Take your time Aerges! I'll be looking forward to fly this bird when you guys think its time!

Can we get a list of the planned armament for the F1 ?

What versions will be available at release?

Awesome!! Thanks, that is all I needed to know. Looking forward to learning it. I love radars with quirks.

I love you

Agree, his tutes are awesome!

Thanks! Glad you like the highlights, took a little while to add.

The highlighting is great, but I'd totally celebrate if the individual switches were highlighted as well. In some cases I had to rewind like 10 times in order to find what he's talking about just because the DCS cursors are barely visible on a 24" display. But TBH I'd rather ED would just fix the size of those. They were double the size until DCS went 2.x and I'm having massive problems since.

Amen!

In Clarkson voice: The Apache is brilliant, but I like this.

So, you spend a couple of days with the AH-64 and now it's time for a new module? How many modules do you "gimme dat" people can fly well?

@@theeltea I spent zero days in the apache. It's just not my vibe.

@@Enigma89 There is nothing to forget then, right?

It has a fascinating history

Why?

Right? Plus we know Aerges will put a ridiculous amount of effort into it. Look how much love has gone into the little trainer jet, the C-101.

@@mikedalgliesh1377 Yup. And time too.

When will it be available to buy ?

NGL, I bought it after I was blasted away after the umpteenth massive patch log, just because. Didn't even touch it yet as I'm not that much into trainers... but I'm totally excited for the F1 :)

@@CakePrincessCelestia mate the C-101 is a blast to fly. I like flying suuuuper low dodging buildings and trees. When you’re that low even a lightly-armed aircraft with, lets face it, not much use in a sim, it’s a BLAST to fly low and fast. You should try it!

@@CakePrincessCelestia C101 is such a great aircraft to train in. All you need to worry about is your temps. If you exceed an ITT of 830 °C for 5 minutes when flying the C-101EB, you'll get engine stall, and engine fire if you persist in engine mishandling. She flies like a dream, but not like some boring msfs trash where you're afk for cruise

Thanks Fortinero! Plenty more coming in the future.

Thanks 👍

Nice detail that the nose wheel raises up after the seat leaves

Totally never happened to me, nope, no sir.

@@RedKiteRender btw red kite, I'm currently trying to spread the word about gamepad use in DCS with other content creators as I want to get as many people into DCS as possible - even if all they have /can afford is a modest console controller. Would you be interested in a quick demo of what all can be done with a simple gamepad that has been set up correctly?

Honesty not got the time to take on extra projects at the moment, I certainly intend on sharing the good word, next time i do a controls video on an aircraft you've designed binds for. I'm amazed with how well you've gotten modules working on a mere gamepad.

@@RedKiteRender thanks so much! That already would help so much getting the good word of the gamepad out! If I don't already have a layout for something you're covering, let me know and I'll put something together

Mag 3 has teased an Su-17/20/22 for the past 2 years. 😉

Probably because no map exists for it. The PG map is just awful and does not represent the area where the majority of combat took place in that war

Thank you kindly!

Certainly open to it with other developers, Had great fun doing the Tomcat's Jester Lantirn, though working on rapidly changing development versions can be a little challenging

@@RedKiteRender i can imagine, but you’re doing a great job so far!

@@RedKiteRender just loved the highlight diagrams and general editing, I can only guess how much effort those must have taken, it is appreciated.

Much appreciated!

Looking forward to the module and Kortana Mirage F1 videos 😉

@@jr0815_aka_gulredrel Trust me, there will be some😊

Awesome, thank you!

Thank you very much!

Haha

Like step siblings should complete each other

Mirage 100%.

Glad it was helpful! Trouble with covering a foreign aircraft, nothing's in English!

@@RedKiteRender another thing is you could learn to communicate in French but you'd have to spend just as much time learning technical words.

@@RedKiteRender courage! we (frenchies) have do this every days for youtube tutorials and modules (as they're only a few french people with our passion and even less making tutorials!) ;-) it's not so hard , trust me. Some years ago, I couldn't translate an entire text, now I watch movies without subtitles

In all honesty it'd be better to get someone to dub my video, than learn it myself. I'd be too worried about miss-pronouncing things.

@@RedKiteRender The real hardship is doing it with Russian aircraft without switching to an English Cockpit :)

Underrated comment.

@@CakePrincessCelestia Holy shit hundred percent. LMFAO

HON-K HON-K HON-K

I think they just mean it doesn't do anything in DCS. The Mirage 2000 manual also states that it is not simulated, but it's still clickable and configurable and all that. Just doesn't do anything

That's down to ED to implement an actual IFF system in dcs first! The panel can be configured, it's just nothing is connected to it atm.

The only aircraft to include a proper (if still not 100% simulated because Mode 4/6 is tricky) IFF system is the JF-17, a lot of jets have a simple interrogator but basically none of them have the transponder simulated in any meaningful way

Yep, the in cockpit IFF switch amounts to an on off switch at best in all other aircraft. IFF is done on a dcs coalition logic level, not the aircraft itself at the moment.

Fox-1 Catching Enemy Now it makes sense!

🤮 But also, yes.

@@S3NTRY natiPls

Yep, sounds totally doable this is slowed down to explain. Without fancy computers or INS alignment you can get going almost as soon as the engine's running!

Should be this week.

I hope that it is like in many others, three clicks required to get activated. In ED modules it is three clicks same way as it is three Ctrl+E presses to eject.

@@paristo Didn't even know that since I try not to click it. 3rd Parties should totally adapt it if they haven't. And do the same with canopy emergency ejection things. Stopped counting how often I turned my Tomcat into a convertible in VR...

@@CakePrincessCelestia IIRC it was the C-101 that first time had the stick hided with the clicking on it. But it might have been first ED that brought it to mirrors so you can disable/enable mirrors by clicking them. And then there were few others methods like clicking the throttle as well to hide it. I don't remember who did the ejection seat handle, but at least in Hornet and Viper the three clicks worked there. The NVG cases etc should be in all as part of the cockpit operations. Example in many fighters there are map cases or metal plates/pouches to have paper maps. That should be part of the clickable cockpit where you get the large paper map front of you in cockpit. Clicking the kneeboard on 3D pilot knee should bring the kneeboard nicely raised and hovering over your leg for better visibility. The data cartridge should already be the thing in every aircraft that has one, so you load the file from the game save directory where player can have multiple owns. And of course the kneeboard thing for all mission data, laser codes, frequencies + callnames, ordinance loadouts etc should be accessible from there for all planes. Automatically synced with the mission and existing units, JTAC codes etc. The clickable stick, throttle etc are just begin. Now we have the Mi-24P clickable fan to stop it etc. I really hope that in modules that has more features like a coming Kiowa Warrior that has M4 and Smoke Grenades on top of avionics, that you could click them and get them in use. Click the wanted color and you drop the smoke grenade in that position from the door. Click the M4 and you get character aim the gun out of the door and you can aim and shoot with it like a Huey co-pilot sight or Mi-8 door gunner. In VR you just look around and shoot, and Track IR same way, others having mouse etc possibilities too. This whole clickable thing is really one great way to improve experience, ease the learning and make access to things just better.

I don't believe it can IFF interrogate.

@@RedKiteRender yeah a bunch of us on the cold war forums were looking into it, and based on what we found the concensus was no. But that actually isn't super unusual IFF interrogate in the late 60 and early 70s wasn't actually super common on fighter aircraft. GCI would just tell you beforehand
