DCS WORLD | Online Comms and Codewords (from a retired GCI) 

Here's the covert special-ops code word strictly Classified: 1. Up up and away = I am airborne 2. Can you hear me, over? = Is my mic working? (over = I am not a noob!) 3. Wiggle, wiggle = Oh my stick is squeaking, I hate that 4. What's beeping? = Missile lock on me 5. Errrrrrrr = Thinking what to say (sounds pro also) 6. Bogie, Bandit, Baddie, Plane = Stuff to shoot 7. Why ya gotta kill me again? = Need to learn the Launch Missile Override to cause enemy defensive and other stuff 8. Cranking = Roll 90degrees and pull hard on your stick 9. Notching = Cranking one way then another way lots to make Missiles take longer to kill you 10. I quit = I'll be back!

For a guy just starting out, your video quality and content is superb. Might see you in the skies soon!

Although I knew most of them, that is a perfect summary of the really most important ones. Great video!

...just got to the "shrill whine" bit... :-D

Pascale. Thank you for this. A nice addition would be a downloadable pdf list.

This is a really helpful video, I think one of the things that puts me off using comms is sounding stupid using the wrong codes.

Best add-on for DCS: dishwasher appliance :)

Thanks, I am planning to get into DCS soon and this is really useful.

EXTREMELY HELPFUL! THANK YOU!

Ty, and ty for your service

You should consider doing a video on GCI/AWACS comms.

Nice video! It's worth mentioning also Bingo, Winchester and maybe Joker. Even though it's not that used in the DCS enviroment

Thanks for another informative vid mate. Nice to hear someone who knows their subject matter, and presents it so well. It's handy for us noobs! Cheers, looking forward to your next production.

Thank you first of all for sharing this. I was wondering, can you share a bit more about transponder codes and IFF in military, if there's a correlation eventually? I'm doing my first steps as a DCS GCI and I wasn't able to find much information about it. Thanks a lot sir, cheers!

Onr thing this video is missing besides one only exception is examples of how actually used are these words so to make the video not something to be prepared to listen only bit something that prepares to send traffic too

As usual perfect, thank you sir, Cyrano out.

Thanks a lot, this is a great summary in one place!

Thanks for your vids, some things i didnt know. so keep up the good work!

Excellent work TP, I am looking forward to your future videos. Subscribed

Nice refresher for us old salts who have been out of the DCS pit for a bit and have returned. Cheers!

LOL "Like my wife, when I should be doing the dishes instead of playing DCS"

Awesome videos. Please please do a video on BULLSEYE and any tips on how to easily interpret those calls. Keep up the great videos. Just sub'ed. :)

Yeah I'd like to one day get back into radio comms since I spent several years and thousands of hours in Arma sim squads, but when I'm playing is in the evening and I have kids. I haven't been able to do radio comms in a long time unfortunately. I can receive radio, and type back. Because of this I've generally avoided most multiplayer in games these days. You're making me want to hop onto multiplayer though lol

Thanks for the video. I've been consuming DCS videos at a cyclic rate as I get ready to buy a computer and get online. A lot of the code words I knew, but some, like "nails" and "spike", escaped me. Thanks. What about "turning hot/cold"?

Hey man, congrats on an amazing video. I think it is quite nice that you were able to kept it this condensed, as there is a lot more jargon in this area, so kudos :) I was wondering why you forewent putting in "Bogey Dope" or perhaps I just missed it, but I would argue its importance would warrant a spotlight for beginners. If you feel like it we could also use your input on the Hoggit wiki (brevity list), over at wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/Brevity_List

3:25 lol lol

I’ll be getting started in DCS next month. Thx for the help. Sub 116 out 👍🏻

Thanks !

Great quality. I'm not hearing you say it but in other vids where did the FOR in the call "BRAA 180 "FOR" 15 28000 HOT" come from? Is that USAF? The cleanest way I have always heard is BRAA One Eight Zero, Fifteen, twenty eight thousand, HOT. The "FOR" is extra.

Super helpful pal!

Tactical Pascale, I realise you’re a recent GCI but any chance you could do a WWII style set of codewords? They’d be simpler (no missiles for starts :) but would be good to be authentic for that era too when doing GCI.

As an F-18 player, I thought that "buddy spike" meant "fire everything at locked target"? (/s)

So glad you've created this channel! I saw Juice da AV8R mention on his channel that you had a discord server but I found these videos instead

Good stuff! Keep it up

Hello, very nice video!!! I am not an native english speaker and I would love to see a video with this in a more deep way. What to say when taxi, starting up, taking off, in flight, coordenate with wingman, landing, target ID and those kind of stuffs. To someone who was born speaking english or who was a pilot IRL looks like a simple task bau at least for me is a big challenge yet. Thank you very much!

I see Hornet i Upvote! Also : clear and concise for a fresh stater. Mission Complete!

So spike means that the enemy has a lock or already shoot at you? Ok thats confusing. I hear that often in the singleplayer and the call comes every time a air-supported radar shows up on the RWR, no matter in which mode his beam hits me. I've used it in that way quite a long time but i guess DCS modeled that wrong as you are a trained GCI like i've seen in another video. BTW you guys are brits, don't you? I think about to join your discord soon but would not if you're in the USA because it makes no sense when you are always fly when i sleep.

Is there a place I can find different load out calls?

Super Thank you

I hear a lot of people saying: "Winchester" when they run out of missiles/bombs/rockets, but my understanding is that you only say "Winchester", when you have absolutely NOTHING LEFT to shoot, including bullets! (Source: "Apache" by Ed Macy).

thanks a lot

3:28 ROFL

love it

Squelch oil?

pew pew pew

Best educational videos about topics rarely explained this well and simple.....thank you sir.

Great video it really helped. I was wondering however if you could make a video on brevity from the controllers perspective. I’ve just started controlling in DCS and it would be super helpful to get information on that.

Actual content starts at 1:37

I would like to add raygun
