In the earlier Viper startup video, it was a long and detailed procedure. Although by-the-book, there may be times when you just want to get in the air as fast as possible from a ramp start. This video is one potential process.
@@MattWagner I agree. The quick startup should only contain the bare necessities to get the plane flying and in working order. Lights and navigation setups are just icing. I liked this video :)
Pretty sure INS alignment is 4 minutes not 5....this may be unpopular but I am looking forward to y'all implementing the INS system and the other DED pages pertaining to startup.
Thanks! I spent about an hour troubleshooting the external lights to find out they are not working. It is ok if things are not working, just please let us know. Also found out there are 3 different radio menus, not mentioned anywhere. Thanks again. And keep up the great work with this exellent simulator.
Can you do one for a quick engine stop, re-arm re-fuel and startup for online... where no need to realign ins etc etc. Just pure engine off and spool up.
@Matt Wagner Thank you for this series of videos! Quick question: How are you panning/tilting the mouse look while also manipulating the mouse to click things? Are you using some sort of VR gear?
Wags, I’ve noticed your missions, even trivial and basically just training missions, have some nice details in them like other jets around, ground items, static objects as well. Is there some sort of template you make or do you just randomize what you put in and make it just fly random places?
Im really intimidated by DCS in general even though ive messed around in it. I really want this plane though. Is this startup tutorial enough for me to have fun in single player missions too?
Attention future pilots, if you are using keyboard, don't forget to press the key "s" to engaged pedal movement and allow steering of the nose wheel left or right.
So what happens if you don't wait for 60% on the RPM before switching on all the electronics? Say I jump the gun and start turning on all the electronics at 50%?
They'll run on the battery instead of the generator. You get about 5-10 minutes of battery power before it runs out so unless you turn them all on and go take a shit before you start the engine up you'll be fine.
this quick one is cool .. but i wont consider using it until i be so confidant with the full one bcuz i know if i passed on the full one i'll get that self blaming for taking the short way and skipping the challenging one
Hi Matt, could you guys please fix that blacking-out-to-soon thing which is pretty annoying? Not only in the Viper but in all the modules, real pilots endure way more G's than in DCS without blacking out... I don't think this is something complicated to do just push the sliders a bit! thx
@@BeavPlays. We simulate the USN and USMC Horent, and the USMC only mounts the TGP on the centerline. The USN does not use the Litening. However, if time allows once the much more critical items are addressed, it's something we can look into (no promises). Thanks
When I watch video about aircraft carrier (ex. F-18) I see many people operating close to the aircraft and this is very realistic instead in the airports for F-16 is not it? I remember that in a video there were people and military vehicles in action 🙄🙏
Hey Wags, nice video. Just wondering whether you could answer a question for me? How do I change the Barometric subscale pressure for the altimeter on the HUD?
@@SnaxDesAvions I have tried changing the subscale on the altimeter below the ICP but it does not change the readout in the HUD. Seems they are not connected.
Works perfectly well. Please consult our forum forums and I'm sure they'll determine where you are going wrong. forums.eagle.ru/forum/118-dcs-f-16c-viper/
@@MattWagner Oh no, I think I maybe formulated my sentence wrong (I speak dutch natively) or you misinterpreted me. My F16C works just fine. I'm a new pilot and in the training mission you (I think it's you) asks me to test every system instead of this more quick startup so I just said why would you even test all of the systems and not just do this if you can't get an engineer over to fix the plane if it doesn't. But maybe you can, I don't know haha It wouldn't suprise me!
Im sorry im new, what do I set the radio knbos and lights to, starting with the permission to start from the tower? If I don't they tower starts with hold position none stop. Thanks.
Wow...!! Never thought I would see this...!! The "microwave cold start" from Wags...!! Show'em how to do this...!! 📚..🧐 Yep...!! Being scrupulous is a preference, not an obligation...!! 😎
Wags. Will the COMM1 and COMM2 Mode knobs on the left panel be altered by default in the future. My ears hurt when i forget them. 😉 I could see you've turned them as you didn't mention them.
Look under the radio & you'll see 2 dials comm 1 & comm 2. Switch em both right to stop the squelch/static noise. Had same issue at first till i fiddled with every knob lol. Hopefully adjusted in future to the default position.
We had an update two days ago. We will release more updates as fast as we can with a focus on the most important featurs like IFF, damage model, etc. Thanks
@TheoremGames Unless the a/c cannot be safely stopped, I think most pilots irl would opt for emergency ground egress (see F-16 Fight Manual, pg 3-29) to a static ground ejection.
A 5 minute align defeats a quick start. You had it started in 2 minutes, then will have to sit there waiting for 5 minutes. I'd like to suggest a much shorter align time that can be enabled in the misc settings for the aircraft for those of us that want to quick start and get in the air. Thanks Wags!
In the real F-16 you can do a 2-minute alignment with the data cartridge inserted. Also there's an in-flight alignment. Not precise but you can do basic navigation with that.
@@braeddie What a ridiculous, useless and noncontributory comment. Yes, of course I can. Do I want to? No. I don't for the same reason I skip the checks and do a rapid startup which is what this video is all about. Most people have lives and want to get the bird in the air. If you enjoy sitting around waiting, that's up to you, I have flying to do. I couldn't care less about your need to sit there for 5 minutes not sure why you are so bothered that you had to comment about me and others who want quick align to go along with our quick startup.
