The Art of the Viggen - Pilots' Preliminary Briefing | DCS World Tutorial Series

[@felixx75]

You have quickly and easily become the best DCS tutorial creator for me (Mirage 2000/F1). After a long time, this video has finally made me want to learn and fly the Viggen again. Many thanks for your good work.

[@reiver1-1]

Thank you, that's very kind. I'm glad these videos are making even a small impact.

[@Rogue284]

This convinced me to buy the Viggen. Was always afraid about trying to learn it, but after going through your M2K series, I'm definitely looking forward to this.

[@reiver1-1]

Wow. It's a very different aircraft. Good luck and I hope I can be helpful!

[@Rogue284]

@@reiver1-1 You turned my buyer's regret over the M2KC into love. I think you'll do fine.

With the latest update (if you play multiplayer, there’s a new tool that lets you add waypoints before you spawn into the plane. It’s the little squiggly button up the top left and you can add your waypoints directly to the map

[@timgroot6429]

Superb. Glad you chose this module. Flew it on and off. I'm sure I'll fly it more again with the help of your tutorials.

[@reiver1-1]

Hope I can get you back in this awesome aircraft.

Great! You got the pronunciations of the Swedish words right or very close and you managed to be the first resisting joking about the AFK throttle control function :) I am also somewhat familiar with the Viggen but still finds your intro interesting and useful. I sat in a cockpit of a real Viggen last week - a crazy familiar feeling when my VR-brain met reality. So, your series comes at the right time for me being recently inspired to fly this machine again.

[@reiver1-1]

Thanks! I'm worried about screwing up the Swedish but I'll give it my best shot!

[@rudelchw]

Great introduction video, and looking forward to your next installments. I'm not a newbie on the Viggen, but after watching your Mirage 2000 series, I'm sure I will end up learning things that I didn't knew before. Cheers!

[@reiver1-1]

Thanks very much! You probably know more than me!

[@brucemulraney7045]

Excellent tutorial, loved the M2000 series you did and waiting with bated breath for the next instalment. Cheers

[@reiver1-1]

Thank you. This series will be slightly different I think!

[@MrHighlandSpring]

Excellent - I’ve just started the Viggen and I’m very much enjoying it - your tutorials are going to be very much appreciated!

[@reiver1-1]

I hope they will be of benefit!

[@H34dshotMickey]

Damn, didnt expect this but really looking forward to this series

[@reiver1-1]

Thanks for the support!

[@qwertyuiop32935]

Try flying the Viggen through the Dam Run in the Adrobatics server. It’s very rewarding and gives you a good feel for how to corner without disintegrating at full thrust.

[@reiver1-1]

Never thought about that - I'll have to give it a try!

[@lakota2-1warden]

Thanks for choosing the Viggen, an aircraft that I consider myself too dumb to understand on my own.

[@norwegianwiking]

All you have to remember is to go fast and go low.

[@reiver1-1]

Thanks Lakota. I wanted to do it as I felt it was underappreciated and fairly unique. Hope to see you in the virtual skies soon and thanks again for all you continued support, I really appreciate it.

[@NLarsen1989]

Got the Viggen a couple months ago after seeing a Draken fly over during the midlands air show but never got to understanding it. Just enough to get up in the air and enjoying it's flight characteristics. Looking forward to this series especially on navigation, waypoints and attack points. I've got the F16 throttle as well and I've used the dog switch set to select between A0, A1 and A2 so I'm curious to see what the IR fast select etc does. I've got the weapon select dial set to one of the dials on the throttle base, I think the panel LTS dial

[@reiver1-1]

Hope it will be helpful to you. The dogfight switch is a good shout for the A switch!

[@qwertyuiop32935]

Let’s gooo!!!!

[@reiver1-1]

lol

[@Musix4me-Clarinet]

*It is sadly true.* Sweden makes outstanding military equipment and, for some reason, it gets overlooked much too often. I am a big fan of the Swedish military mind.

[@reiver1-1]

I really like the Swedish was of thinking regarding things like STRIL and BAS 90. Really well thought out.

[@JamesW81]

Anyone else fancy some Doritos all of a sudden?

[@reiver1-1]

Always!

[@piotrlukowicz6760]

Fart! 😅

[@reiver1-1]

Now now, let's be sensible :D
