I'll probably never get the hang of half the things this plane can do, but it's feels good knowing it's all in there. An amazing example of the simulator's art, keep those clips coming thanks.

Though I think DCS doesn't need any new planes right now, what really it needs to do first is to solve its old problems: physics, radar and RWR simulation. We can fly a variety of aircrafts but their radar/RWR simulation still runs that old code from the 90s...
@olivialambert4124
@olivialambert4124 6 жыл бұрын
I've been watching the F-14 like a hawk. I'm probably an odd one preferring the 18 to the 14 but since we can buy both this is going to be an incredible year. Plus with the amount of outstanding flight hardware coming out this summer I've never been so excited. I wasn't even this excited for the original A-10C, and that was a time when the only other realistic simulations were Falcon 4 and Black Shark in the FC2 engine so that has to be saying something. I feel like any more to come this year and I'm going to burst.
@deeplearning2552
@deeplearning2552 6 жыл бұрын
Olivia Lambert Falcon 4 is nowhere near realistic.. DCS too though. They really need to work on physics/rwr/radar processing instead of just spamming modules for cash..
@agostonbazmajer1100
@agostonbazmajer1100 6 жыл бұрын
Olivia: Yeah, it really is an amazing year. I'm way more excited for the F14 because of the two positions and it will probably feel like getting 2 modules for the price of one. Oh, and have you seen the new trailer? There was a hit that an F16 will be coming, as well as a Phantom. Those surely won't come out anywhere in the near future though, but based on that 2019-20 will be really exciting. (Not to mention how great the current period is for civilian sims as well, with X-plane getting all the goodies lately, like the FF320.) Oh, and what flight hardware were you referring to? The only thing I've heard is a Hornet grip for the Warthog. Deep learning: You have to remember though, most of these modules are developed by third party devs, so just because Heathblur works on the F14, ED could easily spend more time on fixing stuff. A memory leak is notoriously hard to fix from a coding standpoint, so i'd give them the benefit of doubt. Radar and RWR will probably never be better because the exact documentation for these systems are classified. For example, you can find a general flight manual for the Hornet very easily, but the details for the defensive systems are in a different manual and you certainly won't be able to get those, and even if you do get your hands on it somehow, you won't be able to place it in a commercial product. DCS is still has the most realistic system modeling for military jets, not having proper IFF/Radar/ECM is not the devs' fault. They certainly could work on the engine for a better damage system, that's for sure.

Ernest Aghimien unfortunately the F-18C doesn’t have color displays for the DDIs. They’re green and black, and that’s all you get. The MPCD in the middle at the bottom is color, though. The F-18C+ and Super hornets have color displays instead of DDIs which lets them put things in deferent color schemes.

Thanks Nightwolf for the info. I want to believe by the time the FA-18C is release, the DDIs would have improved. I see the A-10C warthog has green and black displays and color and contrast and so good. I am hoping FA-18C will get some touches in this area. Gamma is been poor.

How does the Offset mode work? Do you have to input only range and heading from a waypoint? If so, we can move in such servers with objectives on the ground only having a waypoint on bullseye and knowing O/S of the target from it, without putting in the coordinates right? :)

I love the tutorials, but as a beginner i find it difficult to follow along as much as I'd like to because there isn't much explanation as to why you input the things you do.. for instance, why did you input the 140000 into UFC for the TOT? Why in that format? In relation to zulu how? What does it mean when you input that number? This is the same for the previous videos, like why 130 degrees approach to the airfield? No idea why you put that in or what it meant. All in all, very great game and very grateful for what I'm assuming was a massive amount of hours to make all of these videos. Thanks!

Wags, I have a question for you regarding TOT and GRND SPEED. If you don't input the desidered ground speed for the last leg of the selected waypoint, the caret cue beneath the Tspeed shows you the early late cue in regards to that TOT. What happens when you select a GROUND SPEED? does the caret cue tells you the early/late information regarding the speed you have selected?
@MattWagner
@MattWagner 6 жыл бұрын
The speed entry is required to provide an accurate early/late cue. Without a speed entry, a valid cue cannot be given.

Great vid Wags, but it would be nice to actually see what you are clicking on. You should have zoomed in,and shown the pertinent instrumentation, and not the whole instrument panel. You know what you're doing,but it is your student who must see exactly what you're doing. Otherwise the video isn't needed, just an ineffective voice recording as in this vid. Always think of your students as empty vessels that you must fill in the most efficient method available. I being one of them.

326 indicated airspeed at 24480 ft as indicated by the HUD is a TAS of approx 462 knots already. Of course it can go faster. But don't be deceived by indicated airspeed. Also he uses 500 knots groundspeed for the target time calculations which is a realistic value for approaching an AO.
