That would be awesome if they paid him to make the tutorial videos, and then they come up on DCS main menu page under tab called tutorial videos ..even if it was just direct link to video on here that just plays ....If they did not want to have favouritism in community then they could use different channels for each jet ..pick out best channels have each one creator create set of videos for each jet ..there enough jets to fill top channels of DCS there really not lot of top channel DCS so some could do two or three jets other games have done this and it works quite well it often indie devs small team dont have time to keep updating tutorial videos during alpha ...so they link community channels i think good way to bring community together too and makes the community feel little more connected to project ...

@@chefboyarb im no pro at this game but following guides and such i managed to learn how to operate the f15c in less than 5 hours of gameplay. It's not a complex plane and very good to start with. The radar quickly becomes easy to operate, as you will have to use it continuosly, you'll learn exactly where to look to get the info you need, in no time. Much harder is learning how to avoid missiles, situational awareness and high g manuevers while dogfighting, but these are things that apply to all planes.

For the tech geeks out there: the radar does not actually move. The hardware used is a phased array of wave guides. The RF signal is phase shifted to each element in the array in order to make the outgoing beam coherent in a specific direction. The beam is swept as described by Cap, but the hardware remains stationary relative to the aircraft. The tutorial is still valid. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phased_array#:~:text=In%20antenna%20theory%2C%20a%20phased,directions%20without%20moving%20the%20antennas.

Considering this is a C model, it's likely not an AESA/Phased Array. The original AN/APG-63 wasn't AESA, but the AN/APG-63(V)1-3 are. The old C and D models were retrofitted with the AESA radars relatively recently (as in the year 2000 in an Alaskan F-15C), but I doubt they are what was used in the DCS model. AESA Radars are beasts though. Easier to work on by far

I will guess the answer, so cmiiw. Flying low means flying in denser air, more resistance, and fuel consumption will be way higher. It will make your range limited compared to others in your unit/squad. Also it will be much harder to avoide missile due to the missile being sent from higher altitude has higher kinetic. Otoh, you will also have altitude disadvantage as your missile will have to climb and lose speed.

That would be awesome if they paid him to make the tutorial videos, and then they come up on DCS main menu page under tab called tutorial videos ..even if it was just direct link to video on here that just plays ....If they did not want to have favouritism in community then they could use different channels for each jet ..pick out best channels have each one creator create set of videos for each jet ..there enough jets to fill top channels of DCS there really not lot of top channel DCS so some could do two or three jets other games have done this and it works quite well it often indie devs small team dont have time to keep updating tutorial videos during alpha ...so they link community channels i think good way to bring community together too and makes the community feel little more connected to project ...

The radar quickly becomes easy to operate, as you will have to use it continuosly, you'll learn exactly where to look to get the info you need, in no time. Much harder is learning how to avoid missiles, situational awareness and high g manuevers while dogfighting, but these are things that apply to all planes.

Thanks for this! Just got my first kill in DCS at a range of 11 miles and I am now very pleased with myself. Your video was very helpful in understanding the system and the controls required.
For the tech geeks out there: the radar does not actually move. The hardware used is a phased array of wave guides. The RF signal is phase shifted to each element in the array in order to make the outgoing beam coherent in a specific direction. The beam is swept as described by Cap, but the hardware remains stationary relative to the aircraft. The tutorial is still valid. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phased_array#:~:text=In%20antenna%20theory%2C%20a%20phased,directions%20without%20moving%20the%20antennas.

Considering this is a C model, it's likely not an AESA/Phased Array. The original AN/APG-63 wasn't AESA, but the AN/APG-63(V)1-3 are. The old C and D models were retrofitted with the AESA radars relatively recently (as in the year 2000 in an Alaskan F-15C), but I doubt they are what was used in the DCS model. AESA Radars are beasts though. Easier to work on by far

Not sure if anyone else has run into this, but when you open this sample mission in the mission editor, be sure to change the skill level of the main plane to "Player" instead of client, so you can actually fly it ;-)

radar has come a very long way since the F-15C. airborne radar systems (most of them) are not mechanically driven anymore. welcome to the world of AESA radar technology. where you don't need to worry about taking small slices. AESA radars are electronically driven by changing the phase of the RF emitted from the hundreds and thousands of TR elements within the fixed array

Hitting an issue - at around 10:20 you describe the radar bit, but when I do that and hit Target Lock it bounces to another potential target.... any ideas?

Thanks Cap!!
HELP! sometimes a series of empty boxes appear on a vertical line like if it was a target but i dont understand what it is since it ocupes all the vertical space but looks like a target
Great tutorial Cap. I have been familiarizing myself with all those controls in the grinelli f22. However I seem to have huge problems seeing anything past 20miles. Even over open water, civil big jets (even E-3s), I do set the range, also the elevation, (even if I cheat in F10 and look exactly where the target should be, altitude and right of my nose, hot)... No dice. Any idea what might be going on? Cheers! Love you guys videos btw!
Which can lock targets from farther? TWS or RWS? The F-35 mod that is out uses the F-15C cockpit and radar, and I see ppl in the F-35 locking and taking ppl out at 100-120 miles but yet ppl never show up on my radar when I use the F-35 on RWS until like 80 miles or so, should I be using TWS?

So I just got back into DCS and was on the F15, i was locking target with amraam firing missiles yet they weren't hitting the target. I fired an amraam at mach 1.5 only 8 miles from the target looking straight down at him yet it didn't hit. I realized that none of my amraams are even trying to hit the target regardless of whether I track the target until it goes pitbull. Am I missing some new requirement that you need to do before your missiles can actually track a target?
I think I did watch 10 vids on the radar in f15c, and I still have issues with locking helos in the Helo Hunt mission, I have it on BVR in rws, then I turn on tws and its not showing anymore, and I can't find it, when I find it I can't lock it, there are some other modes for radar on keyboard 3 and 4 and 6 so I am lost all the time which is what, and when I lock the target I am missing lots of the shots with fox3s and fox1s, and I can't never lock multiple targets or switch between them easily, my results ale absolutely horrible, is the radar in vipers or hornets better than this one?

I will guess the answer, so cmiiw. Flying low means flying in denser air, more resistance, and fuel consumption will be way higher. It will make your range limited compared to others in your unit/squad. Also it will be much harder to avoide missile due to the missile being sent from higher altitude has higher kinetic. Otoh, you will also have altitude disadvantage as your missile will have to climb and lose speed.
