Hey pilots! Tricker here and I want to welcome you to my channel on combat aviation. I'm a real world pilot in the Airbus 319/320/321 series and I enjoy DCS World, Falcon BMS, Falcon 4.0, IL-2 Sturmovik, X-plane 11, and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.
If you want to fly WWII aircraft over Normandy and the English Channel, then DCS World WWII is for you and they have plenty of aircraft to choose from such as the BF-109, FW-190, Spitfire, P-47 Thunderbolt, and P-51 Mustang. If you enjoy modern aerial combat then you want to focus more on DCS World products such as the F-16, A-10C Warthog, AH-64D Apache, F-15, F-14, JF-17, SU-27, Mirage, Mig-29, F-18 Hornet, Mi-8, Mi-24 Hind, Uh-1 Huey, Ka-50, F-5, Mig-21, AV-8b Harrier, and the F-4 Phantom. Some of the mods that are out there for DCS World are the F-22 Raptor, SU-57, A-4 Skyhawk, Rafale, and Gripen.
I enjoy other games such as Total War, Battlefield, War Thunder, Escape from Tarkov, as well as Squad.

[@clericneokun]

I think the thing about the F18 I prefer the most over the F16 is how incredibly streamlined the controls are. Case in point: I haven't flown the plane in more than half a year but after just watching this video, I immediately recalled how to operate the HMCS+TGP+Mavericks. This thing's systems are easier to remember than my actual keybinds lol.

[@jjsemperfi]

I agree. The F-16 is so foreign to me. I can hop in a Harrier and be up and running no prob. The Viper is like going from English to ancient Sumerian. It’s just so different.

[@smitty683]

The F-18 needs to be simple enough to be flown by marines.

[@jjsemperfi]

@@smitty683 Haha. Very true! It also has pouch for crayons to snack on.

[@Lochaby]

Good job keeping your knots up! Too many people are sub 250 knots when they're kinetic like this and then have no smack on the jet to evade sam or pop up threat. Keep it up step bro!

[@lionelbowhunter468]

Beautiffull vidéo, thx Tricker ! The more i fly the 18 the more i like it :) I flew the F16 a lot but i tend to prefer the 18 now, thx to features as the HMCS for ground pouding! Greetings from France ^^

[@maltimoto]

Oh my god I thought it was only for VR but everyone can use the HMD, so cool!

[@Lochaby]

Very nice Tricker, thanks for showing that off!

[@mobius7089]

FYI you can use the RAID/FLIR FOV select switch to toggle MAVF FOV Another way to do the the dual target attack is with the FLIR offset. Have an AUTO track on the first target, TDC depress to make the offset cursor appear, slew this to the second target. Fire first Mav, SCS to FLIR will make the offset the primary TGT instantly, fire the second Mav. (fun fact: the offset logic is wrong in DCS, it should be the other way around with the offset slewing the FLIR image.) Also, don't make a MK, it's such an unnecessary step. Put a sensor like the FLIR or radar in track so if you hit undesignate, just the designation is removed but the sensor will still be pointed in the right direction. Good video!

[@TrickerDCS]

These are interesting and fun facts, I’ll test these out. Thanks for sharing

[@yassm]

​@@TrickerDCS Hello. Do you remember if you tried the thing with the FLIR offset? I tried and the mav doesnt want to lock to the WPDSG point but rather to a point that is between that and the offset. I dont know if Im doing it right :/

[@RattlerSSBN]

Damn Tricker, you're on a roll with some with some great stuff for ground pounders like me. First, the A-10 II w/ Mavs, now the F/A-18...I'm gonna have to order another 10 cases of AGM-65D's for Christmas. Another great video to toss in the library for quick reference...thanks

[@BigHairySasquatch515]

solved my problems for exact same reason! thanks for posting

[@oldfashionedwrx3574]

fa 18 has insane nose authority, i do like the f16. its awesome how you've done the same mission with different air crafts :)

[@officer_miller]

SAM jumpscare at the beginning

[@M4tr00s]

Thanks Tricker, been learning the F-18 the past few weeks and doing the Persian Lion campaign, so all these tips are super helpful, now just need to sort out VR its a bit of a pain at this stage

[@SimbaScreams]

Great Video as always, T! Thanks for the lesson! Stay safe, bud. 💚

[@Sandboxcode]

Nice tip bout creating the markpoints. Enjoyed the video 👍

[@104th_raccoon]

Well done as always. S!

[@thecoyotehunter6749]

Great tutorials Tricker👍

[@gregduncan]

Great video, but you should try out the laser mavs as you can fire from longer range and do not need a contrast lock.

[@TrickerDCS]

Yep you can, was just demonstrating how to use the HMD basically to put weapons on targets

[@gigas27]

Freaking A, you make this shit look easy....and I've been flying for years. Good stuff

[@donrumsey]

Great teaching! What's the diff btwn CAGED / UNCAGED? What are their functions? (newbie)

[@monkman911]

I really enjoy your videos Tricker. I grabbed your TrackIR profile and noticed that the yaw axis is faster left than it is right. Is there a reason for that? Keep up the good work!

[@TrickerDCS]

Hey thanks! No reason actually, I will take another look at it and see what I did; thanks for bringing it to my attention

[@donfox2067]

Love what you do, keep it up.

[@pyroscot]

Nice one dude been a minute since I've flown the F18. Pyro

[@TrickerDCS]

I miss you in the f18

[@alpenfoxvideo7255]

how do I switch from the F-16 to the F-18? is there a video that explains how to manage the displays and targets?

[@SQUID_2259]

hey my man great video. FOV on mavericks does not function when used in conjunction with the TGP. The FOV change from HOTAS will only work on the pod, not the seeker head when the SOI is changed. It has to be changed manually from the OSB's. Its always been like that but like you said, not sure if its a realism modeled in or a bug. Cheers!

[@TrickerDCS]

Interesting because my FOV changed on the maverick when I didn’t press the FOV button on the OSB.

[@SQUID_2259]

@@TrickerDCS yeah you’re right! Weirdness. Keep pumping out these sweet videos though!!

[@miklosnagy6233]

Good job

[@jordiburnat4830]

I have a question. How do you make your cursor visible to touch buttons? Pls tell me because i dont have any idea.😥

[@WilliamDeanPlumbing]

Is this being done in vr? Where it's one to one tracking hmd. Or with head tracker?

[@amalahama]

Hey nice vide many thanks! I wonder if it's possible to lock one maverick to one target, then step to another missile and lock it to another target, and finally ripple launch both pursuing different targets each, similar to what you did in the F-16 CAS video.

[@TrickerDCS]

Unfortunately not that I know of, atleast not like the f16

[@VVitchaven]

Ok You presented one type of Maverick. And how about the second , the IR one? How to use these? Im glad you show up in front of us bravo to you but it would be nice to explain how to use each type separately. We are not combat pilots...

[@TrickerDCS]

I’m slowly getting back into creating videos, I’ll keep this in mind

[@VVitchaven]

​​@@TrickerDCSThank You! And of course I didnt mean to offend You or something. Youre doing a great job. Im just irritated with a fact that developers of these modules create training missions which are useless. People have to watch youtube tutorials while paying 70 bucks for just a plane...

[@TonyB64D]

Nice.

[@TrickerDCS]

Rawr

[@calvyedits]

Anyone know why when I target depress, the marker flies away? the TPG doesnt stay where I locked

[@progoku196]

hey man, forget about the mirage 2000 guide, its been 3 weeks... can you make an f5e video on enigma cold war server?

[@TrickerDCS]

Haha I’m still going to make one

[@chrismcdonald5775]

negative Gs at 1:20. Enjoy getting coated in all the dirt and dropped skittles that were hanging out on the floor. =P

[@SportDCS]

How do I land?

[@potatosuc4950]

why are you watching this then

[@SportDCS]

@@potatosuc4950 because I'm stuck in the air and need help, step bro!

[@CueDriver]

Hornet gives more forgiveness in landings. Unlike the Viper and some others. Or get really low and slow, then eject.

[@AceDotBoogie]

I’m the one that flies a mile away and a Missile is coming because I want to get it off the rails 🤦🏽‍♂️🤣

[@TrickerDCS]

lol happens to the best of us

[@brianwills3871]

Didn't work for me....... Maverick remains in standby.

[@brianwills3871]

I've tried this probably 30 times now this is not working. Mavericks will not auto slew or release. I don't know if you are skipping obvious steps or if I just can't follow simple instructions. Seems broken

[@brianwills3871]

welp i scrolled though the comments and i see no ones questions are ever answered lol. Guess i will have to try somewhere else. thanks for content though.

[@brianwills3871]

ok, I think i found the stuff he was glossing over when he slews over the sa9 he must be pressing the target designate depress button then selecting the mavericks with the sensor switch then he must be pressing the cage uncage button that's the only way i can get the mavs to slew and release. had to watch another video to get that information.

[@brianwills3871]

to get the other info i was talking about i watched creech 3min maverick video.
