The only reason I know how to use that $80 module is this channel. Seriously, everything I know about the systems in that aircraft, I've learned from your F-16 playlist. Thank you!

Self-guidance from launch without master vehicle assistance is a "Mad Dog", Self-guidance after half distance from master vehicle is a "Pit Bull". Great video though!

I'm new to DCS and I find Cap's videos explain things so well even I can understand them. I've been struggling with radar modes and how to fire AIM 120s. Thanks Cap for helping me. Incidentally it was you and GS that made me buy a gaming PC and an X52 joystick.

As usual Cap your vid is the only one to explain everything in great detail which answers my questions. Thank you for the hard work you put into your vids.

Thanks for another great tutorial! I always go thru all the tutorials for each craft but they are just not clear enough. These tutorials are invaluable.

So now that you have me dropping GBU-10's all over DCS (My first laser guided drop!) , it's AMRAAM time.

You are THE best DCS channel there is. Thank you! Your videos are so enjoyable to watch, and very much appreciated. 😎🙏🏼

Great Videos! They helps me a lot! 👍 Thx for your work!

The best tutorial about this topic i found. great job !

Great vid, very useful. Learning my way around i. the Viper for the campaign :)

Excellent video sir!

Many thanks and much love.

Great vid!

You never fire when you have friends around. True..got kicked from GS server cus my missile started following my bud as he overtook me 😂

Thanks for this now i will spamraam

I do think that it's possible to fire SST, thus guiding it all the way in (in BMS it is - maybe they'll implement it later)

You can also switch stations by using the Missile Step button, which is the same as Nosewheel steering in A/A mode. Lot easier than pressing an OSB tbh

very nice info thx

my understanding of radar activation range. 12:38 F16: range from ownship to target when AMRAAM goes active the F16 manual is saying the range between airplane and target at which AMRAAM goes active (pit bull). But you have to remember, this is BEFORE firing the AMRAAM, so the range between airplane to the target is ALSO the range between AMRAAM to the target. a very simple way of understanding: if you fire outside of this range, AIM120 takes Axx seconds to go active (pit bull) then Txx seconds to hit. if you fire within this range, AIM120 starts off ALREADY active (pit bull) and takes Txx seconds to hit, no Axx time to active. but weirdly i think it doesn't work, cause theoretically when your Axx goes to Txx, you should be right on the radar activation range but it keeps dipping down. maybe it takes a second for the aim120 radar to start tracking eventho it doesnt rely on the plane anymore.

Great tutorial, just a quick thing, the mode where you fire without locking in visual range and the missile immediately goes Pitbull is called "MadDog" Mode, the missile does not have an IFF interrogator so it may lock onto friendly in this mode

if i put as much effort into school, as i have in this game. i would be loved by my parents

yeah i think my comment from the other video still stands that it is significantly harder, or impossible, to notch a modern radar for any longer than 1 scan bar. I think it would be an interesting test to find out if how hard it is to notch and the conditions it would require.

Don’t you sleep? Great video’s btw, it’s a great help learning a new plane.

Only use bore side when there is no hostile in it love it xD

Great video. I think the SD10 seems to be a better missile compared to the AIM 120.

OMG - TLA (three letter acronym) overload! JSL (just started learning) TMK (too many keybinds) Might have to go back for some RNR in the yak (y'all kiddin')

3:14 These OSBs share functionality with your Nose Wheel Steering button on the Stick. If you press SHORT this button while you're in the A-A Mastermode, it will do the same as pressing these OSBs. Pressing it LONG should cycle throught the different types of missiles you're carrying. But someone said this function is not yet implemented. 6:09 Here the DCS module starts differing from Falcon BMS in Radar Functionality. I'm not sure if BMS has this Situation Awareness mode. At least I've never used it. In BMS it has the RWS, TWS, VIS (which I also never used) and STT modes. You cycle between RWS and TWS by pressing TMS Right LONG. In TWS the Azimuth of the radar scan is reduced from 120 to 60 degrees, with the sweep area centered at the Cursor (until it reaches its gimbal limits). And at least in BMS, if I switch to TWS while my cursor is on top of one contact, it will pre-lock that target automatically, and the next 4 or 5 contacts in range of my scan will be automatically set as secondary targets. I can toggle between these targets with TMS Right SHORT (or is it TMS Left SHORT, can't remember that at the moment. I'll have to check that in BMS). If you press TMS Up on the primary target in TWS, it will then fully lock it in STT. Pressing TMS Up on a locked target in STT will un-lock it but keep it as primary target in TWS (if you were in TWS prior to the STT) and pressing TMS Down in STT un-locks the target completely and goes back to the previous mode with no target selected. While in RWS you can also change the Azimuth in two different ways. One is via the Off-Screen Buttons on the MFD. You've already showed this method in previous video. The other method is with the TDC Slew. You slide the cursor all the way to either side of the screen and pass beyond it. When it crosses the edge of the radar screen, it will come back to the center, but this time with the different scan azimuth. By default, the FCR is enabled with 120° azimuth, when you cross the edge, it will cycle to 60°, and if you repeat the process, it will go back to 120°.

thanx cap.

Viewer Request: Differences between the AIM-120 AMRAAM models, like the, AIM-120A, AIM-120B, AIM-120C, AIM-120C-4/5/6/7/8, AIM-120D and so on and so forth.

Great video when i go to lock a target up using the TMS UP it does lock the target but lock on the space on the radar any idea what am doing wrong

Nice video thx for your efforts , humble opinion .... i would fire the 120C with a 20 degree Climp rate at 450knts or i would had a 5k Feet higher angles to help the energy of the 120C

i understand you wanna make the video short, but sometimes there are crucial button sequences that you rush or you don't say exactly if is TMS up or whatever since we cant see what you are clicking sometimes because you do it directly in the controllers is hard to follow some important functions and everything falls apart for those who really wanna learn these methods, when you are explaining different modes and what sequences or buttons to press just slow down and be surgical, anyways you have been a great help with so many aircraft´s that i have to thank you, how to change and lock an aircraft via STT is TMS forward short? , thanks tho

Hello guys. I have a question slightly off topic but related to BMS. I'm new to this sim and trying to work my way through it. I'm having a challenging time with the radio and all comms equipment in the cockpit. Do you have a training video just for the comms? Thank you.

Do you recommend DCS instead of BMS?

😎👍

How are you using the mouse on the little screen to move it? sry im a noob

What is the proximity fuse range of AIM 120 and MICA??

CAP!, As per every video you put out ... I hope, and I hope the rest of us do too, that you "ARE DOING VERY WELL!"

Hi, I have a question, can you tell me where the keyology is located on the button to log the target on the Aim-120 rocket radar amram I can't find and assign it?

Big question, is it possible to have a fire solution on hostile track acquired via data link (with no radar)? In that case You could use bore sight mode much more efficient and wont spike anyone informing them about your presence prematurely ;)

do you have to turn off the radar to fire in bore mode succesfully??

I need a beer.

Why don't they just link to your videos in the in-game trainings instead? Learned so much more from this video than the F16C AIM120B/C "training".

still waiting on that 'shoot' cue

how do you lock your target i literally can’t find out how to do jt

Put the dammed shoot cue in already. I'm fighting this jet and sometimes I wonder if I have the right shoot parameters and I don't have time to think about it too long. OK? Can you wrap your heads around that DCS?

how do i move the cursor?

Isn’t the amraam supposed to be able to hit beyond visual range? Why do I always see the target before he is within the amraams range?

Is there a way to get rid of that anoying delay between WPN release press and actual launch? Also the MSL volume dial (WPN in the F/A-18c as well) seems to only have on and off setting. If I start turning it down, nothing changes in the actual volume of lock tone until it reaches the treshold and goes completely off. Is this a DCS thing or am I missing something?

In regards to which is accurate...the NATOPS or DCS...I would lean to the actual document used for the real life aircraft

Huiii

I feel like my AMRAAMs miss a lot more with the F16 than in other A/C. Probably due to errors with the DLZ. ED will no doubt fix this, at some point.

How do u look into the enemies? On 6:17

I died of confusion 💀

Of these hat's which one is the least or not needed at all... i'm out of hat's because i at least need one to look up, down, left, right out the window and to inside panels, etc and I am using a T50 CM2. So here are what i see on the real aircraft grip/stick .... TMS, DMS, TRIM, CMS - they all require 4-way hat switches on the grip. i am plum out of 4-way hat's on the grip/stick (virpil T50 CM2 grip only has 4 4-way hats)... Unless i sacrifice my ability to view left right up down, which I just can't give that up since i am not using VR nor am I using a Track-IR. I'd really like to keep it close to the real F-16's and not put a hat that is suppose to be on the grip, over to the throttle. I'm filling up the throttle hats quicker than lightning right now anyway. I'm stuck, any help is appreciated!!!

Hey grim reaper at 6:15 how do you move the cursor because ive done all your settings and i cant make that radar cursor move

Do you really get a "shoot" que in f-16?? I think that the big circle just flashes also the box that shows the missiles sensor! not 100% sure though

anyone know why i can bind my triggers to zoom

is it just me, or is there no explanation here or in the the in-game training mission on how to ACTUALLY LOCK ON? Me so confused. I dont have the cursor i can move around on the left MFD. If I use the hat thats supposed to control it some lines show up and stuff, and one time it made them empty boxes allowing me to shoot, but....where do I start here lol

whats the radar lock button??? all im doing is moving the cursor around not being able to lock

So why wouldn't you use SAM mode? It lets you keep an eye on the other hostiles and doesn't warn the target he is locked, so at first sight is a better idea. Its not quite TWS (can't lock multiple targets in SAM as you can in TWS, but its part way there). Is it a more accurate/better lock in STT since the radar is not still scanning and is concentrating on just one contact? The disadvantage of STT is the target knows he is locked, and other hostiles could be sneaking up on you without you knowing where they are. Maybe you could do a video experimenting with the two modes to explore differences in range/accuracy/likelihood of target breaking lock? Thanks for the video as ever Cap.

Is pitbull used often in the European parts of NATO?

How do I lock the target

What button do you press when you lock your target on the crm at 6:15? I only understand how to move the cursor but i don't know what the "select" button is... Please help!

Cap how come your text on the displays is so much brighter than mine? Is it a mod?

Is the "F" Number on the lower right side of the hud the accurate distance to the target?

What is the reason to use an Amraam at this range compared to a sidewinder? I thought Amraams could go much farther than sidewinders but the way you made it seem, it was most effective under 10nm

New to DCS and having trouble firing AIM-120s. Master arm on. Tried targeting in both soft lock & STT, showing as diamond in the HUD with all the correct symbology, steering cues and ranging info, etc. When in range (about halfway down the box)I press the weapons release button on my X52 (bound to button 2) and nothing happens. Same in dogfight mode. No problem when selecting and firing sidewinders using same button. Have I missed something or is it a bug? (pun intended).

How to move and lock the target on the left screen?? SOS

what the radar controlls called in settings? i mean the lock, up, down and more...

is 5-20 nautical miles the effective range of the AIM 120? I thought it's max range for the C variant was about 50 nautical miles?

What to press to lock a target on the radar?

hey, who should i buy first. F18 F14 F16?

how can i shooting?

Sorry to sound stupid or dumb, but what button is it to lock onto a target with the FCR?

Do you always have to use mouse klick as you do? Cant u just use 1-2-3-4 buttons etc for choosing weapons etc. Its to advanced for me to use mouse klick on everthing.

I got lost at 6:04. No idea how to move the cursor on left mfd to lock target :(

Question: If I press the dogfight or the msl override switch, I cant get back to AG mode by pressing the corresponding button on the UFC. Also selective jettsn doesn't work. How can I get out of this? Thx guys :)

How do you move the cursor? I'm stuck

Whitch one command one can use to unlock the target?

Boir

I cant move my cursor to the targets

when i press TMS up it doesn't lock any ideas?

Weapon release button isnt working for the amraams only aim 9

Is there a vertical acquisition mode like in the f15?

Hornet's Hud is 10x better

my target fired at me from 30nm away (su27 AI) and i could not do anything.. i was at 35k highed and he at 20k..

For whatever reason I can't even get locks in tws. I can't get tws to do anything all the tutorials have shown. My tms bindings are good. I've been able to learn everything else but tws functions....spent 2 days and nothing. I track 2 targets with rws but nothing in tws. I can see targets on fcr but can't interact at all. In sp or mp. Beginning to think its bugged.

Why the missile guidance is completely borked? The radar guides you to point aircraft over 15 degree left from target and clearly downward, that would be the straight intercept heading for missile. But once launched, missile takes away, turn hard right toward target and starts to climb.... If the guidance system would had worked, missile would had flown straight ahead and never start turning, not for even long time after launch as target turning doesn't matter.

Uhhh, something’s not right here... 🤨 closure rate around +550 8 miles and still not within no escape

I thought that if i shoot in stt mode the missile doesn t use datalink but it works like an aim 7 (fox 2)

Pressing enable switch depress doesn't work for me, does anybody know what might be wrong?

IFF got implemented? Right?

AMRAAM = Active Medium Ranger Air-Air Missile

13:58 ??

Does anyone feel like amraam range is too low in f16?

How is where to download this game?

Pull up on KZfaq Taiwan build new jet

15:57 did you fired too late, becouse T was there before.itused missile radar from start.could be good thing could be not. its 100% sure hit. unless target manouver lol. well thats how it is. still no missiles that are genious. know target cracnk and it wont make cuurse changes
