1:23, That cushion is actually so soft that you risk breaking your back when you eject. That is why in the later models the fussy cushion was swapped out for a harder fabric cushion.
Advice: The RWR has a blind spot under the belly of the aircraft. When you roll the belly towards the SAM site, RWR warning will stop. When you level out it will start again. Its still the same missile chasing you. Be aware of that.
I've been doing DCS WOrld for a bit now, played a few games with Drewski in Squad, always thought it would be cool to see him try out DCS. Glad he finally made it in. I never in a million years saw myself as a flight sim guy, let alone a DCS flightsim guy, but learning the weapon systems, spending the man hours to try and figure out how to do a Case I, and then fly with squadrons... I don't know there is so much about this game that is rewarding to play. I got sucked in, ... and now I'm about 1000 dollars in the shitter with my new HOTAS setup LOL... but I can't believe I'm saying this, every dollar well spent so far.
@@insertname2429 My main is an F-18 Hornet, I do have the Huey Module, and Flaming Cliffs, but my primary bird is the Hornet. I went with it as a first buy to get the extra versatility for carrier ops, and frankly, I think its the best first purchase you can make, because carrier ops are so dang fun. Add on the Super Carrier Module - super worth it for the extra immersion and detail on the flight deck! I do intend to get the Viper soon, probably once the Christmas sale starts... and eventually, I'll likely get the Tank Killer as well. Brrrrrrrt. Edit: Oh, I almost forgot, I also have the F-14. Great module, but I've been putting it off while I master the Hornet. F-14 is a little more complicated to fly with the dated systems, but most people that master it, master air domination with those Mavericks...
@@vagrant1515 The A-10 is a lot of fun. Being that it is so complete it has a lot of depth and has so many systems for you to learn and so many weapons to employ it is very rewarding. Plus yk BRRRRTTT.
reminds me of the f 22's sneaking up on a really old f 4 phantom only to get in formation with him without his knowledge and surprising him on radio by saying "go home"
I know I'm late but Drewski be sure to use your HUD elements on the viper. Specifically at 25:12. The bar off to the right gives you info on your missile's max range and lethal range. As long as the carrot indicating the distance to target is within the lower box; you're no escape range, you can fire your AIM-120 with a high probability that you'll get a kill. Just make sure the tiny circle is also within the larger circle; these indicate the missile's ability to track effectively/get on target.
Nice little tip for the F10 map: turn the map icons to Russian in the settings. Instead of being half-ovals that are just blobs on the map, Russian icons are different arrows that accurately show the heading and direction of other aircraft. A lot easier and faster to pick up what direction everyone is going. It doesn't seem like a big deal until you try it
I don't even know planes, i know nothing about this game, but somehow i find myself for hours just watching drewski fly around with a beer in my hand because its just so damn entertaining the way he edits and talks, it's like you're there in the plane with him and hes just living his best life
I remember when I first picked up DCS in late 2018, the feelings I experienced were very similar to my first hours in Arma 3; I had NO idea what I was doing, but I was having fun doing it.
For a non exclusive DCS channel, this is very quickly becoming my favourite DCS channel. It's about so much more than just the flying. It's the choice of clips, the directing, the narrating. This is such a good channel by such a talented creator, a skill that I think is commutable regardless of context 😊

That NDS brightness reference was completely relatable. I remember fighting with it very often because I was far away from a charger and had to make the power last.
12:49 I'm sure you already knew and just forgot or something, but just in case you did not know: The S6 didnt reengage, it is the same missile giving you the launch warning. Your RWR has blind spots above and below the aircraft, so when you rolled over to pull down, your RWR lost the contact. Then you went full inverted as you finished the roll and the contact came back up coming from the same direction. Picture a doughnut, where the doughnut's hole in the middle is the center of your aircraft. Point the hole at any radar and it wont see it. Point the actual dough at the radar and it will pick it up. Also for the SEAD side of things, specifically the HARM page on the F16, I feel you lol. Incredibly hard to actually lock the target and incredibly tedious to sort out what the HARM scans for, and how long it takes the HARM to pick it up, where on the F18 it just gives it to you. Cant wait for more modes to be introduced to the F16 concerning the HARM in regards to that. Otherwise, have fun in the Viper, and have fun learning it!
Someone may have already told you this, but when you are trying to lock a specific radar contact in a stack, your Expand FOV button is your friend. It will "zoom in" on that specific part of your screen, and allow you to more easily differentiate between aircraft on your MFD.
I know this is like so late, 2 years late, but I was rewatching this at like 3:30am as of right now, and when you said nintendogs, I swear to god I just unlocked a whole ton of memories I've had playing on that thing... I lost my nintendog many years ago, as well as my DS. Thank you for all the content, and all the memories lol.
6:28 "Ah yeah that's fine. It's an A-10 it'll buff out" PS Love your channel Drewski. Found you by accident looking for a Destiny content creator who is also called Drewski. Pleasantly surprised with sim content
That “fuzz “is a sheepskin seat cover either synthetic or real I’m not sure, but we had those in our Coast Guard H 65s. Made sitting in them for hours bit more comfortable.
Been watching your videos for a few weeks now & this is the first time I've seen you go over the buttons and what some of the screens mean. Pretty sweet.
Just a correction for those who wonder. HSD doesn’t get SAM circles from datalink. These circles are predetermined positions from mission creator. As you know, RWR doesn’t have any range information, so it can’t feed the datalink.
5:04 all I can think of is: Doug: “Dad, will a Maverick fire if we’re still on the ground?” Ted: “I’ve never tried it, why?” Doug: “Because something’s about to have us for breakfast!”
I just explored your channel yesterday with your HOTAS Setup video and i don't know why but i feel like i was watching you from years. Loved your channel and videos. Keep going! Greetings from Turkey :)
Hey Drewski, loving the dcs flight vids bro. Hey I’ve heard that fighter pilots NEVER refer to the F-16 as the Fighting Falcon, the call it the Viper. They hate the official name.
Hey drew, I met you in squad the other day, my name was Kurt Cobain. Meeting you was soo cool because I've never met anybody in a game before. Just wanted to say I love the content, and I watched your VTOL vr videos when they first came out. I must have watched them like 5 times. I finally got VOLT and a headset last Christmas and it is SOOOO insane. Keep up the good work.!!!!
Nice vid, good to see you in the Viper! Definitely more suited to SEAD than the Hornet, even if it can only carry half the missiles. How did you get that AWACS callout? Mine in game doesn't sound anything like the one in this vid.
i know im a bit late, but thats using SRS so you can talk to each other a bit like discord/teamspeak, but uses the in game radios, then there's a computer ai that technically counts as a player doing AWACS' job, but as it's like discord, you can talk to it and such, or even have a real person do the job of awacs.

Funny! Read a thread from the author asking what he can improve to have more people use it... Answers were basically that many people didn't know about it and that truly seems to be the main reason... :D Should be integrated with the more commonly used comms channels, not something like 136.000...
If you want to range out in the radar just scroll with RDR Cursor to the top and it will lengthen the range, similarly going to the bottom will shorten the range. Going to the sides will narrow the beam width too. You don't need to take the hands off your HOTAS.
Maybe don't get those first if you are new to dcs. Try getting low fidelity flight models first, they are also a butload cheaper, you can get the flaming cliffs 3 (fc3) pack form less than a single high fidelity model. The low fidelity models are made to teach you the basics of an aircraft, however high fidelity aircrafts are made for the people that want the almost 1 to 1 (basically a real jet,but then in a vid game) aircraft, and these are mainly for that put in hundreds of hours into the game.
Depends, the other comments down here are not wrong, but you will also be fine with the F/A-18 as your first module. The Viper lacks too many features for me to whole heartedly recommend. Hornet is pretty easy to learn but has a lot of systems to learn and play around with. FC3 is getting like no attention anymore but its a good package to get started with DCS as a framework. Hornet is definetly the best starter High-Fidelity module i did not regret ignoring FC3 until i had like 500 hours in only high fids.
@@liamboon2168 Oh, totally, but the top comment is asking for a choice between two aircraft, so i assumed he was already sold on buying one of the two mentioned high fids. So i thought the commeter is dedicated enough to stick around.
Hey man, i love the content and because i want to be fighter pilot i am loving the dcs content! I was wondering if you could do video in the future with f-22 raptor or f/a 18 hornet it would be so much fun... Also you should contact another dcs youtuber and do a video dogfighting eachother i know it would be fun, entertaining and we all will learn about the jets! If youre reading this have a great day full of positive energy! Just trying to send ideas your way
Useful tip. In game settings you can have the F16 keep afterburner indent on. Then bind a key to your hotas to cycle the indent. It's way easier to conserve fuel when you know you can slam it to mil power without accidental AB. For the F18 I bind the finger lift for the same effect.
@@denneledoe873 I've never been lucky enough to use nice gear like Drewski. Lifetime of low end plastic stuff. At one point I was making my own indent using a plastic tab.

If you want to range out in the radar just scroll with RDR Cursor to the top and it will lengthen the range, similarly going to the bottom will shorten the range. Going to the sides will narrow the beam width too. You don't need to take the hands off your HOTAS.
Hey drew! Do you plan on making more vlogs on your other channel. I would be really down to watch
8:45 funny enough i got that reference. Gosh the nintendo was peak.
What do u recommend to get f 18 or f 16 it’s my first plane I’m going to get in dcs and I want an air to air plane
Maybe don't get those first if you are new to dcs. Try getting low fidelity flight models first, they are also a butload cheaper, you can get the flaming cliffs 3 (fc3) pack form less than a single high fidelity model. The low fidelity models are made to teach you the basics of an aircraft, however high fidelity aircrafts are made for the people that want the almost 1 to 1 (basically a real jet,but then in a vid game) aircraft, and these are mainly for that put in hundreds of hours into the game.
Basically if you're new take low fidelity jets. And if you are VERY experienced considered taking high fidelity. Btw FC3 is almost never a bad choice
Depends, the other comments down here are not wrong, but you will also be fine with the F/A-18 as your first module. The Viper lacks too many features for me to whole heartedly recommend. Hornet is pretty easy to learn but has a lot of systems to learn and play around with. FC3 is getting like no attention anymore but its a good package to get started with DCS as a framework. Hornet is definetly the best starter High-Fidelity module i did not regret ignoring FC3 until i had like 500 hours in only high fids.
@@del3teo664 FC3 is purely worth it if you might not like the game after a few hours.
@@liamboon2168 Oh, totally, but the top comment is asking for a choice between two aircraft, so i assumed he was already sold on buying one of the two mentioned high fids. So i thought the commeter is dedicated enough to stick around.
Love this jet! It’s so smooth to fly and easy to learn
When your so fast there’s 10 comments but you see no comments
Dumps wingless 30 million dollar F16 into the trees.
"welp I lived"
Hey man, i love the content and because i want to be fighter pilot i am loving the dcs content! I was wondering if you could do video in the future with f-22 raptor or f/a 18 hornet it would be so much fun... Also you should contact another dcs youtuber and do a video dogfighting eachother i know it would be fun, entertaining and we all will learn about the jets! If youre reading this have a great day full of positive energy! Just trying to send ideas your way
5:07 (Remembers Independence Day's scene with the drunk guy on the F18)
I’m an idiot for doing this but when I get shot I sometimes just stay in the jet until I get like 4000 or 2000 feet until I eject
ds and gameboy where pretty nice as a video game introduction, it worked on me!
i love DCS soooo much, and i think it is very cool that its a part of your gaming inventory.
Most underrated plane in most places, love that Viper. Best canopy too
Useful tip. In game settings you can have the F16 keep afterburner indent on. Then bind a key to your hotas to cycle the indent. It's way easier to conserve fuel when you know you can slam it to mil power without accidental AB. For the F18 I bind the finger lift for the same effect.
many throttles have AB detents. i edited my thrust curve so that my AB engages after i push past the detent
@@denneledoe873 I've never been lucky enough to use nice gear like Drewski. Lifetime of low end plastic stuff. At one point I was making my own indent using a plastic tab.
@@Kraken9911 ah, then the button idea should work just fine. i've never actually heard of it. i'll look it up! thanks!
When the DS came out, I got it for Christmas, and my first DS game was Pokemon Trozei
If you hold dms down in the viper you turn of the helmet display and it can be turned on again by holding dms down Once more.
Please try to cover as many Aircraft/Helicopters as possible. This high level of immersion is so fascinating!
