DCS A-10C- Trust in your wingman

[@PhlyDaily]

Aww man! Do you play with viewers at all!?

[@Vork29]

Hey old phly

[@clickboomgaming5712]

back in the day phly xD

[@ArkanOthman]

Wowwww this is legendary...

[@elephantofstrawberry]

Woah.

[@419chris419]

Hearing you two communicate so well is just so rare in gaming these days. Great coordination I wish my friends were like that.

[@ralfidude]

train them. We do it because it makes sense, not because it sounds cool. Especially in dogfighting, you can see that better in my Chariots Of Death video.

[@419chris419]

ralfidude I know you don't do it because it sounds "cool" to be honest most of what you say wouldn't be considered "cool" but rather professional and crystal clear. You make it sound like you actually are a pilot. Hell I bet you could be one if someone gave you the opportunity.

[@419chris419]

***** Then again scratch that, seems like you actually pilot aircrafts

[@419chris419]

***** Um. Yes it is? Simulators or not you can enjoy yourself virtually. Just because it's not flashy call of duty doesn't place this under another category.

[@SnaxDesAvions]

***** That's why he "quoted" it. To means the fact it's not the same "gaming" as we have in games such as Battlefield or Call of Duty where I saw it's better to be cool than effective ^^

[@Djof]

I just dug this link out of a 2012 email from my friend. He was saying we need to start playing DCS... It's been about 7 years we've been flying I guess. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@ShintaroNikki]

crazy to think i was 10 when i first found your channel and now i’m a full on adult. you made me love dcs world! first hotas came in today!

[@csf3lihao]

this makes jet fights in BF3 so stupid

[@sSouls]

can't be compared a simulative game like this with battlefield more arcade and fast in terms of gameplay ( " jump on and go " )

[@synapse131]

BF3 is a joke for the flight simulation.

[@Hachiae]

Elites Engineering who said im not calm? all i am saying is you are cancer, there is the proof.

[@ElitesEngineering]

Hachi Roku You are mad if something like this makes you say that.

[@Hachiae]

Elites Engineering so pointing out an observation is getting mad now? logic...

[@cqbhoun]

Pro chatter.

[@whiplashw3948]

I've seen a lot of DCS videos. This one is REAL. Good job guys. Well done, sir.

[@OkenWS]

I love the professionalism and radio procedures used. Something you don't get very often, even in a very serious game/sim like this.

[@ralfidude]

Sometimes, random people show up and we just go up and have fun. Nothing specific at all really.

[@TheWatson83]

I'm about 6 years too late finding this channel.. just got into DCS and looking for vids stumbled across you guys, PRO SHIT! love it..

[@ralfidude]

@GoWithTh3Flo CBU 97 or 105s are the ones with skeets. The 87s are just regular clusters if i remember correctly so they are best used against infantry and light armored vehicles. Skeets will actually actively seek out armor and destroy them with one hit.

[@ralfidude]

@DornDaniel Sadly no, we were both deploying a GBU at the same exact time and making sure we were on different laze codes so they would not interfere with each other. Only time a buddy lase is required is if a AFAC is present and lasing targets. It is not exactly practical, as a SPI must be set by the plane dropping the bomb, so it's just easier for the plane to drop it himself. Only time it becomes viable is when there is a high threat and he needs to bug out after dropping.

[@ralfidude]

@FHDanielNL This simulator is based off of DTS which was first developed to train their A10 pilots. They demilitarized it and made it into DCS sim. All AA missiles have a vapor trail while the motor is burning. This is especially true for all the older type missiles and long range missiles. New AA weapons are being produced to minimize the vapor trail but they are still visible if you know where to look.

[@ericcabral5745]

I don’t play dcs but these kind of videos are a blast to watch

[@julianviefers6703]

same i cant play dcs sadly

[@ralfidude]

That my friend is your PAC. I went for the first target, PAC on and you see it stays put and fire, let go of both stage triggers, let the nose naturally go up by itself and then PAC on and trigger, and repeat for all targets. So manual labor, but when you get it, its awesome!

[@Granatensammler]

I only thrust in my wingman! :D

[@r4id1337]

THe Gunrun at 5:37 is really nice, gj !

[@jowenjv4463]

Your videos on DCS are awesome. Good continuations from France

[@Itachi21x]

This is how its done Not like that stupid shit in BF3/4

[@DarkysLPs]

Gute Arbeit!

[@mirtaet123]

Bloody awesome cut and all editing work! Very talented! You know, Chiz posted this video on russian part of the ED Forum as an example of good teamwork. ))

[@TheDiego1255]

I know ralfi, I've been flying sims for 3 years. I just started learning DCS A10 and I'm having a blast. Your videos are awesome and your 'idiot guides' help as well. I am trying to point out that people speak before they think.

[@keithmcfaul9204]

You guys are so fucking good. You both sound like professional fighter pilots with your communications and flying skills. The BEST sims I've seen yet.

[@CyphrSonic]

It's fairly cool it really makes large flights (6-10 people) much better, because you can just break people into different radio channels by where they are operating.

[@Tiltrotor86]

I plan Lock On since 2003 and DCS ( all modules as they're released ) since Black Shark, and I only found the courage to learn the Hog this week ! after 5 days of intense training missions and 671 page manual reading, I can be autonomous and hit what I want with it... it's a huge satisfaction, the sacrifice worth it, for sure

[@northviking76]

Its an awesome fearsome and leathel plane for its use as well so.. So thats good, that the guys running the DSC game company dont nerf or mess with preformance, weapons. And damage models.. I am still just on the read fase on this one.. Man its much to pay attention with... My first was Black Shark, only the first one, not the upgrade.. And i have a feeling the Black Shark isnt an easy attack helicopter sim. Damn Awesome thought.. I love the P51, most say that. Even though my love lays with the Attack - Interception fighters. With favorites as f-15 eagel, F-16 Falcon. And of course my personal favoritt from modern era fighters. The now retierd, but awesome, sexy Grumann F-14 Tomcat.. Sweet plane.. NO, not from top gun. Saw it much on CNN in the first Iraq war, as the Tomcats was filmed flying fast `n low so the sand was as a fan behind it.. The big heavy macin, that manouvreble. Raw, sexy and damn awesome machine, that was extremly deadly both on short and long range. And a ACE on long range with the AIM-54 Phoenix long-ranged missiles. Fire and forget, if i am not mistaking.. Range: 185 Km++ Speed around Mach 5 WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE F-14 Tomacat in DSC World ;) Thats for sure..

[@lvl89wrlk21]

hans ove heggen I know this comment is a year old and you probably know already. But Leatherneck Simulation have just confirmed they're making a dcs level high fidelity f14 A + B tomcat.

[@northviking76]

No, i didnt know. But now i know, and u made me damn happy.. Iam gonna check out their pages.. Thx so much for that information. Thumbs up for you mate..

[@lvl89wrlk21]

hans ove heggen No worries mate, everyone aboard the hype train. :D

[@jezza6801]

@@northviking76 And here it is

[@Davidishka]

Holy shit this is epic, are you guy's real A-10C pilots? It seems like it.

[@hal58th]

They are not real A-10C pilots. Just fans of flight simulators.

[@bogattack]

This has to be the best A10C video I've ever seen. Very impressive guys !

[@eman737]

This video made me buy this game and my trackir, also saving up for the Hotas Warthog joystick. I showed this video to my friends and they to have a copy of the game now. A bit of a learning curve but man its so worth it. Love this game, Thanks for posting such a great video. can't wait to get my Hotas Warthog Joystick!

[@ralfidude]

we had 2 aim 9s each, standard for warthogs, full gun ammo, standard for warthogs, and then 6 mavericks (not standard for warthogs as 4 is usually the maximum due to reasons i wont get into). Then 2 CBUs and call it a day. A bit of a heavy payload admittedly for a HOG but it is capable of doing that if it had to. In this mission it would. We went back to rearm a bunch of times since we didnt die. There are other missions where use more realistic loadouts too, it depends...

[@MrTroopersam]

Great example of masterful teamwork. One of these days I'm going to have to get a system that can run this well...and then, I can only hope I can eventually find a wingman even near your caliber.

[@ralfidude]

@lighthaze No customprofile, I only use precision on and thats it. Everything else is runninf off of default.

[@ScorpyX]

Lets EPIC begin pilot you get a "Distinguished Service Medal" for heroism and outstanding service in Cinematography

[@boostfreak777]

Wow! If I didn't know better by the name and some of the graphics, I would think I was watching REAL video! Great work!

[@animatek6171]

hoy cumple 10 años este video. felicidades

[@ralfidude]

I should have been shut down there, but I pulled my throttle to idle. Though I'm not sure if that's the right thing to do.

[@ArsStarhawk]

The game is DCS A-10C Warthog. It can be found on steam and is on sale for $14.50 USD until 13:00 EST, May 3, 2012.

[@ralfidude]

You learn something new every day.

[@Very_Elegant]

Damn and I thought flying in ArmA 2/ArmA 3 was hardest thing ever, this is epic!

[@tkmaida]

Well, you have a fair argument, half the pilots In "Invade & Annex" don't know what they are doing. XD.

[@MarvinBoydCo]

is their a soundpack for TS you can download for these types of com sounds? Also how long did it take you memorize the combinations to implement your weapons? ive been playing for a month still having trouble and i cant get the camera to slave with the mouse which is super frustrating

[@ralfidude]

@kreisch1 Nope, not modded. Depends what missile is fired at you and if the rocket motor is burning. Once the rocket motor is done burning, you will not see the vapor trail, the only other way to see it at that point is to make a hard turn and you can see a trail behind the missile as its banking hard to turn into you.

[@frags8086]

Rafi do you use Track IR it looks like you do but I have a dilemma. I can never seem to get the setup configured correctly for DCS is there any way you would consider exporting and posting your TIR profile somewhere? Also you obviously play a ton of DCS but how much of your control scheme are custom controls? If you have already done a video on this a link would be wonderful, thanks in advance!

[@Rasmorak]

As far as Track IR is concerned, you'll just have to set it up yourself. Everyone is different when it comes to track ir. You're at a different height, you sit a different distance from your computer, your monitor may be bigger or smaller etc. I thing I'm going to put together a video detailing how to set up your trackir for yourself and what the different settings mean. I've been seeing this question a lot lately.

[@frags8086]

I have tried to tweak it but it just seems to snap around to much for me at times. Arma 3 I have no problems at all but in DCS when I want to view my weapons systems up close it glitches around quite a bit :/ A proper updated setup video would probably be good not only for me but many others like me who understand the basics but not the more complex setups for games like DCS. I'd watch that!

[@ralfidude]

I made a video on that already.

[@shydncrumph8119]

still one of th best a10c/dcs movies! nice :-)

[@sandynathan]

3:50...lucky dude...loved watching the video...great comms between you

[@Keego0201]

The learning curve here is massive, and without the hardware it's almost impossible to play. But it's still a great simulation.

[@jdarksword]

I've been playing with my friend and he flys keyboard and mouse. And can do it pretty well.

[@neohelios77]

Great vid, thanks! FOFL Jesus IV... Two questions if you don't mind: 1) what are your PC specs? 2) I'm finishing up the tutorials and (actually) reading the manual, but coming up a little short in the 'practical' application of the many features of this aircraft & its avionics; any online groups who are newbie-friendly for multiplayer games? TIA

[@Cplblue]

Video gives me goosebumps :D With the sounds, music, and communication. So sick.

[@TheRealOriginalDiegoM]

Good comm. between you guys. One thing to note, when you want to confirm the RWR is clear, say 'RAW Scope Clear'

[@AvengerBB1]

It also depends on how the mission maker sets the loadout. The number of chaff and flares can be modified in he loadout screen in the mission editor.

[@basstardsound]

Hi, I wanted to ask you, for practice with the jets, the Flight Simulator 2004 is a good starting point? Thank you and congratulations for the video! It 's wonderful!

[@UMSLdragon]

I love your guy's chatter. I hope that I get that good at this sim

[@nume1981]

This is just great! Its so immersive, almost like a Ridley / Tony Scott movie!!! Keep up the good work!

[@BattleGoers]

Ralfi. You guys sound really cool here. And proffesional. ps splash is an air to air kill. I would love to hear something like "Positive effect on target"

[@ralfidude]

He is a green beret, not air force. My picture link above proved you wrong already. Moody air base is using DTS right now to train their pilots, with the full cockpit installed.

[@TheDiego1255]

Love those 97s and the over screen video effect. Great job ralfi

[@TheLEGENDARYGamer56]

when you clicked on this video, how could you not see that it says DCS A-10C and in the description it says it.

[@stevebarnes8317]

That Brrrrrrrt run at 5:35 is so beautiful... XD

[@thief9001]

This is incredible, you're both very skilled, and made a very nice video.

[@hobbis75]

Love Your teamwork, and now I just need to config my A10 as well in my home cockpit :-)

[@ralfidude]

Actually, this simulator is in use to train real A-10C pilots, this company was first and formost called DTS, and they create these simultors for the airforce, then they de-classify it and spice it up a bit, then sell it for the public as DCS. DTS is currently making one for the F-18 carrier ops, and F-16 to train their air national guard, we expect to see these two planes in DCS sometime soon, however nothing is confirmed just yet.

[@Dr_Alan_Grant]

7 years to make the F16, impressive.

[@ralfidude]

Sony vegas editing. I cant even begin to explain where to place the bars and which sound effect for audio to use.

[@Zatracenec]

You have the best DCS:A-10 videos, buddy. Lovely gun run at 5:34.

[@Mikkhailov]

It's the same as in the game, you program the parameters of the release in the computer, which in turn will fire automatically, for example, you can program X amount of Chaff or X amount of Flares to be fire in a salvo and the timing between each salvo which in turn can be set to being fired on command or when targeted.

[@SatyrEmpire]

"Safety it's on... " ... Thank you!

[@Mikkhailov]

Both, you can set it to automatic which fires slowly as soon as you are "painted" or manual which you can fire at any rate.

[@GuyverGamingTV]

great video, just go this the other day and looking forward to learning all the systems. been many years since i played a flight sim this complex. cant wait to get time off work and get stuck in :)

[@ralfidude]

I suggest you do the CMS (Counter measure system) training, probably from youtube by gary aboot or something like that.

[@20spurSAT]

Job interview this monday . You fine pilots are welcome to join DAAFAR.

[@varphotography]

Holy shit! That run in on the planes in the parking was wicked. damn!!!

[@ralfidude]

It's by no means easy, and it has the SA-10 sites in place, which is the S-300 system with fairly similar and equal specs to that one. A-10s are not to go up against those threats, that's the job for SEAD. Only time its allowed is if there is terrain cover where we can do a mark point pop up maverick attack with an AGM-65K shot. Still risky as hell though...

[@damo4576]

Great video man, I was thinking 'This dude got skills' then you started attack runs in close formation and I was like 'That's just showing off now'. I wanted to close my browser so I could go and sulk but instead I subscribed. What have I done......? I mean I'm not bad at A-10C, I'm 'competent', but that still means that I catch the bus back to the airfield on more occasions than I'd like.

[@Wolfkin18]

You gentlemen are EXTREMELY good. I feel humbled.

[@metalgearbas4]

May i ask what gear you use? what flightstick and any extra switch boxes etc? 'cause i'm having issues memorizing all the keyboard controlls, not all the controls fit on the flightstick.

[@northviking76]

Have to ask if its okey.. Are you two guys Real Life pilotes on A-10 worthogs or any other Fighter jets.??? Anyway totaly awesome job both you guys. Excelent flyin.. Keep up the great work guys. And allways stay on the edge guys. ~Fly hard - Fly in style~

[@jdarksword]

No, but ralfi is trying to get into the Air Force.

[@CombatMedicTM]

Watching you guys fly is a pleasure, really!

[@FishkusCZ]

[@manofthehour91]

Could you please share how you managed to change your microphone filtering? I know about TARS for the background but I mostly want to change my mic

[@christianerminy]

Wow, you guys take this game to a new level. I play it quite a bit but I've rarely had the opportunity to do multiplayer like you guy did. is there a way I could play with you guys?

[@ParisianZee]

Amazing how well you work with that wingman. Very impressive.

[@wampawampa]

one questions for you guys: how do you detect IR missiles? I thought those are passive seekers, you won't know they're tracking you until they hit you? So how does A-10 detect strelas, which I assume are heat seekers.

[@GameResearchFacility]

One Question Ralfi, how do you get those Wing Vortices ? (0:55) Is it a Option or even a Graphic mod ? thank you in advance!

[@KingCrumbdenfroft]

Amazing video--from the editing to the flying. Hats off!

[@M_C_696]

Bought DCS A10 after watching this video. Keep them coming.

[@GoWithTh3Flo]

At 8:00 what CBU was that? When ever I drop the 80 or 90 series I never get anyhits, prolly cuz I suck at CCIP attacks with bombs

[@synapse131]

Wow! This looks as deep simulation-wise as Falcon 4.0. I just wish my computer had the video processing capability to fly. Damn! You guy ever try to FAC operations with nine-lines?

[@ralfidude]

AI does that for us.

[@lighthaze]

Amazing Video. Your TrackIR seems to spot on. Would you mind sharing that profile?

[@mcz1945]

these videos are BEASTLY, your acting is superb :)

[@DardoUltimate]

Man, you guys are awesome =3 I'd love to be in such an immersive game like this one

[@BenEekels]

Could you tell me what joystick you use? My Logitech Extreme 3D pro is OK in FSX, but in A10c it's louzy.. I just started with A10... but this doesn't work

[@ralfidude]

description?

[@aescobar32]

amazing gameplay! wish i learned how to fly the hogs... these kind of sims take so much of a learning curve to really enjoy

[@ralfidude]

Ground Crew, engineer or pilot?

[@jejoisland9182]

btw do you play this with mouse and keyboard the best or do you in cooperate a joystick? sorry if the question is dumb :P

[@GoWithTh3Flo]

@ralfidude so can use the 97s with the TGP? I seem to always have 97s just never 105s

[@neohelios77]

Are y'all finding targets visually / with RWR / using JTAC / remember approximate positions from mission editor?

[@tweetdezweet]

excellent vid, what system are you guys using, graphics card processor, ram, etc

[@jayran86]

New pc arrives in a week. This will be my first purchase and I can't wait.

[@YoAyDri11]

what kind of joystick do you have? i need a suggestion. I have this game but havent bought a stck yet to play it. Want something pretty good.
