Been flying DCS since Xmas of 2018. These 60sec clips are perfect!! Thanks for the tips man, happy hunting!

I don't even play DCS, this is just interesting to watch

[@earth-chan9577]

Well if you ever find yourself in an F16 at least you'll know how to send freedom to the adversaries.

[@blackdelta4516]

i'm also sure this will be useful for my next visit to my local airbase

[@PWKAVIATION]

Agree

[@WALTERBROADDUS]

Well this explains why stealth matters a lot more than doing fancy Cobra maneuvers or flying at Mach 3.

I mean, speed gives a big missile range advantage

[@tehbigshow]

Yes, it does help! I never could quite get TMS to work correctly when I needed. Did the training several times, just couldn't get it reliable. Maybe I was not waiting long enough for the system to build in the targets. It looks so easy but it never really was when I was in actual combat.

[@lilIAN97huh]

Yeah ive been doing dcs for a couple weeks now. Can remember the startup perfectly. But when it comes to all the weapons and radar functions the training is absolutely abysmal at explaining them

This is the most genius way I have seen someone utilize this format on KZbin and the most genius way to do DCS tutorials for those of us who are just trying to have some fun and learn a few new things. Thank you sir!

F18 pilots: “tws yes I know this” “What the fuck it just does it for you xD”

hornet pilots can also just switch between targets in TWS with the NWS button. The F-16 and Hornet behave rather similarly in this instance.

[@bigrob966]

I couldn't imagine stepping through this procedure in a real life engagement. I can understand now why pilots praise the level of automation in the F35

It's easy with your hotas commands. Flip the switch to AA mode on hotas, TMS hold right, goes to TWS. Then do the rest as he explained, target each

Thanks for these videos. My xbox series x just died a year and a half after my wife got it for me for Christmas. Best buy failed to put it under Total Tech coverage so its a brick. Now im getting a gaming pc for my birthday and i want to play DCS and these videos are getting me up to speed before i even get the tower.

[@pinkfloyd7572]

Love this series!

[@debbiestimac5175]

It's always a good idea to begin reducing altitude and turn away from the bandits/minimum abort range... so that you can turn away and go cold as soon as possible to defend incoming missiles from either air or surface to air threats. Sling you missiles from up high and get down to denser air to bleed the enemy missile energy. Then when you are clear, turn back around and go hot on the bandit tracks once again and take out the stragglers. Each time you turn back in, is called a "leaf", always avoiding the no man's land that is the MAR... going there for a dogfight is for suckers and if everything else goes wrong in the engagement. Heroes always buy the farm... given enough time in the air.

[@delayed_control]

It doesn't need to be a triangle, it just needs to be solid. If you don't have DL available everything will be a square.

Yep. This is for the majority. Majority have awacs.

[@fabiolean]

My brain heard you say “red tingle” instead of rectangle. It was very confusing

[@brokenibrahim32]

well, time to go hunting with a stolen viper

[@deekamikaze]

Too bad the triangles are never solid red because the radar on the F16 seems to only track at 35 miles but by the time you get a track you're dead from fox 3s

[@cyronader]

Can you upload the full screen version of this video if you get time? You know- in 1080p? This video is super useful though. I keep checking but cant find the full screen version of this tutorial. [EDIT] I do see you have a longer form tutorial you just linked for someone else.

[@BogeyDope]

It should be in the description. Just note, that older one, TWS worked differently then. This short is more accurate to the way it works now. ONLY for TWS. The old one is accurate for RWS procedure.

[@RAAFLightning1]

RWS SAM is actually better for tracking multiple targets and works at better range. I used to be a tws guy as well but recently RWS has been much more reliable

[@BogeyDope]

Agreed. I don't use TWS often either. However, this was just to keep with completing the series of shorts. Here is my RWS short - kzbin.infoHM1uU2gyYkg

This is an example of if you have an AWACS. If you don't have an AWACS in the air, you won't get "red" tracks. They'll be white. Then they'll turn solid white.

[@saltyfloridaman7163]

Can you do an F-35A with 50% fuel vs an F-16 with 100% fuel in a dogfight video? Irl the F-35 is designed to carry an insane amount of fuel so it doesn't need to use external tanks. 50% fuel is the same amount of fuel as 100% in the F-16. Irl the F-35 is a better dogfighter as well, I just wanna see how close the mod gets

What does team is right mean. I'm assuming your team is oriented off your right wing?

[@BogeyDope]

Abbreviation "TMS Right" = Target Management Switch right

[@BS-kp8uj]

For me it doesn't work. There are no yellow and red triangles, only white boxes. Is there something that is missing?

[@BogeyDope]

If you only have white boxes then you don't have an AWACS in the area. Still the same procedure, just tms up on what you want and it'll become a larger bolder white box.

[@Masterkey96967]

So when i do this the track never turns into solid red triangle they just stay white squares, when i hit tms right it selects the nearest square. What am i doing wrong?

[@BogeyDope]

White squares just means you don't have an AWACS or datalink track telling you if it is a friend or foe. The behavior is still the same, and the procedure is the same. The color is just white when you don't have a datalink track. If TMS right only selects one and wont cycle to the next, then it means that is the only one you have a full track file for. Wait until all the white squares are large solid white squares. They'll start out small. Wait till they're BOLD. From there, you will be able to cycle through by pressing tms right. Let me know if that makes sense.

[@Masterkey96967]

@@BogeyDope that makes perfect sense, when I tms right it usually switches between targets on the scope. I was concerned I was firing the missiles in stt or Maddog
