[@gho3tsoldier1]

"PRESS AND HOLD"weapon release button..thats why I could not shoot my missiles.I was just pressing it.little details like that saved me hours of going to other people who dont go into detail like you,nice work Sir.. as usual..

Wait what about weapon fire?

[@owensks]

@@Randomcatontheinternet you have to hold down for the missile to fire

[@goosoptures8123]

@@owensks hold down what?

[@GianlucaTorre]

Was rewatching this and i got why at 20:15 you couldn't hit the target. Near the right of the gun reticle there is a tiny little dot that indicates the range necessary for a proper hit , and when the winding clock past it means you are in range.

[@whatsup448]

Now with this tutorial I can shoot down some laser firing, border erasing enemy.

[@Hy93Ri0n]

Pixy did nothing wrong

[@Phos9]

That’s what V2 was for.

[@masonleslie3039]

Nice touch... the Ace combat 4 F-15 skin👌

[@papacipher6881]

I thought it was Ace Combat Zero

[@Hy93Ri0n]

Papa Cipher Cipher's skin is INCREDIBLY similar to the Isaf skin, you can tell the difference by the Airforce insignia. Cipher's has the Ustian Air Force insignia, ISAF has its own

[@TheRibbonRed]

@@papacipher6881 it originated from an AC04 ace/named--you can see the ISAF markings, which is the version used by Mobius 1--but then repurposed as ACZ's Cipher. Notice that the nose cone has a blue marking, and the ailerons+rudders are not completely painted in blue. This exact paint also made a comeback in AC7.

[@masonleslie3039]

TheRibbonRed and people still think it’s from ace combat zero

[@nuclearTANK]

It's Ace Combat Zero Demon Lord

Since I have started playing DCS In the past 2 months your channel has helped me so much I am currently working on the F15C And these tutorials are the best you can get. So much detail and the fact you show the controls has helped me so much. Thanks bud. Keep up the brilliant work!

[@owlbusdumbledork9966]

Also, I prefer to use the gun in vertical acquisition mode, you you can get your lock for your gun solution without having them in the HUD. I think that's the superior method for using your gun.

[@MrFlocontrol]

Thanks for the tutorial video's. Being new to DCS. Finally decided to get a good starter plane. Keep up the great informative video's

[@facethefrontier]

Awesome video! I've been playing DCS for about 5 years now so I'm not a newbie, but I'm trying to teach a buddy of mine in the F-15 so this is awesome! Thanks a lot Cap!

[@jacques8971]

I like the way you have simplified the radar and weapons tutorials. Without going into a lot of complicated detail, it’s a great job. The only thing about the gun and the gunsight. Particularly using the pippper as the the “aim dot”. Just because the pipper is on the target at the moment of trigger press, the HUD is not telling you that the rounds will hit the target. You have to track the target with the pipper so that it is stable on the target - not moving through it - before it provides a real firing solution. With the F-15 system, when you squeeze the trigger, the gunsight will generate a small triangle which indicates where the system is computing that the rounds will be at the range. It’s called a RATR (rounds at target range). It’s used purely as a way of assessing whether the rounds you are firing are now are predicted to impact the target. You cannot use it for gun aiming. So. Main point here is to smoothly track the target and fire with the pipper stabilised on the target - ideally just behind the cockpit for the best probability of kill.

I love the added sound effects cap.

[@Starring.Alex.Tasiar]

I have a question how do you like select whst types of missiles you want to use not the D button you were like choosing what to use i would like to know how

[@terryboyer1342]

I sure hope you're diligent in your recycling. That was a lot of aluminum to waste.

[@ktwei]

Can you fire a missle below R min and try to smash the guy out of the sky with kinetic energy?

[@IAnolastname]

Just use the gun.

[@MILSIM530]

WHO thumbs down this tutorial?? this was as clear as day basically it was idiot proof but there is always two guys LMAO

[@KentJ]

I keep on getting locks on targets but the missiles won’t release. What am I doing wrong?

[@america8706]

I rwally appreciate that the cannon on this aircraft is basically just a shotgun that is continuously firing haha. I messed around with it a few days ago and it has a ridiculous amount of ammo.

[@isaacjamestea9652]

Great tutorial. Feel like I can jump in a real F-15 now for some ACM.

[@adrianoscimone]

thanks for thats tutorials guys, i jump in dcs since long time and all this stuff are really usefull !!

[@sschreck]

YO! Thank you for your videos! I just downloaded the F15C module from Steam for $15.00 and it doesn't come with ANY instructions like the $80 A-10C module does. Your videos really make a difference even though I haven't tried to fly in the F15C yet. I downloaded the F-15C specifically so I could download the Grinnelli F-22A Mod. I have yet to learn both.

[@nelspotts5311]

REally informative stuff. What's the best mission setup to practice these elements? How was this mission setup?

[@Metaphix]

thanks a lot for this, new to the game and just got FC3 and this helps a lot with the different modes

[@EagleFulcrum1]

Cap, i have a question: when you fire an AIM-7 in FLOOD mode, does the enemy receive a missile launch warning on his RWR? Is something which i don't understand yet

[@grimreapers]

We have tested it and the guy did not get a warning. We are not sure why not?

[@EagleFulcrum1]

My doubt was: it’s not a Fox 3 missile with a own radar. And Flood mode does not require a lock with the radar ( i think is a passive mode at this point). But at the same time a missile is coming to the aircraft, and is a Fox 1 missile. Usually, Fox 1 missiles need a strong lock. But however, if you have tested it and there are no warnings, you have answered me 😉

[@lightbenderga2017]

@@grimreapers And I'm assuming that using the AIM-9 Sidewinder with the radar gives the bandit an RWR ping as well?

noob here, but just watched the mig-29/su-27 ACM tutorial and this one and for me it seems that the russians have the edge here, am i right or just noob comment?

[@mr.squidward9936]

How do I get the darn thing to fire? I pull the trigger, push the buttons, nothing happens. How do I enable use of weapons?

How did u get the plane to move the way you did when u were moving to get behind the second plane when you were showing guns demo?

[@hamieh1]

thanks for posting . your are the BEST .

[@kiubekpl5863]

Could you please share this traning missons?

[@aim120C]

one thing i would have liked to know is what type of mode gives the target a lock or missile warning.

[@cineva-wb1pk]

IR ( fox 2) doesn't give a RWR warning, and i think TWS doesn't give one. Outside of that, any radar lock gives a RWR warning

[@DoveEnigma13]

Good stuff. I need this

[@casperveneman1151]

... the arming screen is not 100% symmetrical... pylon 5 and 4 are reversed so 5 is in front and 4 is in back.... for the people that want a symmetrical loadout

Yo this actually helps to much. Idk if you will see this but just a quick question. Do compact keyboards limit your controls on the aircraft? Im using a 60% keyboard and im not sure if i have all the keybinds needed.

[@Mulberry2000]

Your videos are helping me immensely. I shot down S27 flanker in gunsight mode unslaved. I had the dot icon, but it's blue just like the sky I could not use it, so I just followed his controls and he loved to the deck. I am in VR and it helps a lot to keep track of him. Still, planes are very hard to find even in VR. Any tips for that problem or is it down to lack of experience?

[@grimreapers]

Well done. It'll take you a year before your SA grows enough to be able to find planes properly, just keep pushing yourself.

[@SingleTracker]

Sorry but why when I hold the weapon fire button it fires the cannons ? btw there is no weapons release button in the newer DCS versions
