DCS World Multiplayer: Su-27 Flanker Mach 2 Russian high speed flying HUD tutorial guide. w Aaron

>>> What's the fastest you have ever flown in DCS.. and in which plane?

[@jetfighter200]

J-11 Mach 1.5 diving from 10000 meters to the deck to defend an incoming Phoenix

[@kickZtailout]

1.88 in the Hornet no less. That was RTB to Beslan after a mission, tanks jettisoned, Winchester all ordnance, and less than 2000 lbs of fuel. I climbed up to 47000 ft, then cashed it in with a shallow dive. I was able to maintain 1.8 for a good 3 minutes, which was good because I had someone lobbing Fox 1s at my tail. 😁

2.3 in the mighty tomcat!

@@Hustler9g ill race ya! f14a right :D

[@plazma1945]

@@kickZtailout not too shabby. at 47 thats pretty quick .. wonder if you were in super thin air so it didnt speed up quick nuff

[@rsaaron]

Had a lot of fun flying that sortie with you. Learned a lot as well. keep up the good content!

[@plazma1945]

Thanks for joining! ❤️ Always a pleasure to see you online and kicking butt!

[@zer0sum773]

Thanks! you always get me in the mood to "fly"

[@plazma1945]

Thank you!!! next time you are flying with stinger12 we should do a 3 or 4 ship high speed sweep of the GS all together!

[@zer0sum773]

@@plazma1945 Ah yes, sempai Stinger is a true vip! Let`s go!

[@kickZtailout]

I don’t know if you fly with RS Cypher, but I had several good merges with him today.

[@kickZtailout]

And of course you do, same squadron haha! After seeing you in there last night I finally noticed the RS

[@plazma1945]

@@kickZtailout yup Cypher is one of our rockstars.. we had a couple of good sorties into the mountains near beslan yesterday!

[@potato.huang.226]

Thank very much. This videos is so helpful. I shot two aircraft down after I watch this video.

[@plazma1945]

Very nice glad to hear it's working

[@kickZtailout]

Another great video Plaz, keep em coming!

[[[Indicated Air Speed and True Airspeed]]] As a rule, when flight altitude decreases, the air density increases. The denser atmosphere contributes to a greater lift force, but the drag component increases as well. The thinner air at high altitudes reduces aircraft lift, but drag will decrease. This contributes to higher airspeeds at high altitude. An aircraft traveling at 700 km per hour possesses different flight characteristics when flying at 1,000 km per hour. The actual speed at which aircraft flies through the air mass is called the true air speed (TAS). TAS automatically compensates for air pressure and density. Related to TAS, Ground Speed (GS) is the aircraft's actual speed across the earth. It equals the TAS plus or minus the wind factor. Most modern aircraft have airspeed indicators that take into account air density and humidity changes at different altitudes. When these changes are not taken into account, the aircraft velocity is called Indicated Air Speed (IAS). For the pilot, the IAS is the basis for defining maneuvering capabilities of an aircraft; it is usually displayed on the HUD and dash.

[@MichaelMcATX]

SU-27 airspeed units are km/h. Hud is IAS (indicated air speed), not ground.

[@plazma1945]

thats absolutely correct i will add it to the comments.. TAS / Ground speed vs IAS on hud.

[@ser43_OLDC]

one question why we cant see the likes and the dislikes of your videos? i really like your videos

[@plazma1945]

it was some sort of a youtube setting thanks for showing it to me! i thought it was just my admin view that wasnt showing it! i just enabled it thanks again!!!!!!!!

[@dampsok]

I wonder why they don't give us external fuel tanks for this jet?

[@plazma1945]

Good ppoint I should. Make a video on it

[@dampsok]

@@plazma1945 OMG! That would be amazing! maybe it would be noticed by people who can do something about it!

[@plazma1945]

wellllll....it never went into production.. so.. its a COOL to know kinda video ;)

[@dampsok]

@@plazma1945 I thought I saw the Humpback variant with conformal tanks... While you are at it maybe you can explain why the Su-33 doesn't have access to the Kh-31, or the Kh-41 like they do in Flanker 2.5.

[@ismaelsierra3757]

Your plane is now traumatized due to Mach 2

[@plazma1945]

Never ever it even landed

[@andreparadis6076]

This posted 1 year ago and you to this day can't land without breaking something ? 🤣

[@plazma1945]

Yeah it’s a hard life

[@delecmad]

"Pretty nice landing" proceeds to explode a tire on the landing 😂. You'd probably have been better off going for an initial. You had 200L would've been plenty for that. That way you would've been able to land it buttery smooth as it'd negate your uncomfortable approach.

[@plazma1945]

Heehe yeah im a pro at busting tires. One interesting thing that I observed it seems that if you take off a and damage the tire by the time you come back if the tire hadn't popped yet it will pop faster because the damage is remembered during the flight. But yeah I should have taken it easier

[@delecmad]

@@plazma1945 it's pretty much: if you land/take off with IAS > ~300-350 you'll pop the tires. This instance you were just too fast. For the most part it can take heavy landings if they're slow

[@ethanb7388]

Pretty rough landing there at the end.

[@plazma1945]

With no fuel yup. Made it!!
