DCS F-5 Air to Air Part 2 (Radar)

This tutorial is on radar and finishes my air to air series. I recommend reading the manual or viewing Chucks Guide on the F-5 for a better representation of the radar. Also I would recommend watching • 1 Minute DCS - F-5E Ra...

Jesus christ. How simple this explanation was compared to the in-game tutorial. I don't know who wrote it, but the way they explained how the range works by subtracting from the total and multiplying by 2... I couldn't make sence of it. As soon as you said it's just divided into 5ths of the total range, then it clicked. I feel dumb now. If they had have just said that in the tutorial, it would have made more sense I think. Both these tutorials were great. Thanks, Tricker!

[@TrickerDCS]

PIK haha thanks for the story and compliment, glad it clicked!

[@coreyballard8359]

These are really great, well produced and very simply explained. Wish you were still active!

[@TrickerDCS]

Corey Ballard appreciate the comments, I don't do KZbin streaming anymore but I do twitch, tricky_tricker

[@coreyballard8359]

Ah, I will check that out. The F-5 vids have been super helpful, would definitely be interested in stuff for other airplanes as well.

[@TrickerDCS]

I will be definitely looking at other tutorials for the future

[@coreyballard8359]

Nice one, looking forward to it!

[@FPSchazly]

thanks for these tutorials, tricker! i used to have the darndest time figuring out this convoluted radar and you've described it excellently, just for me to agree with your conclusion that it's not really all that necessary haha. happy flying

[@Wrahns]

Absolutely great tutorial, simple and concise. Just great, thank you very much Sir.

[@TrickerDCS]

Thanks for the compliment n

[@hansgold58]

Thanks Tricker, great tutorials. I am currently trying to master bombing and air to air to get started with online flying. All in VR, love it! Cheers from Amsterdam, Hans.

[@TrickerDCS]

Hans van Gulden thanks for the comments and good luck with this great airplane!

Nicely done. I need to get back in the F-5 and play around with my HOTAS bindings.

[@TrickerDCS]

Thanks Tyrant! I miss flying her, but the MIG-21 has been really fun this week :D

[@EaglefireflyGaming]

Soaking up those tips! Great video!

[@Name-ps9fx]

That little box behind the throttles (acquisition, TDC, and antenna tilt) would be very easy to make for a simpit!

[@Moose88]

Well done sir!

[@elthinar8092]

Nice simple video tricker. Any chance you could do some dogfight examples/instruction with agile opponents showing how to best use the radar guns

[@TrickerDCS]

I'm going on vacation but I do plan on this next week actually!

[@inf3243]

Good video - but it would've been nice to say what those advantages and disadvantages you mention at the end are!

[@TrickerDCS]

I have a bunch of newer f5 videos that you may find useful

[@yakMACyak]

I love you F-5 I don't know how to deploy flares so can you teach to deploy flare

[@TrickerDCS]

yakMACyak find the countermeasure release button in your adjust controls for the f-5

[@benjaminnevins5211]

Is there a good tutorial for setting up toggle switches without a second button position? On the Warthog, they are on/null. I would like to use null for standby and on for radar on.

[@Ostsol]

Curious, but under what circumstances would you even bother with the radar? In particularly: when would you use it to manually lock on to a target rather than just using dogfight mode?

[@TrickerDCS]

I always use the radar too lock onto a target while trying to guns him because the radar provides ranging and lead for your target.

[@algroyp3r]

necro, but the dogfight mode will lock to something... or not. Manual, you know exactly what you're locking and if it worked. It also helps you to search for planes in bad weather, etc. I do agree that the radar is not super useful, since the F5 has no radar missiles...

[@hejdu4480]

So why should I use the radar when the missiles work without it? Isnt it better to keep it stealthy?

[@TrickerDCS]

This was a demonstration if you wanted to use the radar

[@hejdu4480]

@@TrickerDCS I never used it bc I didnt understand it. Now I do, thanks for a short but still helpfull video

[@rinsatomi9527]

Hey Tricker! I believe I've found a workaround for the radar lock-on inconsistency. Please check this out, I've put a video about it really quickly. v=KHDOMx6xPVY Thanks!

[@joshcarr2229]

whats the fuking button?

[@springwoodslasher79]

You need to learn how to say hotas.
