My gripe with the tutorial is if I want to go back and learn only one part of it you have to sit through the whole text dialogues. Hate how you can’t press space bar until the narrator is done talking. Perfect these videos way more as well.
This tutorial is perfect for beginner to DCS however in a real life scenario, you would have to do all the procedures for the games tutorial because of safety reasons. If any faults would happen on the epu, caution, or any of the test panels, you would have to abandon the aircraft.
Hey cap I’ve had an idea for a GR competition Could you do either a F18 or f14 attire scramble competition where whoever starts the jet from cold and dark , lines up with the catapult and takes off , and then lands the fastest gets some sort of reward
Note: Now you need to change the power setting to "Battery" and not "Main PWR" immediately, only do that when your engines are spooled up and you are ready to align
The one mistake you made was turning on your radar while you are still on the ground. Doing that will slowly cook the insides of the maintenance personnel on the ground that are launching your aircraft. Both at the spot and EOR.
The most annoying thing to me is having to cut off the engine in order to rearm/ refit the plane. WHY is it that I can't choose my loadout BEFORE I start the mission? It's really annoying - especially for the Harrier which can't vertically takeoff if you aren't lighter than 23,000 lbs.
It’s ok. Just take sometime. Repetition will get you there. Make notes, do the same things each time, that’s how I learned. I’m sure you can get it, keep trying 👍
One question ins stops at 10 no matter how long I wait and I get nothing from the link 16 like no frendlys or bogies and I can't see Sam sites in the hsd which is weird.
Hi. I dont understand why I can't have the distance of the waypoint in the low corner of the HUD after alignment in normal mode, and it's the same for you. I have just the display of distance with the quick alignment.
i dont get what the alignment is basically for ? .. what does it do ? is like set my way point ? or something else ? and can use always the stored one ? .. or i have to go normal alignment sometimes
for some reason my alignment never goes down to 6 also i can't enter my system altitude... Any idea what i do wrong? I Basicly rearm, start the alignment, enter the coordinates - press enter on Lat and Long and wait...
Hey Cap, do you think you could released the old maps for the previous campaigns? I'm hoping for coffee campaign day 1. I would love to be able to try some of you missions in my own time. Thanks
Not knowing about Nose Wheel Steering having a dedicated button fucked up 3 of my cold start attempts. How the fuck was I supposed to know it was bound to the S button on my keyboard?
i think this is now outdated cus i cant make it work this way, but it seems to work when i do the WHOLE start up thing that it shows in the tutorial. eighter that or im just absolutely overwelmed XD shouldnt have bought the f16 to learn DCS in XD
Well...because almost no one has a flight sim throttle that has idle/cut off detent, so this keybind protect you from accidently shut off your engines.
I mean you responded so it must have been something that took your attention and a reply dang theirs some clowns. I didn’t care for my comment so much I didn’t come back to it until now clearly someone cares more than me.

What about the Air source? I believe Falcon 4.0 used to require me to set that.
“Left control and Charlie” hahah what a legend

Without your videos I would never be able to fly any of these jets.
I like the Viper because it's one of the few aircraft that doesn't need ground power to start

Works amazing they never had a chance of catching me after stealing there f16
The best tutorial on ytb for f16 for me
Thank you for doing this tutorial.

I would love to see you guys do an Iron Eagle roleplay mission (if you haven't already). With the F16 cs the Kfir (?)/Mirage as the "Migs"

you only have to do that on FC 3 planes
full fidelity aircraft dont need a full shut down to refuel/rearm
Brilliant, as always very much appreciated. btw, have you got a VR headset yet? ;)

It's frustrating to know that I'm too bloody stupid to be able to fly these planes :(
same here
@@grimreapers Yeah righto cap lol... haven't you learnt to fly every plane in DCS? Shiiittt I don't even know how to close the frikken cockpit lol
It’s ok. Just take sometime. Repetition will get you there. Make notes, do the same things each time, that’s how I learned. I’m sure you can get it, keep trying 👍
bruh im 14 and its now the second day that I have bought the f16 and im already getting the gist of it, you'll get there
@@yungchicken3898 The fact that you're 14 is the reason you're getting the gist of it on your second day :( I'm an old man
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial! How do you zoom in the cockpit panels?
Zoom controls are in the ADJUST CONTROLS menu
Whenever i i am ready to go. The engines automaticly go up to afterburner even tho i have my throttle at 0.
Do i need a really expensive stick for this or its it manageable with a cheaper stick like the T flight X?
I started with the X. Fine to start with but as you get better you'll def want to upgrade.

Who watches these videos before even setting foot into the plane (in dcs)
Does Fast INS alignment work on this like in the other planes (M2K,F/A18 etc)?
Here is the 30 second fast align: th-cam.com/video/ywU8HmJT1vw/w-d-xo.html
If I don't press enter on the Lat and Long and SALT during INS alignment, is that why my CCRP vertical line not properly tracking my TGP?
Possibly yes
Everything is fine , for me but for the countermeasures I’m not getting any GO sign . Is there any keyboard key for it ?
Btw I tried the aircraft in turning point in the mission editor still no GO sign for the countermeasures
i dont get what the alignment is basically for ? .. what does it do ?
is like set my way point ? or something else ?
and can use always the stored one ? .. or i have to go normal alignment sometimes

How to steer f16 when taxing ?
Thanks
Press Now Wheel Steer Button then use rudder.
@@grimreapers where is the bottom located in the cockpit ?
Nah.. I'm lazy now! I learn it, do it 2 or 3 times and after that auto start all the time! I only manualy start the MiG 21, Huey and Spitfire by now.
you sound like me
you and spudknocker have both great videos on how to do it but its 2 diffrent ways. Which one is best if there are one
My F10/awacs map doe snot show coords or true heading :/
Did you select your plane?
How did you manage to make youtube encode your video with vp09 instead of avc1, even though it's just 1080p?
Can we add custom waypoints through UFC?
Think so, should be in here: th-cam.com/video/HSr-rU5c_Pw/w-d-xo.html
I do exactly that and I can't YAW the rudder seems to work put cant controll it keep going forward. ANy idea ?
May it be the Taxi light ?
I'm doing as you say but engine won't light off
Is the F-16 is the most difficult plane in the DCS World?
No it's quite easy.
Roger that! thanks for the answer
It's extremely easy. It seems difficult because of the screens and menus and all. But even compared to the Mirage it's much easier
@@zsombortoth7167 Try F-14 or A-10 if you think the F-16 is complicated.
Hey Cap, do you think you could released the old maps for the previous campaigns?
I'm hoping for coffee campaign day 1. I would love to be able to try some of you missions in my own time.

Sadly I don;t have them any more, they take up all of my disk space :(

Just learned the fa18c and now my trials ended lol
You might want to hold down the canopy button until the motor stops whirring so it can properly latch on
Throtle angle not unlock and 20rpm help..
What do you think is a better multirole? F14 or f16
16 (altough i like the 14 more than the 16)

Yeh it's confusing I know. Hard to keep up with changes.
nvm i was overwelmed sry :)
@@grimreapers your videos really help on motivation to learn tho so keep it up i enjoy them all :)
Having to uncage the throttle(s) is such a waste of a command.

It happens when you buy the entire module Flaming Cliffs 3. Can you fly both F-15C and Su-27?
They had a free weekend for the Eagle and Flanker.
Jesus dude slow down lmao
