Hey pilots! Tricker here and I want to welcome you to my channel on combat aviation. I'm a real world pilot in the Airbus 319/320/321 series and I enjoy DCS World, Falcon BMS, Falcon 4.0, IL-2 Sturmovik, X-plane 11, and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.
If you want to fly WWII aircraft over Normandy and the English Channel, then DCS World WWII is for you and they have plenty of aircraft to choose from such as the BF-109, FW-190, Spitfire, P-47 Thunderbolt, and P-51 Mustang. If you enjoy modern aerial combat then you want to focus more on DCS World products such as the F-16, A-10C Warthog, AH-64D Apache, F-15, F-14, JF-17, SU-27, Mirage, Mig-29, F-18 Hornet, Mi-8, Mi-24 Hind, Uh-1 Huey, Ka-50, F-5, Mig-21, AV-8b Harrier, and the F-4 Phantom. Some of the mods that are out there for DCS World are the F-22 Raptor, SU-57, A-4 Skyhawk, Rafale, and Gripen.
I enjoy other games such as Total War, Battlefield, War Thunder, Escape from Tarkov, as well as Squad.

Thanks for the video - takes a lot of work to go back and forth between footage/clips and have just what you need as you edit to your narrative (or narrate to your edit haha). Good tips!! I keep "threatening" to make my own video too, since I also use a warthog, and want to incorporate an xbox controller. I want to show the controllers too...to help others but mostly to get it all down myself as well! I am just not confident enough with the actual flying and gameplay - yet! With your help we're getting better though!! Thanks again... Question - do you use the microstick on the throttle for your HOCAS? Is it stock, or did you upgrade it? Any tips on curves/settings for that little stinking stick?? Especially pressing it for cursor enter...grrrr

In multiplayer is there a way to Lock onto a target from the gunners seat as you can do when you are in the pilots seat (single player)and using George AI ??

Thanks for your help!
