[@Ibikyo1]

This video is 5 years old and I still come back to watch it from time to time, even though I still haven't come around to buying the Viggen. Somehow you manage to make watching this video so enjoyable that I don't even feel the need to buy a new module afterwards. Thank you and take care

[@JiveDilletante]

That's a super kind comment! You've made my day, thank you!

[@RocketSurgn_]

Same, though I do have the Viggen and keep trying to take the time to slowly learn it! I also use your video to show to non Sim or aircraft friends an idea of how interesting they can be. Beautiful job with the video, and it really stands up to time!

[@JiveDilletante]

@@RocketSurgn_ Thanks! I really need to make my 'Why I Love The Tomcat' video next

[@RocketSurgn_]

@@JiveDilletante By all means, please do! I commented when I was just looking the video back up to share with a friend that knows nothing about planes but asked 'what do they use that one for, whats so special about it?' when I mentioned the Viggen offhand and she came away saying she wants a ride in one, haha. Even if the Tomcat wasn't another favorite of mine, it would be great to see more like this. Plus hard to beat the timing with the new Top Gun coming out and a Tomcat Cameo, y'know?

[@Mattebubben]

Brilliant Video mate!. Perfectly Showcases the performance / Abilities on the AJS 37!

[@slowneutron6163]

Know what I love about the Viggen? The fact that it lights up like a Xmas-tree on radar making it all the easier to shoot that thing down.

[@hitchy98]

Watching all these videos of the Viggen makes me hopeful for more ground attackers that aren't either the A-10 or the Su-25, maybe the Tornado IDS or Su-34/Su-24

[@Jimbotheone]

I got even more swedish watching this. Those cluster bomb pods blew my mind.

[@franklinreinozakoch417]

very nice video, what are gpu are you using?

[@dominskaya]

H-24 now =) but this viggen is just the AJS version, not JA =( idk if this plane can be more fun than A10c, wait and see ...

[@JiveDilletante]

dominskaya As someone who loves the A-10C I've got to say that the Viggen ranks up there with it.

[@dominskaya]

just want to say: hope ! =) btw, nice video ♥

[@RM-el3gw]

you have a really chill style of narrating, and your editing is pretty sweet too. Awesome

[@David123321]

Swedish engineering quality

[@CreepySunny]

Ya'll remember when jive used to upload

[@grafzahl5442]

seriusly though. the music you picked for this video perfectly captures my feelings for this aircraft. you did the same with your MiG video btw. great job!

[@billthemanofgoodnis]

why i will like the viggen is because now, for the fist time in DCS, we can do high speed, low altitude and dangerous popup style attacks like that from falcon BMS. never before could you do mission where you penetrate the enemy airspace at mach 1, doge SAM's and do cool maneuvers, pop up to see tracers are all ready flying at you and then bomb the shit out of the target. that was my favorite thing to do in BMS, and now that i will soon do the same type of mission in dcs is fantastic .

[@JiveDilletante]

billthemanofgoodnis I completely agree. It's the closest DCS module we have to the BMS play style.

[@kuntaquinte4726]

I was just thinking "But wouldn't the Mirage 2000 fit in that category too?". Then I got to the part when you leave one in the dust. Brilliant video, as always.

[@spacejam5410]

Tomcat for dcs is now for pre order, might be what your looking for. From the same developers as the viggen ad you probably know

[@X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X]

I would have loved the fighter version (JA 37) of the Viggen. This, while it is a truly fascinating aircraft, does not manage to catch me as a fighter would.

[@forglewitts]

But seriously, can we just talk about this tracklist? HRNG.

[@rinalds637]

IFKR?!

[@ericanker9049]

I don't know how many times I have seen this video; I simply love it..... Great flying, great composure, lovely music, great comments, and of course great fighter. Thanks!!!

[@JiveDilletante]

Thanks a lot 👍

[@droneforfun5384]

Fun fact: At full afterburner, viggen could kill a guy instanty as far as 50m behind the aircraft. The Viggen had a good acceleration from stand still but it was at higher speeds (700kmh or above) the acceleration was really superb, due to the higher amunt of air flowing into the inlets...

[@randomxm-1875]

interesting.... btw qestion where you got this from?

Oh Jive, I've missed you so. And then you release a Viggen video! As a Swede it couldn't get better!

[@Hellreign82]

Very nice and informative Video, enjoyed that a lot. Top stuff Got to agree, Leatherneck are on a very cool path with their craft choices, and the level of execution is top notch. Looking forward to getting home tonight to try this bird out

[@nantarg]

Obligatory swedish comment: Viggen viggen viggen viggen viggen viggen!

[@ajreis536]

Where is dat subscribe Switch. FInally someone makes pleasant and useful video with very unique music! Super relaxing! Keep it up and thanks for your effort!

[@PropaneWP]

Extra points for Midnight In A Perfect World

[@JiveDilletante]

One of my all time favourite tracks, Endtroducing is an incredible album

[@christopherbazaka1564]

unexpected DJ Shadow. fuck yea

[@tituan9152]

what was the music at 7:00?

[@mhe123321]

I discovered LORN through this video. Thanks for that. Furthermore, i realised that I have no friends who play flight sims and that I will never be able to afford a PC that can run DCS as well as yours.

[@Elitmaseen]

Would be cool to see the JA 37 in DCS. Different radar, bigger engine, different weapons and with a internal 30mm gun.

[@olivialambert4124]

Excellent video. New to your channel but I'm certainly here to stay. My only advice, the microphone was a little low. Especially with the music playing and especially at the start. It was pretty hard to make out your commentary. Aside from that keep up the hard work, both entertaining and informative - I'm honestly surprised you don't have more views on this.

[@JiveDilletante]

+Olivia Lambert Thanks. A few people have mentioned voice volume now so I'll take that into account next time and add a bit of gain

[@olivialambert4124]

JiveDilettante Awesome. Otherwise keep up the good work.

[@wendake215]

Bought the Viggen a few weeks ago and it's - by far - my favorite module in DCS. Flying this bird at low altitude with full burners ON is just amazing. Nice video and great music choice !

[@JiveDilletante]

It's definitely up there for me, I have a big soft spot for the F-14 too

[@GrmlZGaming]

Very nice video. Cant wait to fly this plane.

[@JiveDilletante]

GrmlZGaming Cheers GrmlZ, I'm looking forward to any content you put out on it

[@bullitthead7853]

Dang Grmlz, they didn't give you a pre-release copy? What were they thinking??!!

[@MicroVAX]

Best Viggen early access video so far and probably will stay hands down. Great job !

[@GoatFiddler]

An oldie but a goldie and the only aircraft to get an acknowledged radar lock on the SR-71 Blackbird I see...which was nice. Vid needs more old skool refuelling shenanigans though.

[@JiveDilletante]

It doesn't air to air refuel but we could still apply the same technique as the A-10C :D

[@GoatFiddler]

Huzzar! As a side note if I may...in regards to a recent flight to Berlin with Ryanair I had the displeasure of being on, I'm of the opinion that the video in question was used by them under the errant heading of "instructional". Thanks for the vid - always entertaining :)

[@AlexKall]

Even records from a former Viggen pilot that the JA actually even got a simulated shoot down of a SR-71. If this is actually true is another thing and even if it is I doubt we will see any proof of it.

[@MarvinBoydCo]

Honestly probably one of the best reviews of any DCS module

[@kainhall]

im predicting a lot of people sitting in 104ths TS asking for help about the viggen just like people did (and still do) for the a-10 and all its complex systems someone always knows a thing you dont know the a-10....im sure peoppel will be finding even more about hte viggen i thought this was being made by bellshittech....i LOVE my mig 21....love it so much im not sure i want to get the viggen, as id stop flying the 21....and only fly the viggen....

[@crudboy12]

I have learned to operate most of the essential systems in the A-10, but every time I don't fly it for a while I forget the HOTAS key binds and have to re-learn all of them.

[@TacticalSandals]

Viggin is spectacular I love it for low and fast ground target missions. However since the release of the F/A 18C I have not spend much time in it. The pure amount of firepower both ground and air the F/A 18 brings to a fight is just so powerful, and those new Aim 9X's are dirty with that helmet cam.

[@slicershanks1919]

I never noticed it, but the Viggen's maverick scope looks just like the random scope on top of the dash of the X-Wings from Star Wars.

[@kensai7]

I really love the anti-missile defense systems of the Russian (Soviet) ships. But what type does exactly the missile hit at 2:30?

[@YammoYammamoto]

I was gonna get the Viggen no matter what... but had I been even remotely on the fence, this quick brief on the plane would certainly have swayed me to get it. :D Thanks!

[@jonowee]

This is *the* fast jet I obsessed over in my younger years and still till this day, 16 year old me thanks you. Also, don't let me be in any large aircraft around you.

Best Viggen review out there, yet! Still haven´t given up the hope that one day we will get similar reviews for all DCS modules by you, good sir!

[@JiveDilletante]

Very kind of you to say so, thanks. It's really a timing issue at the moment, I enjoyed making this and the MiG video but they're a lot of work. Maybe more in the future but no promises

[@joe1506]

Your music choice is impeccable as always. Really fitting and complements the video well. Saved a few songs from your videos over the years. I'd love some suggestions of albums or artists to check out!

[@Tordan69]

Lovely video and very nice flying. Have you done any tweaking to the control curves? I´m curious since I´m a casual player with little experience in tweaking them, and especially taking off often leaves me a) wobbling down the runway and b) with a fairly abrupt non-smooth pull up/lift off. Cheers!

[@rybuds47]

your vids are great man. you always have a song from my playlist on here too!

[@Tome4kkkk]

Hi! DCS camera guy here ;) You might want to check my Dora formation practice. The camera setup I used would go so well with Viggen

[@andrewe3165]

For it's time Viggen was a beast.

[@AnchorSandGaming]

hey Jive, love the video you earned a sub, I will buy this if you are willing to do a tutorial series, not the normal type of tutorials EITHER, like do it your own way, loved the video and the effort!

[@finnm.2582]

Why I like the Viggen: -Flying Mach 1.28 at 25m ASL is awesome -Easy to learn, hard to master -Very fast start up by hand (has no Auto Start) -Dedicated Ground Attack Platform -Wide varianty of munitions -Reverse Gear

[@AnotherDying]

Thanks for this really nice video. I hope we'll see more of this plane from you. :>

[@paristo]

Viggen is the Western side Su-25T by many ways, slightly better by its speed and capability to carry RB75 by its Fire-and-Forget capabilities, but then again it is so limited by many ways compared to Su-25T. It is just ultra cool aircraft to fly, a very special one and adds so much to the DCS. Just we now need to wait to see that ED will improve a lot of AI reaction times, aiming, logic. And then will add simulation to radar, chaff, flares, IFF etc. As now the Viggen (as every other CAS or other Strike Aircraft) are seriously handicapped by ground forces not being simulated at all.

[@alexanderryan-jones600]

Love the Viggen, easily my favourite DCS module. Incidentally if you ever want to give yourself the horrors- watch the film clip for Lorn - Anvil.

[@arudegesture]

One thing, though; The Viggen could quite comfortably take off and land on a 300m straight road. The 500m (not sure where you got 600m from) take-off/landing was for peacetime conditions with all the added safety, but if war had come 300m would suffice.

[@Air-Striegler]

How I would like to thumb up this marvelous video each time I watch it.... Can we expect similar reviews for othe modules in DCS? that would be so STHRAWNG! I am always amazed by the good music taste and the good editing. All in all a delight to watch!

[@jamesm.taylor6928]

The Viggen was a truly excellent aircraft for the Swedes. Perfectly tailored for their needs and operational requirements--which is also one of the main reasons it did not sell to other countries as few, if any other countries have the unique set of needs Sweeden does and thus what they need from any fighter/intercepor aircraft. I personally cant think of any other country that has simlar operational realities and possible future challanges, based on where they are physically in Europe, and who their boogermen might be now and in the future that would dictate how they would be forced to fight in any war defending their Soverienty and freedom as well as territory and citizens that in turn directly determines any capabilities and to a large extent even the look of any Fighter/Interceptor they put into service. The Viggen has served the Swedes long and well.and for its time was counted amoung the best of its kind in the world as a sheer interceptor in the vein of the MIG 21, MIG 25 and NATO/American (Flown be Sweedens Neighbor Germany for many years during the Cold war as the Starfighter and Viggen both were such excellent aircraft designed by geniuses--in Americas case the increadible and famous Kelly and his equally famous SkunkWorks, and both designs go beyond the limits of straight interceptor like the Soviet MIGs 21 and 25. F104 StarFighter and Viggen could fly profiles far beyond the interceptor profile and poke its little nose into the Air Superiority, Air to Mud CAS or Close Air Support, Anti Ship fun stuff for the Viggen while the 104 isnt as capable admittedly but very far from a slouch ramp queen like the M1IG 25 turned out to be (Sad too as the 25 was suprisingly a beautiful aircraft. The Soviets have created some of the ugliest things ever to fly as we all know. Many designs looked as if they were forcing the air around them to give them support through violence and fraud where most western designs looked more like a gracefull creature of the air working with it sailing with and through it an act of natural cooperation and beauty. Perhaps considering Stalin--the worlds most prolific mass murderer, master of violence and physcological and physical terror, friend to none liar to all, and general all around common criminal and shit wrapped skin thug. Putin the same type of wonderful person with the exception he hasnt murdered and tortured AS MANY innocent men, women, and children stupid enpugh to have trusted him...yet. But for some strange reason thats the type of "Human" Russians chhose to love trust and choose to lead them throughout their history right to current times. Continually rejecting freedom, freedom of choice location and speech, trade ect in favour of dictator common criminals who murder them and their children at even the aquisation of a wrong word passing their lips. So ugly stupid criminal murderer leaders and obviously stupid people. Makes sense that the things they make would be just as ugly. Crap quality clumsy and out of step with normal human beings of the restvof the entire universe.

[@ollyk22]

So what if... I have f18 harrier and can either go for this, or middle east... :-/ Hard to decide!!

[@carpetclimber4027]

Viggen got locks when chasing SR-71 Blackbirds close to Swedish airspace during the cold war in the stratosphere. It was extremely good for its time. The elite pilots always practiced for war time conditions back then, at least the veterans. Many died. A very fearsome airforce back then. Viggen always start car alarms during air shows. What a beast. It could do anything.

[@paulcarr6388]

if DCS added plane FARPS we could use for the viggen, harrier, etc anywhere on the MAP. id buy every STOL aircraft today.

[@medotaku9360]

I just bought this yesterday and so far have noticed that the training missions are too few. Only 4 weapon systems and basic startup sequence? And now I'm wondering, how did you even see a target in that night time shot? Does this thing have any night vision capabilities? I also noticed that it appears I have two A2A missiles in some training, but I have no idea how to use them. Guess I'd better rtfm... But I didn't see anything about any thermal cameras in the table of contents. Still a fun plane to go fast in. This thing almost flies itself.

[@GorbadIronclaw]

Might wanna lower the music a bit more for the speaking parts, might be just me but i had some trouble making out what you were saying at a few points. Otherwise, i enjoyed the very much, as usual. :)

[@fatherofdragons5477]

Fun fact: The mjölner of the viggen is named after thors hammer. And the viggen is named after the word vigg which is a lightning. So it's a lightning throwing hammers instead of the normal way (Thor creating lightning with his hammer).
