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.

I love the effort ED has put into the WW2 stuff, it's brilliant. Interesting thing about the Mustang is that it was built by NAA specifically for Britain, and then afterwards for the Americans

[@ThomasHendrickson]

It was originally built as a dive bomber, and it used to Allison engine. The only British thing about the Mustang is the Rolls-Royce Merlin of the later models.

[@Emptywatterbottle]

severely under rated channel it's insane!!!

[@sensualchocolate4928]

This is amazing, I love flight simulators I've never heard of this until I saw these videos. So glad the algorithm suggested this channel.

[@TrickerDCS]

Welcome!

[@cuttheloop]

You're in for a treat :)

[@groundpounder0541]

I founds DCS the same way. 7 years strong now 🤘

[@sensualchocolate4928]

What do you play it on, I can't find it for Xbox, I'm guessing it's a computer game and not on consoles but any help anyone might give is greatly appreciated. Good fortune to anyone who may read these words.

[@ianleavitt8333]

​@@sensualchocolate4928 I'm pretty sure it's a pc only game unfortunately

[@Red-Magic]

Love it! Hope to see more WW2 and 4YA in the future, it's very entertaining

[@puppeteer4916]

That crash over there happens to me all the time in past few days :D While trying to take off with keyboard and mouse, while trim is taking me in ground. I got it down with a lot of practice, now i'm accident free day 3 :D

[@GW2Vids1]

Please more on tactics and numbers on how to fly the mustang in a dogfight (best turning speed, flaps, which ammo to use, bombing technique etc)

[@Red-Magic]

Would be nice

[@17VINCE]

I'm a seasoned dogfighter with the mustang so I can shed light on what I know there. The P51shines the most at high level dogfighting (over 18K feet). Maintain your energy with it. Get it to 300+mph and maintain that. It does not like to fight under 250mph. When in a turn fight, especially at lower altitudes I drop the flaps a minimum of 1 notch, no more than 2, especially when your a flat turn fight with a 109. Depending on how fast I'm flying and how I'm fighting I sometimes leave flaps up. Mainly when I am energy fighting at very high altitudes. At high level fights, I push it up to 300mph with flaps up energy fight bandits (usually escort missions). The 51 will take dives well too but be very easy on the stick and maneuvers. Its not a P47, so sudden pulls or turns at 400+mph almost always rip the wings off. Most 190 pilots know this and will lure you down in a high speed spiral dive to try and get you to rip the wings off. If i'm not right on him approaching 400mph and pull away and use my energy to stay above him. If he wants to fight, let him come to you and bleed off his energy, the 51 climbs quick with a smooth gentle pull back up to 2000-3000ft per minute climb angle. I dogfight more so than ground attack, so I run default ammo to have tracers. As far as fuel, if I plan on escorting bombers, I leave with about 78-80% fuel, use center tank for take off, and most of climb, leave 10 gals in it and switch to wing tanks. 10 gals for emergency return flight and sometimes makes the plane more balance. Atleast it feels that way to me. Once your at altitude run it at top of greens for best fuel economy( which i think is 35 inches manifold, and around 2400rpm.) Last, watch your oil temp and radiator temp on the climbs. I open my oil cooler and coolant rad periodically during a hard climb to altitude to keep it in the greens or slightly below. I hope this helps. Im no expert, but these are the things that i've learned fighting with the P51 daily.

[@friedrichnix]

Nice session. Makes definately appetite for WW2 and Normandy 2.0. Although... I'd fly German Side 😂 Nicely flown, Mr. Tricker!!

[@CheckSix]

It took milliseconds to make the decision to click on this, and I’m glad I did it is a really well done vid thanks

[@PappaBear_yt]

Talkin'bout jinx!... 😁😲🤯😉🤫🍻🍻🍻

[@cmdrsaigon6453]

Great video with a perfect ending! 🤣

[@sensualchocolate4928]

Considering, that a landing is in fact, a controlled crash, then sir I dare say jolly good, what what, bobs your uncle, wonderful landing lol. Granted, your plane isn't technically where it's supposed to be lol but it is not completely destroyed and is at the airfield, just more by the front gate than you know, the runway. Awesome video.

[@TrickerDCS]

They just need to send a tow truck 😁

[@sensualchocolate4928]

@@TrickerDCS lol, knock that prop back into shape and good to go lol. Awesome channel excellent video.

[@ryanpmcguire]

The most realistic thing is the radio voice filters and the age of the pilots.

[@eagle1_160]

I though the stutter was my system 🙃. so It's as MT issue then ? great video!

[@TrickerDCS]

Yah just a pesky bug

[@suecobandito8954]

Good video. Good lesson learned. Adjust your approach so that if the fan stops you can make the landing. On speed on altitude-landing assured. You did the doctor killer... You may have seized from battle damage, but you get the point. If unknown possible battle damage do the P.E.L. precautionary emergency landing. Ditch the SHB-as you saw, and take a position over the runway so that no matter what you can make the landing. Think it's a namby way out? Na-ah-space shuttle landings were all PEL's. Now they may start the approach at 150,000 ft, but the principle is the same. One big descending circle.

[@TrickerDCS]

Always learning in aviation. The overhead break was for entertainment more than IRL procedures as this was from a stream but valid points. Was a surprise when it seized up so dropped it in a field.

[@salamonej86]

Loved the video. Watching this definitely makes DCS WWII look alot more enticing to fly. May have to dust off the Mustang and normandy.

[@TrickerDCS]

Normandy 2.0 looks beautiful and runs great. Definitely recommend it

[@algroyp3r]

Was all this damage from the guy that exploded in the cloud? Seems like a 2000 lbs bomb went off. It looks like your engine died from direct damage.

[@horstweihrauch1]

Mustang strong

[@Pman353]

I wish I had the patience to learn WW2 planes😂

[@17VINCE]

Is it me or can you actually hear the bullet impacts from your cockpit?

[@chrisrh281]

Any suggestions for WWII servers in DCS? Ive never really seen any. I usually hang out in the Through the Inferno or 4YA servers. Callsign is Mustang.

[@TrickerDCS]

Wolfpack or 4ya Normandy

[@algroyp3r]

@@TrickerDCS so the only 2 that exist :)

[@DTMCRAZYGAMING]

Man nice bust kills…. Takes all my ammo just for one aircraft and they still fly off. Lol 😅

[@TrickerDCS]

Haha it happens to me too! Sometimes you get lucky and then other times the enemy plane has more holes than Swiss cheese and they laugh at you.

[@SPFLDAngler]

Also. There are still a LOT of people that don't use SRS. Many reasons why people don't or won't use it. So just yelling over coms doesn't do anything.

[@TrickerDCS]

I wouldn’t consider what I was doing as yelling; I was simply trying to pass along info that was pertinent

[@SPFLDAngler]

How can you have 100 players on a server when it's limited to 30?

[@TrickerDCS]

I think you need to recheck
