Back in Enigma's Cold War Server but this time I'm in the F-1. I picked up the trial, was lucky enough to have Flame Haze explain it to me, and was joined by Hardy and Marknow. Died a lot but had fun and ended up with some success by the end!
I've recently published 3 fantasy novels! Want to support the channel? Consider picking one up!

Yeayyy.. the first splash was me chasing your teammate haha.
Haha, thank you for your service!
The F1 is by far my favourite cold war jet currently in DCS. Plays way different to the others and takes a bit of experence to get the most out of it but it's what I've used almost exclusively to top the PvP K/D charts on ECW 3 times.

I assume you already know, but in case you didn’t (and for anyone else reading this) if you get a radar lock you get a full lead computing gunsight, which can be very helpful, though due to the low velocity of the cannons need to be right on the enemy to see the pipper
Oh, nice. I've yet to manage to actually get a radar lock but will continue to try!
Its also a "delayed" solution, manual states that you need a steady target for "2 seconds" so if you're cranking on the stick to get on target or the target is cranking/evading, the likelihood of you hitting is low. Also I don't recommend firing at any range beyond about 600-800 on the sight, the probability of hits is extremely low unless its a bomber. I do wish they would add some variability to the cannon pattern too, the 2 cannons shouldn't be synchronized, but in DCS they are. would really help with those oblique angles so the target can't just zip through your spray pattern. If you or they are jinking or for snapshots, I like to press and hold the cannon 300-600 button, which puts it to 600 meter fixed.
@@Munky332yea for snapshots I just eyeball it lol, it ain’t a great radar gunsight but it’s better than most of its peers
@@Dr_JebusIf you didn’t know, there is a switch that will auto lock anybody in roughly your hud out to about 7 miles, called telemetry mode TEL, very useful
@@Apple-om5mr
I think it’s extremely powerful, behaves like a lot of the Gen4 sights
That's the most german sounding german that ever germaned in germany.
It’s a great plane, but it does drink like a Russian sailor on shore leave
Ya, i really like the f1. Good video too.
El modelo de vuelo del F1 es el mas realista.
Can someone please tell me how to get the "current picture" read out in the top right of screen ?
Open the ingame chat menu, default \, then go F10 (Other), then F5 (toggle auto display)
@@Dr_Jebus Cheers Doc, much appreciated.
The mirage is my main plane, and I, too, have an issue getting tone for the IR missiles. The seeker is slaved to the area at the top middle of the HUD, but it's still hit and miss for me. Very frustrating at times.
Have you tried uncaging the seeker head? It's the same keybind as the 300-600m cannon range.
@@kontiukahonestly why I prefer the Magics, will auto uncage and do a lil search pattern
Oh also if you using sidewinders make sure you flip the magic/sidewinder selection switch to sidewinder
I don't think that switch (the one marked EXT) is to flip between Magics or Sidewinders. I think it is just to power whatever wingtip missile you have. Unless you're talking about another switch.@@Apple-om5mr
That switch is an on/off switch: its "Marche" (On) and "Arret" (Off) -- I believe its technically more of a "Missile Prep" switch, and may be badly translated to "Sidewinder or Magic". Some of the other manuals I've seen online (one I can remember off top of my head is the South African F1CZ) lists it as sidewinder cooling, with it labeled as "SW" on the panel with "ON" and "OFF" positions.
Also, you should leave that switch OFF until engagement, don't set it on the ground; certain missiles that have cooling via gas only have a limited time they can operate before running out. I believe the 550 and 530 both have coolant, and some of the Aim-9's had peltier cooling (which should be unlimited). Its possible that the code may have been copy-pasted for the Aim-9s to have limited cooling capacity, even if not accurate (ie, a bug). So give that a whirl, leave off until in combat zone.
