Hey Cap. I just started playing DCS and i must say, of all the channels on youtube, this channel is my go-to channel for f18 tutorials. So keep up the good work!!
Excellent video! This is missing in DCS, after a few tutorials for take-off, landing and weapons, you are left to yourself to be shot at in dogfights without understanding anything about it. They should do modules specific for BFM with theses green gates in the sky to learn and practice.. I would buy it!
In the Vertical Scissors, there's the effect mentioned in the Art of the Kill as "the hand of God" (or simply gravity) pushing down both planes and because of that, each one of the pilots will have their advantages, BUT, that will only come when they're "the high guy". Gravity will help him put his nose down on the enemy before the low guy can bring his nose up for the shot, just as experienced by both Cap and Signore in the last demonstration.
Hello. A recent subscriber of yours. I just got back to flight simming after I skipped a couple of years (~5-6). I used to have a TIR5 back then but I sold it. I am waiting for my EDTracker to arrive at the moment. I love dogfighting and basically all A-A encounters and I realized not having a head tracker is just not the same thrill as before. Anyways, I really appreciate your videos about DCS, there are lots of information and stuff that I have to learn or re-learn and you do it in a fun, informative way. Keep it up mate :)
Great video. The one thing that could've made it a little more informative is for you to display a live view of what exact controls/movements/throttle changes/key strokes are being used at the moment the aggressor/defender is making their maneuvers.
I don’t think I’ll ever fly a real plane and I just got this as a random suggestion but wow it’s so interesting and this guy is easy to listen to. I wonder if there is a community for this
What I do, and something I learned from Ace Combat is to combine horz.+vert. scissors w/ slow & fast speed and Pugachev's Cobras/High Yo-Yos now and then. To escape a scissor is to do a jinx in any direction away from opponent to then re-engage. My dog-fighting style is improvisional, so the recaps look like a art form.
So good explaining, so good filming and showing how it's working, what is the main objective in dog fight. Thank You so much for sharing these priceless information for free. Actually after this video I'am the devil in dog fights. Thank You very much. Peace to You, and your families.
...like 2 sine waves out of phase....you must be an Electrician (like myself) or Electrical Engineer. Anyway wanted to say Thank you! Very Informative, and Much Appreciated!!
Well, FINALLY that pretty old (but gold) video lession that came with the original copy of the Falcon 4.0 simulator, "Art of the Kill" is becoming outdated - while still excellent - source of theoretical knowledge on dogfights. Now we can have AMAZING Grim Reapers style demonstrations for learning pilots.
thanks, this is exactly the kind of vid I’ve been looking for. AI guys seem to find my 6 and stay there. Is this the free version of Tacview or did you register?
Is there a video with a list of the software you use. I know DCs has a replay function which means it saves the missions so I'm wondering what software do you use to make anlysis post mission and get those trajectories and force vectors and so on. What are you using to visualize the flights?
