Spud this is art! You look like a real pilot with his cadet. Amazing and instructive video.

[@Spudspike]

Thanks man! I am a real pilot! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioTHo4SQjqdkotUsi=aCCXCDc44eDjWpex

Nice one Spudknocker. Learnt a whole lot from this 1 on 1 training video today. I know what Fence in is but did now know what the acronyms are. The target on canopy bow was also visually demonstrated

[@MaddogMike-444]

On Kadena AB around 79' or 80' I was watching two F-4's taking off when the lead AC jettisoned his tanks onto the runway, the second F-4 flying through the flames and smoke. The pilot that jettisoned was either the base commander or wing commander (memory fades) on his final flight. F15's were already there taking over the F-4 rolls. Some good times there on the Rock.

"Especially in a jet engine, your throttle is always going to be moving..." Me: Laughs in A-10C where the throttle is "ON/OFF" practically ;)

Hey Spud i really love your work I’m not a big fan of the f18 but still i like the way you teach players and I benefit a lot from your videos you are always on the point thanks man from my heart ❤️ about all the good work and all the effort you make to make videos or missions I hope all the best for you and I really love to watch more f16 videos specially 1 to 1 training Im looking forward to see more videos from you and trust me when i say you are one of the best of the best cuz i see a loooot of dcs content

Maybe not so relevant at this mission but overall it would be nice if depending on loadout the max-G would be restricted - climbing after bombing dive with full loadout plus fuel sounds like many G´s. But dont know if pilots get over 5 Gs in those maneuvers...And spud: the plane-captain wants to talk with you about the max 7.6 G you pulled in this mission :) - of course just kidding - thx for your awesome DCS footage keeping my enthusiasm for the sim up!!

[@26Macdylan]

Love these vids, helps a lot!

[@Sodacan56565]

Hello spud! How ya doing. Love your video's. Have an amazing day

[@geoffreymartin2714]

12:15 - Question would we want to use the Term "buster" to go to full mil?

[@stahlwolle8342]

But one thing i would like to be clearified: I would expect dropping an empty tank which is priced around tens of thousand US-Dollars just be done if any kind of danger shows up - otherwise i would think pilots should bring them home for further usage. But one could say that tens of thousand US-Dollar are peanuts for the navy... EDIT: i realy should watch the video till the end before commenting! U did mention that tanks are not thrown away without need. NICE!

"Hey you, it's me" as radio preference. FYI for those that need it to learn.

[@alexrendon5484]

I had the X56 with insane ghost inputs on stick and throttle, u can change input delay time to thousands of a second and it help but throwing it in the pool was a better resolve. Got a warthog hotas love it. Love these videos. My first module in DCS is the A10 , whats better for my next module f16 or f18

[@hhubert1088]

1:23:39 Hey spud! I believe the Phantom break is also offset to the right.

[@s1nnerman889]

Nice explanation. Got my sub ;)

[@OzzySafa]

I would love a one of one with you in this aircraft ! Hope you have the patience for me

[@Spudspike]

@@OzzySafa haha hey man once you’re signed up on Patreon just shoot me a DM on discord and we’ll try to get you scheduled!

[@jamesmcd71]

Spud, I think I'm picking up most aspects of the F18 fairly well. But for some reason, that radar has become my enemy. I'm basically a sitting duck in a BVR fight. I started with the F16 25 months ago. So I have been able to use the knowledge of the F16 and make it work with the F18. This doesn't seem to work with the radar. I have watched every tutorial on KZbin with little positive gains. My question is, would you be willing to do an evaluation session and see if you can help me?

[@Spudspike]

Absolutely! Once you've signed up for Patreon, send me a PM on discord and we will get you all set up!

[@Silent_Productions]

His exhaust should not mess with Spuds HUD...

[@CrossfireGamingNetwork]

I'm struggling I couldn't even get the jet to taxi. It just kept doing this loud alarm after I did the engine start up sequence smh. Someone help lol.

[@Spudspike]

@@CrossfireGamingNetwork hey dude it’s a learning process that’s for sure!

[@cree71cjm]

Did you forget to disengage parking break? Don't get frustrated. Being in my 50's, I really struggled 2 1/2 years ago when I first started getting into DCS. Spud here has some great tutorials as well as several other content creators out there. Stick with it like I did and you'll be super satisfied after you finally get it. Heck, now I'm flying on GS server and rarely get shot down while getting a few kills per flight. Hang in there Crossfire. And Spud, thanks as always for the top notch content. We all really appreciate your vids!!

[@CrossfireGamingNetwork]

@cree71cjm Thanks! May I missed it in the directions. I will double check later thanks for the tips!

[@cree71cjm]

@@CrossfireGamingNetwork No problem Crossfire. Glad to help bro!

[@M.dog489]
