Your editing made us look actually competent in that flight. Hahah. But you did very well in that environment, 7 kills and no deaths, so that speaks volumes for someone who just got into this less than a month ago. You're a natural.
@ralfidude That is no joke, he's picking up DCS very quickly!
Here I am with 2 years of experience, and I still can’t fight for my life...but luckily DCS is one of those games you can completely suck at and still have loads of fun!
@@joec4106 I think 4K monitor also helps to pick up those pixels. :)
I would love to learn to play this game if I get a gaming pc again
A true Ace, hopefully more sorties to come
Literally don't understand anything being said in the video but I'm hooked
Pretty much every video by this guy.
Exactly the same as me
Me too, love watching these but wouldn't have a clue how to play!
Yep
Two copies
And some people have the audacity to think that Battlefield 3's air mission is realistic...
It was a good mission tho
@@FIREBREATH1001 No doubt, it was fun.
@@chavezchavo It was not realistic but had loads of eye Candy 😏😏😏
@@LtDogoop that su performing a cobra, that was Sweet
Same people that thought the thunder run mission was realistic.
"It's so much multi-tasking"
Welcome to being a pilot in general lol
seriously though. A CFI is doing there job when you can't even think of your own name when asked.
@tvercetti1 not one person here denied that
@tvercetti1 He was saying ALL pilots have to multitask. Which is true.
@tvercetti1 Um.... My comment implies nothing whatsoever. Being a pilot, in general, is a high task saturation job. I know. I am one. Fighter pilots have DIFFERENT tasks that saturate them. Not necessarily more. It all depends on the individual pilot.
@tvercetti1 elaborate on your wrong assertion
Holy!! He already has early access of arma 4.
Arma 420 operation dankpoint
Hugh Seeley yes
arma 69 assault on taboo
Damn but I wish they could make arma 4
You wish, pleeeeb.
Drew ski you said fox 1 when firing an ir guided missile it is actually meant to be fox 2
Fox 1 = semi active radar homing missile like an aim 7 or the Russian missiles like a 27 er where the missile uses the radar on board of the aircraft to track to target
Fox 2= ir guided missile
Fox 3= fully active radar homing missile. For example aim 120c or r77 which allows the mothership to notch and lose lock while the missile uses onboard radar to track the target
Hope this helps
The joy of Brevity
Lee Butterworth haha
CAW GG fox 2 is also heat seekign
@@finnthewastebin1503 yeah heat seeking is just a common term for IR or Infrared Radiation seeking which is the more technical/official term.
SpeedyCM yes true
Looks like someone finally caught the DCS itch. Sorry to ruin every other air combat game for you :x
Pshh, DCS pretty much ruined every other game for me. It has definitely been my go to for the last 5 years and it just keeps improving.
Let me ruin DCS for you: play falcon BMS
@@yuri4046 Yeah... No.
@@HooltMan You can always tell the guys who are scared of BMS lol.
@@yuri4046 played falcon for years, its fun but nothing like DCS especially in VR, tho i do agree that its a better F16 module, at least compared to the current WIP falcon.
Hey Drewski, when you go defensive vs a F3, you do NOT want to pull up. You're bleeding your energy while the missile is still gaining energy, therefore increasing its chance to kill you. Speed is life, and pulling up only slows you down. If you're only a few NM away from that missile you'll be in a position where you're going mach 0.6 but the missile is at 2.1 or higher depending on the missile. And that's no bueno.
Not to mention if you put yourself above the missile you cant notch it; you're painted against an empty background. Instead drop straight to the deck so the missile is pulled through denser air. Then pull level to 90 degrees to the missile, you'll either lose lock due to notching or will have bled off so much of the missile's energy itll never hit you. Other than that good flying 😊
many missiles where sams and ai is a bid dummy and shot you at max range alawis. You will avoid the missile unless you are running right into it
If a bit further away, head-on, perform a split-s as unloaded as possible, keep up the speed and the missile on your 6, hit for the deck and turn 45 deg. left and right to make it turn and bleed speed. When it comes in close, you're prolly faster than the missile, and you and now perform and Immelman to get back into the fight (if you whish). If you don't wanna re-engage, pull up in a climb, keeping up the speed, then roll over and level out, once beat.
@@jakobole if you're in a head on you can perform the classic ... I forgot what its called.
Fly towards your target at a 45* offset, at around their firing range or after you know they've fired, pull a 90* turn in the other direction while you lock them up and fire a F3.
This will cause their missile to pull a near 180* turn, bleeding a ton of energy, put your target on the defensive, then put you in a position to either break cold and defeat any additional missiles they've fired, or turn hot and continue lobbing missiles until they're dead.
I don't understand anything but I am enjoying reading this.
@@sadgemeister3321 what don't you understand my friend?
That cockpit sounds like a McDonald’s kitchen
lmao
What they serve you won't be as tasty though.
imagine being an ex pilot and then going to McDonald’s after retirement, that’d be hell
McDonalds Douglas F/A-18 Hornet
What's so cool about the way you're learning this, is you're getting the comms and teamwork first. Most of us end up learning the jet in a lone wolf sort of way, and then have to un-learn bad habits to become part of a team effectively. That gives you a big leg up on most of us and you'll be VERY valuable to a virtual squadron quite quickly.
Me watching his 1st video on DCS : "I'm going to suscribe because i'm sure he will do more video on it"
Me right now : "Outstanding move"
Chikin Sensei you sure that this is his 'first video'?
cent he’s happy that drewski made another DCS video because that’s what he subbed for
Make sure you utilise your Antenna Elevation when youre scanning targets at known altitudes, it'll make picking targets up much easier without having to alter your own altitude. Great vid!
Also, when you're engaged in BVR or are within ~40NM of enemy aircraft, you generally shouldn't be leaving the radar on 140 degree sweep. It takes forever to search the entire scan volume, and you've generally got AWACS providing the wide-area coverage anyhow. Instead you want a tall and narrow scan zone; e.g. 4 bars/60 degrees, or even 6bars/20 degrees for shorter range engagements. The narrow sweep allows you to more quickly acquire and lock the targets that you're actively prosecuting, and the greater scan height accounts for the fact that closer bandits can more easily go above/below your scan volume.
plants of war I know this isn’t directed at me but thanks a load for the tips anyhow, I’m probably going to start using that
@@MrCoolguy425 another Hornet tip. If you select a missile type with your joystick (sidewinder, amraam, or sparrow) then set up the bars, range, and azimuth scan the way you like it, and hit the RSET button on the radar screen, it'll save it for that weapon, so every time you select that missile type it'll automatically be set the way you like it
7R1P0D that is very useful thank you!
7R1P0D I always found fans of these games like yourself so cool...so basically if we stuck you in a real F-18 you’d be able to fly and fight with it? (this isn't sarcastic btw, I'm genuinely impressed)
I was an Aviation Technician in the USMC. Pretty cool to see some of the stuff I worked on in a simulator/video game.
Same brother. AT in the USN. Awesome to see this stuff as well
Me too brothers! AT with the royal space marines
aren't these interiors and cockpit technology CLASSIFIED information?? can you tell me how these plane models were so accurately reproduced? Thanks
@K2thaM, nah man the interior isn’t, unless it was like an F-35 or something. The only classified about the technology are the components inside of it.
@@dae316 Thanks for the reply, in Australia we have very strict photography security in and around our RAAF bases, I also remember reading in a USMC book how a Marine was explaining that alot of movies and TV shows/Video games etc always get military hardware wrong because alot of the sensitive information is CLASSIFIED and the terms/acronyms etc are considered SECRET, but this game looks as if it is a very real re creation of the real life models.
Great work, Drew!!
It's gonna be fun following this DCS adventure of yours!
Just one thing:
Fox1: Semi Active Radar Guided Missiles (for example and Aim-7)
Fox2: Heat seekers
Fox3: Active Radar Guided Missiles.
Nothing important, just wanted to point that out.
Keep it up!!
What's the difference between semi-active and active RGM?
@@lttarzanman6452 With a semi active missile, the plane has to keep radar lock on the target and guide the missile all the way until impact. In short, the plane talks and steers the missile all the way.
An active missile has its own radar. The plane/radar will steer it most of the way, until the last distance, then the missile will go "pitbull" and switches on its own radar, guides itself and the plane can break away.
@@lttarzanman6452 semi active goes after the target's radar reflection coming from your plane's radar, active has it's own radar
He used all the calls correctly lol.
@@definelogic4803 no.. When he fired a Sidewinder, he called out Fox1
I used to think Arma 3 vehicles were realistic but WOW this is impressive!
arma 3 vehicles realistic hahahahahahahaha
It cost 80 dollars to download this vehicle into he game.
Arma is mario kart with planes compared to DCS
@@Saucebrunette Used to lol
lando
Considering how much time you’re getting out of said plane it’s pretty cheap
Arma makes BF look silly, .. DCS makes Arma look childish.
Im new to combat sims im now playing the game squad can you reccomend me some things for arma i think im gonna switch bc of the steam sale
@tvercetti1 or the steam workshop for easy install
Chill on BF4
If going of purely air combat, probably, yes. If going off it as a combat dim in general, arma will outclass dcs purely by virtue of its versatility and combined arms potential. Not to mention the kodding community behind it.
@Southern Fun Wait can I run around on the ground as an infantryman in DCS?
I’m just here for that sweet sweet grzegorz brzęczyszczykiewicz action. (ralfidude fans know what I’m talking about)
Good old classic like Hentai 3-4
I miss his old bullshitery vids, shame he could'nt be as funny as he was back then with his friends since the BS that is youtube these days and people not being able to take a joke.
You should try it in vr. Lower res but way more immersive.
He is in VR pretty sure
@@ranger6609 looks more like trackir
@@kleist5083 oh cheers
I have now HP Reverb VR (previously i use Pimax 5K+ but res. was, nah, medicore...) and the resolution and image quality of this HP is insane. I set 200% in SteamVR resolution. The image is extremally sharp and crisp, it's like something between 1080K and 2K monitor. I don't need any zoom at all, it's very easy to read the tiniest numbers and text in the cockpit without any leaning, easier than in monitor because in VR everything is way bigger and "closer to you".
And the impresion of seating in real plane's cockpit is so authentic and addictive.
And this is some cheap frensel VR, hard to imagine what we are going to have in 2-3 years...
How does anyone manage a keyboard joystick and throttle in vr. VTOL VR is so much easier. This one is a task to figure out in VR...
Just so you know, 4:30 would be fox 2 instead of fox 1
Fox 1 is for semi-active missiles (like the AIM-7)
Fox 2 is for heat seeking missiles (like the AIM-9)
Fox 3 is for active missiles (Like the AIM-120)
around 6:50 Ralfidude mentions the bandit is at 21 thousand, if you look at your radar screen, on top and below the TDC (Target Designation Cursor, the yellow box you are moving around) you will see two numbers, the top number is the top of your current scan in thousands of feet and the bottom is the bottom of your scan in thousands of feet, what you want to do is get it so 21 would be the number in the middle of those two numbers so that you would be scanning with the middle of your scan hitting 21 thousand, then the target would show up on your radar.
Also while you're looking at the target with the JHMCS and you hear the aim-9 tone, If you push the "uncage / cage" button on the hotas the aim-9 will lock the target so you don't have to keep looking at him to keep tone.
Really enjoying the DCS content :D
I was about to Google this, thanks for the explanation
Its surreal hearing my voice at 19:00 talking to Darkstar. Great video man, you're learning so quick!
This game looks so cool. Drewski, you should collab with Karmakut, I just watched one of his videos and made me think to check your channel. You guys are my mil sim channels .
They already have. Forgot the videos name, but I know they have.
Drewski actually killed Karma in Tarkov not too long ago 😂😂
They play together already. Quite often.
Amateur. Everyone knows to hit the brakes and he'll fly right by.
Fire Your Missles Backward As Well As Forward
Lol
Ive been wanting to get into DCS but these videos have pushed me to finally get a joystick and track ir and try it out
@17ll3 x214 there are like 15€ clips on ebay I got the original ir one but it donest worth it.
You've picked up DCS impressively fast. Great work, really.
4:30 that was fox 2 actually
HIGH WAY TO THE DANGER ZONE
*Drewski zone
Maybe drewsky will get the f14, it's 20% off for christmas
What it is is learning how to operate about a dozen different, critical pieces of electronic equipment, how to fly the F18, learn a wide variety of coordinated tactics, weapons capabilities and how to defend yourself. Then you have to incorporate all of that knowledge, those skills and the teamwork, simultaneously, at high tempo and under stress. And it's a lot of fun.
This looks really cool, exciting yet relaxing at the same time... love the realism even with the comms.... great job buddy.
ive got probably 200 hours in the hornet on DCS now and im just barely starting to feel like I know what im doing. There is soo much to learn, and the more you learn, the more you realize that you don't know. but this is the greatest game ive ever played.
Carl Groover yes love the aircraft
I fly the MiG-29 bro. F/A-18C and F-16C is just way too much for me. Plus, I don’t have a joystick so i can’t fly them at all, the controls don’t work on keyboard. Also, MiG-29 is the only aircraft i own so its better to master it and that i got as a gift. I don’t have access to credit card to buy modules. :(
he’s playing arma 3 right???
@@bean7633 Its DCS
I have literally like 1000 hours in the hornet and i have learnt everything except HARMS they are literally the hardest to learn.
My favourite game ever. DCS gives me endless possibilities, never gets bored.
And when i've bought VR i think got addicted.
cheers
i wonder if vr headsets like the xtal and varjo used in these very realistic simulators, are going to help solidify the vr market
Nicely done! Situational awareness can be very difficult to keep when you're first learning DCS. You're getting it amazingly quickly.
I was able to catch some of this live and it was so much fun to watch. Keep that DCS content comin!
I really appreciate your longer form videos, I never feel cheated when I watch you! Keep up this quality and you'll be past 1 mil in no time
Drewski, when you were tracking that bandit to the right of the two ship, you weren’t locking him because you hadn’t adjusted your radar altitude (I think that’s why you weren’t locking him, unless it was intentional) anyway amazing video as always and glad to see your finally trying out DCS
Fire Your Missles Backward As Well As Forward
I am LOVING your DCS content! Fidelity and realism is great!
I love how your friend has realistic call signs and actually using right call outs for radio tower! So cool, I work at an airport and here this tuff all the time
“I’ve been sick for a week and a half” halfway through December....
Just wait until you get sucked into the other modules. If you like the F/A-18, definitely try the A-10. It's one of the few fully complete modules and is amazing to fly. I regularly play on the Hoggit server, we always looking for additional!
I agree. The A-10C is a blast. I'm still learning all the systems.
Fire Your Missles Backward As Well As Forward
love the A10 but dont have enough buttons to really enjoy it on my x52pro .w.
This is amazing. I hope to catch more of this on your channel.
Dude - nice work! That must have felt gooood. I've been watching a lot of Ralfidude (subbed too). Love his work.
Ive been in love with this game for 2 years now, i defenitly recommend VR. Love that you discovered it to. Learning from the best i see, good job!

"radar is 1 to 1 with real life"
lmao... we wish
haha yea, but today we get TWS!!! so one step closer.
Yeah... It would be really nice
Been subbed for about 2 or 3 years seen a lot of stuff love the realism of your channel and the laughs.
Congrats on 1 mill bro 1st time watchin appreciate the good vid man👍🏽
Nothing like getting to learn DCS first hand from Ralfi, esp given you're basically the same person. Jelly.
I love this game I've been running the a10 warthog
That was some impressive flying for a nugget. Very well done!
Good to see that you finally got the grip on DCS! Would love to see you and Ralfi fiddling around the Tomcat.
3:47 I literally said "master arm" out loud unconsciously, got confused why I said it, and then realized that his master arm switch wasn't on lmao
Drewski, you're actually better than me who has 400 hours in DCS lol. Impressive!
2:53 “Angels, one-thousand”. Damn that’s high lol
Gotta say: You are holding up REALLY good. I remember my first flights and fights and... yeah.
looks likena lot of fun but im waiting for my vr headset before heading to mp.
*Your father, FrankieOnPC, should be proud of you*
Fire Your Missles Backward As Well As Forward
Yaes!!! Wonderful! Amazing! You're getting even better!
Looking forward for the next video!
I just love the real effect when the sun hits the displays.
Plz fix your zoom slider :(
You'll probably just need to bind Slow Zoom In/Out to some buttons on your stick, which is what I ended up doing when my stick's axes started getting jittery. It might seem like a pain at first, but getting rid of the jittery zoom is so, so worth it. Trust me this will make DCS 100% more pleasant to use.
I just have my slider set to steps, so 0-33% was no zoom, 33-66% was medium zoom, and 66-100% was full zoom, and that got rid of the jitter
7R1P0D Thx i was looking for a fix, i have the same problem.
I actually had this problem and the fix was to plug my Warthog throttle to a different USB port.
You should upload the ground school stuff, or ralfi... Either way it's some valuable information
Mate, I’ve only just recently subbed to your channel. Love your content and your honest and real commentary. You deserve all the subs you get. Keep it up and I’m sure you’ll hit 1m.
The information one has to process in a short time is amazing!
Hey Drewski, I´ve got a question. What Joystick did you use?
Cause I want to play this Game, too :D
DCS is the real deal. I've been playing DCS for years
Awesome video. Around 6:45 when you're going for the guy at angels 21 you need to adjust your radar antennae elevation up. It's a button on the HOTAS. You radar is space stabilized so when you just pitch your nose up it actually stays looking forward at the same slice of the sky. You'll see numbers on the elevation bracket change as you adjust radar elevation and you would have picked him up.
You know how happy I am that you are finally getting into DCS?! My favourite TH-camr with my favourite game!👌
Is this from yesterday? I remember watching you on Twitch and there was a guy firing "burst colorful flares" (or whatever it was) on the runway, but I didn't see it in this vid!
Leopard20 no different time
FINALLY he plays DCS
Ikr (y)
This game is so fun to watch. please continue to make these!
Good stuff man, loving it!
Very good for a newer dcs player. If you think A2A is complicated in the F18, just wait til your importing coordinates for JDAMs, using the TGP to set sensor points and lasing LGBs. If you catch the dcs bug you'll eventually fly the A10-C and realize how easy the Hornet is haha. Enjoyed the video thanks
"DCS IS TERRIFYINGLY REAL"
8:22 - "ARHH he's lagging!"
*Real pilot gets shot down and screamS in comms* "I WAS LAGGING"
Fire Your Missles Backward As Well As Forward
All the little beeps and boops and "altitude" is so calming for some reason
Carter Williams yeah. It’s funny how much research they did to find the most incessant beeping that wouldn’t cause the pilot to panic.
@@domdagamer5285 they should have used the pokemon battle music for enemy missile launches
well you don't want to panic inside a high speed oxygen compressed flying metal with lots of buttons inside of it right?
Thank you for the educational input while flying on the internal systems I hope to be on DCS as soon as I can acquire control system for aircraft 🦅🇺🇸🦅
Did i see a Pakistan Air Force JF-17 Thunder jet at 1:19?
Didn't know that was available in DCS
jD Raza It came out a few weeks ago
You guys' comms are tight! This is so satisfying to watch!
Btw I dont fly (yet) but I believe AIM9X's are Fox2.
Also I think you lost your first Fox 3 because you turned before it went pitbull, yeah?
You're right on the first one but about the Fox 3: The 120's on the F18 dont't have the two stages of tracking that other missiles have like the 54's on the F14, it's 100% fire and forget.
@@kylewhite2985 aim120 does have two stages for F/A-18. It's the ACT counter you see at long range launches. Now that we have TWS you can actually trash your own missiles by steering the radar cone so that targets are outside of it. Once you have TTG counter the missile has gone pitbull. You can also fire the missile in mad dog mode and some other mode where it goes active the second it is deployed.
Fire Your Missles Backward As Well As Forward
I really love these! Great job Drew!!!
Dude I love all your videos!!
Keep it going, seriously!❤️
Would I be fine with just a single 24" monitor playing this?
Yes that’s not a problem, might want to invest in headtracking though
Your "flickers' are a classic sign of a Saitek rotary axis on their controls. My X56 has the same issue. I fixed it by putting a deadzone of 3 on my view zoom axis, so it doesn't jitter when centered. It doesn't fix the jitters when zoomed in thought unfortunately
you can adjust the saturation and dead zone to have 3 levels of zoom of your choice
@@thesteaksaignant with user curves you can even have 5 levels of zoom with no jitters :)
Absolutely entertaining. I have been following you for a while. Im now a subscriber
Just subscribed. Watched the ARMA3 sniper video first followed by this one and was sold. Solid gold, man.
You: I'm a beginner *shows very good skills*
Me: I'm a pro *crashes on runway*
I can relate
You should definitely play IL-2 sturmovik: battle of Stalingrad, awesome ww2 combat flight simulator
First dog fight and now you are dropping them like flies, damn rafi is a good teacher or you are a natural, either way i'm impressed
Great video man! I love DCS as well and it is great to see that you are enjoying it. Also I like to see someone learning like me. Just a quick advise, replicate your EW in the HUD with the option HUD in your EW page. It will help you a lot to quickly see what is locking you.
What's the likelihood DCS or War Thunder will do a Top Gun: Maverick special.
I'm not first......
But I sure am loyal.
What an excellent mission, thanks for taking us along. I'm several years too late here, but that was a lot of fun.
nice flight. 09:00 drop centre bag is rotate to 'store' and jett.
What alien tongue are these guys speaking in? and how the f did they learn it?
literally just ctrl c ctrl v this into squad, then youd have yourself a game
And everyone will need a NASA computer to run it
It has taken me most of this year to get the hang of DCS (and a lot of money), and you've been playing how long? You are doing incredibly well + you have a DCS senpai with ya
Nice to see you on it Bud' ! Ralf is a good teacher :)
Fly safe.
A common misconseption in the dcs community is that «taking active runway» as ralfi is saying is correct. In fact it is more of a made up topgunish slang that sounds cool on radio, the correct way of saying it would be «lining up runway»
"Dcs is very real"
>Yea well, no sh!t
Oh, thank you for this comment man. You really added so much.
Awesome video, dogfights must be really nerve-wracking.
Ah shoot, Drewski in DCS and with Ralfi!! Can't wait to see more of you in the sim :)
That was sick! Making me want to learn this.. but that'd be a journey, I'm sure.
So cool. Keep these coming please
Loving this series
So excited you're now playing DCS! I'm now subscribing don't let me down and keep throwing up the occasional DCS vid :)
