DCS World - Case I Recovery Tutorial - Followup 

Be aware this shows true, not magnetic.

What is the difference between the ships heading and the landing strip on the carrier? If the ship is traveling at 180 degree due South, what’s the heading of the landing strip? 187? 186?

@@ericandi - 9 degrees

You can also set your hsi to true, data - a/c then hdg to true

Didn't know that, thank you good Sir!

Also F9 for a direct look at the ship gives the info too.

Ah cool deal! I always press Ctrl Y 2x and that bar goes away, i never look at it so never thought about this, but good tip!

Last I tried it didn’t work, but could have been fixed for all I know

Only if its from your skin flute sweety

I suppose i do this to, you can see it in the video... failed to mention tho, good point.

I like the realism factor, I love using proper brevity, radio comms, etc. but ya end of the day it is a video game where you should be able to do things you can’t do irl, have fun and don’t put down others that play the way they want to play, which goes both ways :) if they want to be elitists that’s totally fine too :)

Yep I have no issue with the realism bar none so far at least DCS is the best. I agree regards brevity and radio comms of course and I suppose individuals want to 'play' in a server then I guess they accept that responsibility. However others need to chill though and help grow confidence to encourage them. The winner will be DCS in the end with players buying new modules and new modules being developed... Just my thoughts is all. Thanks

Thanks

It’s in the works :)

What a little stuck up bitch he is. Jabbers is giving us free information on how to properly do things.

What I do !?

ATC was not implemented at the time of making this video

Coming back to add to this comment, if anyone is brain dead like me, to find the TCN option on your DDI. Make sure you are on the HSI page and NOT the SA page. They look extremely similar/are the same for all intents and purposes. Spent HOURS trying to figure that out before I found a comment from 2018 on the forums lol

I could do that, but it won’t help MP 😂

Works like that now, a really recent addition, ICLS didn’t work when I made this video

Binding is called Cage / Uncage

I will try that tnx Jabbers Awesome videos btw Excellent content and very entertaining !!!!

The one in the f14 doesn’t work or I’m doing something wrong Will try the hornet 👍

F14 cage uncage only works for the missiles, the hud is unaffected

Lol I dunno what that means

Haha, the sexual innuendos. If you don't know Crash, he does 1 minute DCS Tuts

Haha, fully aware of who Crash is, i am a big fan :) Sexual innuendo is just a funny subject, and the subject matter at hand makes it very easy to use with frequently used words like "stick", and "knob"

:), thought so , but I couldn't help myself being reminded of Crash. Love both your vids.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery :)

6.4, however you can also set your hsi to true, data - a/c then hdg to true

1. Fractions of a degree don't matter 2. You wouldn't use the true setting for this (it screws up your tacan navigation) 3. I was only trying to help :/

Ya I understand the help and appreciate it, i was only trying to point out you can set it to true, punch in the true hdg then switch back to mag and it is correct, no mess ups I use it all the time :)

From memory for case 1 , climb to 600 on brc, when clear turn back to downwind and try again

Jabbers, thank you. It’s a challenge, no doubt about it. I’m not going to lie, naughty words were used... :)

I have no plan on stopping :) they just take time

Yup just takes practice

Not aware of any key for that

It's not implemented yet

The f14 requires a bit more finess, it doesn't have the fcs the 18 has so any adjustment in speed requires adjustment to trim.

It is built into dcs, off hand I wanna say it’s rctrl + enter

rctrl+enter = Fantastic. Thanks so much for your accurate, and speedy response.

No curves for me, but I have an extension on my Warthog which gives me more precision

Yes that's wrong, the ship is moving left to right, so if you are aiming for the wires you will not be lined up on center when you land (you wil lbe at a slight angle). So you aim slightly to the right and only on the rollout, after that you VVI is irrelevant except to see that your glide slope is ~3 degrees, but you should be referencing the ball for that too, not your VVI.

Is the boat moving and is there wind?

Whoa!! Thanks for the quick reply!! Been using the basic instant action Case I which has a little bit of wind and the VFA-113 Stingers LSO Mission which has zero wind but wind over the deck is 27 knots. But generally find myself cutting the corner. Tried a 25 AoB but that leaves me very very long in the groove.

@Jabbers After much self criticism, worked out what I was doing incorrectly. Basically fell in the habit (without really noticing) when turning in at abeam my Rate of Descent was initially to great and by the time I caught where I was supposed to be (I thought) I had already cut in to the final turn, which was putting me well left of the boat where I should be rolling wings level in the groove. Hope that makes sense...… Thanks again for your videos!! Really shows the importance of having the correct Rate of Descent.

Glad you figured it out!

In other planes there is usually a angle of bank gauge, I think the f15 has one

Jabbers. I thinking the ADI indicator might provide such information but it's position is down below in the Hornet

I'll check that out, thanks!

Disclaimer I don't fly f18's in real life so could be wrong and happy to be corrected, but have flown 737,757,767 and now 777. I don't understand the rocking the throttle bit, it makes no sense to me... In real life we know roughly what power setting we need to maintain the glideslope. You set this power then correct around this setting. But you don't just randomly rock the throttles back and forwards, this is just throwing unnecessary inputs in making it harder to keep your approach stable. Which is strange because his advice on the stick is spot on, "dont jerk it all over the place". From flying the f18 in DCS it seems you need quite a lot of throttle movement for relatively small corrections. Given how accurately they try to fly the glideslope in real life its not surprising to me to see the throttle move a lot. Especially when you factor in wind turbulence etc. Listen to the engines next time your on a flight, especially in gusty winds you will hear the engine power constantly changing, sometimes quite a lot. The main thing with jets especially low down landing is you don't want to bring the throttles back to idle. Even modern jet engines take quite a long time to spool up from flight idle. Try slowing down to on speed in the hornet fully configured with the throttles at idle and see how long it takes the power to come to maintain the speed.

Yes real pilots do it, keeps the power in the engines moving and more importantly your reaction time. This was something told to me by a navy pilot

Raven Shanmugam that makes sense thanks for the reply 👍 It was just keep on rocking the throttle back and forth that made no sense to me

Ah cool, Thanks for the term, I couldn't find anything about it, thank you!

Thank you for your response, this makes sense and also works well in game. Thanks again for your response.

Look for “show pilot” in the bindings

Trim moves slower with flaps in auto, so hold it longer, it moves REALLY REALLY slow.

Jabbers thank you.......

Have to use the / comms menu and tell them you are inbound

@@Jabbers So you mean in non-combat conditions(?) when we communicate over the radio with ATC on the boat we DON'T turn on our landing lights? Does that mean that in Radio silent combat conditions we DO use the landing lights? Thanks in advance

None of the radio silence stuff is implemented

Sounds like a missed opportunity for more memes 😂

Jabbers 😂

I do play in VR from time to time, for Twitch and RU-vid I use TrackIR for quality. I own an Oculus and have a Pimax on order.

Jabbers thanks!

It is the instant action navigation mission.

Jabbers Thank you

Not in the game yet

@@Jabbers Interesting. I guess I must've heard scripts something about marking moms (insert angels)

In MP there is a script called Airboss used by some servers that might do that, there is also a way to activate the Eagle Dynamics scripts but they are Wip and not always working, so I've not tried it

@@Jabbers Cool, thanks for the replies man. Hope all is well and you're having a happy new year!

What timestamp on the video are we talking about

It is about the answer to the question how to keep a level turn. You answer that for a 350kts/3.5G turn you need 75deg angle of bank. But how do I know if I am turning at 75deg if the HUD shows only to 45deg? It has the marks for 5-15-30 and 45deg.

You don't, and if you are at 75, you are just going to have to feel it out.

Gear

Already working on possible content for shithot breaks :)

There is. On the lower left, behind the throttle, there is switch that can turn left and right and in the center has a button. Left and Right is rudder trim. The center button is TRIM RESET TO TAKEOFF TRIM. So basically TRIM RESET to what you should have on take off.

Yeah i´m aware of that being the TO Trim,haven´t noticed any reset inflight though.May have to try again or its not implemented yet :O

Reset inflight? You can press the button while flying. And it wont jerk back like the Su-27 would because of the fly-by-wire system. It will just ... fix bad trim.

Joao Carlos if you press reset TO trim it will set it to 12 degrees and most of the time the aircraft will climb as level flight trim would be around 8 degrees. I just have either FCS page or checklist open and you can see the angle of the rear stabiliser.

Never had it climb on me Oo

Nintendo 64 controller, obviously
