Get ready for an adrenaline-pumping aerial showdown as three Su-27s scramble to intercept a flight of F-16s threatening nearby airspace! With numerical superiority and a head start, the Vipers seem to have the upper hand. However, after a previous dogfight considerably depleted their missile stock, they face a formidable challenge from the Sukhois. Who will emerge victorious? Place your bets and witness the action unfold!
This DCS combat footage may be a blast from the past (This is unedited footage from 5 years ago), but the intensity of the aerial maneuvers and tactical showdown remains timeless. Join me in this offline training session turned epic aerial duel, where I pilot the lead Sukhoi against the simulated F-16s. Spoiler alert: the Sukhois come out on top, with only one jet lost in the process.
Using a mix of weapons and tactics, including missile strikes and close-range cannon fire, I engage the Vipers in a thrilling battle. For instance, I usually employ missiles as a pressure device to drive opponents away from the tails of wingmen or to force enemies to bleed speed and into close range combat where I mow them down with the trusty aircraft's cannon.
The video provides a comprehensive view of the entire flight from take-off to landing, enhanced with cinematic angles and music synchronization. Sit back, enjoy the action, and share your thoughts in the comments below!
About DCS:
Digital Combat Simulator World (DCS World 1.5) is a free to play combat flight simulator. It includes a free Sukhoi Su-25T attack aircraft and TF-51D Mustang, and is extensible through additional modules as well as user-made add-ons and mods. While the Su-25T and TF-51D are free, modules produced by third parties and Eagle Dynamics are only available with a payment.
Additionally, DCS World includes: mission and campaign editors, online multiplayer, large inventory of air, land and sea combat units and weapons, AI player opponents, mission generator, dynamic weather and seasons, training missions, mission replay system and pilot log book (Although the replay system works like crap, sadly).
The realism of the aircraft simulation varies according to the type of flight model, the level of system modelling, and the style of cockpit.
There are four aerodynamic flight models used in DCS World:
Standard Flight Model - A data driven flight model, with some predefined scripting for some complex aerodynamic events. The only aircraft available to be flown by the player that has a Standard Flight Model are the three variants of the MiG-29; however, Eagle Dynamics is in the process of updating the three.
Advanced Flight Model - Airflow and edge of envelope simulation, using multiple points of force application and calculation on the relevant flight surfaces. Scripting of complex events is not used. An augmented AFM+ model which includes limited modelling of the fuel and hydraulic system weighting is also included in some aircraft such as the Su-25 and A-10A.
Professional Flight Model - An expansion of the AFM, this level of modelling includes data from complex model wind tunnel simulation, a much more detailed and dynamic aircraft model (for example taking into consideration deployed or retracted landing gear, and the effects of deploying them in flight), complex simulation of control surface movements, complex simulation of autopilot actions, and the effects of fluid movements (fuel and hydraulic) on flight dynamics. This level of modelling also includes actual real world aircraft test data where possible.
External Flight Model - A subset of the PFM made available for third party developers. It essentially defines all external forces from the PFM, but allows the developers to calculate and apply internal forces (fluid movements, control surfaces, etc.) within their own model.
