Idea for you, how about the YF 23 against the YF 22 and then the winner goes on to SU 57 or J 20 or fight against them 2 then the winner fights the winner out of both matches. So 4 matches in all. I hope that made sense and you get what I'm getting at. I really hope the YF 23 is modelled in the game, as I think it's better than the F 22, and the US picked the wrong fighter.
My mum has a bit of his summer palace in her fish pond. A nice bit of ornate marble from a fire place surround. Like you, all value items were gone before we got there.
Recently found this channel. Have watched many of the videos. It's alot of fun just to watch. Your pre briefing is excellent. My favorite ones are when things go wrong. Makes it more real. I'm sure alot of young future pilots watch you guys. God bless.
I watched for a year and finally said enough is enough and downloaded DCS played with a keyboard and mouse for a week or two until I could get setup with a stick, throttle and VR I haven't regretted the first 700 dollars I have spent.
@@t.r.4496 I may try as well. It does look like a lot of fun. Their humor and fun together makes it better though. I could definitely see it being time consuming as well.
@@GSXR750ization it's a great community. I just joined a random server one night after playing single player until I felt I was ready and didn't realize it was an Australian server but the few guys running it said join the discord and I made a couple of friends. It's not a game where you will find 10 year olds yelling racial slurs every 10 minutes. Most people who play are adults with manners.
@@t.r.4496 Well no high pitched racial slur is disappointing but I will in fact give it a try anyway. I was in army 18 years before medical discharge. But everyone knows the fly boys may have well all been called Maverick and Iceman. Just so undeniably cool. Especially the A10 pilots. I swear they had coms scripts. Straight Hollywood.
@@GSXR750ization they have a video uploaded for people starting out it's maybe a month or two old. Gives you the cost and what to purchase. I bought my stick and throttle off of eBay and got it for 50 dollars. But hey you can download it for free and fly a few Russian planes do some training and missions with a keyboard and mouse before you put cash in it and see if it's what you are wanting to do. Don't drop a bunch of cash then get frustrated with it and say no I don't like it then you're out a bunch of cash. I played two weeks with a keyboard and mouse and was getting good with it that's when I said yeah I can actually be awesome with the right setup. Dip your toes in it and test the water.
I love these missions, for some added “realism”, you could setup surprise spawn defenders… since military intel is only so accurate, additional fighters, sams, or ships etc. could appear before, during or after mission checkpoints.., obviously you’d know they’re going to happen, but forcing the grim reapers to adjust on the fly would be a awesome challenge and would definitely spice things up.
CAP, another mission idea: Geekpoet's version of Aces:Iron Eagle 3 * In this mission the Blue side is attacking a Mexican Cartel's main headquarters, drug production facility and 4 light attack aircraft using only Warbirds. The rules: * Each side only gets one life. * There are no SAM sites defending the Cartel's buildings. * The Red side will have a few soldiers on the ground defending the Cartel's buildings using only light machine guns. No large caliber weapons are available. * Blue Side: The Blue side wins by destroying the Cartel's main headquarters, the drug production facility, and the 4 light attack aircraft. There is only 1 plane available for each of following aircraft types. Once someone selects a particular aircraft it is then removed from the list. Messerschmitt Bf-109 Lockheed P-38 Lightning Mitsubishi A6M Zero Supermarine Spitfire Weapon load out is determined by Blue pilots. * Red Side: The Red side wins by defending both of the Cartel's buildings plus the destruction of the Warbirds. The Red side will be using either 4 Aermacchi MB-339 or 4 Aero L-39 Albatross. Again, weapon load out is determine by Red pilots.
I was a aviation ordinancemen in the United States Navy and as far as I know f-14 tomcats for long range interceptors they didn't carry bombs but maybe there's something I don't know where my bb stackers at (AO2)
SA-15s can't shoot above 20,000 ft, and cannot target a HARM at full burn, so if you fire the HARM at min range, it will almost always hit. Also, it's very easy to drain an SA-15, because the range is so short.
I‘m a new viewer and like you’re channel very much and have also a request for a video. Maybe the new Luftwaffe with eurofighters and tornados against the old. Would probably be a cool video if it’s possible. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 😊
Simba talking about the engine spool time reminds me of the spool time of the engine in a M1 Abrams. You gas the throttle and it takes about 1-2 seconds before you feel it. For those that don't know, the engine in an Abrams is a modified jet engine. o7
It's been soooo frustrating. DCS worked on my computer for ages perfectly fine. Had to wipe and reinstall windows, and now DCS always fails at the same step, right before the mission starts. Can't figure it out. Sorry to rant about that here, but I love this game and miss being able to play it.
There's Direct X files in the DCS folder. Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/distr run both .exes and in the Direct X folder is DXsetup run that one also. Worked for me, had the same issue
I suck so bad at aerial refueling, and like Simba stated, it's all about the throttle control. I can stay even with the tanker I just have so much trouble with my speed. And I am sure it's exactly how he described it. Not patient enough to wait for the engines to spool up and give me that little bit of speed...so I add more and now I am over shooting. I am getting better tho. And the jet makes all the difference. The F-16C is the worst one for me, the Hornet is the easiest. All the others are a mixed bag
Dear Cap and GR Crew, Could you re-run your recent ARC LIGHT mission with the Olympus Mons mod so someone could plant SA-2s around the target? Or, could you let the MiGs get in the fray for the Phantoms/Simba's F-5 to fight?
I would like see a video of just the sound of Aircraft on flybys Jets & Warbirds. Aircraft flyby some Observers on runway Subsonic(no boom) Which engines sound the best! A lot of videos just hear the boom, wonder how unique are the engines sounds?
I wonder if the Buccaneer S2 with the Martel TV Guided Anti Ship Missiles will make it into DCS. Would be interesting to see them vs Comparable ERA Soviet Warships to test effectiveness
Here’s a good hypothetical mission for you. Could a couple of modern fighters have protected Darwin when it was bombed by the Japanese in WWII? Or could a couple of modern fighters successfully targeted the Japanese midget submarines that attacked Sydney Harbour during WWII?
Regarding the actual mission in reality, how did the assigned attack aircraft fail a bombing mission but a fighter interceptor that wasnt designed to bomb succeed? 🤔🤣
It actually was designed to be a ground attack capable F/A-14 during conception, and even included internal components for it but never used. Budget cuts and existing platforms ended up putting that role on the back burner until desert storm / operation southern watch Era where the cat finally came to use its full potential extremely well - if not too late in its lifetime.
A hypothetical for you: Could Iraq have seized the Tunbs islands at the start of their war with Iran? Holding it would have been another thing, of course, but did they have enough long-range righter-bombers to pave the way for a few AN-12s loaded with troops & gear? Given the lousy state of Iran in 1980 I think 6 transports would have been enough, but at least 3 would have to land to unload heavy weapons. Do-able?
if gravity affected fuel flow, they wouldn't be able to perform half the manoeuvres they could without the engine shutting off. As a pure guess I'd say it's a closed pressurised system.... outboard fuel tanks hang below the aircraft.
@SA80TAGE I'm not talking about fuel that's in the tank. I'm wondering about fuel running in from the probe. Maybe the probe is up high just for visibility, or maybe it also needs to be higher than the tanks so fuel can fall into them. Just wondering if anyone here knows for sure.
@@hanrockabrand95 wouldnt the nose of the aircraft interfere with lining up the probe with the hose?I mean if you are flying expensive aircraft,best keep it simple
@rorynesta7766 I never said it would be a good idea to try in real life, I just thought it might be a fun challenge for GR. But I don't think the nose would interfere.
@@jamespaladino2784 honestly, it’s the real reason. The age of these birds in the end of their life those buttons on the front panel would fall out! So there was some quick navy maintenance techniques used on birds that the HB F-14 will show off
What did you even need a tanker for? Dont tell me US Navy supercarrier has to be stationed so far away from Saddam Hussein loyalist held Basra that F-14 and F-18 need a tanker for this journey. AFAIK, Iraqi Army had just fairly short range anti-ship missiles such as Chinese Silkworms.
