DCS World F-16C Definitive Realistic Cold Start Procedure

Рет қаралды 16,422

Күн бұрын

Hello and welcome, Carbon here and I bring to you my definitive cold start video. I started these cold start videos over on the VFA 105 channel and have now made and brought my definitive one over to here. I am a Crew Chief of 15 years and am very familiar with launches. Over the multiple bases and blocks I've been to/worked, no launch was really the same. There's a baseline -1 checklist and then there are the location supplements to that checklist that vary base to base. Whether its performing SEC check before EPU or vice versa, big flight control movement checks before trim etc. something always differs, and that's the beauty of it. A realistic viper start can be argued to be really anything, as long as the boxes are checked.

Hey reflected, please see above comment regarding making your crew chief adaption available to all viper pilots other than in your latest campaign please 😉

@ReflectedSimulations 3 ай бұрын

@@Rogeroverandout61 it's about a 100 lines of triggers built into the mission. It's only 'available' if you play that given mission, it's not possible to 'take it out' of there as a separate entity. Bogey Dope has something similar with Voice attack though, that's not tied to the mission file.

Hi. Great video. Can you do a realistic use of exterior and internal lights and the meaning of the control panel positions. What to switch and when. Before start, start, taxi, takeoff, cruise, entry into combat, exit etc. Whatever isn’t classified.

@Carbon_715 3 ай бұрын

It's a good idea, maybe.

@marcho74420 3 ай бұрын

@@Carbon_715 just could not find much info. I know in commercial aviation the anti coll only flashes and is on from start of engine till after shutdown and strobes only flash. On when entering runway for takeoff till departed runway after landing. But the f16 has so many different modes. Hope you’ll consider it. Thanks

@brucesbmschannel 3 ай бұрын

I could do a video on this. I won’t describe the switches here since those are in the manual(s). In general, stationary, you’ll want strobe OFF, position lights bright/steady, taxi light off. Moving: Taxi light on, strobe on, position lights bright/flash. For a time, US F-16s needed to be in position 1 strobe on the ground or risk overheating the power supply. I don’t know if this is still the case. So position 1 on the ground. After lineup, turn taxi light off in reverse order (4, 3, 2, 1) when ready for run up. Cleared for takeoff, taxi light on in reverse order again. These are non verbal signals. Airborne, lead could use position A, or 1…and wingman use their position number (2, 3, 4). Also, lead can use position lights flash, wingmen steady. Joined up, wingman can “control” / request lights for their element lead as appropriate. At night, Lead should turn their strobe off, unless the wingman needs it. This reply is too long already to go into “combat” configs (CLOAK, DARK CLOAK) or NVG covert options…. Hope this helps.

@opsdcs 25 күн бұрын

this is great info, love it. working on a crew chief plugin that's independent from mission scripting (so it runs on any mission without changing it). I have a detail question: say you do left brake check. "movement - no movement". how is the timing here, do you immediately say "no movement" when left brake stops moving, or do you wait a few seconds? or is it agreed upon that everything is done in a 3-4 seconds "rhythm"?

i didn't get the brake movement procedure, can you please explain? Also probe heat on? i thought probe heat stays always as it is (auto) and starts heating as soon as the jet takes off, we only set it on 3 mins prior taking off and that's only when we expect Icing conditions

@Carbon_715 2 ай бұрын

Brake procedure is to check a side (left) by engaging brakes and watch the brake stack actuate on the ground. Then engage the right brake and the brake stack should not actuate...if it does there is a likely issue with the brake control. As for probe heat, again another local checklist that varies depending location. In theory it should turn on when weight on wheels is off, but test should be done irregardless. Icing conditions probe heat and engine anti ice would be on, from auto

7:30 Why did your HMD lag like that? I mean that it's not fixed to the center of the screen, but moves off and then comes back to centre. I really dig the effect, like some holo sights in arma.

It was a hiccup of using obs to record, frames were probably not aligning correctly giving that skipping effect. It's always smooth on my end

@delayed_control 3 ай бұрын

You seem to have skipped C&I UFC/Backup switch, leaving it in UFC before engine start. Is the radio backup panel still controllable at this stage in the real jet with the switch in UFC position, is this automated?

@Carbon_715 3 ай бұрын

That's a very good catch, no you cannot adjust the backup radio in UFC. It will however receive on the last freq or preset. The backup radio should display REMOTE in the event of the C&I in UFC and not a freq.
