I'd love this giveaway I'm new to dcs and it's awesome

[@dzfeverframe6787]

Do we need to have dcs installed to benefit from giveaway, cause i have a potato pc i5 4690 and gtx 1060

[@LongShotChannel]

Yes sir. We will check that you have a new account

[@MaSterChOu1]

@@dzfeverframe6787 I have had this kind of configuration not long ago, and it was fine. You probably won’t be able to play on big online servers and too graphic heavy maps, bit I’m sure you could have a ton of fun ! That’s exactly what is shown in the video that hooked me to dcs, and you’ll evolve from there.

[@White_Martian]

@@dzfeverframe6787 dude i have the i5 10400 and the gtx 750 ti and i can play the game so if i can you can for sure

[@ACG_Jaydog]

Good stuff. A lot of people are afraid to dive in because they let the radar and weapon systems intimidate them. But FC3 is a good start to get into DCS

[@trashyspeeds266]

No. Its more so because we think it'll be another sweat fest like warthunder

[@Chibbs.E]

​@@trashyspeeds266 Anything PvP is going to be a sweat fest. I'm not sure what you mean there but there are tons of PvE training servers that are newbie friendly. I've been playing DCS for a long time and I still frequent those servers.

[@subjectc7505]

Coming from flying in Arma 3 and Microsoft flight simulator. I'm pretty confident in my ability to fly in DCS world. It's just so many choices and i like almost every plane in the game.

[@MjrScumbag]

Would love to see similar tutorial vids for the other Russian Air frames. Like the free Su-25T and how to SEAD and hit ground targets.

[@Trig0r]

Simple videos like this is what DCS needs more of...

[@GrumpyStoic]

Amazing video! I'm been umming and aahhing about getting into DCS for years. This pushed me over the edge. Old skool player of F19 Stealth Fighter on Amiga 500 amongst others. Keyboard overlays FTW :)

[@LongShotChannel]

That's awesome. Enjoy!

[@thegoodgamerguy3387]

you got me to pull the trigger months ago, i owe all my DCS fun times to you! thank you man!!!!!!

[@tmoshamo]

Thank you for this video. I feel like i could actually play DCS now. Peace✌️

[@TheSolodevildog]

This is such an awesome video. I’ve been watching for a while now and I’ve always been intimidated by what I thought was a hard game to learn. This really makes it easy to get started. So thank you for this.

[@The_TownDrunk1]

Thank you for this video! It made me break out my X-56 and update DCS to give this a try. I have always found it intimidating to try and set up controls and what ones I was actually looking for!

[@reinhardtrossouw1879]

I have the game, but not playing it due to a few reasons. One, getting the planes started - well that's been sorted thanks to this great video. Two, working overseas for extended periods meant I have to leave my joystick at home. Will definitely get one once I am back in the US again. Three, difficulty. Watching you and GS really is great, wish I could play like you guys.

[@baomao7243]

I really appreciated this video. I started DCS years ago with A-10C and self-taught in all aspects. A bit challenging (and i’m a GA pilot). But feels like improvements and new planes have come faster that i could update and assimilate them … so i almost feel like i’ve gone backward. Plus i have fallen in love with rotary, so i like the idea of a playground for helicopters. This helps. Thanks.

[@sonnyd9chevelle]

Thank you for the video, great content for the new DCS users.

[@CodenBahn]

Was literally thinking about looking this up. Perfect timing

[@johnjones9396]

Thank you so much for this video! It definitely makes it less intimidating. I've been wanting to learn but looked very difficult to learn. I've been watching and loving jets for over 60 years and I really want to learn how. I'm 68 and playing DCS is on the list. I had the great opportunity of flying in one of my customers airplanes.I was his mailman for 15 years. My customer was a veteran F15 pilot and he took me up in his Yak and he let me experience all the various dog fighting maneuvers. IT WAS AWESOME !!! Hopefully I'll get to learn to play.

[@ThePointlessBox_]

Wow i held off going to DCS and just played warthunder sim modes, but your explanation makes me want to make the jump

[@icaleinns6233]

Damn, wish this video woulda been out when I started DCS!!! 😂

[@nephilimcrt]

Hey, I just downloaded DCS World today with the intention of picking up flightsimming again (after a hiatus of many years)! I'm glad I found your video!

[@LongShotChannel]

Awesome

[@Cubrooski]

Just got FC3 for my birthday along with a new t.16000m with the twcs. Just looking for videos on how to fly straight and level. Trimming was killing me last night. Thank you for this videos. I'll save this and come back to it to try my hand at BVR in a few days. Good luck to all the other beginners in the contest

[@LongShotChannel]

Awesome. Have fun

[@phillbrotheridge4014]

Thanks for the info for newbies. I just need to get a computer that can run DCS now.

[@LeglessTurtle]

Dang! I'm a newbie and I just bought FC3 last week. So excited for the winners. If you don't win, and you're passionate about aviation, it's worth the price. Also, I think DCS has an option to pay a small amount for a trial. Edit:(I stand corrected. The trial period is free.)

[@aggressiveduck5399]

that small amount is 2 weeks for free!

[@tomas7158]

Well done LS. Love your tutourial. More of that, and when its out it is a great tool for beginners. Saying that and looking at the bookshaft and my A10. =).

[@Edwilliamjr]

Great video as always, the giveaway is a nice opportunity to new people enter in DCS world!

[@sixdegrees6434]

I just bought FC3 (and the F18 for its training missions) but I don’t mind. I thought I had to learn step by step. This video is awesome. How do I setup the bandits?

[@JBSmoke1]

Great tutorial, LongShot! The F-15 is a fun jet.

[@Lev-Nedkov]

Cheer mate this helps alot. i have DCS for a year and never actualy flew . this wil help

[@kevingalgay]

There is a button to start both engines on mine and I hate the twist rudder because it happens too often often on accident.

[@cheezitman9942]

Im tryna save up for a stick right now but im very excited to be able to fly because its what i wanna try to do irl

[@GhStLkr]

Great! I'm on this since flanker 2.5 maaany years ago

[@zooot820]

i saved this video for when i have a computer in the near future. hopefully before may!

[@TheGoldenViper]

I just got started in DCS after finally getting my track ir5 setup. I am using one of those cheap throttle and stick setups and no peddles( they are my next buy lol) . Just have the frog foot and p-51 to use til can buy some bundles or planes. Lol

[@RagsDCS]

Long shot my friend 👊😎 You know it may seem a little odd, but in my case I felt it easier to go in the TC or the hornet for the FF. I jumped in the F-15C just mapped out the flight characteristics. Truly, I'm totally biased for the USN being an old navy rotor head. I really like the f 15C and deeply appreciate the tutorial. Going to save this one and map out the standards as you shown. Deeply appreciated brother. Thank you 🕊️

[@willembont4790]

Good video. Thanks DCS rocks!

[@Gobie_]

Do you absolutely need TrackIR or VR to play or can you play without all this? Can you still rotate your camera effectively without TrackIR and VR? And what are you using in this video?

[@danielberger1378]

ED should advertise this video on how to easily get into DCS, seriously 🤘

[@Capt_OscarMike]

Really appreciate it LS!!!

[@lilsmoot4488]

I would seriously recommend to beginners to just get Flaming Cliffs 3 on a sale and maybe a couple maps if you so desire. If all you're looking for is just a good time for cheap you don't need full fidelity.

[@LJB...]

Excellent video as always.

[@mikehenshall4090]

i still have that cheap stick up in my loft, still going strong after 10 + years 😆 i now use x 56 and am totally lost when it comes to DCS! i have uninstalled the game twice now so am installing as i type and will follow the steps on your video - will let you know if it's third time lucky

[@dzfeverframe6787]

Good idea 💡 love it 😍

[@erikcourtney1834]

I don’t have any way to play it. Gaming pc’s aren’t cheap. This is the only reason I don’t play it. But I like watch Longshot and GS play

[@branjosnow6244]

FC3 gives you the ability to use a ton of mods too.

[@MaSterChOu1]

Perfect video ! Not a dcs beginner in the way the video suggests but a beginner forever in dcs world, that’s the magic of this platform. Thank you LS

[@jameswilliams1085]

Great video!!!

[@muhammadsaleh7229]

The thing that kept me from playing dcs was a dynamic campaign but that changed when i found out the custom dynamic campaigns mainly the Digital Crew Chief ( works the same way as Falcon 4.0 )

[@LongShotChannel]

You can try my server as well.

[@muhammadsaleh7229]

@@LongShotChannel Does it support PVE . Like fighting with bots that spawn again or basically a dynamic server with bots .?

Give us a demo of your Track IR-5 set up with settings, positioning, and ?? etc, please.

[@user-zz3vg6bp5o]

Wish the f15 had a datalink

[@chronichurdle1802]

Gonna be confused when they cant re-arm because you dont always spawn with missiles. To re-arm you must have engines off and canopy open in Flaming Cliffs 3

[@robidius]

I am sure you can do a more detailed startup, no? and go to each individual dial

[@sixdegrees6434]

For sure you can. That’s not the point of this video though. LS is showing how EASY it can be to get into the action.

I haven't changed it so you might have called it wrong - Electric Power is Right-Shift-L in my F15C

I bought Flaming cliffs 1 and I loved it. But is it worth getting flaming cliffs 3 if I have DCS world?

[@chukuma4760]

Yes

[@pteronoid]

While i agree with everything in this video, i want to ask if anyone knows what is broken in all FC3 mods since the latest update? For me CCIP and CCRP does not work in both Module and mods, if the mods are installed. I reported this on the forums and i was informed that this is a mod conflict, but no info on what is actually conflicting.

[@LycanrocNight]

Wouldn't you update your Motherboard for next level military degree ASUS The ultimate Force (TUF) ?

I’m 8 k in and I started five months ago. This is not for you if you do not have strong discipline and impulse control on your spending just an FYI.

[@edutaimentcartoys]

nice walkthrough

[@karlchilders5420]

IT IS NOT RANGE WHILE SCAN!!!! It's range while SEARCH. TWS is Track while scan, as you have said. TWS = multi target tracking across a WIDE area. Target discrimination is reduced, as this is a lower radar transmit power setting. RWS = Range while search, which is designed to discrminite targets within a specific range setting, and it provides higher tracking fidelity than TWS. STT is the best way to get tracking information on a single target as maximum transmit and computing power are applied to the target to get all possible data points you want from that target. Some radars also have ACM (air combat mode), long range search, vertical acquisition (VACQ), velicity search with ranging (VSR) and more. It depends on the radar set and a few other factors.
