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.

[@av8or4951]

I've done thousands of engine runs in Block 30 F-16s and wish it was this easy. LOL

[@subis_n_metal8149]

Same here, but block 25's

[@Danlovestrivium]

@@subis_n_metal8149 Block 25s and 30s are the best! Then I had to go to the soulless Block 50s and I missed everything about the character of the analog 16s. Great times!

[@subis_n_metal8149]

@Danlovestrivium it was nice on engine removals to not need red rails. But, the whole analog flcs was tough. Most of our guys fresh out of run class didn't know how to do flcs bits. So it took the more experienced run bodies to chase every engine run that the new guys did. By the end of the night, we had reaccomplished 6 to 10 engine runs, sometimes more. Created alot of work for everyone that wasn't fresh out of the class haha

[@Danlovestrivium]

@@subis_n_metal8149 The analog flcs gave a much greater ability to fault isolate when troubleshooting over the digital flcs. Truthfully, digital flcs caused avionics guys to get lazy because all they'd do was swap out the Digital FLCC whenever there were flcs errors. Swap the same box twice with no positive results and they're stuck. Yes, analog took a greater level of understanding by the specialists, but that's exactly the job of the NCOs to provide and once you got it, you could troubleshoot flcs issues much, much more quickly on analog than you could digital and it was highly rewarding in terms of job satisfaction. But you had to be in the books even at home to get there.

[@smtxs9274]

I've seen the experienced ones doing it like it's nothing. Mf had been flying for 15 years and looked bored while we were doing the runup

[@Chlosephene]

To anyone who’s just starting and feels overwhelmed, it’s okay. Just go through and start up the jet a couple of times, I gets super easy after a while and you can do it while your brain is off. I took a 9 month break from dcs and when I came back I still remembered how to start it up

[@WillieLEdney]

Awesome I am use to this it's good to see it again slow down for the neophytes

[@TrickerDCS]

[@0Ignition0]

Just to add something minor. Master lights in AC, steady while the jet is not moving. Flash and taxi light when taxiing to runway. Master on norm, steady and landing lights before entering runway. Seat arm sohuld be armed before entering runway.

[@TrickerDCS]

Good stuff, but can’t fit all into a 60 second short unfortunately

[@debbiestimac5175]

Also where is the command to get the ground crew to place and pull the pins on the emergency power unit, the one that spews corrosive liquids if you try to shut the Viper down IRL without it pinned. If you were to land it alone, you would have to get out of the jet and pin that unit before shutting down and get out and pull the pin before taking off.

[@stevenwest000]

😂

[@egberthigglewonk4520]

Not sure about F-16, but in real life going that fast you'd likely blow a bunch of breakers & get an unpleasant visit by the groundcrew chief

[@VladimirChibuckov]

Bro, just crawl into the hole in the back of the plane and you're good

[@TheRealBaDaBingDK]

@@debbiestimac5175 You don't have to pin it. You do it so you can't activate the EPU by accident. Actually a lot of pins need to get pulled before flight if you want to go down the "pin" road. Along with ground crew checking the engine temp and all the different pressures and oil levels.

[@donlarocque5157]

Reminds me of the movie 1941. When Ned Beatty figured out the 40mm gun from Dan Aykroyd.

[@giftedcracker]

Not sure about DCS, but in a real F-16 you need to make sure your engine feed is in norm also before you hit start 2. And make sure your accumulators are at 3000 psi

[@gam08e85]

You're supposed to do that in dcs too but the engines never fail so it's useless
