    I misread title as "F-16 Thunderbird pilot Recruiting fellow DCS F-16 drivers for Worlds First and Only Premier Vitural T-Birds demonstration team lead by former Thunderbird". Cheers!!

      @@4head527 there is a DCS Thunderbird squadron and their good at formation exercises but if "NEO" could organize an Actual Demonstration Team leading the squadron as a T-bird veteran, the channel would absolutely Blow Up!

    I just got back from a weekend of watching the Thunderbirds at Sun n Fun 50th Aerospace Expo. Amazing skill and talent! You have to be proud to be a part of the Thunderbird legacy.

    When you spawn with bombs and or tanks the game puts the jet in CAT III. So the initial Caution was the stores config warning when he jettisoned the tanks. Could see the light on the right side caution panel. I’m sure Ryan knows and was not worried about or paying attention to it. It is something relatively new to the DCS F16 to give those warnings.

    this is giving me a flashback of a multiplayer 4YA nevada server and that area still belonged to the enemy and I was making maverick runs in the viper when they started launch multiple sa 2s at me "SMOKE IN THE AIR!! Dumping chaffe and flares. I ran behind the hills to block the sams from getting me! I think I was evil laughing as they'd smack the mountains as I scream down to the deck hugging the valleys behind them. Come back up, shoot again, and theyd shoot again. Rinse and repeat. HE LIVES!! In vr, it is so much fun!

    I thought this was a landing tutorial based off the title. This made even more funny by you messing up your landing.

    Does the real F-16 feel like it is riding on ice while on the take of roll? Is lateral stability that bad on take off? Or is it just an ED thing?
