This channel focuses on combat flight simulators like DCS World and IL-2 Great Battles. If you play either of these games or flight simulators like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and enjoy aviation and dogfighting then this channel is for you. Even if you are coming from War Thunder and BF2042, you can learn to fly these combat flight simulators.
I play using TrackIR5 and do not use VR, this means that I am able to capture footage for tutorials, how-to-guides and other multiplayer tips and tricks video in 1440p.
Eagle Dynamics has made it easier than ever to learn DCS because the game is technically free. The game has the F-15, F-16, Su-27, Mig-29, Mig-21, Mig-19, Mig-15, F-86 Sabre, Jf-17, Mirage 2000, F-18 Hornet and F-14 Tomcat. There are soon other modules coming such as the Mig-23 and F-4. Lastly, there are helicopters like the Mi-24 Hind and AH-64 Apache.
The same is also true for IL-2 Great Battles. With Battle of Stalingrad, Battle of Kuban, Battle of Bodenplatte, Battle of Moscow and Battle of Normandy being released, there is an immense amount of variety covered. The Bf-109, Fw-190, P-51, Tempest, P-47, Mc.202, Stuka, Ju-88, He-111, and so on are all in the game. I focus on making videos to make that part accessible so you can dive into IL-2 Multiplayer.

    I mean all I keep seeing is people saying to turn off the F4 radar to make it playable. This works to a degree but there is something wrong because even with radar off the F4 still drops to a very low frame rate near enemy planes. It's like the proximity triggers something in Jester and he swaps our your PC with a hamster wheel.

    Good summary of no-lock boresight shot (please, it's NOT a FLOOD shot - that's a Eagle thing). But one thing not mentioned is that since the AIM-7 is guiding on the reflected CW energy from your radar, you have to keep the target IN THE PIPPER with the radar in BST until the missile hits. Easy on a head or tail shot, might be tougher on a beam-ish aspect. Basically, this method turns the Sparrow into and expensive beam rider. This was considered a real low-Pk shot in my days in the jet. It made you too predictable for the missile TOF. But if it works in DCS, why not?

I lost the lock. Maybe the pseudo flood mode will help?

Context button is mostly shortcut to lock enemy in front of, of course useful but very basic improvement which already should have been in F14. Would also not quite calls it niche cause for now, it gets crushed in PVP. I and my friends becoming more and more confident in making the statement that this jet just sucks, specially in pvp compare to the others. Of course in the beginning we just assume we don't know module and others, but now we know it quite good and in "real life applications"/pvp, not 20k feet intercept, it sucks. Would also like to add that we are not some new guys hyped to fly old jet but DCS players with more than 7k+ hours in some cases and knowledge of mostly all modules and its mechanics. I'm very curious how it will be developed and most probably buffed.

    I added a line of keybindings to my config and i can change the aspect knob now without switching to the WSO seat. The advantage is that you dont lose situational awareness anymore but getting a reliable target on the radar is still a challenge. 90% of all redfor are flying below 100m constantly which usually prevents the aim7 shots anyway. in a dogfight you need to get on their six to let one out, even then the time is not enough and the closure rates are wrong so you wont see a good target on radar anyway. The only way i managed to kill people with aim7 on ECW is by sneaking up on them or as this video shows baiting them to some altitude and getting a nose shot out.

    so the aspect knob just sets the speedgates to a fixed value (relative to the plane?), and the graph lookup thing is the guesstimation as to the closing speed?

  • @Enigma89

    @Enigma89

    Ай бұрын

    The aspect knob sets the speed gates. The range of that gate is dependent on the formula that was shared. The graph then translates those parts of the speed gate with the enemy's speed and can give an estimation of what the aspect (the far left Y axis). This should help you translate what you see (the enemy plane and aspect) to what knob selection you should see. The aspect of what you see, of the enemy plane, is a good indication of what the speed could be and then what aspect knob selection you should make because that way the estimate falls within the range of the speed gate

    Yeah if others are having the issues I am It's not lack of awareness or difficulty with radar, it's frames dropping to low single digits (with radar off) once you are near anything and you legitimately can't tell what is going on. When that happens I can't even get a lock with heaters. Been playing ECW with A4, Viggen, and F5 with no issues. Switched to Viggen today and did fine. F4 is fine offline, no issues using any systems.

    Isn’t it easier to just hit “cage” and then press the “auto-acquisition/nose wheel steering” button when the bad guy is inside the reticle and within 5 miles? Why would I use this mode instead considering I’d have to change seats and select aspect and such. Is there an advantage?

  • @Enigma89

    Good question. The auto acquisition mode is trying to find things but it can sometimes not grab what you want or nothing at all. The aspect button basically is telling the computer hey look for a bandit that's heading at this aspect or this closure. If you can see the guy and you know you are closing in very fast then you can hint it in that direction and it limits what it's looking for.

You have to tell the sparrow what doppler window it should search. If you dont like it, you dont have to use it. You can spam HB to improve jester and give us vital jester commands for radar like command into bore, command for aspect, command for range up/down and so on.

But you are a solo video game player, in order for the module to be playable as ONE player you have jester or you can switch to the back and switch knobs as you want. There is nothing exploitive about this. I would not be surprised if HB adds this command to the front seat.

    It's early access. But, it's early access done right IMHO. The F4 as a project is massive in scale because of how many variants there were. So, at the moment you get an F4E, without all the weapons they plan to release, but with MORE than enough to keep you busy, and without game breaking bugs as well. At no point have I felt that there were 'holes' in the product, unlike many other releases (F16, F18 for example). If you're even remotely interested in the F4, I personally 100% recommend it.

    They need to make Jester do his job properly and find targets and IFF them. Petroviich does it great. . Switching places in cockpit back and forth to flip a knob is too much and kills the immersion. Mirage F1EE has been dominating on Contention server with 530Fs. I know what it's radar is not really modeled, but this simplicity works for me. At the end of the day, I don't want to be at disadvantage by constantly messing with the radar, as if this is an F-16, hence heads down. I fly cold war to feel the actual plane , not do Calculus math for the radar. Even at 30000 feet, I was bagging Phantoms in Mirage F1EE with extreme ease on Contention server. Phantoms don't even fire back until the merge, most.of the time and it's never a sparrow. What's the point of Jester if he is useless.

  • @Niko-qs1sl

    Yeah you've nailed it. You can not really have the simplicity of monkey see, monkey lock and have a well modelled cold war era radar. If F1's radar was modelled half as well it would be also quite difficult to make out target behind the clutter. The problem with it as its implemented right now is that the ground clutter is artificial. Then additionally to this, the 530F's are basically Fox1 Meteors. So the radar over-performs because of lazy coding and Fox1 outperform because they track like hungry hounds. It's a shame really :/

    Yo ligma, fix how TK pen work on game, I wracked up 110 points, somehow, something about killing a farp? I don't even know how, some AI? wut?, and 1 mayyyyybe 2 FF incidents. Never got any warnings or anything. The game may have booted me to spectator or from the server as warnings, but I don't remember that happening. And if it did I probably thought it was just DCS being DCS. TK system should give you warning when you take off, or the first time you set picture to automatic. Only time I actually killed someone who cared, I said sorry and they said it was all good. Every other penalty I honestly have no idea about. Also why do I have to set picture to automatic every time and hit shift + backslash twice - every time And why do I get a penalty for being a 'noob'? Like I haven't played recently but I have quite a few hours on the server over the last couple of years. TK pens need to decay if your actually killing ground targets and air targets like I was Its rubbish that I get a multi day ban when idk 5% of all the stuff I killed on the ground was friendly and maybe like 10% in the air was friendly it should be based on a % of total stuff killed not all this esoteric well regarded garbo nonsense did the same dude who coded your tk system also code the il2 scoreboard its pretty obvious why he cant get a real job coding like an absolute munchkin
