fights are a bit of fun for both of us and to try different things so to start judging someone's real life fighter pilot abilities based off a fun dogfight in DCS is beyond ridiculous. Just a side-note: a couple of years ago DARPA developed the best dogfighter AI they could think of and put it up against a real fighter pilot and a DCS player that won some online dofighting competitions. The real fighter pilot lost against the AI, the DCS player won. Just food for thought.

[@KevinS47]

Thanks for the insights, especially interesting that last bit with the DARPA AI! Also, despite being a pilot with no-name, he can't just show real BFM tactics in any way here, I'm sure he'd get in trouble no matter what.. so I am curious how that works for him, if he's sort of thinking actively about what not to do/show during the dogfight here, or if he's just winging it, if that makes sense. Cheers!

[@CommandT]

@@KevinS47 I don't think there's anything classified in BFM generally. It's all open source and the same books used by the military to teach BFM are available to the general public. At least in terms of pure kinematics. With regards to ACM and BVR of course it gets more classified. But 1v1 BFM is not secret, just some simple physics. But of course all jets have strengths and weaknesses so you can't employ the same tactics in an F-16 as you can in a Mirage 2000 obviously, as an example, especially depending on which jet you are fighting. So you can't judge on how good say a real Mirage 2000 pilot is when you put him in an F-15 for the first time. I think this is a simple concept so many in the comments just don't seem to grasp.

[@michelestefanini5466]

yeah I think mostly because of the fact that DCS players pull constantly 9gs like it's nothing

[@KevinS47]

@@CommandT I actually did not know that! I would have thought BFM would also be classified stuff (though not as much as BVR of course). And I do get what you are saying, at the end this stuff isn't all that complicated, so people can figure this out pretty much on their own if they put the time and effort to try and understand these things; however, it just feels different if a real fighter pilot shows you these tactics and dogfight styles (based off of real life), especially since what you learn and perfect in a sim isn't exactly translatable to real life if you get what I mean. And also, yeah, he isn't an F16C pilot, so it probably wouldn't matter either way in this video.

[@FEAR_Actual]

Honestly the scariest, and ergo most fun fights to watch are those where the real fighter pilot takes a round or two to figure things out, then just goes balls to the wall all out and absolutely stomps the shit out of the opposition. It's wild to see them adjust SO quickly and efficiently despite never flying the platforms in game, or just never flying DCS in general.

[@anul6801]

The Academy picks the pilots.

[@FEAR_Actual]

@@anul6801 .....What does that even mean?

[@anul6801]

@@FEAR_Actual People who become pilots are hand picked for their hardware. Reaction time, multi tasking abilities etc. Thats why a pilot can learn and dominate in a game. It requires the same kind of attributes after all. In sports they call it "Sports IQ" etc. Pilots have very high sports iq to begin with. Hockey IQ and pilot IQ are very similar for example. in highly recommend you to look into the US intelligym program which has fightr pilot roots for their younghockey players. Have a nice day!

[@CrispyChristieMAC]

@@FEAR_Actual It means to be a fighter pilot you have to have a rough IQ of ~120 or higher, exceptional eye sight, incredibly reflexes and an overall general ability to process new information at incredibly fast speeds. The academy picks the pilot, meaning pilots are only ever selected if they're so far above average as to be worth placing them in a jet that costs as much as Tom Cruise's mansion.

[@dat2807]

4:18 Classic "target fixation" made you overshoot there. Viper roll rate helped him, but still that was a classic "target fixation" from your side. What you should've done there is: Manage closure rate, preserve the range, stay in CZ and ONLY then think with your gun. Same example in 6:10. You want to kill him fast - but you ended up overshooting in close, instead - look for LAG circle entry and dominate position first - the end result would be multiple firing solutions instead of just 1 snap shot. Fight for position first as it will benefits you in a long run

Great video! I enjoyed watching both of you play and have fun with it. What you said is true. It's similar to what F1 driver Max Verstappen mentioned about playing F1 simulators with sim players. He said he learns a lot from sim players who can push the limits without any risk since they can respawn anytime. However, he also noted that while there's a lot to learn from sim players, real pilots and F1 drivers have a more realistic perspective that sim players lack.

You know that a real fighter pilot lost against the best DARPA AI in a dogfight whilst a DCS player won? Real life is different. Guys who practice BFM in DCS all day will most likely win against seasoned fighter pilots in the simulator. Real life is a different story. Not to mention that real fighter pilots need to do a lot more than just be good at BFM. All I’m saying is there will be nothing surprising in a DCS player beating a real fighter pilot on a computer.

4:10 That was just beautiful from the F-16.

[@lijinyan]

You missed your best opportunity at 4:07. The F-16 was almost inside your crosshair, but afterward you failed to manage your closure rate, and let the F-16 started to turn the table to force you into a rolling scissor. At 6:07, which was you second best opportunity. At this situation, you had plenty of time and could have used the vertical scan to lock to target for a better aim, and you also failed to manage your closure rate again and were forced into a rolling sissor. I think in the second situation, you could have used lag pursuit to stay behind the F-16 for a more stable aim instead of going for a high line-of-sight rate shot

Yeah I agree about the 6:07, partly disagree about the 4:07 :)

That was a really great fight. I will say tho you're not dependent on the HMD in the Viper in this game as implied in the video.

[@Danspy501st]

I was thinking. With the FF stick, are you able to feel if the plane is about to go into a stall? I arent talking about if the jets have anti stall installed, but more like if you fly like the Spitfire in DCS (Not sure if it is out on it) can you feel that in the stick when the Spitfire is about to enter a stall? I remember I watched a video about one flying a small prop plane for the first time, or a trainer Spitfire, and the trainer did explain and showed the person how it feels in the stick when it is about to enter stall

Фишка в таких дуэлях в том,что бы быть на шаг впереди противника,и стараться делать зеркально как и он.

[@mikeck4609]

Nicely done. Seems to be the case that with high off-boresite missles and Helmet cuing, rate fighting and energy management maneuvers like hi yo-yos, wing overs, etc, are made moot b/c you don’t need to get behind the enemy to be in a firing position. Instead, firing position is the enemy anywhere in front of your 3-9 wing line. So basically, both pilots are just trying to pull their noses around enough to get the other guy in front of the wingline before the other guy ending up too close to get a shot off. BUT…I was surprised to see a true BFM (guns only) end up the same way; especially with the viper being such a good rate fighter. I wonder with modern flight control systems and insanely powerful engines if rating around a circle and “energy management” are kind of a thing of the past? Only asking b/c this guy is a Viper pilot and he didn’t seem to want to force you into a rate fight. It’s guns only so extending isn’t an issue. Dunno. I’ve been a cop and lawyer for 24 years so my fighter pilot experience is “limited”. Lol

Not possible on snap shots - not enough time! As you can see I do use it when the bandit is within the HUD for any length of time where it’s possible to lock him again

@@CommandT I would like to see you fly a flanker to dogfight a F-16 next time. With below 50% fuel, the flanker absolutly outperforms the F-16 in the horizontal in DCS.

Managing the aircraft's "energy" , trimming , using speed brakes , flaps , rudders , is a beautiful art. From conversations , I know that in REAL LIFE things are brutally intense , exhausting , stressful both mentally and physically. In this situation , a Real Life Pilot , might have a huge disadvantage in the beginning because they are used to feel the aircraft and the consequences of their inputs in real time . They do miss that in their first simulation flights. But as soon as they get the hang of it , our advantages as people who LOVE to fly simulators , start to evaporate real fast.

Even when the MiG-29 was relatively new they used to time the F-16 and MiG-29 in a max rate turn at airshows to see who would beat who (in Farnborough, Paris Airshow ect in the late 80s/ 90s) and it was always very close. Yes the MiG-29 is extremely capable and I think purely for a dogfight you would maybe choose that over an F-16 overall but the F-16 has advantages too. It really is a lot to do with the pilot and who will exploit the strengths and weaknesses more than which plane is vastly superior. Not to mention that no Russian pilots even fly the MiG-29 now. Except Strizhi the aerobatic display team.

I can beat you with F16 partner!

[@CommandT]

I don’t doubt it

[@busardr1452]

He is definitely not a US pilot or an F-16 pilot. So many mistakes made that it is very hard to believe he is a real fighter pilot. I have seen several in DCS and they do not make the same mistakes.

[@joshafc41]

No one said anything about the US and he specifically mentioned he is not an F16 pilot.

[@Tank50us]

@@joshafc41 for all we know, he could be a Hornet pilot. Some NATO allies do fly it

[@CommandT]

@@Tank50us He does not fly the Hornet. It's something different. That's all I will say.

Firstly, he is not an F-16 pilot, secondly I think people like you have a vast misunderstanding of DCS Vs Reality for a real fighter pilot. It's a game - good DCS BFM players will often (if not always) beat real fighter pilots in DCS on a computer. If you were to put the same two people into real jets the outcome would be reversed for many reasons - different visual cues, G forces, spacial orientation ect. Then there's obviously the fact that when you fly a completely different aircraft at work and in DCS you simply can't be proficient at it! You will make mistakes like anybody else, real fighter pilot or not. In real life you don't go from an Su-27 into a Typhoon and start to dominate like you did in your "own" jet. These DCS fights are a bit of fun for both of us and to try different things so to start judging someone's real life fighter pilot abilities based off a fun dogfight in DCS is beyond ridiculous. I've now flown against a number of real world fighter pilots in DCS and have been relatively equal with them overall. I am not silly enough to think that because they can concede to me in DCS they are bad in real life. In real life I would get slaughtered by these guys. That's the reality.

you have an awful trigger discipline :D
