DCS F-16 Viper ACM Modes Tutorial

[@vakostyle]

This is the best and most comprehensive video on the ACM for the viper. I’m really happy I found your channel. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@TrickerDCS]

Hey I appreciate the comment

[@ZoeSummers1701A]

@@TrickerDCS quick question. Is there nowhere in the F16 that shows the guns ammo remaining? I've never seen a fighter that doesn't show this especially in the hud.

[@TrickerDCS]

@@ZoeSummers1701A SMS page, will show as a number like 45, (450) rounds remaining

[@Firebolt193]

Awesome video. Short and to the point, no waffling, no fucking around, just shows keybinds required and how to work the modes. You've gotten yourself another sub my man!

[@TrickerDCS]

Thanks bro!

[@digitaldyslexia7589]

Don't know why it's so hard for other youtubers to just make concise tutorials like this. Redkite is good but bland, spud gives us 20 minutes of irrelevant history, and grim reapers videos make me want to die. Thanks for making something to the point and easy to understand.

[@TrickerDCS]

Appreciate the kind words!

[@yieovgwqxaz7912]

LOL grim reapers is not so bad but spud is way too long. deephack is not too bad as well.

[@complover116]

@@yieovgwqxaz7912 GR tutorials are wild because half the time they don't know shit themselves. Like in all the Ka-50 tutorials the presenter is fighting the autopilot, not understanding how it works, all while trying to make a "tutorial". Tricker knows what he's talking about.

[@KamionKing]

This video should be in DCS training.

[@TrickerDCS]

I'll send a note to the boss!

@Cassius Rylan thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@sinceregerald4003]

@Cassius Rylan it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my ass :D

[@andrewchr]

This is probably one the best tutorials for the F-16 out there.

[@TrickerDCS]

Hope to do more when more features come out!

[@christophermcsherry2655]

I am going to like this plane. Thanks for the knowledge. I bought the Viper on my as one of my first purchases in DCS with the first time 50% discount. I never used it & wondered if I should have even bought it. Now I figured I would deep dive into it and I am so glad I got it. It is badass plane. I remember the Vipers taking off in pairs all day long while I was deployed to Iraq, truly badass!

[@Steen_Skov]

Oh those sneaky MiG-29's.... now they can camuflage themselves as Su-27's.... Good on them! :D ;)

[@velamenradicum]

looked like a MIG-28 to me...

[@Steen_Skov]

@@velamenradicum 😉😄😆😅🤣

[@Nightsd01]

I saw two ejections, so it was either an Su-27UB/K trainer (unlikely) or was more likely an Su-30

[@pd28cat]

Best tutorial. No BS and no slow spudknocker waffle for watchtime.

[@UNDERST0RY]

The best video I have seen on ACM modes.

[@jerrodcorey25]

This is THE video I've been waiting for in the Viper ! !

[@aek00001]

The best ACM tutorial online!

[@anticlub1982]

This helped a ton! Didn't even know this was possible. Could've probably won a lot more dog fights with this knowledge! Great work man keep it up! You earned a sub

[@TrickerDCS]

Thanks for the comment 💪

[@dimitriskatsoulis4834]

I think the best part of this video sums up to the phrase "Arr" in the end! 🤣🤣🤣 Kidding! Very nice video! Greetings from Greece!

[@pedditte84]

thank you dude for your complete and professional explanation about ACM...I saw many videos about it to try to understood difference with enable switch and uncage use un dogfight mode and only with your video I can understood it simply

[@TrickerDCS]

Happy it helped! Thanks for the comment

[@KhaledNoorbasyouny]

*Best ACM Modes Tutorial,* Well Done and thanks a lot

[@simonliin]

F-16 all the way baby! Coolest jet....and instructor ;)

[@shawnbowers5509]

Really like the way you present your training on the F-16. I've been putting off this model it's setting in my hanger until ED creates more systems but it looks like they are starting to get it up to speed. I know it takes a lot of time to create these videos and I hope you continue creating more, so when I pull the trigger to hope over to the F16 I have a one stop shop for learning.

[@TrickerDCS]

Glad to help! Thanks!

[@333crypta]

same lmao

[@Raven-sv4es]

I'm about to test/learn the Viper in WVR Engagements. So, perfect timing and well explained. Thanks

[@TrickerDCS]

Have fun!

[@gnittegdellort]

Great video mate. Really cleared some things up for me. Do you know if you put it into bore mode on the right MFD, if it's stuck in the boresight mode with the JHMCS? i.e you can't use HUD/vertical scan?

[@tsangarisjohn]

Viper Rules!!!

[@schweizerluchs7146]

F-16C 🐍

[@Topbuzzr]

Thank you

[@bartschoorl7077]

When you were in boresight submode you were able to uncage a lock by the eclipse if im right the (hmcs). But when you uncage the lock. It looked kinda odd, by aft the lock the eclipse hmcs was turned off and it made the boresight submode lock only by the hud. So, how do you aft the lock by still keeping the eclipse (hmcs) ON to switch to another target? I really like your informative videos there so easy to follow. Keep it up!

[@TrickerDCS]

If you lock a bandit with the ellipse, you use TMS aft short to unlock the bandit. You will still be in ellipses mode. If you unlock the bandit with tms aft and do tms aft again, you will now be in boresight

[@MILSIM530]

good Vid

[@leofer1651]

Question:^If the Missile is in bore mode and you are using the vertical scan, will it lock the missile right ate the time you get him in the sight? or do I still need to use uncage?

[@zoranbrasnjo7488]

At 1:54 I get 20/60/slew? What am I missing? Or they didn't update the tutorial

[@tomc6086]

I like your cockpit settings. What FOV are you using? It looks realistic without any wide angle distortions at the edges. The hud looks properly centered and sized yet we still see much of the cockpit. Can you go into detail on your settings such as seat/head position and FOV?

[@TrickerDCS]

I just use the default positioning, no mods or custom settings on the positioning. I just maybe maybe zoom out a little

[@mikeg2092]

Great video, very helpful. Are you good to launch 120s as soon as you’re locked up?

[@TrickerDCS]

That is the proper logic but sometimes in DCS it doesn't work the best (drops lock).

[@mmmdawe]

would be nice to show how to enter different modes with mouse, i cannot use binds so its useless for me

[@Kraken9911]

I had read that uncaging the aim9 is optional. I've always launched it immediately when bogey is boxed while in acm.

[@TrickerDCS]

I would recommend uncaring the missiles at the present moment to get a proper track

[@RealTorick]

Any idea why im not getting the radar ellipse on my hmd in acm dogfight boresight mode?

[@1comie]

Did you know that if you have the 9's in Bore you can also use the depress switch to slave? Fancy.... P.S I'm your No1 Fan

[@TrickerDCS]

Haha I did, but I never use that node because a SCOTSMAN told me to do it, YARRRR

[@denesk2794]

Lol ... at one point in the video I tried to Trackir-follow the plane by moving my head up :) ....

[@D001lz]

Good video thanks. Is there any way to not lose the HSD from the MFD when entering dogfight mode - is this a feature or a bug?

[@oldfashionedwrx3574]

how do you get a2a radar to display in dog fight mode, where u can view what its scanning altitude wise in ft

[@overlord64n6]

Is there a way to make the 9x uncage automatically in HMD Boresight similliar to the Hornets HACQ? would be so much better.

[@TrickerDCS]

Negative, you have to uncage it

[@JulianQ]

Sometimes my boresight pattern on the hud is dashed and I cant get the eclipse to show up on my HMCS, any idea whats going on here?

[@TrickerDCS]

You are in slew mode, which was added after this video, I’ll need to update this

[@JulianQ]

@@TrickerDCS Ooh thanks for clarifying I understand now

[@Trucker-Belly]

I don’t think you need to uncage in boresight mode.

[@jamesgraham5495]

what is dogfight mode is it the air to air button on the top or something else

[@TrickerDCS]

It's a key command you can bind on your HOTAS

[@milkovivaldi]

Is F-16 dcs as complete or nearly as BMS?

[@TrickerDCS]

Negative, not by a long shot

[@nickst2797]

Does dcs world include f16 Block-70 and the AN/APG-83 radar? Thank you!

[@TrickerDCS]

Negative

[@nickst2797]

@@TrickerDCS Thank you

[@encryptedaviation1452]

What map is this?

[@GuyonPince]

Can someone tell me why in bore mode i am only able to move the seeker from left to right, and is locked in the vertical?

[@TrickerDCS]

It's a bug that just got introduced

[@felipecintron3401]

but how do i return the hud back to nav or bvr mode? after i'm done in dogfight mode.

[@TrickerDCS]

Click A/A on the UFC to switch to AA and then click again to go to Nav. The way I do it is move the dogfight switch back to the center position. The center position on the switch is the default one with neither mode active, returning the Dogfight Switch to the center cancels either Dogfight Mode or MRM Mode and returns the jet to the state it was in when the switch was set to an override mode.

[@felipecintron3401]

@@TrickerDCS ok then i need another bind on my x52. don't have center position .. i just have dogfit mode setup so i can use my gun. thanks. but this will reset the HUD back to the way it was before i hit gunfight mode?

[@TrickerDCS]

Yep that's correct! I usually fly in MRM or missile override most the time I'm flying and go to dogfight when I'm merged

[@537R4HC]

how u get a HUD in ur visor ?

[@TrickerDCS]

There's a rotary knob above the throttle on the left to enable/disable the HMD

[@yieovgwqxaz7912]

Let's see if this is any good.

[@Surpriseify]

8:33 lets get rid of this WHAT? ;D
