Georgia is very cool. The people are so unique. I can't put my finger on how to describe them. Except, uniquely influenced by their history. Georgia is a must visit.
Drewski, I’m a viper crew chief in real life and also dabble a little in DCS. The guidance I’ve received from real F-16 pilots for softer landings is to land with some speed brake. With speed brakes out you can have your engine at a slightly higher rpm to help with flare and also it’ll spool up faster since it’s already at a higher rpm if you need to make small adjustments when touching down. Happy flying!
How realistic do you think it is to land on a road like this? Wouldn't all sorts of stuff from the ground get sucked up into your engine damaging or destroying it?
@@squidwardo7074 it’s incredibly unrealistic. Aircraft with low intakes would ingest rocks or other debris and ruin the engine. Some countries train to land aircraft on highways in case of emergency, but the roads are cleaned ahead of time. Aircraft like the A-10 with high mounted engines don’t have this problem as much. I can’t speak for other countries, but busy U.S. airfields are cleaned daily. Edited for clarity
I would like to see this same tactic tried with SK 37E or JA 37. It's parent AJ37 was designed for this exact kind of warfare. Does AJS-37 in DCS have the legs and weapons package to do this? I thought it was more a bomber with fighter characteristics. It is a shame there is no JAS 39 available.
The ending was perfect. 3 presumably enemy jets chase you down and instantly lose you, somebody on fire just comes out of nowhere and the team killer gets kicked. Looks like fun haha.
DCS is definitely the best series on this channel. The editing is great, the sound design is great, the intro commentary and music is well choosen for the atmosphere. You can really see much effort you put into your videos! I also really like the retroperspective of the movement the players on the server, e.g. at 00:55, is a blast - idk any other game that has this kind of feature in this level of detail!
@@AliBaba-vw7mo I wouldn't say that. The standard version is just 25€, which is not that much compared to other flight sim stuffs. If you are able to buy it with friends in bulk, you can get it for 15€ like I did. And it is sufficient enough for recreational flying. Even the free version is very good, if you do not need charts.
Its amazing how drews can see the planes, when he says “there he is” I just see nothing and then clouds, then he zooms in and its the tiny tiny dot that nobody but him can see moving through blue and white…
@@snaggletooth1773 Thanks for confirming! I don't have the game installed myself, but I've recorded myself playing FPS games before, and the difference between what I see in game, and what viewers can see after you turn it into a video can be pretty stark, and I speculated it was a similar case here.
It's probably a screen thing, if his monitor is big and high quality then he'll have better visibility than we have when watching the video on a regular pc screen or a phone.
21:51 “Oh, yeah?” You can hear the patience and love in her tone. Operator Drewski, your maneuvering hugging the mountains was exhilarating to watch, even more impressive than the off field landings. Edit: 27:00 ok, I can see now that Chelsea’s enthusiasm is genuine. I thought she was just patiently putting up with this. She is patiently putting up with this, but also genuinely entertained. She should be your RIO on an F-14.
But it's like so hard, I have to TMS left long if I want to IFF the whole area. It takes a whole like 3 seconds... I also love the ones that launch 6 Aim-120's at the same target lol.
I know he got really lucky in some of those situations, but after having flown the J11 myself for about 4 months now, i realize people don't really give Drewski credit for how damn good he is at DCS. In his other videos on the J11, he flew damn near perfectly in the hot situations.
He certainly has interesting tactics, and his stick and rudder work is good, but it's hard to give someone full marks for skill when they're playing FC3-level modules.
@@SomeOne-vf1rs Some modules in DCS, like the F-16 and F-18 for example, are modelled basically as accurately as can be, systems and aerodynamics and whatnot as real as the programmers can/are allowed to. FC3 means flaming cliffs 3, and they use simplified systems, flight models and other features so they are less detailed and finicky than full fidelity models, more "on rails" feeling.
I am so hooked on flying jets in MS Flight Sim right now so want to get into DCS. But how does multiplayer work like in this video? Its dedicated servers with tons of players? Do you need to own the same DLC to see them in the air? Like if you buy an F-15 but on the servers there is tons of F-16's. You still see em although not owning em?
Hey Drew! I have a challenge for you. Even though is not as stealth as the J11, use the Viggen the same way as this video. It is a STOL and is supposed to take off from road or semi prepared terrain, so it should work better!
Every time Drewski gets a viral DCS video, we get desperately needed new players into the game. Your DCS videos seem to be the most popular game on your channel, think it's time to increase the DCS uploads!
This is kinda like Swedish tactics during the cold war, they would takeoff in the middle of nowhere deep in the woods from public roads, then after the mission they would land on another random road which they never even knew where it would be. This made it almost impossible to know where they had airbases from the enemy's perspective, an unpredictable strategy
DCS has really grown in popularity, which is good because it has not become more mainstream or simple, its just that it seems more people are after a challenging and rewarding experience after being taken for a ride by COD and Battlefield for so long.
Pretty sure you killed me with this buffoonery, I know the radar was silent and as is typical nobody was reporting this in chat or on comms, got popped and watched a J11 land on the road and thought to myself "oh someone is doing that nonsense from that drewski video way back", silly.
Hahaha you really awakened my old memories. I played this simulation from 2004. when it was called LOCK ON until 3-4 years ago when my computer died. For those 13-14 years, i did everything on the server. I played the like striker with the fighters, and i shot down the best fighters with the striker on many ways. Among all other things, i did exactly what you are doing now and i can say that i watched the whole video and lived it just like i were in a cockpit. Thank you again for waking up my old memories ...
Funny thing I'm pretty sure LOCK ON was the original DCS before it spilt off into the ka-50 blackshark sim and then finally into dcs world with the a-10c
I think one of the most impressive things about so many of your videos is your ability to notice things that are miniscule. Like I couldn't see the plane at 6:35 until you did that massive zoom, it was like a single pixel
8:15 I believe in the movie Iron Eaagle, there is a line where protagonist asks if he can fire a missle from the ground. Reminds me of that for some reason.
That was one of my favourite videos of yours tbh. I’m not that big of realistic video games fan but that one was really entertaining for someone who knows nothing about this stuff
I'm surprised you don't try the Su-33, with it being a carrier aircraft, with stronger gear, and I think +2 hardpoints? (assuming it's an available option)
To be fair, the full fidelity planes are worth every penny they cost, now if you just wanna have some fun get Flaming Cliffs 3 and you get a handful of planes like the J11 F15 and A10 but they will be the low fidelity planes (aka not 100% fully modeled but still more than good enough for fun times :D)
I spend more time per DCS module than I do in most other games. If it is something you enjoy doing, then it is worth it imo. Also sales are pretty common
@@raunavyadav9479 the base game comes with an Su-25T frogfoot, which is a Russian ground attacker. However, this plane lacks the main thing I enjoy in DCS, which is the ability to flip switches in the cockpit. It also comes with a TF-51D, which is a two seater training version of the P-51D Mustang. It is unarmed, but it does have a clicky cockpit. There are some mods available for free that will allow you to do a bit more though. You have the A-4 skyhawk, regarded as the best mod for DCS, clickable cockpit, loads of weapons. Very well developed. There is the T-45 twin seat training jet mod. The only weapons it has are training weapons (small bombs that drop a smoke charge when they impact, a2a missiles that are for training only and dont actually leave the aircraft). But it is 2 seat, so you can fly with a friend. It has modern avionics and carrier capability. Great plane to learn how to fly (you'll need to know how to do that before dropping warheads on foreheads) There are some more mods, but a lot of them depend on other modules that you have to pay for. I think the Hercules mod and UH-60 mod also work without any dependencies, but they are not combat aircraft, just transport. Still very fun though! Oh another thing. On standalone version (not steam version) you can try ANY paid module for free for 2 weeks. When those two weeks are up, you can try the module again for 2 weeks after half a year. This way, you can test out some planes and get a feel for which you like the most, before buying the planes. If you do try out multiple planes, try one after the other, not all at the same time!
As someone who got fighters taking off and landing not far from home every freaking day for last 2 months this looks quite close to real tactic. UPD: I checked and those are most likely Su-27, base of J-11
I'm almost sure that turning off the radar in the Su-27/33 also turns off your IFF, so that might be the reason why you keep getting killed by friendlies. Anyway, they could've checked the F10 map for friendlies in the area.
I think he probably got a lock, but fired too late so the missile just didn't have time to track. Even with rear aspect missiles you can get front aspect locks sometimes, but it's so shortly before the merge that it doesn't really help you. I don't know how much this applies to DCS' F5, though.
@@wurfyy Sure, it still is "possible", but I've flown F5 enough to know that the AIM9P that it shoots (I assumed he shot the best version), will go dumb 95% of the time head on let alone even from behind if you're not shooting at a good aspect angle.
@@lucasZr113 Simply put, it completely ruins the fun. Blue Flag and Growling Sidewinder (plus pretty much every PvP server) was completely unplayable for like a week after Drewski put out the first road strategy video because everyone and their grandmas were doing it before the servers banned it. People hop on PvP servers to do air-to-air shenanigans, but then there's these people that re-enact the Swedish national defense strategy which forces players to do more air-to-ground than air-to-air.
This is super cool, I'm gonna check out your other DCS videos as well. Quick question though, have you ever heard of IL-2 Sturmovik? It's among the most realistic flight sims out there, and it has a WW2 setting. There are basically no instructions though, and with earlier planes you have to learn how to manually control the airflow to the radiator among other things. Someone had to dig up an old manual on the ME262 just to learn how to turn it on without the engines blowing up (which is apparently a thing that could happen irl) which I think adds to the charm and draw of the game.
But there are basically instructions on how to operate your plane in IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles... It's called the specifications tab on the map screen, where it shows you it's max limits, it's optimal operating limits, and even specific quirks and features of the plane. Also the startup procedure for most planes are completely automated, as there aren't really any binds for the switches you would need to flip for startup. The only thing you really need to worry about on startup are jet ignitions (me262), fuel mix, and prop pitch, whenever they need to be controlled manually. For air water and oil controls, all you need to reference is the specifications tab, and keep the cooling within those limits described there with the corresponding control and you won't have any problems.
@@webweaver3015 though the one thing DCS doesn't have is the crazy wing to wing dogfighting that you get from the WWI flying circus modules. Plus in IL2 Great Battles there is a much more extensive and varied selection of WWII planes, 56 to 9 (which is still baby numbers compared to IL2 1946's 388 aircraft), with damage models built for gunfighting, and being far more inviting to potential new sim pilots with simplification options. Then again, I'm pretty biased towards gameplay centered around true dogfighting and not press button to win at little triangles on a tiny screen. ;P
In MSX over a decade ago, I used to fly the F/A18C all over different parts of the world and land there. Used to pretend I could land somewhere in a mountain area, pop my canopy and just pull out a gameboy while I enjoy the view, or whatever. Then pretend a bogie would fly by and I'd take off to intercept. This is my imagination come to life. 😄
Harrier, four AIM-9M and a reduced fuel loadout. You’ll get up and down quickly. No radar or datalink, but has the rest of the capability nailed if you’re only using Fox 2.
My grandparents have a ranch in Wyoming and the airforce practices under the radar training in their canyon. The feeling from having a jet pass in a canyon below you is probably the most intense you will ever have.
@@OperatorDrewski Bro you can come camping anytime you want. You may have to deal with cows and possible haunted grounds but the views are well worth it!
So when's the VTOL version of this coming out? If they're (sometimes) watching for sneaki breekis using roads as runways, fly a plane that doesn't need a runway
I wonder, does the airforce ever do something similar irl? Maybe not landing in fields but land in secluded locations and pop out when targets are spotted?
As a primary F-16 Sim pilot, I never launch the Aim-120 unless I'm 100% sure the area is clear of friendlies. Pit-Bull is the real team killer! But I completely agree with your disdain of the Team Killers lol.
I mean, it's difficult to see what's below you, especially at high speed. You are right though, DCS players rely on radar a little too much. You can see a lot with your eyes lol.
Haha, my fav vid re created. I got into dcs and got fc3 so far, love the j-11 and is my main fighter jet because of the ir. Do you have any suggestions for a first full fidelity?
@@L44P that’s what I’m thinking, really looking into it since you can use it not only for aa but ag too. And like you said pretty much anything in between.
Just found this group and let me say your geek is on a new level. So glad you get the chance to experience this game with the fruits of your hard work. Keep it up. Your setups all of you are ledgendary
It doesn’t take much for a jet to be disabled. My grandpa worked on the f-105 and he talked about how much maintenance was involved just after test flights and it was a shit ton. Every little rivet had to be inspected, gauges, fuel injectors which are 1,000 times more complicated than a cars, and so much more. These jets weren’t even close to as fast as modern jets. I think he said the f-105 maxed out at like 1,500 miles per hour, it could be more or less I can’t really remember, but either way that’s above Mach 1.
@@RW-zn8vy nahh maintenance on modern jets is much worse. They pump nitrogen into their fuel injectors so you don’t run out of gas flying upside down or side ways. Literally the fuel has to be pumped in every different direction for all the different maneuvers made. That’s just one part of the internals. Think about how hot an engine gets, then you add the cold air in the atmosphere being blown in through the intake and that can be catastrophic if it’s not regularly inspected. When metal heats and then rapidly cool it gets hard and no longer bends, it can make it very brittle. Titanium is already a pretty hard metal, which isn’t always a good thing, that’s why they use a titanium/aluminum alloy, because aluminum is more flexible under high pressures. My grandpa said for every hour of flight in an f16 there was like 18 hours of maintenance, again this is second hand accounts from stories a while ago so it could be more or less. My point is the F-18 and F-22 are much more advanced jets and require much more work to be flight ready.
NO WAY! I think I accidentally made it into your video! At 14:15 you can hear me saying "... mic check". I just installed SRS and needed to know it was working correctly, sorry for the interruption ;)
Fam, the Viggen was developed by Saab to operate off rural roads, I bet the mains hold up better on unimproved. Also, the plural of gear is gear! "Gear's coming up" is a contraction of "Gear is coming up"

Georgia is very cool. The people are so unique. I can't put my finger on how to describe them. Except, uniquely influenced by their history. Georgia is a must visit.

Drewski, I’m a viper crew chief in real life and also dabble a little in DCS. The guidance I’ve received from real F-16 pilots for softer landings is to land with some speed brake. With speed brakes out you can have your engine at a slightly higher rpm to help with flare and also it’ll spool up faster since it’s already at a higher rpm if you need to make small adjustments when touching down. Happy flying!
That's the technique I've been using since falcon 4 days. Also see it every time I drive past Luke AFB. At least until they run out of f-16s.
It would be interesting for the game to simulate pulling the MLG-WOW CB’s for all the branches

It also comes with a TF-51D, which is a two seater training version of the P-51D Mustang. It is unarmed, but it does have a clicky cockpit.
There are some mods available for free that will allow you to do a bit more though.
You have the A-4 skyhawk, regarded as the best mod for DCS, clickable cockpit, loads of weapons. Very well developed.
There is the T-45 twin seat training jet mod. The only weapons it has are training weapons (small bombs that drop a smoke charge when they impact, a2a missiles that are for training only and dont actually leave the aircraft). But it is 2 seat, so you can fly with a friend. It has modern avionics and carrier capability. Great plane to learn how to fly (you'll need to know how to do that before dropping warheads on foreheads)
There are some more mods, but a lot of them depend on other modules that you have to pay for.
I think the Hercules mod and UH-60 mod also work without any dependencies, but they are not combat aircraft, just transport. Still very fun though!
Oh another thing. On standalone version (not steam version) you can try ANY paid module for free for 2 weeks. When those two weeks are up, you can try the module again for 2 weeks after half a year.
This way, you can test out some planes and get a feel for which you like the most, before buying the planes.
If you do try out multiple planes, try one after the other, not all at the same time!
By far the most entertaining DCS videos. Always makes me want to get back in.
Love the fact that the guy who teamkilled you actually flew an F-16 xDDD
I love how supportive Chelsea is ❤
3:31 *Jet shoots missile at Drewski*
"Hi buddy! Are you friendly?"
As someone who got fighters taking off and landing not far from home every freaking day for last 2 months this looks quite close to real tactic. UPD: I checked and those are most likely Su-27, base of J-11
If you don’t mind me asking, where do you live?

"You were right behind me this whole time"
That was scary, it took me a lil to figure out what was going on, it broke my immersion lol
Imagine being in an active war and suddenly seeing a combat jet driving down the road to attack. Haha
Drewski: The only F11 pilot who needs woodland camo on top of his aircraft.
This tactic would be so good if there was a Harrier variant with radar in game like Sea Harrier FA.2 or AV-8B Harrier II Plus
Yup, but he is using ER fox2s for no emissions, you could load a Harrier with 4 Aim9's and the gunpod.......
2:15 -- "And good morning Teamkillers, how are you?!" *foreshadowing*
I'm almost sure that turning off the radar in the Su-27/33 also turns off your IFF, so that might be the reason why you keep getting killed by friendlies. Anyway, they could've checked the F10 map for friendlies in the area.
Man, the fighter version of the Viggen would be great for this...
Yes! Viggen!
First rookie didn't realize that there's a difference between rear aspect and all aspect missiles, of which the F5 fox 2s are only rear... tis a shame
I think he probably got a lock, but fired too late so the missile just didn't have time to track.
Even with rear aspect missiles you can get front aspect locks sometimes, but it's so shortly before the merge that it doesn't really help you.
I don't know how much this applies to DCS' F5, though.
@@wurfyy Sure, it still is "possible", but I've flown F5 enough to know that the AIM9P that it shoots (I assumed he shot the best version), will go dumb 95% of the time head on let alone even from behind if you're not shooting at a good aspect angle.
Love these videos. its so funny watching people get confused from where you come from. New Meta!
Love the content Drewski, hopefully I run into you while flying
You need a bush plane outfitted with a bunch of AtA missiles. That looks like it would be the ultimate version of this strat.
Drew out here making the meta
Eh not really, doing this gets you banned in most PvP servers IIRC
@@verticalflyingb737 why would that be a ban?
@@lucasZr113 Simply put, it completely ruins the fun.
Blue Flag and Growling Sidewinder (plus pretty much every PvP server) was completely unplayable for like a week after Drewski put out the first road strategy video because everyone and their grandmas were doing it before the servers banned it.
People hop on PvP servers to do air-to-air shenanigans, but then there's these people that re-enact the Swedish national defense strategy which forces players to do more air-to-ground than air-to-air.
@@verticalflyingb737 oh, I can see why now. Thanks for the answer
So I guess we will never see this tactic in a TopGun movie. The line would be “where did you learn that?”
“Watching OperatorDrewski” 🤣🤣🤣
This is super cool, I'm gonna check out your other DCS videos as well. Quick question though, have you ever heard of IL-2 Sturmovik? It's among the most realistic flight sims out there, and it has a WW2 setting. There are basically no instructions though, and with earlier planes you have to learn how to manually control the airflow to the radiator among other things. Someone had to dig up an old manual on the ME262 just to learn how to turn it on without the engines blowing up (which is apparently a thing that could happen irl) which I think adds to the charm and draw of the game.
But there are basically instructions on how to operate your plane in IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles... It's called the specifications tab on the map screen, where it shows you it's max limits, it's optimal operating limits, and even specific quirks and features of the plane. Also the startup procedure for most planes are completely automated, as there aren't really any binds for the switches you would need to flip for startup. The only thing you really need to worry about on startup are jet ignitions (me262), fuel mix, and prop pitch, whenever they need to be controlled manually. For air water and oil controls, all you need to reference is the specifications tab, and keep the cooling within those limits described there with the corresponding control and you won't have any problems.
Il2 is good, but pales in comparison to DCS
@@webweaver3015 though the one thing DCS doesn't have is the crazy wing to wing dogfighting that you get from the WWI flying circus modules. Plus in IL2 Great Battles there is a much more extensive and varied selection of WWII planes, 56 to 9 (which is still baby numbers compared to IL2 1946's 388 aircraft), with damage models built for gunfighting, and being far more inviting to potential new sim pilots with simplification options.
Then again, I'm pretty biased towards gameplay centered around true dogfighting and not press button to win at little triangles on a tiny screen. ;P
@@SavannahBanana i loved IL 1946, but couldnt get into the newer ones
@@webweaver3015 the damage model in il 2 is wayyy better
In MSX over a decade ago, I used to fly the F/A18C all over different parts of the world and land there. Used to pretend I could land somewhere in a mountain area, pop my canopy and just pull out a gameboy while I enjoy the view, or whatever.
Then pretend a bogie would fly by and I'd take off to intercept. This is my imagination come to life. 😄
Absolutely love this. You got me into DCS, rock on!
Harrier, four AIM-9M and a reduced fuel loadout. You’ll get up and down quickly. No radar or datalink, but has the rest of the capability nailed if you’re only using Fox 2.
he can't keep getting away with this
My grandparents have a ranch in Wyoming and the airforce practices under the radar training in their canyon. The feeling from having a jet pass in a canyon below you is probably the most intense you will ever have.
That's super cool! ... so i can come camping on those specific days right? hehehe
@@OperatorDrewski Bro you can come camping anytime you want. You may have to deal with cows and possible haunted grounds but the views are well worth it!
So when's the VTOL version of this coming out? If they're (sometimes) watching for sneaki breekis using roads as runways, fly a plane that doesn't need a runway
I wonder, does the airforce ever do something similar irl? Maybe not landing in fields but land in secluded locations and pop out when targets are spotted?
That’s one of the dumbest things it’s real life not a video game.
It's just so good. Don't stop Drewski, feeeeeeeed ussssss moooooore!!!! Lulz
The echoing “nooooooo” in the valley at the end had me LOL’ing out loud. 😂
Alternative title: "Drewski intentionally practices Ukraine's air defense strategy"
As a primary F-16 Sim pilot, I never launch the Aim-120 unless I'm 100% sure the area is clear of friendlies. Pit-Bull is the real team killer! But I completely agree with your disdain of the Team Killers lol.
I mean, it's difficult to see what's below you, especially at high speed. You are right though, DCS players rely on radar a little too much. You can see a lot with your eyes lol.
They could learn a thing or two from WW2 pilots.
i rely too much on eyes
it might be why im horrible in modern dogfights and why i do well in ww2 flight sims
this radar stuff aint for me
if the jet had cool folding wings then you wouldn't have to worry about poles and bridges lol
Wonderful video, please make a third one. With the Viggen would be great
Yes! Viggen!
GEAR!!!! Landing GEAR! Are you that kid on the Boy Scouts trip that showed up and says, "Hey everyone, check out my new camping gears!"
Did you know that Ghost of Kiev was training using Operator Drewski's flight videos✈
Why is there bullshit wartime propaganda in the comments?
Go away, fed.
@@Aqueox It seems that some people react very nervously to a friendly tongue-in-cheek comment😉
Honestly, when that 16 flew over you as you were landing, I was like, ahh ok, here comes some deserved karma...
this is what the ghost of Kyiv was actually doing.
No
I love how he changes the distance of his voice when he was shot down as though you could hear the sadness and frustration from the deep valley.
Haha, my fav vid re created. I got into dcs and got fc3 so far, love the j-11 and is my main fighter jet because of the ir. Do you have any suggestions for a first full fidelity?

Maneuver kill is still a kill. nice work on surviving that ambush :)
Just found this group and let me say your geek is on a new level. So glad you get the chance to experience this game with the fruits of your hard work. Keep it up. Your setups all of you are ledgendary
Inspiring how you laugh it off, when you fail. Great way to deal with it.
It doesn’t take much for a jet to be disabled. My grandpa worked on the f-105 and he talked about how much maintenance was involved just after test flights and it was a shit ton. Every little rivet had to be inspected, gauges, fuel injectors which are 1,000 times more complicated than a cars, and so much more. These jets weren’t even close to as fast as modern jets. I think he said the f-105 maxed out at like 1,500 miles per hour, it could be more or less I can’t really remember, but either way that’s above Mach 1.
Well back then yea, but today the aircraft are built different. Also the F105 is faster than the panther and almost as fast as the raptor
@@RW-zn8vy nahh maintenance on modern jets is much worse. They pump nitrogen into their fuel injectors so you don’t run out of gas flying upside down or side ways. Literally the fuel has to be pumped in every different direction for all the different maneuvers made. That’s just one part of the internals. Think about how hot an engine gets, then you add the cold air in the atmosphere being blown in through the intake and that can be catastrophic if it’s not regularly inspected. When metal heats and then rapidly cool it gets hard and no longer bends, it can make it very brittle. Titanium is already a pretty hard metal, which isn’t always a good thing, that’s why they use a titanium/aluminum alloy, because aluminum is more flexible under high pressures. My grandpa said for every hour of flight in an f16 there was like 18 hours of maintenance, again this is second hand accounts from stories a while ago so it could be more or less. My point is the F-18 and F-22 are much more advanced jets and require much more work to be flight ready.
at the end... Drewski: "I got teamkilled?!"
me immediately: "Please don't tell me it's an F-16." ... [facepalm] xD
If you try it with the gripen it might be good because the gripen can land faster too
So, you literally discovered the BAS90 system used by the Swedish airforce, this is what the JAS39 Gripen and JA37 Viggen was built for
NO WAY! I think I accidentally made it into your video! At 14:15 you can hear me saying "... mic check". I just installed SRS and needed to know it was working correctly, sorry for the interruption ;)
Fam, the Viggen was developed by Saab to operate off rural roads, I bet the mains hold up better on unimproved. Also, the plural of gear is gear! "Gear's coming up" is a contraction of "Gear is coming up"
