DCS F-15E Strike Eagle: Overhead Break

Recording of the training mission teaching the player how to do an overhead break in the F-15E Strike Eagle. Mine wasn't too good, but it is to show off the mission itself, not my doubtful flying skills.
This and other interactive training missions will be released with the #f15e for #dcsworld by @RadZamb

Instructor: nose up 12 degrees to aerobrake Pilot: *does nothing* F15E: this is fine. Viper pilots everywhere: am I a joke to you??

[@rudelchw]

Great mission, I'm so glad that you refrained from using those ugly gates that ED loves to use on this type of mission 👍

[@RedTail1-1]

It's kind of difficult to just be told "do this, turn like this, fly like this. Pull this much AoA/g" without visual reference. Those gates are incredibly helpful

[@timmy3822]

This is going to be terrific to learn to fly. The real time feedback and guidance gives you a big boost. Great job!

[@radoslawbiernacki]

The aero breaking part - well done xD

[@Jakes_1-1]

The Hornet has "Bitchin' Betty" yelling at you to "PULL UP"... the Eagle has "Backseat Bernie", the instructor, calmly giving you "You're a little low" commands...Nice. Absolutely incredible work! The price of the Eagle is worth every penny with these training flights included! Can't wait to terrify Bernie with my "skills"

He has some more constructive criticism to offer if you don’t fly within the limits in this one :)

Great video again!! So im used to hornet and a10 / f14 whats the deal regarding trim for the Eagle? is it like the F16 where you dont use it

[@SDsc0rch]

cold-start video WHEN ?!? : ))

[@Wolfhound_81]

No explanation how hard to pull on the break, I think you should explain the 1% g rule.

[@balticdragon3611]

I think it works for the Hornet, but not necessarily here. A lot depends on the weight, weather, lenght of airfield etc, hence a lot depends on your feeling of the aircraft. There is no golden rule (apart from 20-22 AoA on final). The rest is practice and training.

[@0BuLLeT01]

Hmmm... So takeoff, landing, radar, weapons employment all done so far... Could a cold and dark start be next?

[@garethroberts9223]

Super Mod, Super excited, Good tutorial - Landing needs a little work guys!- Looks a handful compared to the hornet!

[@Deltarious]

This training mission needs some work IMO. During the downwind portion you specify to cut throttle to idle and do not ever mention what to do with it next. Yes, it can be *assumed* that you bring the power back up, and the text chart does specify 250 knots, but you are specifically *trying* to remove assumptions in a tutorial scenario, especially for absolute beginners. Even in this demo run through the pilot gets much too slow themselves on the downwind, I saw ~180kn with significant loss of altitude and then while being told to check the gear and flaps are down they increase the power. This would be very confusing for an absolute beginner, ideally you want to encourage them to stabilise their wings level downwind *first* and then perform their checklist. They can always extend their downwind if needed.

[@누리온-d6p]

Also need to check fuel remaining for landing distance due to grossweight😊 But great vid!!

[@cobrac4t34]

PAPI lights were red over red or are they not accurate in DCS ?

[@mashedxpotats]

Anyone else notice that at some point before the video started he pulled 9G in that jet? Having a little fun before take off and recording, Dragon?

It was never going to Release in 2022? Cuz this is a huge delay then.

[@agostonbazmajer1100]

It probably was going to but for whatever reason they had to delay it. Now MT and the last minute change of the targeting pod also caused further delays. I don't expect it before the end of the year.

@@avgeek5396 A few months ago they decided to deliver LANTIRN as the first pod as opposed to LITENING, the one they had worked on previously. Obviously that has different optics, symbology, capabilities, etc. So it's likely a ton of extra work. I wouldn't be surprised if just this one change added a few months of extra dev time.

[@michaelotto1245]

I'm starting to feel like I'm being fooled by RAZBAM. Baltic Dragon already wants missions with the F-15E. To date, Steam users have not been able to get the pre-order with a discount. A release date is still a long time coming. RAZBAM is slowly making itself very unbelievable and not only fooling you users of DCS, but also itself.

[@stephensanford5273]

Steam probably has rules regarding time between pre order and release. The standard time is about 90 days. If I were a Steam user I'd check with them and see what their standards are, might give you a better idea.

[@RW-zn8vy]

@@stephensanford5273 if your product doesn’t have a release steam doesn’t let you sell it I do believe.

[@stephensanford5273]

kind of what I figured.

[@balticdragon3611]

So.. do you want to have some training missions on release or not? :) I couldn’t prepare them without early access to the module, but everyone else will get it at the same time I think, although it is possible that Steam will come a bit later like it does with all new modules.

Isn't HUD E bracket option available FOR AOA reference in real F-15 E ?

[@EagleSQN]

I think, to add more knowledge about overhead break, maybe you can add some information about WHY SHOULD TURN RIGHT/LEFT, there is some parameters for that like a terrain, building, Local Procedures for the Airfield and so on 😀

[@blackndmild246]

release date when

[@lenn55]

I don't know if it lighting or what but the cockpit just doesn't look as realistic as the one in the DCS F-14 or the Viper. Maybe it's the textures.

[@ProGamer-gc3wv]

It looks like the real cockpit and it looks very good in DCS. Sometimes we want something more real as the real thing can be. I remember me my self one day in DCS free flight and saw those ugly clouds and i thought, oh man looks crap. Next week i was out walking, and i saw exactly the same ugly clouds in real and i relized, that we expect from games more then it could be in real.

[@martinklaus2203]

Easy peasy. No problem.

[@SteonCZ]

Startup video please 🙂

[@jw8697]

Ehh... I understand how to perform an overhead break, but then if your flying overhead in the flying tennis court... how can you physically see you are 3/4 along the length of the runway? Again, I get it, but i think I will just continue doing " carrier landings " in this, as its already a habit I have built up in every other plane thanks to the F-18/F-14.

[@alvarodelaorden8901]

good point, you need to establish a reference point within your visual range, maybe some hangars by the end of the runway, terminal buildings, control tower, even outside of the airbase perimeter. If you ever land on Nellis AB 03 runways, there are 2 distinctive massive hangars by the right side, or even the racetrack on the left, which pretty much fit this purpouse

that wasnt such a clean landing though ;)
