I saw somewhere that the US Navy uses a ‘no higher descent rate than your current altitude’ rule, ie descending through 5000’- max 5000fpm descent rate, 3000’- max 3000fpm descent rate etc. The idea is you always have 1 minute to think / react / live! Makes sense I suppose to gradually slow your descent rate as you come down lower rather than ‘cloud boring’ yourself into the ground.
Great video, just so you know you can black out by going into assistance options and you can select the g suit option on or off, and civillian pilot is the lowest option, so for a low negative g or a 3-5 g turn you will blackout
Great video and great to have you back! All these ‘Tornado’ references along with the recent Just Flight update on their Tornado makes me so excited for that to be released!
Fascinating. I love this sort of video where we can learn interesting stuff from your RAF experience. I fly RC model aircraft and some are available with a 'panic button' on the transmitter that will take the model from any attitude to straight and level. Can save new RC pilots a lot of money! I had no idea that a grown up version of this tech existed in 1:1 scale!!
@@cgaviator I don't like this newfangled stuff at all. In my days, we still "grounded" our models for inexplicable reasons and learned lessons for the future from them. 🤣
I still think how fkin cool it is that you were a Tornado Pilot. 2 years of school left before I submit my application to the RCAF. We just ordered 88 f-35's so gonna put my name in the hat. Great Video man
Great video mate. Would definitely watch future tornado videos with your experience, or other aircraft. It would be very interesting to see simple things flown but flown as in the RAF.
I'm not sure if in DCS World the F-16 has it, but in Falcon BMS, that system is implemented, coupled with the TFR (Terrain Following Radar), we define what's the minimum altitude before the aircraft takes control and pulls the stick for you. Happy New years !
I know that you said there should always be a pilot in the cockpit. What about remote controlled fighters with humans pulling the trigger? That would allow the planes to fly to their limits and humans are responsible for any use of munitions and navigation.
Great video! Thank you very much, I enjoy your channel a lot, I learned a lot from you! Please add a button to buy a coffee or support you in some way, I looked but did not see. From your videos it is clear how important is to look around freely, have you tried VR? I fly the sim in VR all the time and I can look around like in real life. Of course I use physical joystick/yoke/pedals/thrust. Thanks again.
You’re very kind, but I get a few pennies from the ad revenue which pays for my flight sim habit! 😅 I don’t use VR as I like to cross check my other screens and it uses too much PC resource when I record the screen at the same time.
Did I hear you say that you need security clearance to be permitted to use certain military based flight sims? Civilians need it to play at fighter pilots?
Are you sure you can't black out in the sim? As far as I know they implemented a G-Forces simulation that can be turned on in the options. You can then choose wether you are wearing a g-suit and if you are a military or a civilian pilot.
I like flying at treetop height when I'm in a fast jet,it keeps me from loosing concentration and dozing off now and then.Wiil ypu be trying out my tower bridge challenge?I still haven't managed it...............................................................
Really interesting. Just read a book about "Human factors" I suppose it's probably most relevant to fast jet pilots, especially single seat jets. A question if I may? Been trying some display flying in the Hawk. I really struggle with spacial awareness. ie losing the runway.... I've done as you recommended with the course bar etc. Any tips? It maybe that my flying just isn't accurate enough and it's just practice practice. I'm on xbox, so no eye tracker. Thanks!
Thanks, and yes, human factors is a big thing, in all aviation really. And it’s hard without eye tracking. Can you set up custom cameras so you can look back past the seat briefly? You should be able to fly it by the numbers and the runway appears over the top of the loop etc. perhaps you’re getting a bit wonky due to pulling too much g? Or slightly not wings level throughout? Definitely need to look around somehow 👍🏻
@@cgaviator maybe, as my gliding instructor used to say, practice practice practice. I'll keep trying, still great fun. Hawks are a bit faster than gliders...lol. thanks!

Yeah, I remember that. There’s also a degree nose down per 1000ft but I can’t remember the rule now.
Great video, just so you know you can black out by going into assistance options and you can select the g suit option on or off, and civillian pilot is the lowest option, so for a low negative g or a 3-5 g turn you will blackout
Ah yes, I should have remembered! Does it delay your regaining consciousness? Or does video on come back as soon as g is released? Thanks
@@cgaviator Yes i believe it does for a short period of time, but its only a couple of seconds you are unconscious
Great video and great to have you back!

Yup, me too! 😁

@@reddebarone477 yup, and still learning! 😅
@@cgaviator My hardest lesson was:
“Never pull while flying inverted.”
Sweep up debris, set it on fire, pee out.
🤣
between me playing Msfs and watching your vid they help me get over my itch to be a military pilot because IRL can’t be one because of health problems
Glad I could help!

Thanks, and good luck with the application! It’ll be absolutely life changing 👍🏻
HE'S BACK!! We missed you! Hope you're doing well. Hope you had a great Christmas and a are going to have a great start to the new year!
Thanks! Happy to be here! Same to you
You can black out on the sim. It's the G effect settings.
Ah, I switch it off and always practice good g strain! 😂
Great video mate. Would definitely watch future tornado videos with your experience, or other aircraft. It would be very interesting to see simple things flown but flown as in the RAF.
Thanks, and sounds like a plan. Can’t wait for the Tonka
@@cgaviator you and I both mate. I’m going to have to buy a flight sim set up!
good to see you back at your best !
Thanks for saying, much appreciated 👍🏻
Excellent video! I'm going to have to try this on my own. Thanks!
Thanks, good luck not hitting the ground! 😅
Excellent video Chris must see what i can use to test GCAS. Thank you amd happy new year
Thanks, same to you!
Great vid as per. Look forward to the next! 👍
Thanks 🙏🏻
Another awesome video. Keep em coming!
Thanks! Motivation always welcome! 🤗
Once again, a very interesting video with beautiful aircrafts👍
Thanks, appreciate it 👍🏻

I couldn’t find reference to the BMS version. DCS doesn’t as it’s not the correct block of F16 I believe. Thanks
The new Su30 mod has it in that aircraft.
@@AJS86 su30 in DCS?
@@cgaviator yeah a 3rd party mod from Codename Flanker.
Only been out a few days with new flight model and thrust vectoring etc.
@@AJS86 nice, I’ll have to take a look!
Pilots can blackout on Xbox. It’s under assistance options but idk if PC has the option.
>pause
>assistance options
>user experience
>g effect.
Yeah, so I hear! 😁 Thanks 🙏🏻
I know that you said there should always be a pilot in the cockpit. What about remote controlled fighters with humans pulling the trigger? That would allow the planes to fly to their limits and humans are responsible for any use of munitions and navigation.
Can of worms there! Depends on the tech. Having a pilot involved makes people assess situations differently. In a good and bad way I guess.
U can go in the sim if u go it to settings and change to civilian pilot and not military it is possible
Yup, i've been thus informed! I was actually meaning black out for real! lol

Ah, I meant literally! 😅 But you are probably right
I Fly the F35B it is so easy to hover about. Have you landed it on an oil rig yet or the back of a moving ship?
Yup, far too easy. In fact, I did a rolling ship landing in the industry sim as a young pilot wannabe. Still too easy! 😂
