[@Aeronaut1975]

Invaluable. Cheers, Tim!

[@JohnLygo]

+I don't get why you put the air brakes out & then add power. Perhaps you'd care to explain, Tim.

[@FastJetPerformance]

Sorry, yes - just to burn fuel on the way back in by having a higher power setting to get down to a better landing weight.

[@British_Dragon-4K-Simulations]

@@FastJetPerformance I'll need to remember that one! Thanks for the tip!

[@gt-av8r]

Hi Tim, DCS looks great, what would be the best kit for complete rookie to start off with... as i dont own any peripherals, just a low end PC, however, im interested in getting into the sim world, so what would you recommend Regards GT

[@FastJetPerformance]

Have a look at the Thrustmaster 16000M joystick and throttle, that's good starter kit and check the recommended PC specs on the DCS website.

[@jimmyjames3136]

Greetings from Scotland Tim.new to your channel and im hooked in. what a breath of fresh air. thank you for the work you put in and a mega thank you for keeping the skies safe over our wee beautiful and weird dark island. Just a thought ...... if you took your skills and knowledge into the schemes , housing estates and to the less well off areas and somehow could show what being a pilot is all about like u do in this vid, oor young males AYE ,MALES, females r welcome but not encouraged , would maybe stop stabbing each other and finally wake up from being woke. have zero ideas on the how to implement all that btw thats a whole other Joint ill need to smoke and think about it lol. im a dreamer man... but im not the only one. X

[@Lionheart1157]

"There's no shortcut to excellence!" Brilliant. So much instruction in one 23 minute video. Very very good. And Tim, 100% WATCHED!!

[@Medge2sc]

Nice video Tim, cool to see you doing your thing

[@Jack-bp3ns]

Have you ever passed out from G's while flying?

[@FastJetPerformance]

Negative, the result is normally terminal if you do.

[@paulybassman7311]

It's a shame we can't fly the Hawk out of Valley. But still cool. Thanks TD. FJP Rules OK 🇬🇧

[@youraveragejoe9298]

Dont forget about the free T-45 Goshawk mod! Its just a naval hawk. Comes with T2 livery.

[@abdulmismail]

This is fantastic, Tim. I had to take a hiatus from real life flying lessons. Just ran out of funds due to back-to-back overseas business trips. But, hoping to secure a major contract soon so hopefully, before Spring 2024, I'll sign up for Shadowlands because I'd love to learn how to operate simulated combat aircraft professionally.

[@FastJetPerformance]

Come flying with us Adbul, real flying is too expensive at the moment.

[@abdulmismail]

@@FastJetPerformance Will do. Tim. I just need to get my VR headset to work. It seems to be connected to my webcam which also stopped working after a software update.

[@markzzzz741]

Tim, great video. I tend to fly Msfs or real life, but DCS has to be looked closer into. One element I would be interested in is the typical radio calls and where in the phase of flight you would use them in a UK air station based flight. Keep up the good work.

[@sharkstergames]

I can see Jesus approving of this internet video, so I would say you are safe Tim, maybe need to throw in a few more 'erect' words just to firm it up a bit (excuse the pun)....great vid

[@markphaneuf31]

Really find the cockpit videos extremely helpful as I am still learning the controls/gauges etc. and how you continually check and adjust. I have to look up some of the aviation terms and gauges constantly as I am trying to become more proficient. My goal is to not just "wing it".

[@thebritishbookworm2649]

Love you energy sir. Thanks for your service. You did what was my childhood dream for years but life wasn't favorable for the persuit. But love listening to you Sir. Thanks for keeping it real. Fantastic video. Could listen to you all day explain flying ❤

[@BikingWithCraig]

Wow, such an interesting video. I’m looking at building a small setup to learn DCS - sure I will be delving deeper into your resources! Thank you 🙏

[@marcosavila8215]

im inscribing my self in your school program, im ok at the F14 and F16 but the f18 is a plane that i have for years but i never used ir seriously meaning i need obviously instruction to use the systems properly and be a ready for combat pilot in this plane, you do teach the F18 right? take care Tim, much love and happiness in your life and in your choices,

[@ziepex7009]

Great video Tim, wouldnt mind some more DCS 😃 And you arent wrong about that attention span comment 😆

[@davidmuir6849]

Fantastic Tim I’ve been away for a wee while but I’m looking to return to Shadow lands . Regards Dave aka moonwalker from Scotland

My terrible flying has to stay in Warthunder. Great Vid!

[@atrippers1]

Thanks for the excellent video Tim. I wonder if you could do one demonstrating how to use of the alpha indicator and what it all means?

[@mikestreet3592]

Thank you for your service and the channel listening to you reminds me of my time in the Army I think its the positive tone and no nonsense attitude take stay safe.

[@alexshmalex]

This vid is a great ad for your school - hoping to give it a go when I can make enough consistent time between work and kids. Like another guy mentioned, I have some real-life hours too and had hoped to complete a PPL last year but economic downturn has really tightened the screws on non-essential pastimes. In the meantime these bite-size DCS lessons are really handy, thanks for posting. The montage was magnificent btw 😆

[@FastJetPerformance]

EPIC MONTAGE, lol!

[@MrWhiteladder61]

Great Video Tim, I'm really trying to improve my Sim flying in terms of flying accurate speeds and trying to get my times at waypoints to be close to my flight plan. I have a simple mission setup for an airfield attack where I'm try to time my rolling for 30 seconds after 2 AI aircraft do a run across the field hitting an AAA emplacement. I would love to see a video about flight planning ( especially fuel planning) and some tips about hitting a specific ToT. Regards Mark

[@FastJetPerformance]

I got you brother Mark, let me sort this request for you 👍

[@incargeek]

Happy New Year, FJP and FAM! Three greens!

[@paulmorgan6269]

Tim you deserve a huge following. Well done.

[@JD-xh3ex]

Fantastic video Tim.

[@Novacngood185]

Fantastic Tim. Anyone, mostly anyone can fly and land a jet in DCS. BUT. To do it properly, by the numbers... Mental maths is not my strong point. Fallen at the first hurdle.

[@FastJetPerformance]

Sorry I messed the maths up first time, lol - I left it in because, when I was flying in the RAF, sometimes we messed up the maths - gotta keep it real!

[@marcosavila8215]

you are the real deal.

[@CommanderSteinsch]

Loved the montage. I might steal the concept! 😂😁

[@FastJetPerformance]

I went a bit crazy lol, will look forward to your version!

[@newage3]

TD = Lad Lad Lad.

[@YTB952]

I love flight sims but if it’s got more than five buttons ….its game over
