Ralfi's Alley - Just Mirage things

People got way too butthurt on the last video. Here, I rebound my HOTAS controls and now I was able to get certain things to work better. I'm still not a fan of this bird. It's fine (minus the gripes I have with it), but it's nothing amazing in my book. To each their own I guess.

"Over yonder" - Ralfi's super correct flight term

[@ralfidude]

My English skills at their best. I didn't realize how close he was to that mountain ridge when I fired those two missiles, I was sure those missiles would catch him before reaching that buuut... yeah.

[@tdolan500]

COUNTRYSniperX Funny I thought yonder was an Irish saying.

[@pedronisimo]

No so bad Grzegorz.

[@mikethemaniac1]

... Thank you ralfi, you saved me from boredom. Always a great treat to see a video. More Viggen/Antiship action in the future?

[@ralfidude]

Possibly. Right now not in the correct "Mood" for it. Perhaps if BlueFlag made those ships a much more valuable target it might be worth it. We might try something out.

[@tommeier1888]

ralfidude Shoot ciribob a message. he is such a nice guy.

[@Wayoutthere]

At least it's better then the boring F-15 stuff, much more tense combat here.

[@regular4634]

Wouter d.B. It's a buggy mess, seriously, i will recommend the mig-21 or the ww2 planes over this.

[@rafale89140]

Mirage is not a "buggy mess". Not more than the MiG-21 at least

[@TheMarcomm97]

The mig 21 had it's time being extremely buggy. but currently it's stable af

[@ralfidude]

Didn't take Letherneck two years to figure out the bugs now did it? Nor to make decent tutorials for you to learn the craft, nor the fact that the manual was done properly off the bat. That's what people are referring to about the Mirage and it's really weird development process.

[@TheMarcomm97]

Pretty much, yeah

[@Hellreign82]

Previous video; Having nightmares and a good old vent This video; Great teamwork, murder/murder (guns - I hate the M2KC gun snake)/murder, escape, nice very short final. Really good Ralfi, enjoyed this one a lot. I know she's not your favourite, but you're getting a grasp of her quickly. Hope you persist a little more

[@alexgr0111]

Smells like good shit. Tastes like good shit. Looks like good shit. I must say this is some good shit.

[@kerrjo1601]

That was a very cool vid, could watch you and Onnerby fly all day long!

[@urickyo5370]

90 degree landing at the end. You are an amazing pilot :)

[@Tracks777]

Awesome video,Keep it up!

[@bowser515]

The Mirage takes some getting used to. But it's a fun jet when you do, it's a nice place to be also. I like it and I look forward to their Harrier.

[@TOMCATnbr]

awesome work. totally loved it.

[@Void304]

17:20 Pretty slick touchdown, Ralfi. Much better than I could have done, anyway.

[@Tracks777]

Great video! Keep it up

[@Mike-zj7bp]

i had a sensible chuckle ralf. Thank you.

[@Deltarious]

It's a shame people took it as they did, to me it was quite obvious with the way you were framing your video that you were simply frustrated at the time and needed a moment before diving back in. To finish out my toungue in cheek as on your last Mirage video: I assume this means you'll be clinging onto your key, drats! It's actually been great to watch you learn this bird bit by bit!

[@gofastskatkat]

Its good to see the Onnerbro playing games again

[@jacobaubertin645]

Awesome, and intense!

[@scrake2288]

I like how you flew narrowly to the hills not to get hit by the BUK sam. maybe one day the SAM's might be operated by players, but i can only imagine the chaos that the SAM sims would do.

[@WinchesterDelta1]

Eyzz nice vid. Good to see yah Onnerby from Devildog.

[@tommeier1888]

you should do some multirole in the mirage! that's the really cool part of this plane, first fighter capable of (kind of effectively) dropping bombs

[@nickgrey582]

Very realistic... lovely flying

[@Kevin-cq7qm]

If you set your Decoy Program to "A" it will release just chaff. Decoy Panic Release will deploy chaff and flares. Decoy Program Release will then only deploy chaff. Both buttons van be found under HOTAS. I change the modes during my startup, while I'm setting my IFF to Cont.

[@timothysmith7364]

Hey Ralfi, impressive flying!

[@Hockeyfan2902]

I enjoy watching you play the M2000c more because its more close quarters. Plus for YT, we can generally see the targets better, especially since YT likes to dumb it down a bit more.

[@questlove_satx]

Love this!

[@Iffy350]

The F-5E needs two to four more sidewinders. If the MiG-21 can carry four to eight missiles then the F-5E needs at the very least four AIM-9's.

[@mrwhiteua6492]

Хорошее видео, Ралфи, спасибо!=)

[@firemedicjm911]

Ralfi, Can you share your HOTAS setting when you have a chance?

[@LevyT1]

@Ralfidude just biding my time till the F18 comes out. Was confirmed they have it set up at E3 XD cant wait.

[@CodyU571]

Troll ralfi is troll, nicely done haha

[@nagasako7]

Onrby is the anchor for all of DEVILDOGS videos in multiplayer. lol

[@william_2610]

I never knew a block of cheese could fly!

[@konradson]

Mirage planes are beautiful planes... I would like Razbaam to make also Mirage III, IV, V, and 50, which are very simmilar... And wehh, did you like the plane?

[@ralfidude]

Not really. I don't mind it, there's nothing particularly wrong with it, but I don't see why people have such a boner for it. I really don't. It's OK at best. There's a ton of things that I don't like about the module itself rather than the plane itself. But if I try to even say a single negative thing about it online, there will be an army of people who won't accept the fact that there is someone out there who bad mouths the Mirage and will start to sharpen their pitchforks and light their torches. I personally just couldn't care more or less about it.

[@konradson]

A Spanish KZbinr made a video about all DCS DLCs. He talked about what he thought about Razbaam, and the guys doing C-101. As both are Spanish Speaking companies, he believes that most people are not willing to speak against them. Razbaam is a company from Ecuador, and nobody can expect something well done from this country. Well, this is something that must change, not for being from a South American country you have to do things wrong. And if you do, you have to be criticised (constructively), so as you fix what you did wrong. He is even harder with the guys doing C-101. Hope all these DLC come to a good end, even Hawk's DLC... But being critic doesn't mean that you don't like it at all. Today, other Spanish KZbinr, have done his final video about Mirage 2000, for the Mirage 2000 school at Escuadron 111. He says that although the DLC has a lot of bugs, he will buy it again... The fear comes from AV-8B Harrier DLC, will it stop Mirage 2000 developement?

[@SymbolicLogic24]

ralfidude I love the mirage personally but I also like hearing people voice their opinions about the module as well. One of the few I guess with a open mind. Loved the video and keep up the great work with the channel!

[@riveter2742]

I'd actually really like to hear what you dislike about the module. Personally my biggest complaints are the stupidly short range of the Magic IIs and fairly inconsistent radar, though that may be on my end. Other than that and a couple minor things I really enjoy flying it. I do hate being limited to 4 missiles though.

[@kcz1093]

people like it because atm its the only 4th generation full fidelity module . Some people get bored ( understandably) of simplified FC3 aircraft (given DCS nature as a Study grade sim). , even if they are more higher tech and more capable air frames for air superiority role within FC3 like the su27 or the F15C. If you judge a plane simply by its tech, and how efficient it is in combat then sure the M2K is nothing special given its lighter early 4th generation era airframe ( more comparable to F16A and Mig29 in capabilities) >, thus falls short of something like the F15C or 21st century updated multirole fighter like the F/A18C Lot 20, but then tech wise certainly better than a aircraft from the 3rd gen such as the Mig21bis or F5E. Asa module the only feature missing IIRC is the A/G radar mapping mode. ( but nothing razbam can do there until Hornet releases) For a development team of just 4 people ,Razbam has a done a pretty good job especially given the M2K is thier first module for DCS. They are not green developers however. Thier modules for FSX were pretty well regarded.

[@Blackriver48]

hey there ralfi, im struggling with my hotas for the mirage as well, could u send me your layout for the tmhw ? atb

[@onkeldismaster7397]

Would you mind sharing your HOTAS setup like with the F15? That really helped a lot.

[@AnAmericanDodo]

Onnerby is really the Honorable Bee.

[@Crazylogie]

This video is missing something I'm not quite sure what it is.. hmmmmm I know there is no Linebacker rage / fuck goofery

[@escalator9734]

I don't think linebacker has enough brain matter to expect anything

[@LymarkW]

Damn, I didn't know Onnerby play DCS as well. The sim community is so small!

[@xXGamingFactorXx]

I know, I originally saw him way back when he did DayZ with DevilDogGamer, I only found out he did sorties with Ralfi as of late.

[@bravocpm1600]

I didn't even know onnerby knew ralfie, I've only ever seen him play with devil :)

[@bravocpm1600]

yeah apart from that onnerby he's a bit of a dick ;)

[@MyMilo777]

New to computers and sim games have played them in the past like mig-29 and f-16 back on windows 2000 in the old days. What would you recommend build wise to play this game , looking at getting a pc custom built

[@crashtestdummy9985]

Just as I predicted with the Eve Online comment...you'll be back, and, sure as the sunrise and sunset, here you are. How about that?

[@The_Burrito]

This the internet... of course people are gonna get butthurt. The salt has to come from somewhere, right? Mine that shit, baby.

[@MrDaiki_]

So as someone who's been flying nearly all aerobatics for the past couple of years... Where would I go to learn how to fly on combat servers? Or at least get started

[@BikZom]

Nice landing

[@AnonymousC]

one question 2:20 how did you match his speed that quickly , heard a click perhaps on the throttle ? Thanks

[@ralfidude]

Airbreak

[@AnonymousC]

oh i do that but apparently i was going 2 fast...missed my formation position and said hi to a bogie from close range :D THANKS

[@SymbolicLogic24]

how do you manipulate the radar scan zone shown in 4:43? I've never seen this and can't find anything in the controls or chucks tutorials on this.

[@CdtePuma]

ralfi try vertical mode instead boresight when scanning for near targets when you are blind... just use boresight when you have the target visually in front of you.

[@vnyggi621]

ralfi... you still there?

[@carlosguajardo1066]

You can show how you set up ur hotas?

[@timothysmith7364]

Excited for the F-18C at E3?

[@chipmunk449]

Hey dude just wondering if you are going to do some Twitch streaming soon?

[@ralfidude]

Probably not.

[@Aviba]

Map looks very detailed compared to mine :O

[@ralfidude]

Them mods though, it's in the description if you want.

[@Dutchbag1402]

Notification scramble squad

[@vnyggi621]

Dutchbag Campalot 2!

[@theflyinggasmask]

eyyy

[@DAAI741]

I'm gonna set my notification sound to "scramble!... scramble!..."

[@preziplier2145]

Hey Ralfi, I just bought the F-15c for DCS world and I was wondering, do you know any groups i could join that could train me on the F-15? i am new to DCS so all i really know is just what ive seen in your vids xD thanks in advance

[@kyranbrockett1803]

Preziplier ! Ay I just bought it also! Have you found any groups or how have you learnt? I was thinking just KZbin tutorials?

[@vnyggi621]

I'd join you guys xd I think hoggit is open for new folks

[@naporoy]

Does anybody know how he gets the caucasus map mod to work on online, I also use the generic mod enabler but it doesn't let me in any multiplayer server

[@ralfidude]

New patch makes it so you can't use it.

[@darn1737]

Anyone else realize how close he was to getting shot at 5:58?

[@rinsatomi9527]

Dammit, I wish I had Mirage friends to fly with : /

[@stevepotter7423]

Onnerby is the man!!

[@eeyore5863]

Ralfidude, where can i find the separate radio mod you use????

[@yaialai98]

Aviodev is developing the F1. I assume you are not playing it when it comes out then?

[@Kaipeternicolas]

Can someone make a Eurofighter already?

[@ondrej77]

What mod are you using ? The map, especially the mountain mesh looks great!

[@ralfidude]

It doesn't matter anymore, IVC checks fail for terrain mods online now... Besides... the description dude...

[@jedispartancoolman]

If I picked one platform to be as good at Ralfi or at least decent enough to dogfight and such, How long would it take if you know nothing about flying?

[@massimilianocecchini7151]

How is your approach to learn a new plane? Since in this kind of module, the training mission are an utter pile of crap.

[@MrCarvion]

"I just fox'd off on him".. this is weird in so many ways ;)

[@oppotato5440]

MrCarvion its only weird if you make it weird

[@ryanlim97]

Eyyy ssup ralf

[@bubu2674]

hi,ralfi, looks like that you definitely install a terrain mod, and how do you pass the IC check?

[@ralfidude]

This was before the new IC were in place

[@disco7085]

Did you shoot down a gazelle in this flight? I was killed my two mirages one missed the other got me.

[@ralfidude]

Nope, no helos.

[@Beeron240]

ralfi are you using any soundmods?

[@S_Cube]

noicee

[@TheRandomSqueak]

Don't know if this has been asked yet (Sorry if too much) Thoughts on the F-18?

[@ralfidude]

Wait till it comes out

[@vgtboy]

ralfidude i thought you had given up on us! when is the next upload ?

[@reyco1987]

I just enjoy this plane right now because it's an actual full simulated, more modern fighter. Not really going to use it anymore once the F-18/14s drop lol.

[@bluecollarphil7064]

Onarby?

[@dos4gwexe]

Why do you think that guy you tagged with guns was just flying straight and level like that at the end? Was he resigned to his fate?

[@ralfidude]

He didn't know I was behind him, he thought he managed to sneak away down low. Or he didn't bother to evade knowing he was done for.

[@zeeblock22]

4:01 quick tip- the gear on the mirage create more drag than a gay pride festival, so try lowering them a bit earlier instead of doing a body break as this will result in a lot less tears from the crew chief! love your videos keep up the good shit!

[@denneledoe873]

"went stupid" is that a legit call out? :D

[@unfixedcarp8039]

I believe the official NATO brevity is "trashed"

[@luckynumber3922]

What's the frame rate loss with those awesome mountain textures

[@ralfidude]

None that I've noticed, but I usually get 144 frames plus so I dunno to be honest.

[@luckynumber3922]

ralfidude alright cool I try it out what are the textures called

[@luckynumber3922]

ralfidude alright cool I try it out what are the textures called

[@Tirak117]

It bugs me waaaay more than it should that you guys don't use full Fox X calls.

[@rodolforojas6779]

Hello, your HUD seems more translucent than mine, is it a MOD?

[@tgtgtufeutgtgt4777]

Yes it is this mod: www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/2627862/

[@deadmanfoot6864]

I thought you quit the baguette launcher

[@mqr507]

DeadManfoot lel

[@xXGamingFactorXx]

So I stopped playing DCS quite a while ago for a really annoying reason, so whenever I join servers it takes like 10m and sometimes it'll say I timed out and won't even let me join, IF I do get in and I spawn in my aircraft, I have to do a full 360 lookaround in my aircraft before I start moving, because(I'm guessing) none of the resources around me loaded, and so if I don't and I look around in the middle of the flight, the game freezes up for about 5 seconds, sometimes the game freezes up out of nowhere and it leads me to crash into a mountain or whatever, I am assuming it is because I only have 8GB of RAM and DCS has a memory leak issue, but I also have a 3.5GHz 8 core proccessor, and a GTX 950. If anyone could help me out, thanks! Great video again by the way ralfi.

[@40seconds25]

Have you tried reinstalling? Your specs are fine nothing like that should be happening.

[@xXGamingFactorXx]

I've defragged and I'm thinking about overclocking, I'll try reinstalling though, thank you!

[@slay22497]

Its called having a shit computer

[@xXGamingFactorXx]

Christopher Sampson I meet almost completely recommended if it weren't for my RAM, so I don't think it's a bad pc overall, I think I just need more ram but I'm reinstalling and defragging so I'll see how it goes

[@xXGamingFactorXx]

Syrupsipper I'd love an ssd but they are expensive plus writing and deleting takes longer despite the faster read time

[@TheFaveteLinguis]

Have you bound "surrender" button to your HOTAS?

[@ralfidude]

I thought it was the parachute lever? It's a white flag-ish, and you can deploy it in flight.

[@bakerstreet8974]

Ouch!

[@19Koty96]

Well.. speaking of white flags... Red flag, Blue flag, ... White flag when? Some dank airpolicing.. ))

[@ralfidude]

Racist...

[@cpt.squiggly8004]

That's fucked up...

[@shackas_8398]

you got a TS or discord?

[@ralfidude]

Not open for the public.

[@flyfight98]

Does anybody know a PvP server with the mig21 and its american counterpart? Dont want to fly the mig21 against f15s ^^

[@FanOmbladon]

Chris coldwar server

[@boagord]

Nice video as usually! Juste one or two things : - The parachute is only for emergency, it is not in normal landing procedure. -The ID of an aircraft is available only in PIC ( STT) mode. -If you disengage the masterarm and press "app" mode on pca, your hud will go on approach mode. The the IAS and ALT will go a little bit down so you can rise up your seat. You will have AOA cue too.

[@ralfidude]

Literally in APP mode on both landings.... literally... Used the chute on the first landing because Onnerby was slowing down in front of me and I didn't want to slam into him. Didn't use the chute on the second landing because I know we don't need it. Figured out about ID of target after recording these clips but thanks.

[@boagord]

My mistake for the app mode! You are right!

[@Slafeys]

Dad?

[@thetau12]

Russian M2000 use French camo... so BF should put some middle east/greece/ south america nation for red

[@joe-nf8go]

That wingman needs a better mic

[@ralfidude]

Wingmans mic is just fine.

[@tinokap]

WHAT THE FUCK ARE THOSE MOUNTAINS AND HOW DO I GET ONE !

[@tinokap]

WILL INSTALLING IT KILL FPS ?

[@ralfidude]

i listed my mods

[@fredericborloo1910]

The small square is a lead calculation. If you manoeuvre it into the ASEC, it helps taking lead. Higher Pk! Nice flying.

[@ralfidude]

Oh OK! Let's just pretend 12:00 never happened then.

[@fredericborloo1910]

ralfidude You're a great pilot. ... probably...

[@ralfidude]

Frederic Borloo you realize that was sarcasm since i literally did what you suggested at that time stamp. There was no need to do it in any of the other engagements. I appreciate that you're just trying to help but ive been flying since 2005 at least

[@razorseal]

What don't you like about this plane? I don't get it. The f15 is indeed superior, but you're flying a arcade plane vs sim planes...

[@fredericborloo1910]

I know...

[@ralfidude]

Frederic Borloo so why are you bothering commenting to do something I already did and knew about?

[@fredericborloo1910]

And you're welcome.

[@ralfidude]

Frederic Borloo you didn't do anything

[@StinkiePoep01]

ralfi u can only ID the target on radar when u hardlock if im not mistaken :)

[@SAINT-ANTONIO]

My impression is that while the M2000 looks very elegant but old style, it's radar and HUD systems, appear much more sophisticated and elegant then the F15 ones, who are very basic in my opinion but better in quick battle decisions.... Guess its just a matter of getting used to both. Just hope that the F35`s have push&ready" cockpits, cause until an F18 or Mirrage get warmed up, the bandits went by by

[@shawcobra]

Ralf, I have a question. Should i buy the F-18 module or a Star Citizen starter package + squadron 42?

[@Bisbye]

shawcobra F/A-18C

[@m.balauszko]

Both. I see no other way.

[@NORxDRONExAT01]

Both. But maybe SC later, since it is less finished

[@hankczinaski915]

SC won't become a proper game for at least 3 more years. No point playing alphas, betas just to get annoyed.

[@bakerstreet8974]

I have a question for YOU shawcobra. It's your money, your choice, your liking. Why do you need to ask someone else what to buy? Immature attitude toward your own self. Grab the one you want first. It's not like the other one you didn't pick is going out of reach forever. You got the money? Grab both. Can't get both but want both? Wait it out and grab one at a time. You need to be taught that too by someone? On a side note: I have a question for you: "Hey shawcobra, I have a question. Should I buy the F-18 module or whatever game I want to buy?" Please answer. Your answer would mean a lot to me and I can't decide for myself what to pick. Oh please...please do reply. I am helpless...

[@NickBeaton92]

So, question, why do you keep flying a high alt interceptor at low alt?

[@avtomat11]

up high he'd be SAM and AMRAAM food

[@NickBeaton92]

So you're not going to use the Mirage for what it was literally built for? Interesting, none of the guys I know who fly it in DCS has had an issue with SAMs and AMRAAMs when using it correctly.

[@thetau12]

M2000C was build for that in 1980s. AIM120 is kinda decade later. In in 1990s/modern scenario M2000C is simply outdated. If F15 had aim7s then u could fly higher with much better chance of success

[@TheFaveteLinguis]

I thought the Mirage IIIs were designed as interceptors. The M2000 is multirole and manoeuvrable, right?

[@avtomat11]

What jets were initially designed for, and how they can be used effectively in the DCS environment are sadly two different things. The sad reality is that you're most likely not gonna leave a fight with a 4 ship F15 flight alive when you try to keep an altitude of 30 000ft. They're carrying 30 active homing missiles, while your 4 mirages are carrying less than half of number, and semi active or heater missiles at that. Its just not really 'competative' unless you're on a cold war loadouts only server or something. Is it fun? Sure Can you survive in it? Sure Can you get kills? Heck yeah The same can be said about the Mig-21, though.

[@SPFLDAngler]

Not every aircraft can be super duper cool and amazing to fly. There are going to be duds. The Mirage 2000 just isn't a great aircraft, that's all there is to it. It's not very fun to fly and it's not very capable. Some people need to get off their high horse and stop trying to be niche and different by forcing themselves to like something they don't actually like, and getting mad at others for not liking what they "like" When you have aircraft like the F-14/16/18, and then the Mirage. It's no competition. HUGE difference. Even if you started with the Mirage and went to one of those, you'd like them better and realize how far behind the Mirage is.

[@fredericborloo1910]

1. I was trying to be nice to you. 2. I realised you were being sarcastic, but not why straight away. 3. Now I realised why you were being sarcastic : It was because you already knew what to do. 4. Even After I had been sarcastic, (and you didn't realise I was) , I was still just trying to be nice to you. 5. I actually think you are probably a really good pilot. I never flew against or with you, so I can't say. You could be awesome, you might suck, or you might be anywhere in between, but probably real good... 6. I was trying to be nice to you. 7. I was trying to be helpful. 8. I have been flying since 1986... 9. I hope Heatblur F-14 Tomcat comes out soon, because I cannot bear it any longer,... seriously! 10. See 1.

[@tommeier1888]

you should do some multirole in the mirage! that's the really cool part of this plane, first fighter capable of (kind of effectively) dropping bombs
