Hornet tutorials were a big help for someone like me just getting into DCS. I'm sure these F-15E tutorials will no doubt be the same. Much appreciated. Cheers Cap👍

1:21 I would imagine V here is the Roman Numeral for 5.

thx

[@jayyy254]

its great to see you doing some tutorials again you guys got me into DCS

[@Davros-vi4qg]

Long range Boom, Blam, Bosh and Biff! And there’s still the AIM9s to name.

[@jack_sugg_agriphotography]

I so hope that the AIM-9X and AIM-120D/D1 missile get integrated into the F-15E plus any other international liveries such as the Singapore, Sourh Korean and Saudi Arabian F-15SG/K/S/SA

[@92HazelMocha]

AFAIK no plans for the aim120D for DCS, aim9x is coming to the F15E when they finish JHMCS and for liveries you can bet someone will make F15SG/K/etc for the aircraft even if RB doesn't.

[@overlordgaming752]

AIM120D if it ever comes will be years from now, but for now dont count on an offical 120D. Id expect an F-15EX mod in 2-4 years time with the 120D

[@Queue-fs4er]

AIM 120Ds? Holy shit do you think so? These Missiles are crazy OP

[@Spartan536]

@@overlordgaming752 I think an AIM-120C7 is likely though since its all been moved on to the C8, D, and D3

[@hanswolfgangmercer]

It would be very interesting to see the SE with 9xs and HMD. Might even be viable at the merge with those.

Grim Reaper tutorials FTW! Thank you.

"I assume you know how to use the radar" on a radar tutorial vid. Very helpful thanks.

[@lefterisrizos4239]

Theres another radar tutorial that only focuses on the radar. Here Caps only showing us the weapons aspect and symbology of the radar. This isnt a radar tutorial vid. This is -kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2LVmHxtbrSHfdU&ab_channel=GrimReapers

[@sevensinplays]

My problem is the GSW, pascal, and others always provides the binds and a simple explanation of the controls. I like GR but I never suggest him to new players as he is hard to follow and often goes back and forth. I like his vids but I want a full SHORT explanation.

How did you Auto lock the 8 selected enemy?

[@Cauldronb0rn]

at 7:42 what what used to go from auto lock already being on to initiating locks onto everything?

[@LachyEngel-ro4vb]

First person to watch this keep it up

[@mariusleitzgen1940]

WHEN COMES THE STRIKE EAGLE?! .o Cant wait

[@cobrac4t34]

Regarding radar, there is a weight on wheels interlock. Even when set to on the radar can't activate until the jet has taken off, even if set to EMERG. Beyond the fact that its a game! lolz. Idiots getting upset over nothing, even if it was real life it wouldn't matter given the WoW interlock. Great tutorial as always , thanx!

is TWS added now? or we need to wait 2 + years like in the Hornet? Im so happy that so many things in F-15E are added from day one...

[@ianboys1000]

Good video but I missed one thing - in TWS, how did you do the autolock of all 8 please?

[@michaeldenney2444]

Yep would like to know that too!

[@ianboys1000]

@@michaeldenney2444 haven't tried but last night I was told it's auto acquisition forward, don't know if long or short

It does it automatically as long as AUTO is selected.

[@chrisohh5612]

I've been at this for 30 minutes trying to lock more than 1 target with TWS and no matter what I do only 1 locks. I've been hunting through this and the other video. Coolie up does nothing. I'll just give up for the day and try again tomorrow...

I wonder if ED will ever add the AIM 120 D

[@jmtpolitico80]

I think we are all ready to see her in ACTION! BOOM BOOM! I totally get what you are doing, learning the aircraft and also making a video of how to use it. But I am EXTREMELY EXCITED to see how She Really Performs in ACTION! It is my favorite plane in the World, and I live about 1.5 miles from the end of the runway they usually use to take off and land so it is a Airshow a few times a week. And recently Massachusetts and the Pentagon have agreed on replacing the 18-24 F-15 C&D's at Barnes Air National Guard Base with 18 x F-35A Lightening ll fighter jet's. And I was rather hoping that they would just update the C & D Models with the EX Model. There is already a ANG base not as much as 100 to the North that Stations F-35's. Actually you did a Video of a Attack on the East Coast of U.S. actual Target was Boston and the Russians were the invaders. Well they got clobbered the Russians, so I am just trying to try to Understand they're Thinking! Which will probably never happen, who can figure out Politicians other than they Lie A lot! Also I don't know if there is a way to respond back to me about this b ut I had a question you may know about the F-15 EX. From what I have learned the EX was supposed to be built with the same kinda Communication Tech as the F-35 where it could talk to all different variety's of other Asset's. Like it being able to com, with other air asset's, Naval, Ground, Space asset's also.

How do I change between sparrows and amrams

[@Queue-fs4er]

Can somone tell me what the right buttons are to flip into TWS? What GR explains here is just false.

[@Mrflowk]

It's V because is close to the C on the keyboard. I suspect a typo...

[@branraisin684]

my wso can lock up eneemies but i cant fire aim120's to his track any idea why??

[@skiboi]

Is there a way to cycle between amraams?

[@Arashenstein]

Hey I have a serious question, when I select Auto Acquistion my radar range always locks on "10" instead of 40 or 80, I cannot do what you do in this tutorial :(

[@Darthybuddy]

Most auto-acquisition modes are limited to a 10 mile scan range. If you hold auto-acquisition switch forward for more than a second, you will be put into Long Range Bore Sight mode. This is the only auto-acquisition mode that can lock things beyond 10 miles and it can operate out to 40 miles. But, at ranges beyond 20 miles, it is almost always better to just use RWS or TWS to find and lock your target. For that I suggest you view a BVR radar tutorial.

[@pd28cat]

Is there no lock in RWS like in the Viper? Do I have to choose between TWS and alerting their RWR?

[@grimreapers]

Correct. Welcome To F-15E...

[@rcl99tlr65]

Are the enemy targets square or triangle? Please help

[@lefterisrizos4239]

So a triangle enemy target is an enemy thats either moving towards or away from you (hot or cold). This is dependent on the direction of the top most or bottom most point of the triangle. A square enemy target is a target that does not match the radar parameters to be considered be moving away or towards you. That can mean they are too slow, moving sideways or very low and very slow. Friendlies are designated by circles.

[@rcl99tlr65]

@@lefterisrizos4239 thank you I appreciate it...I found the manual online

[@tronderiksen6275]

Would it be possible to shoot down the russian R-37 missile with western AA/AD?

[@92HazelMocha]

Yes if they have an EO sensor, I've accidentally shot down aim120's in an Su27 before.

[@DerMoosfrau]

I thought the F15 has two seats. Why does noone do a video about the RIO?

[@PressurePlayerStudio]

everything the rio does, the pilot can do from the front

[@92HazelMocha]

In the F15E it's the WSO and it has the same controls. Unlike with RIO's, the workload is only divided as the crew prefers; both seats can work all of the sensors and systems and even fly the jet.

[@silenterection]

These should really be on the 2nd channel

[@DaWu]

You are Remington not Winchester. Winchester is no weapons including empty gun. Remington is no weapons except gun. I don’t understand why the whole fighter community does this wrong

[@Darthybuddy]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiservice_tactical_brevity_code#W Remington does not appear in this list while Winchester does. Winchester is described as: "No ordnance remaining, can be used to refer to specific types ordnance or all ordnance." To be clear this is only a list of US MIlitary, Multiservice Brevity codes. So it is entirely possible that there are other codes out there which use Remington. But the first list that comes up when you google "Brevity codes" does not include Remington. As such, that is the one that most people will be using.

Coolie Up Short will cycle targets

[@Ginuwine-kx2iv]

@@135boomerkgyeah was wondering that too? So is it not really auto lock but cycling priority targets and firing?

[@135boomerkg]

@@Ginuwine-kx2iv yes that’s pretty much what’s going on as far as cycling the priority (and locking on)

[@corvetterules427]

wondering this too- seems to be related to AUTO being boxed at the bottom right but I have been unable to get it to work myself.

[@Darthybuddy]

If in the radar is in TWS mode and AUTO boxed in the bottom right, the radar will automatically lock the 10 highest priority targets it sees when you lock someone up with TDC depress. In RWS mode, this functionality is not available as you can only STT lock one target at a time.
