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.

The nosewheel steering in the F16 is pretty strong I usually turn off NWS before takeoff so I can be more aggressive with my rudder. I had a lot of trouble taking off until I started doing this and it's something I recommend trying if you find you're making rudder adjustments that are too much.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Ya I think 170 knots you’re good to turn it off if you like

[@MaciejRM]

​@@GrowlingSidewinder if you only want to look up by radar, its necessary to change antena elevation or its enougt to point nose of plane up?

[@cardriverxxx]

​@@MaciejRM the radar dish does not follow the nose of the plane, you need to bind it.

[@Skyplays]

@@MaciejRM The radar dish as Steve said does not follow your pitch angle, it will look at the same altitude it is set at, you need to elevate it up and down. There's a mode in the radar that does something similar to what you said, it's the BORE mode in ACM mode, it can also follow your helmet not only the nose of the aircraft. It's all probably covered in the Radar Tutorial video.

Finally tried to get into DCS with this video. Didn't shoot anyone down on my first time up, but I am happy to report that I was able to successfully able to defend 2 missiles before getting killed, so ill take that as a win. Great video, got in the air so much easier than I thought I would.

It's ok if you remember at all how to start the F-16. You can search videos that explain the most important things on a Viper's cockpit and how to start it up. The only things you need to remember are the tactics and what to do once in the air. Good luck!

[@AshBhang2010]

I think GS the most intimidating aspect for me with DCS has been trying to set up Keys. There is so many with so many options . . As a learner its hard to know where to start as far as intial button selections on set up. Many thanks for your encouraging video .

You absolutely (over time) need to do a series of similar (basic) tutorials for each of the aircraft available in DCS - especially the most widely used. It may well become the 'go to' series for beginners in DCS. I aim to build myself a dedicated simulator someday, and this will be an invaluable start to the learning curve. Keep up the fantastic work. 😊

fantastic video, you have a real knack for simplifying things enough, but not to much. cheers

Thanks for the tutorial GS. Yeah for the systems, I definitely would agree that as long as the binds are mapped and you know how to work the radar, datalink, it all just flows together. Definitely seems pretty straight forward and logical for sure.

[@Yonada]

I already bought the F16 a fair time ago, but it has always felt so daunting. I've run through the ingame tutorials and all, but it's so much information and sometimes some of it didn't even work. But I will try this mission after having seen this video. Might watch this video multiple times. Thank you GS!

[@JBSmoke1]

Thanks, GS! DCS gives me all the immersion I can handle and I love it! I have found that the most time consuming and frustrating part for a beginner in DCS is binding all of the controls you need. It takes time and can get daunting. Do it well, and that binding work pays off with lots of fun flying. DCS is definitely not an instant action arcade level game.

[@Grabacr]

Thank you for doing this! Would like to see more videos of this format. It's quite helpful for newcomers. AH-64 would be my suggestion.

[@jackson4736]

I really like the tutorials and informational vids like this. Keep it up man

[@StoopidBishop]

I liked this video very much. It would be nice is talented people like you put together a Flight Training School series of videos. One of the things that gets me stuck is what to bind and what not to bind. For example; a lot of stuff that can be done on the ground before flight can mostly be done on the keyboard. I'd like to hear your thoughts on the best binding pairings for newbies. Also, more "Get her up in the air" videos like this one for different models would be nice as well. Also, I like your idea of the training missions, a simple version and a more complex version are great. Start out basic, then level up in the next version. I suppose for training purposes you could use the TF-51 or the Su-25 (as DCS will likely have the last flyable models of this aircraft after about another year- jk). I have been a long time viewer/subscriber of your YT channel and really appreciate your work and admire your skills. BTW, your Felon Vs Mustang vid was hilarious... "Ouch! My tail!" as it goes drifting past your canopy. Anyway, I hope you read these comments and take to heart my request. If so, maybe I'll meet you in the air sometime in a Master vs Amateur battle.

[@Krecikdwamiljony]

I don't think I will ever play DCS myself because of all the hardware I would have to get, I'll settle for watching the videos, but it's still very nice to have an explanation on what's going on and how everything works. For example, I kind of figured out some of the numbers on the HUD (e.g. altitude, mach speed, knots speed) but it's nice to have those laid out explicitly. Or a good look down on all the switches because normally why would you look at them and explain while you're dealing with much more urgent matters.

[@Tracked350Z]

Thank you for showing this. If possible, another video on explaining how to setup the missions would be fantastic as well. I am able to place the aircraft, but don't know how to make them do what I want them to do.

Thank you so much. I did it! Flew for the first time, shot down a Mig29 and even landed on my first attempt, though, not very gracefully cause I had no idea how to extend flaps so I came in a bit rough and I think I damaged the right rear landing gear. But I got back to the ground alive despite the strong crosswind. I'll take that as a win 😂😂

Ah the Viper, the gateway drug to DCS. Thanks for giving some insight to how to get the F-16 working for you in combat. I think the Viper is one of the best modules, that can’t land on a carrier and maybe that is its only limitation. I started with the F/A-18 as I am sure many did. But I did move to the Viper and it is still my go to for modern combat scenarios. GS, thanks for you do and for all the great videos.

I've been messing around with this mission and some of the F-16 training stuff in the game. I also downloaded and the Chuck's Guide PDF for the F-16. I've only tried the easier version of this so far, but so far the enemy MiG hasn't been the threat. The real nemesis has been such things as Crosswinds on takeoff and landing. Finding the airfield (took me a minute the first time) Most importantly - trying to land. Let's just say landing has not gone well... I think I've gotten slightly better at it, but it doesn't say much when my version of better is basically, "Hey guys, check it out... I still crashed on the runway, but not as bad as I did last time. This time, I only folded the main gear up completely. Last time I flipped completely over and broke off both wings."
