DCS Hornet Startup Procedure vs Real World 

"multi-million dollar jet" i bet that describes every single jet currently in existence :D

Hahaha

hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahaha

@Phil Collins so like 1 jet lol

@Phil Collins 3 is like none. Or, like 1. Also if ther are 9, that's is still, like none, at all. That level of casualness about my admitted ignorance and laziness to look into the matter, was all apparent in my original if you look deeper. I said 5 words and 2 take away from the rest, "like", and "lol", the position of the word "lile", negates the specifics numeric value of even a numeral, like 1, coming after it. I'm going on , like, forever, I know.

@Jul Ian 12:07

Can confirm we do this.

oh yes please...

@Matteo Rosso as long as hes just dubbing it and not writing the script himself

Yes, some variety from hearing the same voices.

Call it, "Mover ruins the manual". I'd watch.

Wish list haha

Oh, there's the answer...

Let's see which mfd page on taxi is in the new tutorial haha. Very interesting to watch these, great input. If we ever get a ground crew running thru hand signals it would be huge step for immersion. The supercarrier adds a lot with its crew on hook up

@@lankypilot778 They once said that it is planned for the Supercarrier that brown shirts take you through + yellow shirts guide you from parking to the cat!

in the training, you aren't even instructed to turn on the IFF via the UFC

@@mirandaab972 when the training was first done it was not in, as mentioned the training will be redone. thanks

And kneeboards on those legs. And a stick you can't hide.

Laughs in Douglas Bader

i suggest shift + p :D and you will have legs and even arms

@@koksem shift + p, just like irl. I do this in my car all the time when I drop something and my leg is in the way.

@@ChannelScottify well but you can show and hide legs if you want to see more buttons as without vr it's really hard to click a button that hidden under your leg

Wow, you and everyone else who has atleast 10hrs in the F/A-18....🤦🏼

@@LegalLowGround its a joke pal. Relax

@@gureno19 this dude rlly got butthurt about guys with jobs who can’t play simulators 24/7 and just want to click a few buttons in the cockpit and fly around

and@@LegalLowGround

lol I just made the same comment. Should've known someone would've already mentioned this :P

@@slyderace You both beat me to it xD

there were some good quips on this one...

My personal favorite the bit about microwaving the ground crew and Mover says, "There is no ground crew. They got bored and left." 24K gold!

Who needs a HUD when we have JHMCS

@@natthaphonhongcharoen Not what he's talking about... The tutorial wants you to bring up the HUD on the left MFD

I did this just the other day and seems to be pretty much the same

and yet they haven't made a new tutorial. In fact they haven't made new tutorials for anything at all despite many changes to modules. They also don't have a single tutorial for the F-15C yet they have multiple for the Russian FC3 aircraft.

"...and your ground crew got bored and walked away..."

@@CWLemoine Would be a very nice added feature (as others have mentioned..) to have ground crew signalling the pilot as in real life during a start-up (finished wave/thumbs up & salute ;-).

@@NesconProductions When it comes to DCS, wish in one hand crap in the other. See which fills up first. They focus more on making money with new unfinished EA modules than implementing quality of life improvements. We've been whining about the AI for 10 years now.

@@RedTail1-1 Haven't been doing flight sims for a few years (since I dabbled with Il-2) & never tried DCS. Do know though that EA sports games (that come out in a yearly..) the company has a long reputation of not fixing stuff & just keeping plowing ahead with the next additions 🙄. (A bit off topic..) I will plug Call To Arms - Gates of Hell as the best WW2 ground combat simulator (only game I've currently got loaded on my PC). Combines an RTS (real time strat.) will an optional FPS (first person shooter) mode, rather unique. Incredible modelling, animations, intelligent AI & a large community of 3rd. party modders - highly recommended 😘.

IMO, still should have directed goto IFA from the start - don't remember NAV ever having INS drift when Hornet launched anyway.

They didn't build in INS drift into nav until they finished implementing IFA

"Digital Combat Simulator World" is a game that.... (grinning, ducking and running)

Karens are people like you, who seek to blindly destroy anyone's opinions that doesn't match with the ideologies that you are possessed by. Then there's people that are actually able to think critically, for themselves.

@@KevinS47 please inform me as to how my *joke* sought to "blindly destroy anyone's opinion that doesn't match with the ideologies" I am "possessed by." Also, how do you know what faculties I have for critical thinking? Clearly, this is a game, marketed to and used for the enjoyment of people en mass. It doesn't take a philosopher (someone who thinks critically for a living, in case you were unaware) to figure that out.

I am so triggered right now :D

@@KevinS47 it's a game and you are the Karen

It's Really interesting! as DCS is the closest non-pilots (like myself) get to military aviation.

Hell, I'm a pilot, but this is a whole different perspective. I've only flown civilian aircraft and the mq-1c Gray eagle drone. I always wanted to be a naval aviator, but back in the '80s my eye sight was too bad. Now I'm too old.

I agree!

how did you comment this 15 hours ago? The vid was just released lol

@@nothingleft1271 Time travel!😂

But really man how?

@@nothingleft1271 second glitch in the matrix I’ve seen today.

Yes, the auto start will check all of the things that it skipped in the manual start. Not sure why it wasn't instructed here.

There's a pilot model, but it just gets in the way since you're not actually in the pit.

@@mobius7089 where?

@@JZainbear L shift+p toggles the pilot model.

@@mobius7089 3 years with DCS and I didn't know that. LOL

we need to replace Jester AI with Lemoine AI *"TOMCATS"*

Call it how we did it in the Fleet...... oh wait ;) errr I mean on shore

that would be great to see on shore and aircraft carrier start ups from real pilots ! I hope Mover hears this out :)

You can do anything, but not everything.

@@CVSiN Spoken like a true PC :) VFA125/VFA147 here. PC in both. 2005-2011

@@J.Wick. I've heard of something called the 'line shack' where PCs start out. What does that refer to?

@@agostonbazmajer1100 the line shack it exactly what it sounds like.... when at a naval air station there's a shack on the flightline that is the plane captains work center. So in Navy speak where ever the plane captains work out of is called the Line Shack.

@ Scoobz187 That! While I watched the RL inserts I wondered at those two gals mirroring each other movements: it looked kind of comedic since I knew nothing about the reason why they were doing it... I even thought that one of the Ground Crew that was missing in DCS leaked in the RL footage. Eheh ;)

Shit. Shit shit shit. This is RU-vid. They don't give a shit about people saying shit.

i do believe GPS was around before the F/A-18, the system was classified back in the day and not open to non Military use, later they relaxed a little and allowed civies to use a down graded signal, and later still to the system everyone now enjoys

@@bleeckertb If by "downgraded" signal, you meant there's an unencrypted signal and encrypted signal, this is still the case. Though apparently civvie receiver can, through black magic, still somehow use the encrypted signal to gain some accuracy. If you meant selective availability, well, that hasn't been a thing for like 20 years, because differential GPS made it irrelevant. Coast Guard ran DGPS stations that "unscrambles" GPS signal that was scrambled by Air Force; the whole selective availability thing was literally peak federal government.

Chuck's guide has updated startup procedure, and it adresses the checks Mover mentioned. Also, if the mission date is before the year 1986, you would use NAV mode instead of IFA.

I feel the same way. Every time I am in Cold Lake (Canadian Hornet base) and waiting in the viewing area, I get goosebumps when you can start hearing the jets crank. Love it!

*makes 1 hour clip

Navy ground crew always look so dorky with their motions lol

AFAIK, Lemoine never flew from carriers. That said, he’d still have better attempts than 99,9% of virtual aviators 😏

@Vim Fuego You should check out Lex's videos.

you should get a viper pilot for that

@@mikkihintikka7273 Mover is also a Viper pilot.

i second this request

Probably you would skip the engine fire tests + the checks mover mentioned (hook etc).

I just press '6' in Fighters Anthology, and my plane goes from cold to afterburner instantly.

i second that

True but also bear in mind he is a big man, pretty much at the top end of the metrics for fitting in the cockpit. I think he once said is he a tad over 6 feet tall.

That is not how it works in real life. Never did a stored heading alignment in the Hornet.

@@CWLemoine interesting to know, thanks for the reply and keep up the awesome videos!
