With one of the recent Hornet updates, we added new and more realistic tones for the AIM-9X Sidewinder. This video is provided to help better understand them.
Thing is, as a military pilot, I cannot overemphasize the usefullness of these sounds. You see, when you are pulling Gs, your vision will be impaired before your hearing... so using these sounds to your advantage is very important.
I love all these mini informational videos you produce as I follow the Hornet as it makes its way through development. Makes learning every system and sub-system easy one bite at a time. Thanks Wags!
That's literally the point, as when you're pulling heavy gees you'll lose eyesight as part of a process called G-induced Loss of Consciousness (G-LOC).
Thanks for this. It’s been partially helpful but I’m not quite sure what the tones you are describing are in some cases. Are the sounds the Aim9 only or is there RWR sounds in there as well? I’m also not clear on what is meant by waterfall sound, high pitched (they are all fairly high at that point) and scratchy - I assume this is the white/pink noise tone. Anyway, I’m sure I’m just stupid.
Do you think we can have a confirmation window pop up when you select a mission in instant action? I've accidentally hit stuff like VFR Landing when I wanted Case I landing and it's pretty frustrating especially when it's the first time you load it and it takes like five minutes
The AIM-9X is a low-mid-high rising waterfall, the RWR 'emission dropped/new' is a high-mid-low falling waterfall. 0:31 First one is high-off-boresight waterfall, second is RWR tone. Sounds annyingly similiar, though.
Next stap in DCS...? Force feedback..I saw C.W. Lemoine talking about it..The flightsims working wel..but he didn't had contact/feeling with his F18...
I feel that this will not be a high priority issue for ED, as there is currently a hen/egg problem with force feedback, meaning that currently not a lot of games support force feedback (other than a few racing sims), therefore not a lot or, currently, any joysticks/HOTAS are produced with force feedback in them. This in turn leads to not really making it worthwhile to introduce/refine force feedback for those few that still have some of the older joysticks with force feedback.
single lock tone for the archer shows the russians too poor to add different tones, 9x different tone is not cosmetic its different tones represent different angles lock, if the missile is 90deg off-boresight it create a different tone than 60deg off-boresight, it helps the pilot to track the enemey target more effeciently and can reposition for another shot if the missile miss..archer chad 🤣🤣
I wish I could hear tones in my head if a woman liked me or not in the pub and walking around and stuff. Maybe I would be sadly disappointed about the silence.
@GIVEMEAKISSLUV Umm... missiles are not magical weapons that surely hit whenever you press the BIG RED.... okay, well actually, small red button. Missiles can be fooled, evaded and jammed. That is why flares and chaff can work.

How accurate is dcs? Ik its a simulation, but is it like a military's flight simulation?
@@MrDeanguy Stupid accurate
joystick and rudders are practically required.
@@ThePower1037 Like F-117 needing 2 missiles flat to shoot down at all times?
@@jamegumb7298 If you need to do that in real life, you need to do it in DCS.
Audio cues are perceived faster than visual also.
Imagine a sound mod where the sidewinder scream is just a person screaming.
goofy ahhhh sound maybe?
it will fit perfectly
@@branislavradojevic7898 😐
You're just a couple of file edits away from that 😁
There is the War Thunder "Human RWR" mod.
I cannot recommend it.
A WOMAN SCREAMING
The "bapbapbapbapbap" tone is the most aggressive search tone ever.
Might want to mention that the radar warning receiver is also audible in these clips, in case newcomers were trying to figure out what that sound is.
note: no planes were harmed in this video
only headphone users
made my day :)
@@ivan.exposito Not at all, plane beeps and tones are ASMR for DCS players.
@@ivan.exposito Hearing the Hornet sing? Hurt my ears? Dude. That stuff heals my ears.
yeah no planes were HARMed because they were sidewindered.
My girlfriend really loved listening in on this video
Same, both my left and right girlfriends

Welcome!
Excellent! Some of these have been driving me nuts trying to work out.
Useful short video, thanks, great little addition !
Ty Matt!! Can't wait for the full roll out of the Dynamic Campaign ... etc!!!
in 2048
Still waiting
amazing and detailed as always keep it up :D
Thanks for this tutorial !
I love it! Thanks mate. Cheers.
Short and to the point 😀
Great video!
Neat info, thanks!
Awesome tones,
Finally, the blind can play!

The only thing I could think about while watching this video was, "So, are you going to launch that damn missile or not?" ;-P
awwww the little AiM-9 sounds kinda cute
The only thing fighter pilots and McDonald's employees share in their daily routine is hearing a shitton of these maddening tones.
That was a "beep" good video ;)
It would be interesting if you did this with the aircraft as well as it's a bit hard to know what all the beep boops are
Very helpful video, keep up the good work! Also, are there any chances of there being a Vietnam map later down the line?
3-4 years later and still no Vietnam map

RWR as well
Hey Wags, can you make a short video on the tones of the RWR and some slight symbology? It would be much appreciated, thanks.
Would be premature, I'll done one the EW suite is complete.
Matt Wagner Okay, thanks😄
Your RWR was freaking tf out lmao
I imagined tone as in color tone.
Didn't expect jet music.
Thank u
These can be good ringtones...
Do you think we can have a confirmation window pop up when you select a mission in instant action? I've accidentally hit stuff like VFR Landing when I wanted Case I landing and it's pretty frustrating especially when it's the first time you load it and it takes like five minutes
Or have a 'launch' button that you can hit after selecting the mission
A question, how much G can an AIM-9X pull? I heard that it can pull 60G's
isn't the waterfall sound the same one the RWR makes when something changes?
The AIM-9X is a low-mid-high rising waterfall, the RWR 'emission dropped/new' is a high-mid-low falling waterfall. 0:31 First one is high-off-boresight waterfall, second is RWR tone. Sounds annyingly similiar, though.
0:00 The most videogame sound I've ever heard in real life.
I like the McDonalds fryer sound the best
So when my dial-up makes these noises, it has locked on to the receiving end and I can press fire? Good to know
Hey, that sounds like a diplo song
I get some of those tones at Point of Sale machines. Worrying.
I literally just fired as soon as the circle was on the target, disregarding all of those sounds.
So I have a question. does my local McDonalds have a AIM-9X installed in it to protect it or am I thinking of the wrong thing?
I can't hear the sounds?
the RWR warning is in the way it seems
Next stap in DCS...? Force feedback..I saw C.W. Lemoine talking about it..The flightsims working wel..but he didn't had contact/feeling with his F18...

@@Schnittertm1 Well, I still agree with C..W.Lemoine (Check out his youtube channel) It is dubbel the fun flying and feeling
Perhaps once a force feedback HOTAS is available that can work well for aircraft like the Hornet, Viper, Mud Hen, etc.
@@MattWagner Thank you for the response.
christ I prefer the sidewinder tone in the F-15C, at least it doesn't make my ears bleed
What is the Tone for BALLOON ? ;-)
that high off bore waterfall is probably gonna get under my skin after 5 min...
Then turn it off !! ;)
@@mersyndol you can?
F16: I got tone, fox2 fox2
I need an RWR tone tutorial, I go deaf before I explode.
What game is this? So realistic!
www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/modules/hornet/
why is the aim-9's tone alot more earrape than in the vietnam planes for example.
Too bad the sound is pretty much coming from a sound board; the 9X uses an imager, no "natively" modulated tones, which is more interesting.
RIP Sidewinder growl
TheSkipjack95 ! Cool! Another Maiden fan who plays DCS!
May be a noob question, but how do you have the HUD moving when you turn your head like that?
It's called JHMCS or Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System wich you can activate with "HMD" Knob on the right side of the main dash.
This is cute
What is this videogame's name ?
Pretty sure that's Mario jumping
I hope real F-18s have the ability to download sound packs so your aim-9 can just make a fart noise when locked on.
Virgin 9X: a litany of McDonald’s food alarms
Chad Archer: single lock tone
single lock tone for the archer shows the russians too poor to add different tones, 9x different tone is not cosmetic its different tones represent different angles lock, if the missile is 90deg off-boresight it create a different tone than 60deg off-boresight, it helps the pilot to track the enemey target more effeciently and can reposition for another shot if the missile miss..archer chad 🤣🤣

Hi are you real Matt Wagner Fighter jet pilot in real life if you are wow you are actually known in L.O.M.A.C I saw ur pic in that game
sounds like a busy mcdonalds.
Who is EOD Press like
And the guy never shoots
Not the purpose of the instruction.
SU22 vs AIM-9X
1-0
How does a Fitter trash a modern Sidewinder? Needs more details. Did it splash but not inflict enough damage?
It had a motor failure iirc
@@fangsout305 that is what happens when you don't let China Lake design your Sidewinders
