    Just some tips:
    As mentioned the big elephant in the room for simulators is lack of force feedback. To mitigate this, as much as one can reasonably expect, DCS attempts to enhance feedback by routing it to the other senses. I suggest using some earbuds or some headphones as you can hear the airflow change as your AOA increases, switches click super loud, etc. As you've probably noticed buffeting shakes the screen since you can't feel it. I also suggest magnifying head movements in the face tracking software if that's an option. With my set up head movements are exaggerated with a bit of smoothing so I can keep my eyes on the monitor.
    Hope some of that helps with the transition.

      Worked on the VR T-38C trainers that the USAF uses for training and got to try the OFT. The difference in control forces and throttle range of motion were stark compared to desktop setups. Was vastly easier to fly with precision in the OFT and the VR setups with their stronger sticks than on my home setup.

      @@JSmith73 Shimshakers are propbably best thing that home-simmer can get to have awareness of G-state.
      I am actually waiting that someone would implement a small electricity feed to be given to feel it differently from the wrist or something.
      Some people even have a same thing as driving simulators has, the seat belts will have motors to tighten you to seat based G forces.
      Nothing serious is required, but having a belt that would gently tighten based G would likely create excellent awareness for G forces.
      But I think I would prefer that electroid thing, as it would give a gentle voltage to your arm/abdomen (that is used in various healtcare massage devices etc) that would really let you feel the "discomfort" when pulling high G and understand it far better.

    If you're new to DCS the one channel I always recommend is a guy called Bogey Dope. He's a retired crew chief for the F-16. His videos are just so good. Knowing the real jet, like you, gives you such a leg up on the rest of us mere mortals. Simple things like what the aircraft does during the BIT. All the control surfaces move, valves open and close, etc. When DCS revamped the BIT he reviewed it step by step. "that's too long...the flaps move more...the nozzle iris's closed more slowly..." it's fascinating. But when he gives a tutorial, he shows every binding you must have and the easiest way in DCS to mimick the real thing. Well worth a sub. Good luck in your DCS career. It's not the real thing, just the closest you can get.

    A thing that can be done for DCS to greatly enhance the immersion is to install a transducer, and set up Simshaker for Aviators. You then get the feeling of buffeting, landing gear, speed brake and such - obviously I have no reference point for what it's meant to feel like, but I do feel like I'm flying "blind" if I forget to turn it on before a flight.

    Maybe you should play with the axis tuning to tune the curves of axis as you like. There is the button "Axis Tune" for that center down of the config window and then the Curvature slide.
    Some (real?) pilots claimed that the F-16 in DCS is very wobbly in the feeling and not so responsive (especially for the pitch) ; unless you use an expensive force sensor joystick (like the RealSimulator FSSB R3L force sensing base).
    So some players crank up the middle of the axis doing like a S-shape to force the middle to be extra responsive.
    For a better simulation, you may want to look at Falcon BMS. It's better in term of simulation for the F-16, but also outside of the F-16 for example for dynamic weathers, clouds affecting lasers and IR missiles, data cartridge, ATC/pattern, solo dynamic campaign packages/missions generated, a smart scaling for far objects to proper see airplanes to compensate the tiny limiting pixels of the screen ....

    The AI in DCS tend to avoid high AoA situations unless leading a gun shot. They tend to stay around their best Ps, which makes them very predictable and prone to exploits. It doesn't help that the flight model they are using is often a LOT different then the one the human player is using, so it's fairly easy for them to never lose any energy while turning. The only thing they seem to be somewhat proficient at is jinking, and they would do this until they run out of fuel. As you yourself noticed, they will do absolutely nothing to break a status quo.

Wait until you try this in VR with a decent VR headset. There are various hardware addons (Buttkicker, FlightSeat) to give some tactile feedback for buffet etc. I'm sure you'll have a very long line of online challengers - that's a very great initiative for DCS folks to flight online against a real Viper pilot.

In fact, that way I was flying before, in a RL scenario, I would be killing myself (and the plane) with constant high G maneuvering. Now to implement! Thanks again!

      @@effsixteenblock50 Yes, fly lag pursuit (energy-conserving) to get to the control zone behind the enemy jet (called 'the elbow' because if you represent jets with your hands you want to be where the elbow is behind one jet). Once you are there you are hard to shake off and can then transition to pure or lead pursuit, cashing in energy to take a shot. Enjoy the videos with this in mind. Best of luck.

    i mainly paid attention to the face and control cams, loved seeing some of his muscle memory kick in. head tilting up while having his eyes locked on the screen, the constant throttle adjustments and stick input. very cool. i wonder if he'd like using track IR or VR sometime.

    Great stuff! I rocked that HOTAS setup for a while. Honestly, I don't see much reason to upgrade the stick atm. But I did just get the Winwing Orion 2 with finger lifts. What a game changer. I'm actually here wondering what the consensus is on the AI in BFM. I think it's funny that the issue here was they don't attempt closure and maintain constant burner. With the current AI iteration, I feel like it almost always ends up in a flat scissor on the deck with me. Doesn't matter if they're a "trained" Hornet, or an "ace" flanker.

  • @Maverickf22flyer
    @Maverickf22flyer 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hello man! Great respect to you for being a real F-16 pilot. One question to you regarding DCS. How many seconds at 9G did you have to stay in the centrifuge G strain training in order to be able to fly the Falcon? As far as I know, you must be able to withstand 9G constantly for 15 seconds or so. At least from what I could see on youtube regarding F-16 pilots centrifuge trials. Have you ever counted how many seconds it takes for the pilot to black out completely in DCS? I did! 6 seconds or so at 9G. Some smartass well tell you that you must do some high G maneuvers in DCS in order for the pilot to "heat up" or something and be able to hold the G for more seconds before blacking out. Well..., even if you do that the result still shows that our virtual pilot fully blacks out in less than 10 seconds at 9G no matter if he sits in the 33 degrees aft tilted seat like the F-16 has or a more straight seat like other fighters have. It's simply ZERO difference. So that's a simulation issue already cause it makes no difference to that. And another simulation issue is that if you start flying (pilot not heated up for holding G's longer) directly pulling and holding some 7.9Gs (mathematically below 8Gs), although the screen will become almost fully black, the pilot never blacks out and eventually that very rudimentary simulated strengthening of the pilot over time to sustain more Gs will make the screen getting more and more lit up until you will be turning forever at 7.9Gs and never black out.
    There is one fighter planes simulator called BMS Falcon which was the pinnacle of correctly simulating the F-16's flight model and flight behavior and performances which truly reflects the G-loc effect very very correct. The G-loc has a well and more correctly defined function of time versus G values that produce a G-loc than the rudimentary one in DCS. At 6Gs you can last X seconds and still get a G-loc. At 7Gs less time and so on with an exponentially decreasing time to G-loc as the G linearly increases. Can you, as a real pilot who passed the G training tests be able to reach and talk to the guys at Eagle Dynamics to solve this problem and make the G loc simulation more correct? Me and many others have tried telling them that the pilot blacks out way too quickly at 9G or never blacks out at 7.9G, but they won't believe us, except if we were real pilots and could provide stronger proof. You could be of a great help for this subject. Greatly appreciate your effort:). Keep it up with nice DCS content as in this video here.

    Hi Hasard. Very cool to watch while you explain what's happening. I was just wondering what kind of head tracking you are using? I use Track IR, but that requires an emitter to be mounted on your head somewhere. I've tried a couple of others but nothing that is strait up just observing your motions. I'll dog fight you if given the chance. I'm not great but I will happily eat the ground and use it as a learning tool. And thank for your service to our amazing country.
