I took the plunge and jumped into DCS. The 50% applies to select modules, and then GS's codes will apply an extra 10% of one of them. I picked up F/A-18c, F5e, Supercarrier, and FC3. After doing a few touch-and-goes and a carrier landing in the Hornet, I feel like I should have bought more of them, lol. Now time to order HOTAS and rudder pedals. I'm hooked. 😂

Just wondering. How would an F14-D would do against Superhornet?

7:20 - GS: "If I was anyone in those buildings I would immediately start heading home." 7:30 - Also GS: "We're going to go ahead and drop our tanks, by the way..." Jettisons an AMRAAM to fall on the unsuspecting civilians trying to head home.

Growling Endgame " We have enough Amrams for 3 shots, 3 shots only so we have to be care.....::drops one:: 2 shots, 2 shots only!"

"We are gathered here today to remember a brave DCS warrior. A pilot who never met an AMRAAM he didn't embrace or jettison when he really needed it. A Flyer and narrator who was never shy about contemplating his future as a missile ended his thoughts in spectacular explosions and aircraft disintegrations. Ladies and gentlemen, a moment of silence for our dear friend and brother, Growling Sidewinder."

I loooove Hornets, and Super’s are my favorite. It was really cool to see a BVR fight between the two. Seeing a merge would be sweet as well. Thanks GS!

Great video! I've been wondering about a match-up like this.

Thank you for making the ending Sound track longer!! The fight was awesome 👍

Another great vid from GS, the F18 is going to be my first plane once I get my set up. That death jumpscared me!

Would love to see the tacview of these types of BVR fights, Keep up the awesome content!

It wasn’t lost on me that you said not a lot of high buildings here as you flew towards the Burj. Intentional or not, hilarious. Great vid, the added commentary and vis aids compared to a year or two ago will help a lot.

"Not a lot of tall buildings are here..." Meanwhile the worlds tallest building is there in Dubai. Great content btw dude, keep it up! :)

Great video! As someone who is new to fighter jets and DCS it's always nice with videos that are fun to watch but informative as well!

i cant wait to see the Block 3 hornet.. that thing should be freaken cool!

amazing, thanks a lot, man I get really fun LOL, I really needed that!!!

Damn, that was a jump scare I was not expecting!

That AMRAAM is worth about 1 mil. $ so that's pretty nice gift 😅

If you do end up using the hornet for some carrier ops, you should do it at night! Maybe some top gun 2 inspired canyon navigation? I think that would look great cinematically speaking, also the night time carrier landing (assuming you survive) would be spicy…

"Once I do, we're going to the mer--," Another awesome famous last words moment. Even if you did defeat that AMRAAM, Anvil would've simply followed up with more. There was no way you were going to make it to merge. I hope the weather in AMRAAM City is nice.

Such a cool ending man, another great vid. Loved that.

Great video as always. Nice info aboit the radar (20 degrees scanning), did not know about that, thanks for explaining these things. In yesterday's video, the bandit "over-ruddered" ot something like that way. As I can't visualize that or completely understand what happened, that would've been nice to see in the tacview. Thanks a million, GS for these videos. This is the shit the inernet wast meant for, not this other shenanigans we're getting nowadays.

If you only had one more AmRaam...

I've been waiting for this, now i sit back and enjoy.

if possible, more "missile cam" footage showing the end game would be great. Love to see those seeker heads sniffing to the right and left for a trace of its prey.

I just finished watching Top Gun Maverick for the second time, so this video release timing was PERFECT!

Really missed a “hold this AMRAAM for me my dude” opportunity!

Nice jumpscare, and the driving beat, as well as showing the victorious pilot.

Hey man, thanks for that AMRAAM!! I didn’t really need my back patio anyway!

I love how you finished this one off with a loss.

After years of following you, I still learn so much. Well, I am a slow learner so the repetition definite helps. Perhaps one of the most useful elements is your consistent referals to the MFDs, switches, dials and knobs and their functionality. Serves as a useful reminder as to why such elements are so useful.

oh men, you are in my mind. I always wanted to see a fight between these two. Although i dont know how good they are modeled in DCS

Hey man! LOVE your videos-keep em comin’!! I thought I once saw you did a video on the use of the switch (on the f-18) that enabled the pilot to use an extra percentage of emergency thrust. Do you have the link to that video? I’d like to use this concept in a scene of one of my books I’m writing (it’s a CAF CF-118 but hopefully is credibly accurate). Would be great to get your input on this, bud. I’ll be sure to include your name/channel in the books credits as well. Guaranteed. Tks.

Hey thanks for the AMRAAM. I put it on my Cessna 172.

Did I see you employing skidding in that last attempt at defending? Using opposite rudder from roll to cause the aircraft to skid in a less predictable manner than if you had used coordinated roll and rudder?

yes, I was mostly trying to bleed airspeed but notch at the same time.

That ending was dope

I think that it is most hilarious that he was so calm about just dropping that missile on those people and also the fact that he wasted a perfectly good weapon. I would want to die at that point.

GS dropping them synthwave tracks now

Do you always use bypass for CMS? Or do you have a go-to program for semi auto chaff/flares?
