F-5 is, in my opinion, one of the best modules in DCS, and my go-to recommendation for newbies. It gives you all of the simplicity of a trainer with the fun factor of being able to mix it up with *better* jets. The F-5 *will* make you a better pilot. Can't recommend it enough. =D

Great to hear because I'm a complete newbie and I decided to get the F-5 because its one of my personal fav non-modern aircraft, and it seemed like it would be a good trainer and more fun than the SU-25 It's definitely more fun than the 25, and I've loved learning it so far

I used to work on this plane in Cold Lake, or at least the Canadian version. The guns were the M39A2 I believe. We actually had to physically cock the guns at the arming point before takeoff to charge them otherwise they would not be able to fire.

To anyone who has this plane and has not flown it at night, I highly recommend it. Out of curiosity I took off at dusk and flew around for awhile till nightfall with a new moon. Then I couldn't see anything. Not having fancy nav instruments and having my location hidden on the map when I can't see airports or landmarks I take for granted during the day is mighty tense. Finding the runway and landing feels miraculous. The look of the cockpit at night is really cool too.

"If I wanna crash in the sea, no one's gonna warn me not to, I'll just go and do it" lol On a more serious note, I absolutely love the F-5 as well. It's the first module I bought because you were talking about it in one of your older vids saying how it's a high-fidelity model but still super simple and easy to learn. And if it wasn't for me hearing you say that I probably wouldn't have gotten into DCS. So thanks, Cap!

After much research, I chose this plane as my first purchase (actually, I bought the P-51 at the same time). I absolutely love this plane. Cap is right on the money with pretty much every assessment. I'm still pretty new to DCS World, and I'm having a ball learning new things about this plane every day. It has exactly the right combination of "easy to fly" but "will kill you if you don't pay attention." It's a perfect balance between "high-tech" and "seat-of-the-pants." It's simple to just get in it and point it in a direction and go, but it's also got a lot of depth to it, much attributed to the lack of systems. For example, if you want to navigate you have to actually understand navigation, but at the same time you can just point at an enemy plane, flip a couple of switches, and pull the trigger. What a great first purchase. "It's terrible at everything but still awesome" is about the best way to sum this plane up.

Supposedly the F-5E is also capable of carrying and launching AGM-65 Maverick missiles, but this is currently not implemented as the developers could not find how the AGM-65 missile feed was integrated into the radar display.

F-5 is a Hoot to fly. I flew the T-38 in UPT 30 years ago. Flying the F-5 in DCS is closest I have come to those thrills years ago. I am new to DCS (a little over a month) but I am hooked. I also have the F-18, Huey, Ka_50 and the Flaming Cliff planes. The Huey and F5 are my favs. As far as pure flying (not combat) it is a very hard plane to fly well but I love the challenge. Thank you Grim Reaper for all your content.... It is best mix of DCS information and entertainment on youtube.

@JD96893 3 жыл бұрын
Didn't know the Chilean F5 was that capable, i live in Chile. Also yes!!! That would be waaaay cool! But unfortunately due to the way DCS works with many modules based on planes still in service and therefore hard on get details on, and also in part due to how many different systems would need to be implemented on different models of the same plane make it very unlikely :/. Maybe if DCS was more main stream they would make it happen, Mig21 also has some really cool upgrades, but at the end of the day these businesses are out to make money and I don't think too many people would buy these new "module upgrades" I guess you could say. Also they would be expensive to make. They would also probably have to charge a hefty amount and ofc there is the problem with getting details on said module which would be very hard. I would definitely buy it though!!! Even if it was almost the same price as the original module! Or just a completely new module.

With the release of MS FS2020 upcoming and upgrading my hardware for it (along with purchasing a good HOTAS and pedals), I’m looking for a good starter module for DCS as well. I tried to get into DCS with the KA-50 years ago, and it threw me in the deep end without mercy. Truth be told, it was so overwhelming and discouraging in its complexity it turned me off DCS entirely. I’d like to try to get back in it and this looks like a good place to start. I only hope this isn’t as hard as the Blackshark as I do badly want to be able to play this sim and move on to all the other modules.

Also, the radar scope is bugged and normally doesn't look that bad: forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=227617 . Finally, I'm looking forward to when you get to the Mig-19. I've had my eye on it for a while, but I'm hesitant because of some of the issues it had at release.

The only thing that bugs me with the F-5 , when flying outside of VR and even then it’s difficult with screen door effect, is the inability to easily read the trim(?) gauge tucked under the shroud of the front console. (Left side). PS. Not sure if the gauge is a trim knob. All I remember is it’s essential to be able to read it. Could be the fuel tanks balance.

Pretty sure it's trim, just ignore it, pull stick a bit harder and trim when level flight. ;) It's also bit annoying to read with IR tracking, zoom helps a lot though!

There seems to be quite alot of controversy around this aircraft. To me, it is a great basis on which to learn air combat and to recreate USAF Aggressor ops however a beefed up version of this with some retrofitted displays or a more advanced radar would be killer aswell. Great review anyway 👍🏼

I really love this plane but sadly there is no european cold war server that I can get a good ping on. Would you do a video and try to take this thing on a regular PvP server and see if you can kill anything modern? :-D I mean in theory you should be able to sneak in super low to bypass all that BVR stuff but you still have to engage. Super fun playstyle with the SU-27 but the F-5E is nowhere as capable as the Flanker so I'm wondering how that'd work and if a good pilot can actually make it happen :D

The ejection handles on the seat don’t work oddly. At least I can’t get them to work. But the seat adjustment toggle does
