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.

I got the f16 and it comes in the gambler's scheme wich my dad was in that squadron

[@nigelsmith7366]

Hi GS... I don't play DCS but love the dogfight videos... I am a professional model maker and maybe a good idea is for a virtual tour/View of the aircraft for reference material for model makers.... The DCS digital models are very good and accurate... So I think there is a good market for this version

[@TheCobra114-o5e]

F16 vs F86?

[@ImSaneperson]

Do a SU30mki video .

[@MattWagner]

A PGM value of 1 will much faster and easier with the addition of TDOA. This will allow a flight of Vipers with HTS to datalink together to triangulate and geolocate a threat emitter much faster and more precisely. Where a PGM1 is most valuable is to cue the TGP for setting up an attack location SPI, threat identification, and real-time BDA. We are in final, internal testing of this.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

very excited, the best F-16 simulation on the market, gets even better....

These tutorial videos are very helpful. Its hard to find good videos that are informative and not full of drabble. Even the little arrows in your other video's showing when you see someone on radar ect are nice. Really helps teach while also delivering fun content!

Boggles the mind at how complicated it must be flying these jets in real combat. Fighter pilots are cut from a different cloth, for sure. Great tutorial, GS. 👍🏼

[@Kwaj]

So relieved that GS didn't have to put up with the SA-13's from 'Behind Enemy Lines'. Those things would've probably chased him all the way home.

[@bassdrop001]

Please consider doing more of these “walkthrough” missions, I think that they are very helpful for new players

[@UKKrycek]

Thank you GS. Having not played DCS in ages and finally having some time over the bank holiday weekend just gone here in the UK. I decided to set up a very basic mission to learn some SEAD techniques and HARM deployment in a spooky parallel to this one. Thanks for sharing your mission and for the 10% off the Persian Gulf map which I decided to pick up to expand the areas I can fly in. Keep the videos coming, enjoying all your content and really appreciate the tutorials and mission files you are doing.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

my pleasure, really glad to hear you're enjoying your DCS experience, shoutout to ED for the discounts, the credit is all theirs. Very generous of them to give this to the community.

[@dirtydan6854]

Without a doubt this is the best video I've seen that explains A/G and A/A on the F16 in a quick, but detailed manner.

[@ajbridgewater]

I had no plans on getting into DCS, but these new videos are giving me the itch to try it.

[@filmoperationsgroup]

Please more of this content, the way you explain what's going on in this format makes things a whole lot easier for the novice flyer.

[@isaaccoote2874]

Alright, I have been following your channel for years and I really enjoyed you sharing this kind of scenario with us. Honestly I think these kind of videos are great for bringing new people into the fold. I'm not new and I still enjoyed myself and fired up this mission as soon as I finished the video. Love the channel dude, keep them coming and safe flying out there.

[@Admiral73]

Love these multi-layer missions ! SEAD, air to air, and A.I. F-18 support. Sweet 👍

[@anotherHelldiver]

I’d like to see an F-35 series next. I like both of these aircrafts,I hope to fly them one day if the F-16 isn’t fazed out.

[@netwrkguy]

You make it look so effortless Growler!! Thanks for putting out these great videos!!

[@Stinger522]

I love these multi-role missions. You should do a BFI mission next.

[@virgo47]

You did it! I didn't go for F-16, but I used GSF18 and bought the module + Supercarrier as my first ED purchase. Then I migrated my few modules from Steam DCS. Damage is done. I feel whole again.

[@MrSweetactionjackson]

Deploy speed brakes to 250 knots, at 250kt's deploy gear and immediately start retracting speed brakes, guide in as GS instructed then hold 10-15 degree nose up attitude upon landing, hold it there as best you can until you are near 100 knots, then tap wheel brakes to drop the nose. Once nose is on the ground pull back hard on the stick and hold, then tap or hold wheel brakes to decelerate quickly. Adjust as needed to maintain 20-30 knots until your turn off.

[@cloudforest4087]

It has to to be terrifying as a pilot when the enemy has a superior aircraft in war. You knocked down their air defenses! Now you can move freely and provide support from above. Incredible.

[@demonfaeshae]

Really liked this one! Hope you do more example missions like this to give a step by step of other kinds of missions!

[@galacticbonemeal3184]

Always makes my day better when GS uploads.

[@Tepnox]

The F-16 is a SEAD monster. This video shows perfectly the amount of work for the pilot in engaging different tasks. Also this shows the great survivability of the F-16. A superior air frame to play with!

[@niko7903]

Really is a fantastic bird! Imagine being a Pakistani pilot (or any country that doesn't make their own badass planes) and being given the proverbial keys to a F-16, the hot-rod sports car of the sky. It's like driving a convertible with that beautiful bubble canopy, and the power to weight ratio and agility that would satisfy any pilot's wildest desires.

[@ivellos]

This is the kind of video I like the most: Multirole mission. Btw, GS, i just checked your store, and if I may say, I would really be interested in a F-16 Viper shirt, similar to the F-22 or Tomcat options you have there :)

[@maxjones45]

Loving these somewhat tutorial style videos. Really great to see what you are looking at to get vital info. Also seeing navigation within the cockpit and knowledge you provide on the weapons systems you are using/being used on you is Immensely helpful for newer players like myself. Currently I have >50 hrs and these videos keep me motivated to continue to try to learn my aircraft. Would love to see some videos like this on perhaps some more complex aircraft such as the F-18. Love the hard work and uploads, keep it coming!

[@LeviewFPV]

Coming from VTOL VR this looks familiar yet much more complex. These videos are making me want to buy DCS and a HOTAS. Obviously subbed a long time ago, this channel is gold.

[@Tepnox]

VTOL is great for understanding the fundamentals of avionics and weapon systems in general. Very fun to play. I always come back to have some more arcade relaxed sessions. But nothing beats DCS in VR (which requires a beefy system sadly and preferably a Hotas).

[@jamesonburke7981]

Yessss thank you so much for listening GS!!! This is what exactly what people want to see! Keep up the great work friend!

[@dcashio]

Thank you for making this run-through. I feel like I could jump back into DCS again!

[@nathanrawling4353]

You've become part of my daily routine. Thanks for all the content!

[@SebMercier]

Great stuff as usual! Love this new kind of vids, that changes from the dogfights as those tend to be a bit repetitive. Need to use the AOA cue on landing though, that was a tad fast 😂

[@sladehelicoptersgaming3148]

Been flying the F16 for sometime now, it’s such an awesome aircraft !! Air to ground air to air or both ! She rocks

[@nicholasjensen8016]

A little tip for getting good triangulation is turn roughly 60 degrees from the target and fly straight to make it as easy as possible for the computer to triangulate the location.

[@blackout2331]

Its interesting because this whole time i thought HARMs just kinda knew where the radar signature was coming from because it was homing in on the radiation coming from the radar site. Its great knowledge to know that even 'smart' missiles take a second to figure out their targets.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Ur correct that they can also do that, the old version of the HARM, the shrike, did that exact thing but using that technique means you don’t know range to target so it’s not uncommon to have those missiles fall short

[@lionelbowhunter468]

It is a great idea to share your mission: Thx a lot GS, always a pleasure to watch you dancing in the sky and now we can try your mission! Greetings from France^^

[@debbiestimac5175]

Successful SEAD, successful ingress and egress of the strike package... along with 4 bandits downed as a single element the whole time? USAF Distinguished Flying Cross for sure! You are such a sweet and kind man for teaching the new players like this, you'd have been a star weapon system instructor no matter what branch you chose. Calm even tones, no superfluous details, you can tell them that the lights were nav and anti-collision lights at a future time, stacking their knowledge building as training evolutions progress; well done Growling!

[@GregL-zt4xf]

Hey, GS: How much easier-and effective-would it be to fly and win with a two-seat F-15E? That was a super-good and thorough walk-through that revealed how incredibly complicated air-to-air and air-to-ground missions can be. There is clearly a lot for pilots of single-seat multirole fighters to learn and it’s no wonder that well-trained American pilots can kick ass when battling the armed forces of developing nations.

[@majesticpbjcat7707]

If you're a big fan of the Sensor Of Interest, would that make you a SOI Boy?

[@CueDriver]

This bird is devastating for SEAD. I hated this plane when I was first introduced to the Air Force. Even all my years through flight sims and still did not care for it. From F16 Facon (DOS) to Falcon 4. Since the DCS release I can get enough of it. But I take into consider that it was the A models I did not care for. After many new blocks and upgrades she really became one hell of a plane.
