You've set the bar incredibly high for DCS tutorials - great work as always
thank god finally a dcs F18 Countermeasures Tutorial FINALLY
I know right! For the life of me I could not figure it out lol.
I kinda wish they qould put another one out as soon as it goes full release for counter measures and radar as well. All of these tutorials have non-functioning buttons that would be good to learn about.
Ladies and Gentlemen! He is on a roll. Nothing can stop the RedKite. Thanks for demystifying yet another system.This is really important information to help one stay alive. And as always, but there is MORE. The link provides RWR legend. Well Done SIR.
Can always count on RedKite to provide the single most needed tutorial at any given time. Was looking all over for this help! I had everything right for Bypass setting except Master Arm! Was driving me insane! As always, thanks RedKite for yet another no-nonsense resource.
Thanks SkunkWorks, i've seen a lot of people make that same mistake!
Awesome video, I just learned so much about a system I was using 1/3 of it's potential prior to this. Keep up the videos, all the facts, no fill and great speed and explanation. Would love to see more videos covering specific systems just like this.
I'm happy to hear suggestions for future tutorials though naturally between early access and personal time there's only so much i can show you guys.
Thank you Redkite. What a great tutorial! This is the first I‘ve seen from you and I really like your style of doing it: great footage and a perfectly timed and calm voice overs. Outstanding. Subscribed.
Thanks Christian!
A picture (or video ) is worth a thousand words. Thanks RedKite, another very helpful video.
Cheers Phantom
Another seriously good video and very clear explanation, thank you on behalf of all dcs pilots. Keep up the good work
Learning the Hornet by you. Keep those videos coming. thank you!
RedKite has BY FAR, the best tutorials..... Easy to understand, and all in a relatively short amount of time.
VERY efficient. Well made.
F-14 systems some time I hope?
I just discovered your channel and boy is it good! Thanks for all these tutorials mate, they really help! I-m going to binge them all. subscribed and liked
Thank you Sir! Excellent.. keep em coming, now you are my official single source for F18 tutorials ")
I went to bed hoping... NO praying you'd make one of these. Sir you are a mind reader!
Seriously man. This video was AWESOME. SO straight forward, to the point and easy to understand. Subbed!
By far the best tutorial about countermeasures for F/A-18C on youtube! Thanks dude.
Another well produced informative video. Thanks!
As always, clear, concise and very well explained. Thank you.
Another useful guide, thanks RedKite!
thank you i never leave comments but this was a no nonsense tutorial, well done
Thank you Sean! I've gotten tired of rambling tutorials and decided i'd do something about it myself :)
RedKite: Thank you Sir and Keep Up the Great Work. VERY HELPFUL!!!
Your tutorials are the best!
Thanks so much for this video, it's very very helpful!
As usual - brilliant, thorough and clear.
I was looking for this! Thx
A very useful & informative video, thank you.
It should be noted that further information, or debate on the matter has come forth since recording this. It appears that the manual, may be correct and the game in-correct! still lacking concrete information at this time, I'l keep you guys posted.
The original update video i produced is available here.
So there is an issue with the Official Manual for the DCS F/A-18C hornet at present. I've addressed this in an update video about the Countermeasures system. th-cam.com/video/yVvBJfw2ru0/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this helpful tutorial!
Thanks for doing these outstanding and clear videos! (+Updates)
Exactly what I needed. Thank you.
Fantastic vid, really informative and much appreciated :)
This video helped me so much! Awesome content!
Thank you very much for this video. It greatly helped me with my countermeasures, rwr and ew!
Extremely helpful as usual, thank you!
Excelente video, muchas gracias por la colaboración. Thanks a lot.
I LOVE YOU REDKITE!

Finally i found it... Thanks from Spain!
Doing God's work my dude
Great video, thanks for sharing!
You are the best, thanks for your videos!
Heck yeah 👍🏻thx for the training videos this one for sure
Thanks again RedKite, simple video but just the ticket. Might not get shot down as much.... maybe.
Thank you for the tutorial!

Very nice video. and I have added subtitle in Korean. So Korean can get take this video more easily. Thank you again
Thank you!
Great turorial.
Thanks, this was driving me bonkers
Thanks from france !!
Hope you will do a Radar Tutorial soon! Thx for this!
I'l get to the radar at some point, im waiting for it to improve a little.
Playing around with this and couldn't figure it out.
Now I'm all like "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
Glad it's cleared things up for you.
Nicely done
this game is so beautiiful
Your tutorials are the all-around best concerning DCS. Easy to follow. Step by step. Concise. Great clear audio.
Keep up the good work.
Please cover every system lol
Thanks Sea gav, I've been unwell of late, but i hope to cover most of the hornet as i find time to.
This video will be responsible for saving my butt in many future dogfights! +1 sub!
thx mate couldnt find the CM Program Page!
Thank you very much.
Magic! thanks
thank you!!
Thank you!
Awesome, now I won't have to guess when I'm being locked on to
good info
Hi mate. Great vid .. Im a weapons tech and worked on the F18 and many others .... the master arm in all aircraft does not stop the flares and chaff systems. This may be a DCS issue. ;) FYI.
Thanks Gunnie! yes i've heard that before and found it weird myself. It's a quirk of DCS, hopefully it'l get patched later.
thank you soooo much !!!
excellent
Excellent job :-)
Thx for this detailed tutorial! Keep up the good work. Great style, competent + calm. I just didn't get whats going to get implemented during full release - additional dispensers?
There are additional bays for what's referred to as Gen-X expendables these are special deployable ecm's and decoys that'l really change how we see countermeasures in dcs when they're implemented.
Thx, I'll do some more research into the F-18. I wasn't sure if buying such a high-fidelity module was the right choice for me - given the limitations of my system: using an i7-4770 (could do overclocking but so far no), recently got myself a better graphics card for free - Gforce 970 lol... + 8mb RAM for free, now running it with 24MB... I have 2 SSDs and TrackIR5 pro but my HOTAS is the main limitation currently: Thrustmaster Hotas X- has only very few buttons so I use keyboard + mouse a lot. Works for single player and F5E + FC3 modules thpugh! But now I am starting to enjoy the Hornet already! Very easy to handle, 2nd carrier landing attempt trapped No2 wire successfully after a bolter! Tanking unsuccessful so far but I'll learn it eventually...
Keep it up man. The learning curve is part of the fun.
THANK YOU!!!!
Fantastic
Good stuff, the more and more I get into the Hornet and the same back when I ws trying out BMS... I just don't understand why would anyone design an aircraft (system, HOTAS wise) which is not based on the A-10C layout. But I guess the A-10C layout came out a lot later compared to these systems.
The A-10C just has the systems, pages, CMS, HOTAS so much more conveniently placed
Yeah the F-16 and A-10 are much nicer to operate the displays.
I'd go as further as A-10 > the rest (maybe the F-22/F-35 can beat it :D and the Rhino)
Just a note. Master Arm does not safe countermeasures. They can be ejected on the ground. Ive seen it happen. I worked on these systems in my younger days. :) Nice video.
Actually, on the DCS simulation it does, I'm surprised it's possible to eject countermeasures on the ground!
Thanks redkite awesome no nonsense advice well received. Will you make a custom knee board for the 18 like you did for the harrier?
I've been working on a kneeboard though it's not where i'd like it to be for public release yet
Excellent vid! I have a question, though. If the countermeasures are set to Auto, how does it know that an IR launch has happened?
Hey man awesome content! Do you think you will make more videos? If so can you make a playlist so its easier for us to find your F/A-18 videos? thanks again dude!
I'l put my videos into a playlist tonight, more hornet videos are coming :)
RedKite thanks dude!!
Perfect, I had to figure it out by reading the manual, howevee, when jammer is set to STBY i have no green light on the warning panel, and no threat identification on the right notification panel.
The lighs were all active to demonstrate their location by pushing the test button. I think the ecm is not fully implemented just yet in early access.
RedKite understandable, thanks for tour great tutorials
are there any differences between the f-18 and su-33 countermeasure systems working diffrently?
i.e flare temperatures, chaff effective area
very helpful. Thanks so much
Do you know if there is a knob or keybinding?
is there anyway you can show a video on how to setup the warthog joystick for the DCS F/A-18C hornet very much appricated
Ive got a video covering what's important to bind for the f/a-18c on my channel.
Hey Redkite, any chance on an automatic throttle control tutorial? The cruise mode seems to be pretty straight forward but the landing modes are alluding me.
The ATC will hold your mach number, or attempt to hold your on speed aoa for approaches(with gear down), however, it seems the aoa hold function of ATC is not working at the moment, it always puts me into a death dive.
Yeah, me too. I thought it was something I was doing. Should be cool when implemented though. Thanks for the reply.
You MUST tell me how your graphics on DCS are so sharp! What are your settings and hardware?
th-cam.com/users/RedKiteRenderabout Most settings are on their highest, im also using nvidia AA at the moment.
how many flares do you have? i flared like 5 times and ran out
But how will the automatic mode react, if I put it on s/a and changed all programs before?
Will it use one of my saved programs?
I couldn't say, i suspect it'l use it's own programs tailored to each radar threat. I think the semi- and auto modes are currently in development however, so i'd stick with manual or bypass for now.
So countermeasures forward is always program 5 and countermeasures aft is always pprogram 1?
Awesome guide!
But is it just me or are the CMs a bit weak on the numbers? Kinda like the M2KC
Countermeasure bays are pretty big and induce drag. Being small, highly manoeuvrable aircraft it's generally accepted that they use their other strengths to avoid missiles.
Aircraft like the Harrier and Hog are expected to maintain close air support for long periods and have a large supply of countermeasures to allow for this. The mission profile of a hornet is much more about striking their targets often from high altitude and getting out of there quickly.
It's certainly less countermeasures than i'd like but, it'l do the job, you can often defeat threats without the use of cms, by other means such as high altitude, airspeed or g-forces.
I'm having trouble getting the BIT test on the ECM. I don't see the lights by the MC saying Go/No Go. Nothing is lit up during test or operation (if it is). What am I missing? I turn the dial to STBY, BIT, XMIT nothing shows on any of them.
I'm not 100% sure it's working completely, these tutorials are made from a mixture of official dcs manual, natops and tactical documents for the real aircraft. If the RWR displays correctly and plays the tones during test you can assume it's functional for the moment.
where do I find the official Manual for the f/A-18C I bought the module
D:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Doc\ adjust to fit your install directory, the manual is including inside the download the game makes.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but why would I want it to set to "Bypass" if it disables the system? What does it mean/do exactly. It seems in your video you have set it to "On" at all times.
disables the CMS system not the dispensers. So it won't run any of the programs, instead dropping one chaff or flare depending on direction pressed. So if the program selected is bad, or the system isn't working right you can quickly bypass it to regain controls of countermeasures.
@@RedKiteRender Thanks for explaining, this "game" is insane. I installed it last week and was hooked instantly. Your videos are very helpful 🙏 Currently I am playing without a HOTAS, I play in VR with 2 controllers. I press all buttons and switches with my hands inside the cockpit, so the only things I have to bind are all HOTAS controls. I am trying to create a scheme for multi layer buttons control with the help of OpenVR2Keys, because the amount of buttons are limited on VR controllers in general.
there is no way to change program parameters on the ground? I cant get ALE-47 to activate on the ground where I can even get to those programs
Got to be in the air to program it. In reality its configured on the data cartridge prior to getting in the jet. There is another method, that i shall cover in a video sometime soon when i get the time.
I'm guessing the red slap switch countermeasure button next to the throttle isn't modeled yet.
Correct, you can push it but nothing will happen for the moment.
