F-15E Strike Eagle: Air To Air Radar BVR Functionality (RWS, STT, TWS & IFF) | DCS 

An F-15 flying over Cap's home while he's delivering a tutorial on the F-15 is a sign from the DCS Gods. The Big W is pleased.

You're awesome and we appreicate you.

Lovely to have your tutorial back as it where the ones helping my on the F-18 and F-16. Thankyou, and keep it up SuperCap!!!!

Nice tutorial, explaining everything from the basics! If this is your first module I’m confident you would understand a radar. Great job!

I'm so grateful to have earned my degree in engineering optics while adjusting the settings on my new Samsung Dynamic HDR Smart TV enough to see any contrast between Green HUD and the clouds in the background.

This looks like the greatest radar we'll have in DCS. How very exciting! I hope somehow somebody makes an EX mod with this bad boy. That way we can do the whole 16 aamram thingy :)

15:28 IFF is coolie left long. (official manual also incorrect) Coolie right long is NCTR. Anyway, thank you for the useful tutorials!

Anxiously awaiting my F-15... Thanks for posting all the lessons learned and walk throughs.

Very Very Very happy to see you doing in-depth tutorials again. 😎

I've got this 12:00 am thing down! Wow. Freagin' outstanding, *SuperCAP.* If you are this patient and efficient with explaining life to *SuperBABY* as he grows up, he is going to have a super successful life. *Good for you!* And in the case of this video, *good for us!*

Love the tutorials, and sensor explanations. They give me ideas for "future systems" in the real world. One that this makes me think of is an "orbital and atmospheric target triangulation system" (OATTS) using an in theater radar satellite, AWACS, and the onboard radar to get an accurate track on a target, in three dimensions. These also gives DCS players a "taste" of what it takes to train pilots and WSO/RIO crews in the real world.

Yay I've been waiting for these! Thanks Cap!!

As always, solid work.

I just like the simplicity of the F-15c radar lol.

Absolutely brilliant! The best explanation I have heard yet on the tutorial videos!!! BRILLIANT!

BTW.... I was stationed at RAF Lakenheath in the mid 80's. Cool that you said you lived near there. .... What a daunting task. I just started learning the F-15E radar. Cap you did a great job with this. To get soooooo much info into an understandable way would be tough. I think you nailed it. I'm not sure it could be taught any better unless you were one on one with someone.

This is the BEST AA radar video I've found today! TYSM!!

Glad to see you making in depth tutorials again, you're still my go to when it comes to learning new modules.

23:30 This part may be a mistake because this was 2 months ago but for going in TWSH mode, you have to do the miniraster with TDC depress and then the Acquisition button aft short.

Loved the video @Grim Reapers! Can't wait for the next video man! The F-15E's Radar is pretty thorough and since it's a Strike Eagle, it can also perform Air strikes on Targets like Airfields or Supply Convoys. Also, As for the AI Forces in Stormworks: Build and Rescue "Search and Destroy DLC" (Aka The Weapons DLC), the Eurofighter Typhoons, Eurocopter Tiger's, Huey "Venom's" in the Air Force and the "Destroyers" and "Fast Attack Craft" in the AI Navy will keep Respawning at Various Intervals even while you're fighting them. And as mentioned before, the Air Force Equipment flies Slower than they actually would in Real life because of the Limits to the Game's AI, making it possible to Shoot Down a Eurofighter Typhoon with even a Hawker Hurricane Mk. IIB. I will try to get the Sizes of the Islands of Donkk and the Eastward Chain out Towards Terminal Camodo for you to try out "Operation Shoestring II" in DCS with the World War Two Assets Pack and Appropriate World War Two Warship/Transport Ship Mods. I'm still working out the Vehicles Being Transported to the Initial Landings on LST-325 but it's Generally one Combat Engineer Platoon at Full Strength (HQ Section with the 3 man Command Team, a 2 man Bazooka Team, a Jeep Willy's MB and a Pioneer Supply CCKW-353 2½-ton "Deuce and a Half" Truck, 2 Engineering Sections each with 2 4 man Pinoeer Rifle Teams, a 2 man Bazooka Team and a CCKW-353 2½-ton "Deuce and a Half" Truck, a Support Section with 2 3 man M1917 water-cooled .50 Caliber Machine Gun Teams, a 2 man Bazooka Team and a CCKW-353 2½-ton "Deuce and a Half" Truck and finally a Tractor Section with an M4 Sherman Dozer) as well as a Full Strength Tank Destroyer Platoon with 4 M-10 3" GMC (Gun Motor Carriage) Tank Destroyers and the Security Section of 1 Jeep Willy's MB and 2 M20 Utility Cars and a Tank Company of 14 M4A3(Late) Sherman Medium Tanks (2 Tanks in the Company HQ and 3 Platoons of 4 Tanks each). The Engineers are for Quickly Repairing any Damage to the Facilities at Dreimor Airstrip and Terminal Spycakes incured during the Preliminary Bombardment from the USS Iowa and USS Cleveland while the Tank Destroyers Support the Sherman's in Countering AI Armor and the Infantry in the Assault with their supply of Armor Piercing and High Explosive Rounds. The Sherman's will also be Supporting the Infantry if the M-10's are otherwise Engaged. I have been toying with the idea of Having an Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battery of 4 M1 40 millimeter L/60 Bofors Anti-Aircraft Guns, each Towed by a CCKW-353 2½-ton "Deuce and a Half" Truck, and an HQ Section with a 3 man Command Team and a Jeep Willy's MB for Anti-Aircraft Defense but that might need to come with the Reinforcements for the Operation. I hope you like the Idea man, I spent about an hour typing this up! Let me know what you think about it and I'll catch you in your next video!

Lol I thought that noise was coming from the game! I was thinking that the in game audio was cranked up more for the jet engine noise, thanks for the tutorial Cap. this helps so much and understanding each system and sub system along with the radar range and spectrum.

Fantastic video Cap.

Love your work, thanks for your help

Thanks Cap ! I needed that 👍🏻

Excellent tutorial. Thanks!

Cap = GOD. Thank you for the most efficient intro on the F15E radar!

Very clear, Cap!

Cap, thanks for these. Been watching for many years at this point and i doubt i would have ever touched DCS were it not for your efforts. I do miss the long-haul missions / race experiments though. Time for a new run?

What a beautiful tutorial. I almost want to ask my USAF friends about it, I'm sure they have to know and love their radar almost as much as CAP does.

I think the Strike Eagle radar is actually pretty easy to understand, it’s like the FC3 Eagles older brother. In real life it’s probably very similar to this in both planes.

cool info very helpful

thx for making these. for met the best no bullshit straight to the line tutorials with no extensive useless blabla

Very nice tutorial as always, I wonder about the euro fighter that was being made for dcs, we did not get more info about it.

Thanks for the IFF. I totally missed that part and have shot down two friendly. I felt bad.

Last time I was this early, the F-15 was still a leading-edge aircraft...

Thank you

I appreciate the video but I often have a really hard time following along with you. I know you have touched on this before. Great video. 😊

Does it also have BFF functionality? Datalink to social media?

Thank's👌

Grim , One tutorial I would like to request you is how to use ECM in flankers

Coolie right long is NCTR IFF coolie left long just a little mistake there i guess. cheers

CAP it's the way your words creep into my little stupid brain that makes me appreciate your tutorials. More pls. Keep up the good work.

what do you do when you depress the tds and the bottom sweep goes to a narrow fast scan of about 5 degrees. i cant go back to the wide scan

Is there a EXP or RAID modes like in the F16 or F18 to separe targets from close formations?

How all of a sudden i appreciate teh TWS in F18 and especially F16... lol

I thought I was just too stupid to use IFF but good to know it’s not implemented yet

This is gonna ruin red side on growling sidewinder server 🤣

After jet is more complete will enemy targets show on hud differently like in hornet where diamon is enemy sqare is unknown/friendly?? Thanks

God , you saved my life 😂. I had to see your video first then try a bit , then read the fucking manual😂 and then watch again your video and taking notes , but now I believe I quit ready 😅 Thanks a lot and cheers from France. By the way , if you can prepare dedicated videos for all those topics for WSO , will be great also 🎉

Is the F-15e available to use if we pre order?

What are the two unavailable video in the F15E playlist? Were they guides?

Could you please do a video on the viper variations mod?

Is it possible to share the .miz file for these tutorials so that we may follow along?

i tried that today. coolie right didnt do anything, so i tried coolie left. what happened then was that my radar elevation numbers vanished and i could not see any radar contacts at all. i could not make it work anymore.

For the IFF interrogation - I saw another video that says it's Coolie Left Long. I guess the other guy was wrong.

I don't get it. First you go into mini raster(like when you wanna lock a target in STT), then auto acquisition press and auto acquisition aft??

My question is, on the radar during capture, the captured target is cloned, the captured target then disappears and you have to capture again, is this a bug or normal? how to get rid of it? Please prompt.

yeah 👻👻

23:39 I’m struggling to get it into tws and it’s getting frustrating pressing auto press on the blank to do small area search then then aft and I’m getting vertical scan instead. Somehow I’ve managed to get tws on the screen once. Any ideas what am I doing wrong ?

Is a mod to implement area jamming and more advanced EW stuff something that's been worked on?

18:30 --- pretty sure that is the targets heading

I’ve been trying for hours and I cannot get the radar cursor to move.

any date to download it?

A Cap, there’s no auto acq right

How do you select sensor of interest?

can you please do a video on how to use the radio in single player

very very soon

All it really needs is Sniper Pod, JHMCS, and DataLink

I am not getting any symbologies on the radar and i placed planes and everything is correct, i followed every step and still no enemy symbology. Can anyone help?

That looks a sod to do but I suspect with practice it won't be as bad as it sounds

is SE radar better than Viper and Hornet??

I have a serious question: Will the DCS Mudhen be capable of having a Wizzo? Your tutorial is nice (if simple), but you do know that your WSO handles most of this, right? I ask this because I did indeed fly the -E for 18 of my 32 year career in the USAF. My nephew flies the Raptor and has been aggravating me for the past three years to take up this game. I told him I would when the Strike Eagle became available. It's becoming available soon, so it's time to put up or shut up. Also, I'd like some input as to the 'dream' setup to play this game. Cost is not an obstacle, so hit me with the most realistic, most functional equipment. One note: My left eye is blind (lost the eye on the last mission I flew), so perhaps factor that in as well. The F-15 will be the ONLY aircraft I will utilize, so no need for a multi-use setup. I'm also qualified and I did enjoy the Warthog, so I might try that in game, but not sure. One final question: What is the level of difficulty in mapping the game controls to the actual cockpit? Thank you to all in advance for your answers and suggestions.

What is castle switch ?

what is ' bump stop' ?

after watching this i realize that the F15E comes animal style, large fry and the kitchen sink

where you can play the F15e ? i cant find the F15 on steam

Lol these videos seems to be focused on hyping up the Steam users, as we were not even allowed to pre order it. But hype alround is at the max for this aircraft and so far Razban and the GR videos are not letting us down.😊 Cheers Cap.

Ayup, gonna fail this quiz. Do we get a drop grade?

If TWS is twizz, what is RWS? Rizz?

Hey Cap! How about a new scenario against Russia now that we know Ukraine will be getting f-16s?

could you start adding chapters into the video? i think itd help a lot

how do you go back to RWS from TWS?

Will it come with datalink?

hi guys i ve got an issue. When i soi the rad the radar simply doesnt works. even in the training mission my radar doesnt scan. The little arrow on the bottom doesnt go left and right and its stuck to center o MFD. cannot understand. Can u help me plese? My radar knob its turned to on Im really going mad

😂 that is a simulator trainer. LMFAO.

Gimme back my F-15E!

Ugh why couldnt they make a full fidelity F-15C. 😩😩😩

Anyone else shoot down a AA missile with amraam yet

Talk about clunk. A/G ops seem much simpler, or at least more intuitive. Just a comment about TWS AUTO selection: it does seem like a time saver, if you know who's who. There's no obligation to fire on 10 targets, and you could theoretically just cycle and fire on those you want. Should be faster than having to individually select, say, 3 specific targets.

The HMI on american jets is a nightmare.. why not use simple symbology and units on data. This is so far behind swedish jets like gripen.

I just want to fly it.

This is all still gaming. No real world applications csn be assumed to be real. Somewhere close maybe but that's not the same. We may soon see for real.

Here’s a friendly suggestion. You have one of the most complete tutorial libraries on YT, but it’s painful to watch these video bc they are so unnecessarily long. Can you remake these in a 60 second series? I can’t listen to someone explain how a radar works for 30 minutes. Just explain how to do the core button pushes to see a target and fire each type of missile at it in tws and rws. Most of us fly ac and don’t need more than a 60 second video.

First

Put 'tutorial' in the title. I came for entertainment and this isn't that.
