F-5E Tiger II: Cold Start, RWR, Basic Radar & Flight Prep Tutorial | DCS WORLD 

Notes from a N00b: I don't own this platform because I don't have confidence that I can handle it. This video makes me believe that perhaps I can handle it. Thank you for this work, from a complete DCS N00b.

Good video, you just missed one thing. The trim needs to be set correctly for your loadout before take off or when you rotate and start to climb it can give you a nasty surprise.

I love how the guy doing the instructing in these videos always sounds absolutely tired of all this shit.

i enjoy the fact that only grim reapers could make a 6 minute video into 20 minutes.

I bought this module not realizing what i was getting myself into. I love watching the Grim Reapers and this is going to be very helpful in putting that $30 to use.

The guy teaching may sound bored but for someone just starting out every fact is gold . My hat goes off to the people who learned it first .

Cross-bleed start, another option for starting #2. Way too cool!

I dunno which version of F5 comes to my airport, but when we airstart them we only start no.2 engine, then the pilot can use the bleed air to start the no.1. I kept thinking I was missing something but in the DCS module you have to use the airstart on both engines. The T-38 is the one we have to go in and manually switch over the valve to direct air into the other engine. Either way, pretty fun little jet. Its nice to fly one in the sim for a change, since I'm always seeing them in person as ground crew. Maybe someday I can fly the real thing!

"damaged my dampeners... it was very hard to fly after that", hmm... that doesn't sound like a thing lol. Thanks to the Sherman guy for decent knowledge. ".. roger Roger roger. Roger." xD .................. roger.

I was thinking an interesting video would be an ACM (air combat maneuvering) video with some of the best pilots of each plane showing strengths and weaknesses and best maneuvers for them. Like the F-5 is a great agile dogfighter, while something like the Mig-21 is better for flying in and away with it's speed for the most part. Also, first lesson being one of Cap's biggest peeves: Drop the bags and change fuel flow. :D

You should do a training video where you have someone on the ground in Combined arms using laser targeting and someone in an F-5E using GBUs.

Fantastic Video!!!

Engine anti-ice does not heat the engine, it heats the intake of the nacelles. Generally high pressure bleed air is used to heat engine nacelles and in every jet I have ever flown it has a limitation when the temperature is above 10C. When bleed air is used it will rob performance from your engines, so expect a decrease in performance. If they’re electric, then no worry about the decrease, but you’ll still likely have a limitation. Pitot heat is generally a runway lineup item, unless the activation of the pitot heat is activated by the squat switch. I don’t know about fighters, since they will spend quite a bit of time at low altitude, pitot heat may not always be required to be on, but generally they are not turned on until takeoff on every jet I’ve flown. Here’s the general rule to follow, if it’s 10C or below and visible moisture, pitot and engine heats need to be on. But don’t have those engine heats on unless you need them, or you’ll lose power.

the developers of this sim are HECCTTTICCC

Very interesting! Would love to see more of these kind of videos

Amazing video. I only discovered you guys recently but you rekindled my love for DCS world and flight simulators. If I ever grab one of the new modules I'll absolutely be referring to these to help me learn the basics. I'm sure you guys are just as excited for the F-18 as I am.

thanks

@Grim Reapers. Thanks for this video; very helpful. I just picked up the F5 in the sale and I had noticed on the right panel it does have IFF, but do I presume its unimplemented at this time? I had half expected you to cover it in this video otherwise. Or do you have another video to cover it? Cheers guys.

So why cant you use the left engine to start the right ? You can do that on other jets .

how do you do this WITHOUT track IR cause I can't look around

Is the F-5E etc. the most successful design currently available on DCS for a noob? Pete.

Can we get harrier basics next?

The flat tire simulator.

Could you guys use the Wardog skin from Ace Combat 5 on the F-5?

Nice. I need to have a good long look through your education bit. I'm persisting with the Mig-29 at the moment. Would it be possible to give that some love? I don't know how useful it would be to do one at this minute but there was an option to set the HDD and the HUD to show different images so you could have the HDD on navigation for instance which I liked. Since 2.5 this seems to have disappeared from the Mig-29 but was still available in the Su-27. It now appears to have moved in both since an update on Friday. I need to have another hunt. Any ideas as I've seen you (Cap) fly it from time to time. I understand if now's not a good time but it's frustrating me a bit at the moment and it might be simply a woods and trees thing as well. Anyway keep up the good work your channel is helping me out a lot; and keeping me entertained. :-D

1:35 How do you use the ground crew i cant refuel/repair or re arm....

Do you have a video like this for F-15?

hi again
