This is a new channel for me to share some videos for flight simulation, in particular Digital Combat Simulations and MSFS2020. I'm just having some fun. I am not an expert in aviation or military operations as you will notice in my videos. In fact I get shot down a lot :). Currently, I'm sharing my Liberation Campaign videos as I progress through the campaign. Videos are long as I take you through the whole mission.

    Just finished watching episode 5, this playlist really caught my attention, and now I really want to run my own campaign using Retribution. However, I tried to load the first turn mission in my own computer and have really bad 10fps (culling enabled). Did you run yours in a dedicated local server? Same machine? Or in an online rented server? What do you recommend to improve performance? Thank you in advance, loving the playlist and is helping me get into DCS and learn the F-16.

    I heard with the new DCS patch (2.9.6.58056) everything is running poorly and I've been monitoring the DCS Forum on this topic. My system tanks now too running these campaigns. I was only using the DCS multi-thread for the last campaign that I did and had great performance. For my earlier ones (prior to multi-thread), I was using a the dedicated server on the same system. Worked well.

    9:00 FangSong is not using Doppler spectrum for filtering ground. This is the reason it does not see targets below 600ft AGL. To defeat the SA-2 in DCS all you need to do is to get below 600ft.

    Hi, you mentioned dropping Flares. But they should have no effect on a radar SAM? Does ECM have any effect?

  • @shastasimulations9767
    @shastasimulations97672 ай бұрын

    No effect on radar with flares. The F-15 Countermeasures for early access doesn't allow us to drop just chaff. I believe the ECM does have effect, but there is argument within the DCS community that they do not.

    Another good one 👍 Did you know the M2k and Jeff have IR MWS too? I was unaware the A-10 had one. It's a neat feature, but fox 2 are so fast and close range that I don't know how much of a difference it makes. What do you think? Do IR MWS make a big difference in survivability in DCS? Keep them coming. Good advice for threat ID and defensive actions makes for some excellent YT content.

    For me, the manpad is easily the deadliest sam. The last time I got hit was literally today, and the last time I got shot down wasn't too long ago either. I hate how they will keep quiet so you fly over them and get comfortable. Then you die. I had that exact thing happen once, but instead of one, there were maybe 10. My wingman called it out, and flares saved me somehow. Edit: Even the manpad in your demo did the same lol

    Can you explain what you mean exactly by “orthogonal roll”? Maybe it was self-evident, but I’m not sure I caught what it is essentially/what the most important aspect of it is. You’re trying to make the missile make a corkscrew towards you because that way it can’t turn sharply enough to hit you? Great video series! Looking more! 😃 (Also FYI, the stress is on the syllable orTHAWgn’l, like Professor McGonagall.)

  • @shastasimulations9767
    @shastasimulations97672 ай бұрын

    Thanks. Essentially you are making the missile turn on three dimensions, which it is limited, by performing a barrel roll around it. Check out the video I linked in the description that gives better explanation.

    Perhaps you can demonstrate evasion with F-18 TALD decoys. I particularly struggle with SA-11 sites (4 launchers)in the F-14 with TALD decoys. The 11 seems to shoot down the decoys too fast before I can get in close for Mk 1 eyeballs and drop some 82's on the radar.

    @Shasta simulations Cool idea. subscribed to follow along a little thing you might be confused on. S-75 Divina is the Russian designation SA-2 Guideline is the NATO designation. You could include both in future episodes to make it clear that there is always two names for each type. the missile itself is called V-750 (1D) - there are often multiple variants of missiles for a given SAM type though, and they only have names in Russian. there is no such thing as an SA-75

    Are you sure about 32,800 ft being the max altitude for the SA-15? I definitely destroyed some using JDAMs dropped from lower than that, like 25-28k ft. Nice videos, subscribed!

    Ty :). As for the 32k max altitude, that's what I got from the resources. That does seam pretty high, but if you do the math at 7.5 mile range it does work. Likely you would need to be hovering directly overhead. :)
