Good stuff, Neo, and thanks for the support! Just a couple notes, the F-15E is a product of our talented 3rd party partner, RAZBAM Simulations. Also, you'll need to flip up the Master Arm switch next time to pew pew pew.

Yeh but don't forget the muscle memory he's developed flying the real thing compared to what we have learned using TrackIR. Didn't you notice how after the merge he instinctively is lifting his head up to follow the Su27. For us we train ourselves to move our heads very little to get a huge change in the view point from the cockpit. I honestly think it must be very difficult for someone who recognizes the cockpit and knows how everything works to do 'sims' the way we have done. And most of us couldn't have done what he's done also for many reasons.

Former Army 12B it's pretty sweet to get the insight and information you provide. I appreciate the vast array of skill and knowledge as well as the physical ability it takes to fly these. I thought being route clearance was tough, but man this is a whole different world. Good stuff I enjoy the tutorial along with your combat flights. I would love to learn how to fly but I don't think my grunt brain can handle it 😂. Keep up the amazing work it's really nice to get input from a pilot that's knows their bird.

@JagdgeschwaderX Жыл бұрын

Just having an hour or two in a Cessna is a lot of fun just for the experience even if you don't plan to go further. There's not rules that learning to fly means to have to even qualify if you think about it, they will take your money and you can get the experiences you want from it, if you tell an instructor that they will totally get it and understand. I got my PPL when I was 18 in the US, I'd flown in the UK a little before that, my dream was to be an airforce pilot but my eyesight was terrible, my next dream after getting my PPL was to fly commercial but there was no way I could have afforded it so in the end I got to do some really fun stuff and have a bunch of cool memories :) Since you are in the US you could even try to get a ride in the back of a WW2 aircraft or do a little aerobatics ,there's so many possibilities.

Very cool. I'm looking forward to comparing and contrasting workflows to the other jets in DCS. I'm pretty casual with the modern stuff (only so many penguins can fit on the iceberg) and mainly stick to the Hornet, but this beast deserves my attention, especially with the variety of sensors. I appreciate the perspective and stories you've included in this video. Subscribed and will keep watching - that stuff really adds to our enjoyment of DCS and appreciation for the profession. Good tip about the short shorts too, rocking some sweet frog skin right now which definitely aids in productivity at work and at play. A lot of people don't realize what a force multiplier these things are.

I am using my webcam in DCS for tracking, theres two programs you need. The first is OpenTrack, and the other one is AITrack, way better than turning the head with the stick.

Hey there just a little tip, to rotate the selective jettison knob you need to left or right click it, it is not like the hud brightness knob. And for jettisoning the master arm needs to be on for both selective and emergency jettison. Keep up the good content, hope this helps

@paristo Жыл бұрын

"And for jettisoning the master arm needs to be on for both selective and emergency jettison." I would have thought the real pilot knows how to jettison, but hey, everyone can make mistakes. And I would have thought that EMERGENCY jettison is literally one push... As you don't have time in those moments to check anything else or move hand anywhere else. So if you need to get stuff out NOW, it is then NOW.

What I like is that you show lots of respect for the Wizzos. There are other fighter pilots out there who consider them to be just talking ballast. Maybe they are indeed not needed in 1vs1 dogfights, but in more realistic scenarios I believe they are force multipliers. Despite all the computer aid in modern platforms. And with some of the new radars which seem to allow AA and AG at the same time Wizzos might have even a greater impact.
