F-15C Eagle: HUD Modes & Symbology | DCS WORLD

[@activace]

Hey man, that was such a great tutorial video. As an Ace Combat player, I have to say...it's a lot to take in. But this definitely helps me boost my confidence in learning the game more. Will be coming back to the F-15C playlist tutorials. Great moves, keep it up!

Hey ace combat fans let's smash that like button XD

@Legend Krew @Ruben Niko You guys know nobody is going to fall for your bot shit right?

[@desertrat7756]

Just started flying in DCS. Been learning from your F-15C tutorials. Its a lot to take in right now, but with time and practice, I'm sure it will pay off. Thank you for having created these tutorials and keeping them up on your page.

[@wetbread2906]

did it pay off?

[@relicgamer731]

The way I understand why "UNITS" are used vs degree is that UNITS are corrected vs DEGREES are raw data. You can't convert directly as they vary between aircraft due to things likes wing shape/profile, surface area and such They are a unit used for AoA so that a pilot is always aware of the stall angle for the aircraft. This stall angle varies on a lot of different parameters and are affected by dynamic parameters - such as IAS, CoG, Weight, Altitude, load out etc... by maintaining a consistent stall angle that's one less think a pilot doesn't have to calculate and reduces the information overhead.

Reapers! You guys are legends. Thanks for all the videos! I would never have enjoyed DCS if it wasn't for you guys. I bow to my sensei!

I see a lot of confusion about AOA. It is measure in degrees. The confusion lies in people thinking its degrees from horizon which it is not. This measurement is degrees from velocity vector. For example while landing with an AOA of 22, your aircraft might be pitched up 15 degrees above horizon which would mean that your velocity vector is 7 degrees below the horizon etc... To see this on the hud, measure your aircraft datum long. axis to your velocity vector... as your AOA increases, the distance between these two points is exactly relative to that many degrees apart.

[@Zombiesmoker]

Really thankful for all your help! Really mean it 💯

In my experience the bank angle nav. line point's you to back to the closest point on the path between two waypoints, so it might not always point you directly to the waypoint. Which could be useful if your waypoint are layed out to avoid a SAM net but most of the time it's directions are kinda dumb.

Thanks for these tutorials cap. Just getting into the game, worked through the Russian tutorials in game but the US ones are sadly lacking. As an old school F119, TFX, F22 and EF2000 gamer getting back back into things, I've found the Russian systems a bit strange to learn. Just joined up to your discord group and watching this series so hope to meet online soon.

[@fluffietron]

Hey, Cap, did you say you're not familiar with the IRIS-T missile? Might want to look it up.

[@grimreapers]

affirm

[@appa609]

I believe AoA is on a scale of 0 (no load) to 100 (stall).

[@grimreapers]

thx

[@appa609]

Grim Reapers Thanks for the tutorial! I just learned it all tonight!

[@billcar6805]

Incorrect. A standard aerofoil stalls at an AOA of between 14-20 degrees. AOA is the angle between the chord line ( a straight line that connects the leading edge and the trailing edge of an aerofoil) and the relative wind direction. This is an over simplified explaination and one i was taught as an apprentice aerospace engineer 20 years ago.

[@austinredner6800]

What’s up reaper!

[@grimreapers]

hi

[@manizaeim]

My super Cap, Thanks for the tutorial. unfortunate and unexpectedly, the HUD shows IAS, base on dcs doc and TO-1F-15C doc , I know it is damn weird and we expected CAS on the HUD !

[@carloolivier1940]

Does anyone know what the unit is of the AoA? As an aeronautical scientist I have never seen anything other than degrees or radians and why would you want it displayed in that units??

[@grimreapers]

Some one called them "milli-radians" or something similar. they do not appear to be a linear scale.

[@markmaynard6551]

From a post R.D.W. made in Grim's F-15C Tutorial - Takeoff and Landing : "The conversion for AOA to units in the eagle is AoA[Units] = 0.7728*AoA[Degrees] + 12.22. Also, an interesting note, Optimum cruise is: 12. Maximum endurance is: 14.5. "

[@Bonbon1948]

Isn't the AOA meter to the left side shows the angle in feet per min? So like 10 means 1000 FPM, 20 is 2000 FPM and so on.. Thanks for your tutorials, they're very helpful.

Hey...I just bought a f15c ...when I'm locking targets .... I'm not able to launch my missiles...only the cannon is active ... Pls help

[@grimreapers]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZfKg5qMaMmdl5I don't miss any steps. Press weapon release for 3 seconds to launch.

[@t-r-i-d-e-n-t8861]

@@grimreapers Roger that cap

[@chriswilliamson2631]

Are the units “gradians”?

[@butterfliege885]

i cant seem to lock onto a atarget

[@gingershadows6008]

How do you know your speed

[@bluefin2349]

The airspeed indicator on the left of your hud

[@Arun-f7u9l]

Hii Guys.. Did You know about the visibility of the the target in HUD and what is the Distance ,Angle ,Altitude how to calculate it ..if you know means just reply by this comment please!..

[@timby2383]

Holy crap, the HUD is so complicated on F-15. I'll stick to MiGs.

[@daggerdunce3914]

OK BUT HOW TF DO YOU TURN THE THING ON ??!!!?!

[@macmusica]

Just watched the SU-27 vs F-15C vid and then came here. Been flying the J-11A since adding FC3 on top of buying many planes separately. Still getting to grip with EO Mode and the TWS for stealthy tactics (good at chasing targets). Having seen just the NAV HUD Mode here I felt exactly how Russian Pilots feel and we know this...American HUDs are just a fucking mess!!!! I could not stop shaking my head at every part of this HUD. What a fucking joke America!!! No wonder you will be beaten. You make flying far too complex for any pilot to get into any Dogfight LOL!!! Lesson 1: Here's your EJECTION SEAT Lesson 2: Learn how to Parachute ;)
