On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

I would really like to see you run some intercept/defensive missions with the F-35.

[@JohnAbrahamsen]

So does the FSB. So no one can accurately simulate that plane atm.

[@Tdonn25]

Just seems kind of pointless since the avionics and flight model is just a big guess

[@bobbythomas6520]

Well to be fair the F-35 would never be the jet called as an interceptor, it’s literally third in line to the F-22, then the F16, then the F-15, honestly then sometimes the F18 then the F35. It’s also not a dogfighting aircraft, so I hope you prefer BVR because the F35 gets dominated in the merge

[@gingerlicious3500]

​​​@@bobbythomas6520 Not even close to true. First of all, an F-35 with internal weapons has comparable agility to a slick F-16. Second, the F-35 has HOBS, so it doesn't even need to get nose-on to a bandit to shoot it down. And third (and most importantly) modern air combat is almost entirely dominated by BVR anyway. And you'd need to find the F-35 to force the merge. Good luck with doing that before it starts shoving Fox-3s down your throat.

@@everydaycarrycanada951 Billy Bishop was in his 20's when he made all his kills, it's a bit too late for me to emulate him. Incidentally, does DCS work on Linux ? I used to play Eve Online but had to give it up after they'd broken it with untested updates too many times.

[@R3XT998]

"DCS World can run on linux through Wine and Proton, though it does take some work to get running." from google so it should be alright to run on linux, as a dcs player who mains the F15 tho I would recommend getting a HOTAS or even just the logictec x3d stick thats kinda all you need@@arkadyarkright1328

[@seanarcher4004]

I really enjoyed this video! Your wingman was handing out AMRAAMs like cookies. Big explosive cookies.

[@magnanimus9692]

The best kind of cookies!

[@SGTJackMorgan]

These videos are incredible for newer DCS pilots. Nice and easy to digest bits of information, with simple instructions provided by you in addition to the text at the bottom of the screen, make this sort of stuff a boon for attracting more people to the community. On a personal note, the F-15C is just a joy to fly, even compared to the other FC3 planes, I still love rolling out in mine and giving redfor plenty of explosive gifts to the face.

[@DaysOfFlightSim351]

Nice! You should do these types of videos more! I'm puzzled whenever I'm in DCS, so this is a huge help!

[@martin1377]

I agree, just started with DCS and it hard to find a decent help video that is not 12 years old :D

Can you imagine the carnage and rounds raining from the sky in those massive WWII air battles over Europe. All those B17 50bmg rounds need to fall somewhere…

_DAAaaaamm,_ GS, I do believe this may be your most beautiful cinematic video yet. Those opening scenes where the Eagle is taxi-ing and taking off were straightup elegant! The colors are breathtaking; the various hues of early morning (or was it late 3vening just before twilight? 🤣) with the sunlight painting the walls of buildings on the surface, the deadly beauty of the F-15 in her element....everything was just freakin _gorgeous!_ You should do the cinematography for the next Top Gun movie, man you're a natural! I don't know how you managed to kick up your content creation while also giving the video quality a dose of steroids (🤟🤣), but you have done it. Not, of course, that your video quality sucked before; it most assuredly did not. But this is some next level shit, and I for one am letting you know that we appreciate your hard work out here! Question: Are you doing these new videos using the recently implemented multithreading feature? Beeee- _CAAaause,_ the clarity of detail is incredible. Whatever you're doing, keep it up, because I'm loving this and so is everyone else! 🤟🤟🤜💥🤛⚡💯/💯

I think a cool video Idea would be you in an F35 going for a bombing run with 2 SU-57 in the area and as you get close they try to intercept so you have to take them out complete the bombing run then a flight of 4 bandits intercept as you leave the area. You have to take them out then return home
