The fact you come back and re-record these when things change is just amazing. Thanks for all your efforts Cap. This one is really useful.

[@grimreapers]

[@MarcTNL]

@@grimreapers Since ED has done a lot of work on the Hornet maybe you can do another tutorial for the HSI, but really detailed. This has so many functions that were not yet implemented at the time, but are now...

[@Darksagan]

Excellent breakdown. 80% of what Ive learned about DCS has been through your guides.

[@paulshrimplin4032]

Cap like to say you do a really good job at DCS world , helping me out a lot in this flight sim, thank you look forward to the rest of the videos. Paul

You're a legend mate, another twenty years and I might understand a bit of it!!

[@Campbell-to7vp]

Even in 2022 this offers enough information to get your first waypoints set up. Good job

[@exhaustfumes927]

The amount of knowledge you have and the amount I’m trying to retain are not the same

[@grimreapers]

Don't worry, I struggle also. A LOT

[@alonsofuegato2687]

Thank you for doing these tutorials! I did the training mission and didn't understand much which was very frustrating. It's still now, but with your Videos at least I can pause and rewind. I don't have much experience in flight sims or navigation which makes things "a bit" overwhelming. Keep up the good work!

[@johannesdolch]

I have to say, if this was 1990, i would be extremely impressed with the System. It being 2022, this feels like watching a Computer History Lesson about the Commodore PET...

[@doctorf7501]

I commend you Cap. You put a lot of work into this, clearly.

[@freefridaycoffee1308]

thanks Cap, this as helped a lot. I was going insane when my waypoint navigation was out when precise navigation landing, in fowl weather or night time

[@trottheblackdog]

These videos are solid gold, Cap.

[@luclaviolette6612]

Bit hard to follow along when you take us on a tour of all the functionality of the hsi. Good video...just a bit hard for me to follow along. Your knowledge of all the systems is very impressive! Thank you for all your work.

[@theTutenstien]

Hey just bought the f18 from the sale. Im fairly new player so these tutorials are really helpfull. Thanks

[@greighson3766]

Hey! I can help out with the hornet if you need help.

[@theTutenstien]

@@greighson3766 Hi, sure it would be really good actually I feel like my head is exploding with information xD Do you play on steam?

[@greighson3766]

@@theTutenstien I play on the ED version, but I can play with you because it's crossplay.

[@theTutenstien]

@@greighson3766 nice, my username is thetutenstien. Just add me 😄

[@Qamo0s]

Bro your tutorials are soo good I can’t understand through the actual game

[@jeremy7383]

Thanks this helps a lot!

[@eracer1111]

Ima have to watch this about five times.... :)

[@jasonaquino8232]

In the Data page of the HSI, under the ToT. I don't see my waypoints; like 1 - 2 - 3 -4. Mission editor problem? I don't know, this stuff is so complicated. But I love it. I will understand it eventually.

[@jeffreyleftovers]

Is F10 the only way to acquire lat/Lon for points on the map? It’d be nice if there was some way to TDC the map and drop a lat/Lon to scratchpad.

[@357JACK]

Thank you

[@Bl00dWolf]

THX for your aweeesoome tutorials, as always! Keep it up! =D

[@eyemack]

What are the numbers to the left of WYPT when that is selected? I guess the top one is fuel when that WP is reached, but what is the one below?

[@toastie1488]

Fab video thank you. Would it be possible to do a 2024 updated video of this please? Thanks again for all your great vids Cap🙏

[@blackmedic6302]

It's "Support" on the DDI not "Supplementary" but thanks man

[@jackreacher007]

Thanks a lot. Great stuff. My reco however would be to not speak as if your house is on fire. I'm a new player, and I feel literally bombarded with a tsunami of information when I watch your content. It's quite hard to assimilate.

[@Brooks__EU]

Thanks for the Video Cap. Why did it get revised?

[@grimreapers]

Purely because the previous was shit with some errors, no actual changes.

[@SolusArcticWolf]

Hey Grim Reapers, for the course select - can you set a distance for the course select? For example, I want to travel from bullseye to AWACS referencing where the bad guys are - I draw a course with course select, however I still want to see a marker displaying the distance? Where can I see that? - Edit: I assume you can offset the bullseye waypoint as well?

[@ZetaReticulian]

my HSI screen looks nothing like that..... i have "land" "1041" "sea" as my bottom three OSB's and thus i cant see an "auto" option, any hints?

[@dmitriyw.germann2118]

Is the UPDT really non functional? We can update INS through the WPDSG, when designate WP0 just after spawn on the tarmac. AFAIK)

[@grimreapers]

Just what is says in the manual...

[@budpeetie6879]

On 14:37, why do you have to type a Zero before the Easting?

[@grimreapers]

That is just standard N/E coord system. The E has more digits. Will be same in all planes.

[@olicz4696]

i have a question: 14:37 why do we need the extra 0 there? i know you said it in the video but i cant understand you and the subtittles are just wrong

[@Crickin4]

my brain hurts

[@ALPHARICCO875]

Super vidéo, May you help me please, with the Hornet, how can I have the Shift+F1 view with only the HUD, without the two ddi on each side? (I have 3 screens for the view and another one for the instruments), with the A-10 it’s Shift+ k when you are in Shift+ F1 view Thank you for your answer See you soon

[@cmibm6022]

One more question: Is there a way to have the F10-map on screen #2 ????

[@ALPHARICCO875]

Yes in fact I have the 2 ddi and the AMPCD on the screen with the F1 view , how to leave only the hud information Thank you very much

[@ALPHARICCO875]

Yes when I press F10 I have the map on the 3 screens

[@firozafiad9801]

Cap, how do you switch from A-A to A-G in the f-16.

[@slowhornet4802]

Buttons below the HUD... where you also find COM1 Com2 LIST At least this was how it used to be in Falcon BMS :-D you also have two override modes (MRM and dogfight). Ideally map a HOTAS control to them.

[@firozafiad9801]

Thanks.

[@slowhornet4802]

You are welcome. Forgot to mention: if you are in one of the override modes you can use a "override cancellation button" to return to previous mode. DCS allows to map it to a three-way button so you can quickly switch. To return to NAV you have to press AA again (or AG).

[@neutrino7704]

How do you manage to breathe without pausing speaking?

[@grimreapers]

Breathing is for losers, it's a complete waste of valuable time...

[@firemedicjm911]

:)

[@katelynhanson3324]

Someone buy me the Persian Gulf in case I get drafted as practice :)

[@boeing_is_best5632]

Love the video, but the jump cuts are super extreme, especially with the audio of the game always fading in and out in the background. I liked the other stly better, maybe you did it to shorten it up enough, whatever

[@hondarider100r]

How many hours do you have in dcs?

[@grimreapers]

According to my logbook 70 hours, BUT that does not include multiplyer and 99% of my time is in multiplayer.

[@hondarider100r]

@@grimreapers my steam account says I have 740 hrs lol. That's not even at a year yet. I love dcs.

[@londonmoove707]

i love your videos but man you speak so fast lol so much infos to remember at once

[@grimreapers]

change the playback to 75%

[@grimreapers]

speed

[@doraorak]

finally an aircraft where you can edit/add waypoints.. can't do that on su25t :d

[@markusnachname1619]

This may only help, if you are already experienced, and simply to lazy to figure all this stuff out your self.... not usefull for beginners... I think because I am a beginner... but... could be usefull oneday, so just now I have to figure out: Do I have to get the circle over the triangle and why in gods name would I want to lay in a course line???

[@pyroscot]

impressive dude but holy shit information overload ...

[@vishalrander9805]

Hope you don't mimic the genuine!!

[@pointiuspilot]

Could you just speak a little slower? I'm unable to hit the pause button quick enough to keep up! #dontwannaseemungreatfull

[@grimreapers]

Just run it at 0.75x speed, thats what everyone else does.

[@GlobalFLATTSman]

You do amazing work mate but this old aviator just gets confused by TMI …. perhaps you could do shorter presentations with less info and with repetition included mate. Kinda talking with us rather than at us if you get my drift. We need you and your experience … but I find myself turning you off because you are simply overwhelming … it is just all too much. And please slow your speech down. Please consider this constructive not criticising.
