Navigation? I just use f10 map and the knee board for all my real life needs

almost 2 years ago (jan 2022)I was hospitalized because of a broken arm this video and the takeoff tutorial helped lighten the mood for me, thank you dcs sport.

@SportDCS 7 месяцев назад

Well I’m glad you got that broken wing fixed and hope you’re back in the virtual skies!

@Leroy092 Год назад

Hey, Just wanna say thanks for making these A-4E videos. I never really looked into the DCS modding scene because I thought it was all reskinned F-15's and the like. Seeing the work that went into this craft is impressive for a free mod and I am sure to give it a try now, all thanks to you! This is my favorite era of aircraft to fly, where the computer helps but doesn't do everything! And it isn't as quirky as the Viggen's cartridge system, so I might actually be able to get some flying in rather than all the accounting work a Viggen requires before you take off :).

@tommy5285 10 месяцев назад

Gotta hand it to you. The opening with the 80's style intro is absolutely Mint! and bang on from every training video I ever watched in the military! Thank you for doing these tutorial series for the A4!

I have never stopped on a youtube video to comment in regards to the production, but with you being a smaller channel in the grand scheme of things, I feel inclined to let you know along with the many others that the quality of these tutorials are fantastic. I appreciate the concise explanations, all delivered in a professional standard that allows beginners to move into understanding the entire aircraft. If this type of work isnt your primary focus, I would strongly recommend it, permitted you enjoy making the content.

@EagleSQN 2 года назад

Very helpful and simple with a clear explanation. I hope besides AAR, you also provide tutorials related to Air to Ground and control tips / tricks for this aircraft. Good Work. Thanks!

@philbivins7133 2 года назад

Hello great video, love this little giant of an aircraft. I’m retired Navy and Vietnam veteran. I remember the A4 very well. May I ask what in your opinion is the best video to download and install the latest version of the A4. Thank you and well done.

@SportDCS 2 года назад

Best video for downloading and installing would be by my buddy Sidekick65 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yt9iu7wKWrg.html

@yappydawg8985 Год назад

I know that the TACAN in the A4 mod is a bit of a code hack since the devs don't have access to all of the DCS internals and I was wondering are there any limitations or special considerations when setting up AAR missions with the A4?

@SportDCS Год назад

There are not (as far as I know). A2A TACAN is a bit of a mess in DCS right now as it is, but head on over to the discord and see if you can get a little better answer than from me!

@breaky011 10 месяцев назад

Great video thanks. Do you know what the "NAV PAC" on the BDHI is used for, and also do you know what the #1 BDHI needle does? Haven't seen a good answer on that so far.

@Altra2503 6 месяцев назад

what does the two needle mean in the bdhi? The needle with the gap points to where you want to go but what does the arrow needle do?

@rybo9494 Год назад

What is the background song used in the intro (the one before you roll the tape)? It's so dreamy, I need it in my playlist

@SportDCS Год назад

I’ll have to go back and check. It’s a royalty free track via Epidemic sound. They have some excellent vibes on there

@@SportDCS Alright thanks, let me know if you find it. And thanks for the incredible tutorials!

@jameshd8373 2 года назад

Hey man, just wondering if you're planning on doing anymore tutorials on the A4? I've recently been trying to get to grips, and trying to look for a hand with all the weapons systems! Thanks for the great tutorials so far, really helped:)

@SportDCS 2 года назад

I am! Probably cover air-to-air refueling next followed by weapons employment

@noobie6516 2 года назад

@Tetemovies4 2 года назад

So it's like an INS but the speed is measured with the radar rather than integrated from the measured acceleration?

@SportDCS Год назад

Correct. It works great, so long as the radar can reach the ground.

@ToastGaming1779 4 месяца назад

How do i know what frequency the tacan is? Like is it on the kneeboard somewhere?

@SportDCS 4 месяца назад

Yep, tacans are shown on the F10 map and are usually a 2, or 3 digit number, followed by an X or Y designation

@wraith444 2 года назад

Ah, so that's what the second BDHI needle is for... I have to admit it really messes with me to not have a course needle or heading bug.

Is there a cold war server where you can fly this plane?

@nyandyn Год назад

For those wondering, if the doppler sea/land switch does not match your underlying terrain the built-in drift is doubled in the sim. Don't ask what happens in real life as I don't know. 😅

@mayurmanudhanya934 11 месяцев назад

Hey @DCS Sport, Can you please make a video on other radar modes like Terrain Clearance, Plan and search mode, Also can you show us more on adding wp in flight
