This plane reminds me of a modernized F-5. Most of the systems have proven easy enough to learn, and it’s a very capable aircraft even with the small fuel tank and payload. I particularly enjoy the flight model with the FBW only implemented on the pitch axis. This has instantly placed itself in my top 5 modules.
Excellent video. For a long time I could not get the radar to work at all, then I read the manual and learned what SIL mode was! You are the first person to mention it in a video, so it should help a lot of people who are as stupid as me!
So with DTT, if I ripple off two rockets I assume they'll just both track their independent targets and I dont have to fire one, switch the primary and fire on the other? I'm loving the ease of use on this aircraft, complex without being overwhelming
great! did you know, you can also use the targeting pod to observe on your screen the tracked/locked air contact you got on your radar. you should be even able to use the thermal signature mode to have a look on your tracked air contact through clouds / fog and at night. can you try that? (i don't have the Jf-17 yet, i can't try that yet)
Cap, at 4:28 the view of your lower display is so clear and unobstructed how did you achieve that? I have to slump down in my seat and contort my neck like a circus performer to be able to see the upper row of buttons RDR, INS, TACAN, etc.
@@grripcord9502 - Well, good morning! Oh, and thank you very much for answering! It's just a simple thing, really. Some... 10 years ago, Norway was looking in to buying some new flying toys. So, our government put up a competition. Who ever won it would win the contract. Turns out it was just a ruse. The "contest" was heavily skewed so only one jet could win. And so we signed a contract with the Americans for a simple version of the JSF-35. The Swedish SAAB Gripen JAS-39NG lost. And I know it's a question asked time and time again, by many people in various countries, which one is the better of the two? If you google F-35 vs JAS-39, there are a lot of theoretical discussion, but no real tests (uh, scratch the "real", not even simulated). Something you're willing to venture in to test a bit, unscientifically? In a few different roles (bombing, defending, attacking)?
@@boringpolitician Thanks for the suggestion. This would be difficult as neither plane is modeled in DCS so there would be no way to test them. I will put the request on the list for Cap to review and see what he comes up with.
@@firemedicjm911 - Yeah, I realised that as I was done typing. I don't think info on the Swedish JAS-39NG is too hard to come by. They are pretty open about their aircraft. It's harder when it comes to the Americans and their various F-35's. Would have been fun with something more than just theoretical debates, though. But, you know what? No matter what, thank you, both really, for taking time to read my suggestion! Hope you have a great day!
@@firemedicjm911 - Oh, BTW! I don't know if you're up for a riddle? Sort of. Speaking of, the JAS, earlier model, JAS 37, is the only aircraft that has been able to get a lock on and simulated hit on the SR-71, in a non simulated situation. The SR-71 didn't give a hoot about respecting Swedish air space when it was first used. The Swedes didn't appreciate that, so they started sending their JAS-37's (JAS stands for Jakt (hunting), Attack (attacking), Spaning (surveying)) after the intruding aircraft. Five times they had simulated hits on the SR-71. Yes, at high altitude. No, the JAS-37 wasn't built for that altitude. Yes, it was a high risk to take. How did they do it? How come they managed to get in shooting range of the SR-71, do you think? Here's a good article about these "hunts", though, it is in Norwegian (I've googled, but can't find any English articles on the same topic). www.side3.no/historie/pa-skuddhold-av-sr-71-blackbird-4455591 Google translate: translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.side3.no%2Fhistorie%2Fpa-skuddhold-av-sr-71-blackbird-4455591 Google translate does an ok job. But, "the plug", is supposed to be, "the stick". -_- Also, "the soil's curvature", is supposed to be, "the earth's curvature".
I'm sorry, but this was IMPOSSIBLE to follow. It is a no-mans-land between not having enough data and too much data, and so accomplishes... exactly nothing. It assumes I know enough about radar to understand all the acronyms and in-words, but also tries to be simple enough for people that don't understand radar. This video has just confused me. Fail.
Here is a video from Cap that introduces a tool that is designed to give you a better understanding about how radar works. You will need this knowledge in order to understand and efficiently operate the radar in this aircraft(as well as most others). You can always come into Discord and ask for help if you need it. th-cam.com/video/-kVrC-gqu_0/w-d-xo.html
I mean I know all the radar modes now, how to control them off the HOTAS and a few new things about the symbology I didn't know before, that's all I was really expecting. What don't you understand? It's a pretty basic fighter radar.
If you need more info on how modern radars operate, you'll need to watch additional videos, same goes for understanding BVR, tactics, and missile types. This video is designed to show how to operate JF-17's radar. Personally I think it is great, short, sweet and to the point. Hit the books cadet!
I just simply love the JF-17
Me too!! My favourite plane now!!
Schweizer Luchs Love it, got DCS a few days ago because of this module.
Mr Khan oh my god, will you be able to stop yourself from buying all the modules? It’s addictive 😏
Kamil J I'll stop once I get broke.. Probably by the end of my summer vacations... 😅
Mr Khan what are you playing on?

It's like the F5 had a baby with an F16 :)
Exactly, the concept of jf17 borrowed a lot from F-20(official modernized F-5).
10k pound of gas with 2 drops not bad
You had to press S1 down twice at 4:40 because it toggles SOI between the HUD and lower MFCD; so it must have switched SOI to the HUD first there.
Excellent video. For a long time I could not get the radar to work at all, then I read the manual and learned what SIL mode was! You are the first person to mention it in a video, so it should help a lot of people who are as stupid as me!
ED should give you a credit for doing this! GR = ED 's instructor
Very good tutorial! Are you about to learn to love the glass cockpit? ;-) To me it looks so much clearer than anything else. (Good for old eyes.)
I can;t deny it's usefulness
So with DTT, if I ripple off two rockets I assume they'll just both track their independent targets and I dont have to fire one, switch the primary and fire on the other? I'm loving the ease of use on this aircraft, complex without being overwhelming
correct I show it in a vid coming out today
Aye, finally been waiting for this very patiently.
Learning and Loving the JF-17! Excellent tutorial by the way! I would be lost without the Grim Reapers!
Please do an updated video on the modern block 3 Jf-17 with aesa radar
It's not in game :(
great! did you know, you can also use the targeting pod to observe on your screen the tracked/locked air contact you got on your radar. you should be even able to use the thermal signature mode to have a look on your tracked air contact through clouds / fog and at night. can you try that?

thx will try
on multyplayer in a hotstart how do i turn on the radar on jf 17.?
Great explanation! Is there an expand/zoom button for the radar like the f16? Be nice to dtt a tight formation
Tim pretty sure there will be. I think I read on the known issues post that dekka put out that it is not working yet, but is coming
barak allahou fik !
Thank you for all vidéos,

th-cam.com/video/R_jIZM4M7kQ/w-d-xo.html
Thats was rich information
Great work man 👏
it will not let me turn off stand by when I click the button can someone help me
Thanks Cap!
I’m a smidge unclear tho, for TWS can you only bug one or two targets? If so is TWS just a bridge to DTT?
TWS can only bug one target in Jf-17 and F-16 at a time. I really don;t understand relationship between DTT and TWS yet.
Thank you Cap!
I get confused with jettsion weapons after sometimes I cant fire or jettsion and not sure why
what does the other radars see when the radar is switched to silent?
so in nav mode you can't change the radar antenna elevation, which is odd
bug?
Invincible Thunders
Could you share the key maps for JF-17
It's in the controls video, in the JF17 playlist. th-cam.com/video/7eoLZTelbYE/w-d-xo.html
For the X56?
Grim Reapers yes 😊
Hey CAP
I have a big problem
where's it bullseye ? did you found it??
oh, let me go check.
Nice!
I don't know if you do requests. I don't mean to be rude by putting one up here, so... Where would I put one?
We do review requests and feel free to post them here, We read the comments.

Google translate does an ok job. But, "the plug", is supposed to be, "the stick". -_-
Also, "the soil's curvature", is supposed to be, "the earth's curvature".
How did u remove the flight stick?
Click on the base of the stick, it works like that in most planes.

Cap,how to download your mission for the JF17:)
Have I linked it in the Vid description? If not then I would have deleted it.
@@grimreapers It seems to be deleted,I can't find the missions:) I would be very much appreciate if you can link it again :)
@@grimreapers and to be honest ,the tutorials are really good
How do you unlock?
The mission is not linked, or am I blind?
try again please. Added.
@@grimreapers Thanks a lot - the video is really good, by the way, I've learned a couple of new things!
Tu parles beaucoup trop vite, en français, je n'arrive pas à lire le traducteur…c'est dommage
this cockpit looks like a mod, no ambient occlusion baked, got most of,the modules but wont buy this one if they wont enhance this cockpit.
I wish I had enough time in the day to poop to be first!
almost 1st
I guess I'm the only one that just thinks this plane is shit? Not the sim model, the real plane.
only a real war will tell
