By the way, I'm not sponsored by DCS or anything, but this aircraft is free to play, compared to the FA/18 that is $80 (HNNNGGGG) Definitely suggest trying out the frogfoot!

"How many missiles do we launch at the 2 incoming aircraft comrade?" "Yes"

If you ever want to transition to the A-10C in the future, the paint workshop is going to get nutz. I can promise you that.

“And So You Can See How This Was Starting To Get A Little Complicated” Drew: “YeAh”

This guy is such a good teacher. You can tell he loves this game.

the edit where you keep saying "mhm, mhm" while he explained tactics was hilarious!

You were flying over Caucasus mountains. Thats the exact region I live in, and we've had a SU-25 wing based in my hometown. Like, right across the road from my home. So I was waking up to the sound of their engines :D GGs

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP *1 SECOND SILENCE* BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

Another good thing in the Froggy is that it shares a lot of avionics with the Mig-29 and Su-27 so having the same key instruments and HUD composition, those FC3 birds will make one feel home right off the bat. :D

I wish Drewski could post his lessons given by Ralphie bc I feel It would help many newcomers to DCS and people wanting to get an understanding of the frog foot.

2 days later * Drewski Gets Letter for being drafted in ww3*

Please upload all the explaining on paint app and on the ground. Would like too see and learn something new from these, also, I guess the new DCS "pilots" would learn so much from these learning videos. It was a huge struggle to start playing DCS as I didn't have any friends, who are good at it. Reading DCS manuals and trying everything by myself was so hard, that I almost lost my motyvation to even play this game. So I guess 1-2 hours of not cropped video would help new players a lot. Btw love your vids.

That's crazy that games like this exist, so much technical knowledge required.

"Yeah, Mhm, Yeah, Yes.." - I love Ground School!

Yeeeees i love the frogfoot it is such a underrated and fun aircraft

Since childhood as a russian teenager, the SU-25 was one of my favorite aircraft. Really excited to see a reality-close simulation of how it actually feels like to ride this thing. Awesome!

its so cool how you're chilling and revising your info and all of a sudden "oh shi, we finna DIE baby!" and I love how you two reacted so well to it, just absolutely amazing

I suspect that Ralfi has recommended the use of the friction slider on the throttle for the zoom function. That spasm of the camera is something that happened to me as well when I used that slider. I would instead recommend binding the zoom in slow and zoom out fast function to a button on either the throttle or the stick.

Drew, there's a mod for the Su-25T that gives you clear hud glass, getting rid of the baked in textures. And it's allowed in multiplayer servers as well.

Love the frogfoot, such a versatile tankbuster.

So cool. Love DCS. Started it cause of your vids and I am currently mastering the f-15c eagle with my new hotas. Love this game. Thanks for showing it to me😍

I started DCS a few months ago and I am addicted. Every day you improve even a little bit is a huge success. Love it!

Ground lessons with ralfi: Ralfi: did you understand everything? Drew: Yeah yeah dont worry *crashes into trees 30minutes into flight.*

You have two types of antiradiation missiles on the Grach. The ones on the innermost puylons are much heavier and have much longer range (over 100km if you fly high and fast enough). Pro tip is - fire those first, so that not only can you start the engagement from a larger distance, but also you can shed some of that weight off quicker, and thus you become faster and more manouverable

I love these DCS videos man keep it up

I love the style of your videos great editing and the balance of realism and fun if perfect.

Both of ya'll vidy's are EXCELLENT! Fun and tremendous teaching, Ty : )

Drew should play more of this

I wish Ralfidude would post more often but I will gladly come here as well

Nice edit leaving the radio chat on. Its cool to listen to as a regular DCS player.

I’ve had a pretty good day so far but this was just awesome, thanks for the DCS.👍🏼

I would love the full video :D Thinking of picking this game up and that theory and flight school would be nice to see / have. :D

Nice video man. really brings me back to the Lo-Mac days, the predecessor of DCS. The Su-25T was added in Flaming Cliffs and was such a major improvement over anything else. Better flight model. And modern system, damage model etc. Had so much fun with the 169th_Panthers :D

The Tokyo Drift references were amazing hahaha. This is making me wanna kick back into DCS world now that I got my Oculus and HOTAS set up again.... So many hours to get used to a new HOTAS....

Two of my favourite KZfaqr, what a mix! Can there be a flip side where Drewski runs Ralfi through something?

You know ... you should have probably dropped those extremely heavy and super draggy missiles when you lost one of your engines. I'm pretty sure the Frogfoot can fly just fine on one engine but not when carrying once again its weight in missiles.

"alright which one of you frogfoots stole my lolipop" Edit: The Frogfoot you're in is slow probably because you are packing a full load. Full ordinance load will weigh a jet down A LOT.

I still dream of a DCS: SU 25 Full Module

This was a great video, loved the suspense

That first part was hilarious with the fast and furious germans XD

That was super cool & the music was on point!

loved the music, too! awesome stuff, guys!

loved the comms of the friendly fighter being informed about some enemies going for you two

Hay Drew, I love watching all your videos in Arma 3 Apex and DCS. I'm a 60+ year old US Navy Disabled Veteran and I'm having a hard time setting up my Thrustmaster HOTAS Throttle and Stick my son just bought for me. If you could make a video showing a little bit about setting it up in arms 3 for Helo that would be great. Thanks for all your videos.

I love the "yeah" montage. We need this more!

Such a calm instructor! I know he's a KZfaqr, but he could give DCS lessons on the side.

This kinda content is what love watching!

I love Drew’s Arma Videos, especially his flying ones, I wish he’d post more like this

Loved the preflight briefing @operatordrewski

Love the video. Just did this training mission myself.

If you're flying Western team, there's a cockpit translation and trainer skin you can get to make things a little more understandable

Drewsky I love these videos. Please make some more

Yes! More DCS!

Such a nice guy teaching Drewski...

"КУБ" is for "CUBE", not "KY6")

In my hometown. There is a "dogfight training school" where i get to see planes like this take off and tbh it's hella cool.

Quick tip: notice in the bottom right of your HUD you can see "25". This means you had the Kh-25 ARM version selected. This is a relatively short range ARM. On your inboard weapons stations you had much longer range Kh-58 ARMs loaded. You could have launched them from much longer range which would have let you launch from outside the engagement range of the SA-6 SAMs.

enjoyed the vally mission with the cool music. makes me want to try dcs

Low level ground attack is where it's at! I've been flying the Harrier for years now and while using it as intended is still pretty fun, nothing quite beats screaming in towards a target at >50ft agl to lob sidearms at an SA-10 at point blank range and that's pretty much all I do now. I suspect at some point I may just turn into a Viggen pilot and never fly more than an inch off of the ground but honestly that cockpit intimidates me.

I think Ralfi and you should upload those teaching parts in Paint as a full video, at least for the SU-25T, as it is probably the first plane of most people

I usually don’t like dcs videos compared to tarkov or squad but this was hilarious.

I don't know if you intended this to serve as a guide for others to learn from, but it's great that way.

Loving your DCS content. Please make a playlist for them so I don't miss any?

Hey Drew, I know you might not see this as this is an older video, but I love the DCS content you put out. It's informational, and exciting all at the same time. I would really like to get into DCS and other flight sim style games, but I have troubles visualizing what parts of the cockpit people are referencing when they talk about certain gauges or switches. Seems like a few times in your newer vids, you patch this up and make great visuals in post, so it's easy to see what someone is referencing, but sometimes I get lost still. Like when Ralfi mentions the strength of the radar signal at 22:58, just a little arrow or circle to point out which area I'm supposed to be looking at, would help tremendously. Thanks man, keep up the great content :D

hay captian drewsk your uploads are the best you rock regards pete

This is a very accurate game. Impressive. I’m actually more impressed though on how knowledgeable that guy is on missile engagements, and warfare.

Hey Drewski, Ralfi, I'm loving these vids! Please keep flying together, you guys are fun to watch. There are cockpit mods available for the Frogfoot which remove the glare from the HUD Glass. If you google "DCS User Files" and then search for "Su-25T HUD Clear" you'll find mods for both Russian and English cockpits with the glare removed. You basically just download the folder and extract it into your DCS Saved Games folder: .../saved games/dcs.openbeta/liveries/Cockpit_Su-25T/ Then start up your game and you can select the cockpit from Settings -> Special -> Su-25T. You'll see a dropdown for it. Makes a world of difference!

I personally love the su-25t, it has so many features and it is super capable

*America orders an airstrike on Iran and is potentially going to cause WW3* "OperatorDrewski uploaded a new video: My first low level airstrike" Uh... Drewski?

Куб is "Kub" (koob). It means "cube" and was the Soviet designation for the 2K12 SAM (NATO designation SA-6 Gainful).

the music is so intense I love it!

8:12 this is pretty cool to hear you mention PATRIOT, I actually work in a PATRIOT unit haha

When you have one engine down try ejecting all the weapons pilons, it will make you lighter and help flying with one engine

Anyone : information Drew: yes

25:32 - when he said defensive and the Music intensivies...damn...

As a new DCS-er, I of course got the Frogfoot and the Mustang trainer with the download. At first I was like "no way I am wasting my time with this low fidelity keyboard only plane. Onto the F-16! But once I got all the important commands bound to my stick and throttle, I became enamored with the Frogfoot and even though I have all the expensive high fidelity models, I still find myself in the Frogfoot more and more. Just because the cockpit is not interactive, all the gauges work like they should and once you get the commands down, it's an awesome weapon truck. Love it!

Ralphie is very patient pretty cool guy

Man, those pre-baked reflections on the gunsight are nasty. IDK how we used to play these games back in the day.

In the video you were asking about how to get rid of the "kill notifications" on left side of screen. There is a check-box in the settings page which you can un-check and they will not show up. I don't fly with them as well. I prefer the fog of war as to whether I was successful or now.

I did some VR with DCS, and it was mindblowingly fun.

Every game I play this dude has a video of him playing it, and I never realize it’s him immediately lol.

Great video. I wonder if you'll do a video where you have a bigger flight group when you are more familiar with aircraft.

17:38 You get your chute back upon re-arming. Might have changed in an update between then & now, idk.

It's a good well-made video, I liked it

OMG, this is intense, even though nothing happening im still at the edge of my seat xD

Wow I've got vibes from 2003 when I was a kid with that frogfoot alert sound

Looks sick @OperatorDrewski

Awesome Vid🍻👍👏

I love that livery you got on there

I don't know what are the procedures for an engine fire on a frogfoot, but many aircraft ask lowering the engine on fire to idle, if it doesn't help, shut the engine off, if it stops you can try to start it again after sometime, and see if the fire has gone away for good. And if none of these help, you can use the fire extinguisher to make it go away, on business jets there's 2 of them for each engine, generally.

Me: Proceeds to watch a 30 min long video without even noticing. I love this aircraft.

You should upload all the ground school stuff for all of us getting into DCS to learn.

Watching these videos really makes me wanna in list into the airforce but ik I’m definitely not smart enough

Please upload the full unedited clip of ralphidude teaching about the SU 25T and SAM sites, much appreciated!

3:09 as a Mustang owner who has been in a Camaro seeing you agree with the problem is 👍

This is good i would love to see more sneaky pvp stuff.

What an amazing video.

due to your videos, i started playing dcs. i got the fa18 and the su33 later on.. ive been playing for 2 days and i have 21 hours

I really enjoyed your vid

Best training montage since Rocky IV
