Hey thanks for the feedback! Good points. I didnt include the Aermacchi MB-339 since IndiaFoxEcho is working on the paid version. Last time I tried to get the MB-339 I got some script errors and I had to go inside the .lua file to fix. I thought they dropped support for the free version. Will have to take a look at the T-45 and Pucara mods thanks

@@Sandboxcode RAF and Bronco soon and more by Split Air Team ;)

Pucara sounds interesting

@@splitair-dcs Hey this is awesome to see you here!! I loved the trailer you just uploaded!! Cant wait to try it out. Thanks for stopping by!!

@@Sandboxcode thx for your support !

dont eat and mod your pc like the rest of us!

May sound stupid idk, but im downloading dcs, i havent watched the vid yet, do you know if the mod called fc3 is free and how to download it?

@@FlightSimKidthecoolone Flaming Cliffs 3 is not free.

Thanks! Also, keep in mind video is over a year old. Other 100% free mods released afterwards but its impossible to update a YT video

Where you find the f15ex and f35?

Yeah this was my most popular video by far

Awesome!! Thanks for subscribing and your comment

@@Sandboxcode 600🥳

@@mrflandoor I just noticed this is very nice🤩!

Oh and Bronco mod OV-10

Thats the 1st time I've ever heard that! I really appreciate it!! I'm always so jealous of other youtubers like that "HIP games" fellow haha

Yeah those are great choices to look into. THe C-130 is being turned into a paid module but the mod still works fine. And the Black Hawk is super sweet too. Both can be played on Grey Wolf server (and maybe others) if thats your thing too

@@Sandboxcode I like story, PvP, PvPvE, immersion hardcore, role playing, handcrafted missions played within a reasearched context explained in a few lines... Simulation alone, solo, only to learn or yea, sure SP campaign... Turned into payed module, wow. Wondering if DCS will allow c 130 to become a tool to transport troops or APC ... I wish DCS could connect to Arma or another experience...

I have it installed here: DCS\Saved Games\Mods\Aircraft\UH-60L. But havent tested with latest DCS version. Havent heard that it stopped working though

Yes, they should work with the Steam open beta version. Some might require FC3 module if you're trying to use the Air-to-Air version (like the Gripen). Make sure to use the A/G version of the mods if you do not own the FC3 (Flaming CliffS) module

do you made any progress ?

hello, where can i download the Pucara?? i dont found the link, and the link of the M339... have you got it? too

@@AlexAB_57 the mb339 is going to be released soon from india foxt echo

@@erik2494 but It have a free versión of tricolori virtual..

@@AlexAB_57 you have or you had? Cause they haven't updated that verison since 2.5

@@erik2494 sorry, I meant that the "mb339 have a free versión..." I don't have any versión of the mb339, I am searching It

dang man sry to hear. Its been a minute since I've flown the Gripen. Planning to do that soon. For now for a quick answer, hop into the Gripen Discord: discord.com/invite/nGVDPwqMsW

also the su57's body isnt showing up for some reason

Yeah its weird their discord invite has expired and their FB page is down. This man has ghosted us it seems

Yep, it appears the mod author really has bailed. Sadly, YT wont let me update the video so I'll have to update the video description with a link to his explanation here: forum.dcs.world/topic/242354-su-57-felon-efm-build/page/13/

@@Sandboxcode thank you very much for this info. I appreciate it.

Do you have the su-33? That mod requires either SU-33, SuperCarrier (which includes SU-33), or FC3 (which includes SU-33). Now- if you dont have those installed then you can only use the SU-30 A/G variant

Hey there. Did you download v0.4 .zip file? Should work if you just took the AH-6J folder and drop it in your DCS/Saved Games/Mods/Aircraft folder. I suspect you have some other module whose 14d trial has expired (but you still have it installed)

@@Sandboxcode Hey! Maybe my directory is wrong?? I have it as D:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft. I do have an F-16C and Uh-1H trial up and going (just did it last night), could those be it?? Should I try disabling those and then reinstalling??

@@Sandboxcode Ignore my comment!! I figured it out!!!! Thank you for the help! It was indeed my directory that was bad!!

@@chuggon7595 how do u fix it bc for me it says authorization failed and it says they will be disabled

I suspect its a mod like the M-339 which will not work unless you manually fix the lua script. Try applying the mod one-by-one? Anyway you can upload your dcs.log file someplace I will take a look!

Its been a month, did You get the brakes figured out ?

I'm also struggling with the proper mapping for left and right brakes. I wanted to use the thrustmaster t16000 see-saw for that but it does not want to map it.

Nope, that one requires the purchase of FC3 or F-15. This video is about 100% free mods that does not require the user to purchase anything

@@Sandboxcode OH

@@Sandboxcode I dont think the su57 is free.............. i tried downloading it

@@shr3dd3rbtw24 You are correct. There's a note in the video description I was wrong on that one. Sadly, I have no way to update the video...

For those two mods- you need to use the A/G versions (Air-to-Ground). If you dont then yes you will want FC3

@@Sandboxcode ok thanks

Or the Su-33 add-on

I don’t have fc3 and the a/a version is working good

Hard to pin this one down without seeing the DCS.log unfortunately.

@@Sandboxcode Oh, hi there! No worries, I already figured it out. I had to put it into the DCS directory that is under C:/ (something something)/SavedGames and not the one under E:/SteamLibrary.

yeah rip whenever you go to mission editor you cant actually fly the plane you are just spectating some ai flying

There's a note in the video description I was wrong on that one. Sadly, I have no way to update the video...

You using the A/G version? The A/A version requires FC3 module

@@Sandboxcode nevermind, i put the gripen in the wrong file

@@RifleRaptorYT Sweeeettt

Some do some don’t. You’ll need to check mod-by-mod. I believe it’s because many mods are based on existing code in official modules. In some cases, they will be based on, say, the SU25T. As that is included in the base sim you don’t need to have anything else. There are mods based completely on their own work as well. I stand to be corrected but these seem to be some of the more complete mods like the A4, the Hercules and the Bronco.

Thank you very much ! I've been searching for a few times

@@amisimon Yeah, the whole DCS experience is very user-unfriendly, at least all the admin-y stuff. I was finding it very frustrating but I’ve sorta learned how to cope because once I’m up in the virtual air, I absolutely love the flying experience. I find learning the planes is a steep learning curve but that’s why I run DCS and I find it extremely rewarding when it starts to click. The admin stuff? Not a huge fan, let’s say.

For which mod? The A-29B?

F-22 needs the F-15 module

@@Rockethead293 so if I want the f22 mod I need to buy the f15. Got it. There is a couple. Either one? What f15 pack do I need?

@@niteowl9733 you can get FC3 or regular F15

@@Rockethead293 thanks man! I might get a couple. As long as its my first purchase it's all 50%. The Atlantic with the hornet, f15 and I've always had a thing for the f16. I live close to a base and they used to use the f16s. There is nothing like seeing a bunch of them fired up at the same time taking off. That and I grew up on helicopter Sims. I remember getting the AH64 sim on my commodore. It came with a cutout that for over the keyboard. Almost every key was used. It took me almost a week to complete my first training mission. I was unstoppable even against fast movers in side 2 months. As long as I had hills near by that is. There was another one from the same company called F15 strike Eagle. Same type of cardboard cutout... that wasn't as gun as AH64 Appache. Was still cool. I didn't do to bad for a 9 year old. I still know how to fly in DCS. It's turning everything on and taking off in the old plane that throws me for a loop. That and landing the Russian jet. So many keys to learn... 🙁

@@niteowl9733 wow...commodore huh.....takes me back a few....that was my first personal computer ....a vic 20 lol 5k memory 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I agree which is why I was trying to say I've seen people think it can only carry cargo in DCS. But it is definitely possible to equip weapons on it. Sadly, a lot of players dont realize this can be done with the Hercules mod since the "C-130 AI unit" cannot be equipped with weapons. Does this make sense?

More importantly, it's doesn't have jet engines, so is not a jet aircraft.

@@Sandboxcode yes its the c130 spooky that has gun on it

@@takeoffwithjakesoft My bad that's a great catch! Thanks for the correction!!

The C-130 does indeed have jet engines.... Turbo prop engines are jet engines with a propeller. Thats why the engines are so small looking. I used to refuel them and F18c, Harrier, CH46 and CH53 helos. Im a Former Marine.

Sadly, the Bronco released after I made this video. Think this video is bout 1yr old now

Hey I thought bout making one but in the meanwhile checkout the one by RaptorDad Gaming: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d8xjrNh8rbfZc58.html. If I made a tutorial it would be longer then this one I think since I'd also want to show how to use OvGme. But for like 90% of the mods you're fine doing it manually

@@Sandboxcode thanks so much i really appreciate it

If the server has mods enabled like GrayFlag (C-130 and Blackhawk)

@@Sandboxcode Wanted to use the gripen with a friend of mine, i guess we will just create a private lobby. Thanks!

You tried the Air-to-Ground version? If you dont own FC3 module, you can only fly the A/G version

@@Sandboxcode im new in the game i dont have FC3 module

@@DcsMaster Yeah then you can only hop into the cockpit of the A/G version. The Air-to-air version requires FC3.

@@Sandboxcode I watched video again and u said it very clear but i didnt notice. Thank u very much

Only if the server has them installed.

@@tomaszwota1465 oh I see, I knew you could start with their free jet and buy the rest but it’s nice to see that their are other free options too

@@donk5058 there's also an option of running your own server and inviting other people to okay your mission. If all of your have the mods needed, it should also work. It's just the same problem as with running any server: you need a bit of bandwidth, etc. Some mods need FC3 or some particular airplane from it, like F15C. Some don't. Mod notes/readme will have that info, usually. ;)

nope, not the air-to-air versions. Those will require Su-27 or Su-33 or F-15C from FC3 for the A/A radar

That's a really good question. My impression was the mod maker felt like they could take it to the next level now that they're an official 3rd party.

@@Sandboxcode oh, I thought dcs was making from scratch for some reason instead of asking the mod devs
