DCS: AJS-37 Startup, Taxi & Take Off

*NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER ON ED E-STORE AND HEATBLUR STORE! www.heatblur.com* -- Coming January 27th, 2017
Enjoy the first in-depth look at the DCS: AJS-37 Viggen! In this video, we'll be performing a simple startup, taxi and take off procedure. Stay tuned for lots more!

[@belgeode]

Leatherneck, this is why I love you guys. I have NO DOUBT that the Tomcat is going to be just as awesome, if not more so! I cannot wait to get my hands on the Viggen first though!!!

[@danielpassmore5026]

BelGeode I would trade all my modules for a fully functional tomcat right now

[@danielpassmore5026]

BelGeode I would trade all my modules for a fully functional tomcat right now

[@arandomflyingpotatosack7734]

BelGeode with the viggen complete that should allow for more resources on the tomcat

[@belgeode]

Sounds logical to me.

[@FirstDagger]

Highway to the FARA zone.

[@AdurianJ]

Take me to the FARA zone i natt !

[@RealismFTW]

Jag känner behovet, behovet av fart!

[@AdurianJ]

Muppetlord Prata med mig Gåsen !

[@MrBoombast64]

It´s not the fart that kills you, it´s the smell! :)

[@Panzerfan93]

The Level of detail is just astonishing, all the little scratches and this red writing tape (i don't know what it's called) PLEASE ED, RELEASE IT THIS YEAR!

[@tgtgtufeutgtgt4777]

Holy fuck, I think we have new standards

[@NeonMako]

Hear that? It's the sound of VEAO shitting themselves!

[@bowser515]

Do we have to continue the VEAO hate? They struggled with their first module, which really is quite decent still and they have been open and honest about it. They have recently announced that they have learned from their mistakes and will be redoing much of the Hawk to raise it to a much higher standard... For free! Like the Hawk or not, bellitling third party devs is not very constructive for the community. This Viggen looks amazing, helping VEAO to do the same to their Hawk by offering constructive feedback rather than sarky comments on unrelated videos would probably be a better use of your time?

[@spitfirefrench]

They are shit tho

[@bowser515]

Do you own the Hawk? It isn't nearly as bad as the pitch fork bearers would have you believe. Could it be better? Yes, as even VEAO have said themselves and are working towards that end. If they disputed complaints and didn't carry on supporting it I'd understand but they are doing the complete opposite, at least give them a chance. I don't like the FW-190 module, doesn't make it a bad product at all. I enjoy the Hawk as is and I look forward to seeing how they improve it, constantly putting them down is not helpful is all....

[@NeonMako]

Yes, I do. Lets not take this somewhere it wasn't intended to detract from the Viggen. It was a light jab a VEAO, nothing more.

[@bowser515]

I'm a little bit in love, looking forward to adding this beauty to the DCS hangar.

[@skywarp2180]

Love that engine sound. So powerful.

[@CertimR]

So... Is it compatible with atari 2600 cartridges?

[@timmy3822]

That cockpit, hnnnng... Leatherneck you guys really know how to spoil the DCS community. I though the Mig-21 cockpit was immense but the details on this one are second to none. Seriously can't wait for this module! To me this is more interesting than the Tomcat, I've always been more of a mud mover.

[@ChrisTian-lf2oh]

Damn, she´s fine! Proud of being Swedish, seeing this in "action". Great video, m8.

[@DreadwingOne]

This looks great! Can't wait for the Tomcat too :)

[@dolsson296]

I saw the viggen and may other swedish aircrafts during Huvudflygdagarna (swedish airdefens days) at Malmen airforcebase in Linköping last summer and i cant waint to fly this in DCS. the interior has a realy high level of detail as any other DSC aircraft. it looks just like the realy thing inside.

[@dogone7262]

I work at the Swedish Defense Material administration and used to be Chief Systems engineer for the Viggen. Do you have an e-mail where I can contact you for - if you want - some technical assistance? I love your work and would be happy to help you reduce the guessing on a few points. :-)

[@nicholasdackard4364]

Hi Erik! Would love to hear from you. My e-mail is [e-mail] :) Kind Regards, Nick / LS

[@sirsmeghead]

Erik Engelbert: Awesome that you'll want to assist them ^^ Love this plane, the sound it makes during takeoff using full afterburners sent shivers down my spine (last heard that IRL during a "Flygets Dag" (Day of Aviation) at F21 Luleå Airforce Base many years ago (probably 25-30 years ago now). If I had the patience and time (and money for some proper controllers for flight simulators) I'd definitely get this, but that's unfortunately not on the horizon for now.. Too bad there aren't any working flight-worthy ones of the AJ/SK/SH/SF/JA-37 around here anymore (wasn't any around the last "Flygets Dag" a few years ago I was on at least) :(

[@DaFlyingStrawberry]

Erik Engelbert my granddad worked at fmv for quite some time!

[@DaFlyingStrawberry]

Dave Lister you know swedish air force historic flight has one that flies at airshows constantly? Its an ajs 37 painted bare metal called Gustav 52 and used to be stationed at f15 and later f17 or f7 (cant remember)

[@marcusm5127]

Erik Engelbert My grandfather worked at flygmotor who built the RM-8 to power this beast. The exoust in about one square meter.

[@NoFlightZone]

What A AWESOME Take off sound!!!!!! 😊😀👍💥💥💥

[@SFsc616171]

As a former Asst Shop Chief for the radar calibration docks that maintained F-4's in the USAF, I find the Viggen to be a "single seat joy"!! I am in the cockpit again, although not upside down removing rear-seater 'scopes this time. The systems are a natural progression from the cockpit of an F-4 to a single seat attack aircraft. The "HUD" is not that much different from the 'aps' in the F-4. Lastly, the F-4 versions were the F-4e/f/and WW 'g''s from the 35th TFWg, When at George AFB, CA, USA.

[@juk-hw5lv]

So nice to see a such renown and well known aircraft yet so underrepresented in flight sims.Strange that the Flygvapnet which was once the third most powerful air force in the world is so underrepresented.The terrain radar is just M A R V E L O U S and i think that i will have to take quick Swedish lessons to operate this bird! I hope that we will have many occasions to test the Viggen's famous STOL capabilities - imagine taking off from a highway strip not much wider than your wingspan and skim over the treetops to sink some Soviet warships coming to invade. Godspeed Leatherneck and good luck on the job!

[@DaFlyingStrawberry]

4th most powerful

[@GrmlZGaming]

Great video. Looking forward to the Viggen. :)

[@thomaskolb8785]

Holy cow.... this is extremely realistic.

[@scarryharry1]

Awesome preview. Thank you leatherneck. The waiting was worth it.

[@LordBeer]

The Viggen looks great! I can't wait to fly it.

[@DaFlyingStrawberry]

im so excited!!!!!!!!!!

[@EvilCuRrY007]

A wise man once said: "Viggen är en stor jävla raket med vingar" / "Viggen is a big ass rocket with wings"

[@sirsmeghead]

It really is, walked through the fuselage (engine removed) of one once at F21 Airforce Base and damn that space is huge without the engine inside (sure, I was like 10 years old at the time so now so tall as I am now ^^)!

[@Skyisnotalimit]

Ja de lät då som om de skulle ut i universum när de drog på vid starterna.

[@br9809]

Bodde nära en flottilj som liten och det ljudet tar man inte miste på... Men Draken var värre. :)

[@EroxZ]

Hope to see the realistic beacon lights to :) And the visor on the pilot just for even more badass look :D

[@oskich]

Nice cockpit - Love the visibility in the M2000, but this is even better :-)

[@Wikkus]

Wow! Looks superb, guys!

[@Proximax9]

looks nice. love the data cartridge loading process :D

[@lilletrille8998]

Already pre-ordered this (own the Mig21 already and thats a beauty), going to bed now and not getting up until the end of January when the Viggen is released! Seriously though...cant wait to fly "söta brors" aircraft (thats right - I am Norwegian) LOL

[@BIGNEWY]

Nice, thanks for sharing!

[@Viper81]

Just one word: WOW!!!!!

[@iffler2542]

Let's go ahead and say let's go ahead again. ;-P

[@Aeronaut1975]

@Corvidae I know, it drives me nuts also. Let's go ahead and agree on that one!

[@eagleonesims613]

Looking good, oh and take my money. When are you going release the manual? Thought it was done already.

[@philipfoster7269]

This looks a lot simpler than the tutorial. Thanks for that. However, although you mentioned the engine startup system, you didn't point out the controls for it. Can you show it please? Again. Thankyou.

[@hhhaze]

Still the best❤

[@Cvfdsx]

Do they relies the JA 37 with Oerlikon-gun and Skyflash-missils soon? I sure as hell would like to see that💪

[@Jamokai]

that moment you are happy that you understand Swedish

[@minkattshatt]

I know an old air force pilot who used to fly the Lansen & Draken. He told me that when a pilot ejected from the Viggen the aircraft would blow of it's entire tailfin with explosives because it was to big to clear with the ejection seat. Will this be implemented?

[@andreasnyh5740]

i love this sim i live in sweden and this is my favo aircraft omg i love this sim.

[@Rlaxox]

Internal Sounds are top notch amazing but Externals are still using old crappy su-25 sounds : S

[@tigera3807]

I guess that will be changed

[@Foxhound617]

Rlaxox tbh the internal sounds are meh, it shouldn't have the crackle like being behind the afterburner just the roar of the intakes, watch an actual in cockpit take off of an aircraft such as F-16 or typhoon. Also the repeating noise would get very annoying if on afterburner for long lengths of time. But still looks better than any other module.

[@Rlaxox]

TheOddJocks Well you can then Enable the "Hear like in helmet" option and all your problems are solved

[@Foxhound617]

Rlaxox true dat, forgot about that option

[@Foxhound617]

Adam yeah I know those sound beast, especially the canopy and the cartridge bit brings memories of VHS and cassette tapes back

[@skulleader]

Thanks for this new video ;-)

[@thomaskolb8785]

Amazing... without having flewn this simulator (although having experience with the real stuff), I have to say that the cockpit behaves and looks almost totally accurate, even down to the tear and wear and paint chips at the right places! Wow! :-) The 80's low level splinter camo does not look quite correct to me though.

[@DaFlyingStrawberry]

Thomas Kolb there were slight deviations from plane to plane. The fighter viggens with splinter camos had different designs, for example. Looks accurate to me.

[@thomaskolb8785]

You may be right, but to my best knowledge, the green low-level camouflage was applied in the factory in a strict, pre-defined pattern, identical for every aircraft individual. The very same pattern was used for all versions (AJ, SK, SF, SH, AJS, and the few JA that did not wear the high-altitude scheme of various greys). If you have other information, I will happily stand corrected!

[@DaFlyingStrawberry]

im just saying i dont think these swedish guys would spend so much time on exteriors only to make it wrong

[@pereduranofcourse]

The fuel flow though

[@zanderdob9977]

Will the datacard be editable by the players, or will it just contain the data that the mission maker has provided?

[@Foxhound617]

Wait they keep releasing posts every Sunday and chrimbo is on a Sunday, Christmas release hype

[@Torikkaa]

Amazing

[@andreasnyh5740]

snacka om att jag ska köpa detta spel ajs 37 är mitt favorit flygplan utan tvekan.

[@tommeier1888]

holy shit thats amazing

[@DaFlyingStrawberry]

can we have some video or screenshots with the grey camo?

[@AdurianJ]

Grey Camo is the Fighter version !

[@burnttoast111]

If LNS doesn't make such a skin, the community probably will in short time after release.

[@DaFlyingStrawberry]

AdurianJ um...no. im referring to the original metallic one (such as the one sported by gustav 52). we will also be getting the fighter camo along with others

[@burnttoast111]

Sebastian Craenen You may consider putting in a request to someone who makes skins, too, if it is something you really want to see.

[@DaFlyingStrawberry]

i know theyre gonna add it. i just wanna see it

[@cmdrteldja62]

That cockpit ! The lights and the sound are just great ! :) So, no INS alignment required or am I missing something ?

[@JonisKanonis]

It doesn't use a classic INS of that era. I relies on gyros for orientation, air data for speed and computes movement from starting position using that. This basically requires the attitude indicator to be erected and start position to be entered, then you're ready!

[@cmdrteldja62]

Thanks for the explanation. That is good to know. Can't wait to fly that beast ! :)

[@juk-hw5lv]

CMDR Teldja So it uses airspeed instead of GS for the navigation compurt input? Quite strange but we have something like this on our Su-22 (pretty much Warsaw Pact's equivalent of Viggen) so it must work

[@JonisKanonis]

juk123 45 Pretty much but with doppler radar as wind correction to get a more accurate GS. It still drifted more than inertia based systems though. It also used a terrain database and compared the underlying terrain using the radio altimeter, this system made automatic position updates to the navigation system. The pilot could also make visual or radar based updates to fix the navigation error.

[@roteroktober360]

my radar circle keeps staying turned off, even though i didnt miss any switches, also on the panel its not lighting up

[@roteroktober360]

at 2:14 your radar is already lit up, i have done the same to this point and my radar is still off

[@AdurianJ]

Anyone else noticing the plane carries a Ja37 serial number at 3:37 !

[@TomTheTruckdriver]

Hell yeah!

[@alcapone796]

the fun thing in this aircraft you can "reverse" :D

[@andreasnyh5740]

jag säger så här denna simulatorn borde dom satsa på skaffa Söderhamns simulatorn jag har testat deras fan va fränt å sitta i viggen cockpit. tänk er då denna grafik motor till den simulator

[@NoFlightZone]

Måste vara nära nu ;) 😊😀

[@kontiuka]

f'n awesome!

[@hucklo]

Can I have it now? Please!?

[@tesz-vesz1985]

where is demo? i would like to download

[@cat-jf5lo]

Would you mind posting your trackir profile cobra?

[@BlitzOrange]

Will the Viggen be released this year?

[@ristomladich246]

wow awsome :D really like your Mig 21 btw. any word you can say about your next project?

[@lilletrille8998]

You mean the F-14? Or the next module after then F-14 is released?

[@ristomladich246]

Lille Trille :O an F14, whats next?

[@DOGosaurus_rex]

why is the ADI Bank pointer inverted ? 5:40

[@AdurianJ]

The video is made up of several attempts by Cobra to not screw up somewhere :D

[@DOGosaurus_rex]

AdurianJ yeah, but I am just pointing what might be a bug if they haven't noticed it already

[@rajm1976]

Awesome. Will we get English cockpits? I can't read Swedish :(

[@RealismFTW]

Ross Miller Yup. they said so during their AMA on reddit. :)

[@DaFlyingStrawberry]

Ross Miller there well be a translated version with english writing on the less than obvious ones

[@pierre1714]

Will the RWR be less buggy than the Mig21 one ? :D #troll2

[@JaZoN_XD]

Is it accurate that the Viggen has wingtip contrails only on the front canards? And in any case, they appear very easily...

[@RealismFTW]

Jason Jia I'd say no. it seems to be something DCS does.

[@thomasmaier7053]

It's not accurate - But at the same time, the canards have higher AOA so they are supposed to produce wingtip vertices before the wings do.

[@roteroktober360]

hwere is the fuel gauge in this plane?

[@cool_cat007smoove3]

nice

[@gieshouben6373]

damn awesome but when will it be released?

[@AeroeGraphix]

Gies Houben Nobody knows yet. Probably early 2017. Eagle Dynamics is still overviewing it and LN is still polishing it up as far as I know. Shouldn't be too long though.

[@DaFlyingStrawberry]

Gies Houben it has now been confirmed to be 27th January 2017 but preorder was made available on the 23rd of December

[@ApplesinDuck]

The internal sound is fucking on point. The external sound? kinda meh..

[@pierre1714]

They never fixed the sounds in mig. Recently, we're having issue with start sound staying ON in a mid air relight. Pretty annoying.

[@Foxhound617]

Projekt VODKA most likely eagle dynamics doing that though with the new updates

[@francesboy2]

Whats that secondary joystick next to the throttle?

[@very_spopy3015]

Maybe for sort of Tv guided Missiles or something ? no clue tbh

[@Krinje]

That one is radar control. There is another 'knob' on the right side, that is a missile steering system, but without the TV.

[@francesboy2]

Thanks!

[@AdurianJ]

Ìt's probably for maneuvering the radar, that was how it worked in the Draken, the Rb05 joystick is on the right hand side it's that raised area just below the keypad for the data computer, it doesen't look like a joystick but it's that Tetris like thing on the front of the raised area the knob behind it is just a handrest

[@AdurianJ]

Yes it is for the radar !

[@JonathanLundkvist]

Is there anybody who have a quick start checklist I can print? :D

[@MLGvlad]

that plane was capable of landing on an airfield that was not bigger than 300 meters and takeoff too!

[@joelbns]

So is Sweden going to be a faction now in DCS?

[@Iskall91]

Leon Erlandsson Sweden already is a faction since way back. They just haven't had any Swedish aircraft assigned to them, just the standard FC3 and a few others.

[@joelbns]

***** Hmm, didn't know that. Since you couldn't select Sweden as a faction in the mission generator I just assumed they just weren't there.

[@Iskall91]

You can see them in the mission editor when you click "new". They aren't in any faction by default, so it's up to you to put them where you want them.

[@DaFlyingStrawberry]

yes. the campaign will also be centered around a UN operation in the caucasus similar to the one in congo back in the 60s

[@VELCRO666]

any chance santa will let us have it before xmas day

[@DOGosaurus_rex]

75th-VFS-Snakeye very unlikely :(

[@VELCRO666]

Pyro-maniac i didnt think i was going to like it, and i already have the miragr as its similar, but i absolutly love this,

[@TheDastan96]

FAN VAD COOLT! SVENSK AVIATIK ! SWEDEN !

[@hyppyrotta71]

TheDastan96 Ja, jag åksa tycker om swediska planerna.

[@a2b3c]

when?

[@DaFlyingStrawberry]

27th of january

[@michaelhale4918]

where is the F14?

[@TotalFreakUK]

Dear Leatherneck.............Would you please allow me to throw some cash in your general direction ASAP

[@theashenone564]

where is the RWR though?

[@DOGosaurus_rex]

Prateek Mandal Lights around the Radar screen

[@99domini99]

RWR works in the same sense as the Mig-21 RWR. Remember this plane is quite old.

[@NoFlightZone]

👍💥

[@SiimAlas]

Neeext?

[@Denka1233]

What game it is?

[@Jockesse]

DCS. Digital Combat Simulator. You can find it for free at steam. Although you need to buy the planes seperately. Very fun, but very deep learning curve if you are not used to simulators.

[@geraltofvengerberg3049]

su25 sound again :(((

[@Braeden123698745]

I knew I recognized it. But hey, sounds are really hard to make. Early Access

[@limeacid]

what about f-14?

[@MegaFPVFlyer]

It's coming later, that's all we know at this point. Leatherneck mentioned mid to late next year but it is subject to change

[@tima6044]

Master-craft, but oh lord that flight computer is awful. It seems so convoluted and that may be the reason I don't get this. Hopefully it's more intuitive than we've seen so far.

[@SDsc0rch]

DATA CARTRIDGE!!

[@PeTTs0n88]

I just came.

[@pierre1714]

mind fixing Mig21 instead of selling another buggy product ? #troll

[@Express0083]

Next time lower the engine sound

[@MititeluRadu]

just 1 Huge problem: Cockpit. Can we hope for an English cockpit this time around or we should wait for ppl to do what should be in the game from the start. It is so stupid and breaks immersion so much the need to remember picture of wards that has 0 meaning for you. You are not managing systems anymore, you are repeating some actions like a monkey, and if you are a smart monkey and manage to reproduce the exact same actions the rocket will fire. I really can't believe that a studio will put so much energy in creating a great product just to put off players with labels. Just imagine Tesla selling cars and German UI only. And no I do not hate you, in fact that is why I am so upset because your products are so good, but we need such a small thing as a english cockpit to enjoy it and you will not do it.

[@HeatblurSimulations]

The MiG-21 has had a Russian and English cockpit available since it released in September 2014. I'm not sure what you are refering to?

[@MititeluRadu]

I was talking exactly about Mig-21. Yes hints are there if you want to have that in English, but for cockpit I didn't manage to locate that option, so I use a user made mod. The fact that EN mods are updated for Mig 21 means other players have problems locating it. (I don't say there is none, since you clearly know way more then me, I just say we missed it).

[@gtaxmods]

"hints are there"...? It's in the same spot in the options menu as all of the other cockpit customization options. You know, the menu where you go to select your usermade cockpit you keep talking about?

[@MititeluRadu]

you need to go and change Hint_localizer file to have hints in English, but I didn't manage to find any English cockpit. I guess we need to ask Cnuggat where is it since he is so much smarter then me.
