DCS World - F 14 - Front Seat - Startup, Taxi, Takeoff with Jester

It’s time for the inaugural no checklist startup tutorial for the DCS World F-14 by Heatblur. As with every new module I am going to show you what I believe is the quickest way to startup this new module to get you going once you get your hands on. if you are looking for a more checklist by the book approach, this video is not going to be for you and I suggest doing the Jester Assisted Startup, as he will assist you to do the startup by the checklist.

The F-14 startup and take-off is so serene; a really beautiful plane.

[@JETZcorp]

I've literally searved "DCS F-14" and just keep hitting refresh until a new video comes out. Last night it took my 2 hours to get to sleep because I was so amped about this module. I've already scheduled 2 days off work to fly and train with squad buddies.

[@norman191000]

Stop overhyping it - it is as dangerous for the product as bad reviews. Because of overhype every minor bug grows to a big dissapointment by community. I know, not you, not me, but general community reaction. This is already being a well-known phenomenon in industry. So, Shhh, over-hype filter on...

[@somecallmetim42]

Great video, seems pretty straightforward to get her up in the air fairly easily. After watching a few vids now I've succumbed and pre-ordered and I just can't wait to give her a spin. Hopefully Jester will help me prevent my brain from melting in having to learn the Tomcat as well as the other pfm aircraft I have!

[@RealismFTW]

That climb is just insane. She's still accelerating...

[@cr4sh0verr1de6]

Thank you very much for the video. It was very educational. You decided to reset the pressure to 0 at the altimeter. And when I played with the air cooling buttons, I forgot to set the button in the avionics cooling position)))

Such an awesome aircraft!

[@craigharris41]

Man thanks, DCS gave this away for 7 days and I was so frustated trying to get the wing sweep thing correct.

[@swisstraeng]

Jester's place is in the back seat. How dare you had this video ready for 2 weeks and let it go just today! kiddin'.

[@jep1103]

Nice vid like the start-up seems fairly quick Climb rate....45-50,000 per minute maybe?

[@CakePrincessCelestia]

Kinda wondering that this goes without that hydraulics switch just right of the seat, thought that was mandatory. That acceleration and climb though. Take a Hornet from 500kts and pull up 20°, go AB and watch it decelerate still - feels like a fully laden Airbus. The Tomcat just comes by at 55-60° climb angle, literally asking you "hold my beer" :)

1423 171 i understand your point . I just don’t mind paying that price for all the work and detail they put into this game.there is nothing like it that can really compare.

Thanks for the vid mate! So, if min coarse alignment takes about 8-9 minutes, how long does the min weapons deployment alignment take?

[@jakubsabosz2933]

I'm hearing Top Gun intro in my head :)

[@Nanne118]

Dat climbrate :D. You were in a clean configuration, right? Can you give us any info about how much slower does it climb with a full loadout; supposedly the tunnel between the engines reduced the drag on stores quite a bit?

[@mactgnr]

Great vid again, the acceleration once you put burners on is incredible! the climb rate is pretty impressive too, were you clean?

[@Jabbers]

Ya

@@Jabbers I hope so. But thanks for the tutorial, watched it now 4 times already to get prepared.

[@ripreaper5986]

Are you planning on doing a HOTAS mapping tutorial to help get set up quicker next week just with some essentials?

[@RealismFTW]

As I recall it will come with a binding if you have the Thrustmaster Warthog.

[@ripreaper5986]

Iv got the x56

[@racewilliams3952]

spudnocker did a video specifically with an x56 if you havent seen it yet, the bindings seem pretty solid, its what im going to use

[@fzijlstra2906]

In the f14 manual on the heatblur website there are throttle and stick lay-out graphs. This will get you started

[@patriotgamer5219]

Seems like a pretty easy start up. When I was using Jester, I was getting confused. A few questions? How long does the INS Go Fine Alignment take? I never heard Jester say, ready to taxi when I did it. Are you going to do a HOTAS binding guide, missile guide? Please! Please! Please!

[@luis269]

Very nice and helpful vid but can you make a vid about how to do a takeoff on the carrier?

[@mjohnsimon1337]

Hey Jabbers, as someone who's interested in getting into DCS, would you recommend the F-14 Tomcat? It's one of my favorite planes! Also, how's it like?

[@72launchpad]

Really wish my mirrors showed like yours. For some reason mine are dirty and don't reflect. F-18 it works just fine.

[@gamestv4875]

Easy as pie. Can we have a quicker Jester?

[@yoschiunboxing6289]

what a great video!! Thnx mate for this perfect tutorial!! can someone tell me how i can turn on/off nosewheel steering on the keyboard? and whats the button for the wheelbrake during taxi?? and i agree with you - the f14 is an amazing plane and force! stay safe!

[@chanchaniceman]

“It’s been a minute huh Mav”

[@ghostrider1827]

Jabber...actually the best start up for beginners I have seen yet. Thanks for this. It will help me onece I get everything setup. I have to ask, why do you have a "gaming' rig and a "streaming" rig??

[@Jabbers]

I use to stream, but not so much anymore. But offloading the recording processing to a second PC ensures no lag or shared CPU time with the game I'm playing

[@ghostrider1827]

@@Jabbers ahh! ok. makes sense. Howdo you like the warthog throttle? i really want the Virpil throttle but its always out of stock. How do you feel about the Warthog throttle coupled with the F-14B module? does it match up well?

Yes it matches just fine, I've used the warthog throttle for 3 years now
