THE MOST AUTHENTIC TOP GUN SIMULATOR! - DCS F14 Tomcat Supercarrier Ops 

The missile *k n o w s w h e r e i t i s*

Just in time! A new DCS video from Drewski was exactly what I wanted at this moment.

i had a history teacher who worked on every f14 variant and the early f15s on a supercarrier he was such a cool dude he loved talking about it

You can be my Wingman any time Drewski...........

muting the audio and having Kenny Loggins "Danger Zone" on loop makes this 1000% better.

Epic content as always! I just wish DCS didn't require a small loan to get to play. This looks so good

I watched top gun maverick 5 times and enjoyed every one of them

you got me hooked on this game

The US did not destroy all tomcats and though it is not functional there is one on public display in Oregon, it was absolutely amazing and I have photos. Touching an F-14 was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done

"we´re starting up the Tomcat"...hit Autostart :D

I can’t wait for my pc to come in

Never enough Tomcat action!

The original F14 of the Topgun movies were C versions

like i mean the F14 Tomcat Got its name the MiG killer because once there were 2 Libyan MIGS that got shot down by the F14 Before they couldn't even fire shot So.

As someone who worked the flight deck, It’s satisfying to see it so well simulated!

Garand thumb style intro

first plus I FEEL THE NEED.....THE NEED FOR SPEED

I feel like the only one who hated that movie. The story couldn't have been more predictable or shallow.

Any suggestions of public servers for the f18C?

You never closed your eyes anymore when I kissed your lips

I loved the movie

Bro waiting for next video

man the second lesson in the f14 is how to land, and in it it tells you that you dont flare

"WHAT WHERE YOU THINKING!?" "YOU TOLD ME NOT TO THINK!" is one of my favorite lines

People don't realize how capable the late Sparrow models are. Those things have a huge burn time and a max G-load of 30Gs against a target at sea level. *Thirty Gs.* there's a reason the Sparrow can be considered a dogfight missile after the AIM-7E-2 model

You might want to consider starting the jet yourself instead of auto-start. Auto-start takes longer and misses a few things, for example it doesn't set your gun counter and it leaves your altimeter in standby.

It's not the flaps that make the Tomcat so floaty: it's the entire airframe. Which is why it has the DLC system you are supposed to use that deploys additional spoilers and also why the speedbrake has to be deployed during the landing approach. The Tomcat is a plane that just wants to stay in the air

Supercarrier is one of those DLCs where you're like, "ehhhhhhhhhh this seems awful overpriced..." and then you get it on a sale.... Minutes later you really understand how much more immersive it is to fly F18 and F14. I can't stand using standard carriers now, its a must-own.

When I was a kid a family friend of ours was a top gun f14 pilot and he had the neatest photos and models around his house. He was retired by the time I knew him but I remember him showing me tons of photo albums. It was great. Rip bob Callahan. Great man

this man just keeps getting better he's a milsim lover and dcs pilot and now i know he watches operations roon ? love the content keep it up drewski

The engine increased because of the high AOA it also has compressor stall physics at low speed high AOA its pretty mint

‘Neat’ video as always, that RIO guy won’t shut up though. It’s pronounced ‘Technea-sh-ium’ not ‘Tech-neat-ium’ ;)

“The flaps make it so lifty!” - Orville Wright, 1903

I haven’t watched the full video yet so this comment may be useless, but the TF-30 engines in the F14A acted more like ramjets, the faster and higher you are the more power they produce. The F14B’s engine were better at lower altitudes and could pick up speed a lot quicker

capitalizing on top gun faster than war thunder

I watched it twice last week it was so good not the original but god tier for me a DCS player since I got the tomcat first cause you and the original I use the 16 more but I do fly the 14 every now and then.

Very nice video, OperatorDrewski, it is great to see that you enjoy the Tomcat. A sidenote: when you lock someone with PAL, it is a PSTT lock (not a PDSTT lock), which means that any phoenix fired is active off the rails. This is always true for PSTT locks, while in PDSTT it is SARH only (and does never go active). Hence in WVR range PSTT makes sure that you can fire and forget. ;-) Best regards from the Heatblur Team.

I absolutely love your videos, and I am absolutely blown away by the fact that DCS has the correct hand signals by the flight deck crew

served on a CVN carrier from 99-02 launching them was on cats 3 and 4 so much fun

Having grown up with Jane's US Navy Fighters 97, DCS blows up my childhood imagination.

Unlike the MSFS 2020 version, you can actually you know... Fire weapons.

9:30. This happened with us during the end of the Golf War. My carrier launched our F-14, the moment the Araqi jets saw them they decided not to continue their engagement. it was awesome. We literally just scared them away.

Operations Room also made a documentary about Major Tullia, who dodged 6 anti-air missiles back in Desert Storm, incredible story.

As a former F-14 ordnanceman, this looks like the real thing. Amazing attention to detail!

Personally, as someone pretty passionate about military aircraft, Ive never been able to see alot in real life, especially the F14, obviously, so the idea of active ones or even **potentially** active ones is quite a concept for me, thus I have spent quite some time on google and bing maps in the past. In the 4th row of the southmost side of the aircraft boneyard in Tucson, there appears to be a 4x f14's and if you go about 300m north followed by a lonesome singular one, I found a further 2x on the NW corner along the road. Now thats easy pickings though. On bing, the 4 are moved north 300m, however it appears that 2x are in the yard closest to the south-southeast, without wings Its also fun to try and sus out the Iranian air force bases for planes left out, You can see stuff such as F-4's and all sorts of old school classic aircraft. On the very very east side of Mehrabad Air Base, You can see one F14 sitting out, very clearly aswell. On Bing maps there's another one chillin with all the helicopters on the southside. Isfahan International Airport also has 5x out in view on the right side of the base, sitting next to their hangers. on Bing maps theirs *potentially* 7 there. I could be wrong about some of these aircraft being F-14's, please correct me if I am, sometimes I do in-fact get a tab bit too excited when i see swept wings, and they can turn out to be F-111's etc. Enjoy this useless information as I prepare myself for the hate bombardment, for this is a joyous RU-vid comment section.

Absolutely love Operations Room's content. I cant wait for the next vid

Isn’t that story about the f14s taking photos and giving them the finer the story that inspired the opening scenes of the original top gun?

Man, seeing videos like this brings me back to deployment. it sucks the F-14s weren't being used, but F-18s are pretty awesome too. Of course, I was in a helo squadron, but it was still rad seeing them launch.

DCS is looking great. I want to see night time carrier launch and retrieval.

21:38 I have no words to describe just how much these kind of small moments bring some warmth to my heart in this cold cold world.

Keep up with the great content!

I’m literally waiting for DCS to finish downloading right now. Been super excited for the last week or so since my HOTAS came to hop into this sim!

It's so cool how realistic this is with the ground crew and everything. It's badass and i'd love to do it, but i'm certain i'd be overwhelmed by all the controls.

2:43 Drewski, as you’ve seen TG:M, you (and everyone else who has seen it) will get this reference… “Why are the wings coming out Mav?” Anybody who hasn’t seen it yet… what are you waiting for? Get your butts to your nearest cinema! 9:20 that’s called “keeping up the foreign relations” 😂

I added that Kuznetsov on the server you were playing on. I didn't realize that it was trying to send the Russian fleet to the shadow realm until after I watched your video... Glad to see people enjoying the server!

random essay about the F-14 Tomcat, a supersonic twin-engine fighter aircraft developed by Grumman for the United States Navy. The F-14 Tomcat is known for its unique variable-sweep wing design, advanced avionics, and air-to-air combat capabilities. Overview of the F-14 Tomcat The F-14 Tomcat was first introduced in 1974, and it served as the primary air superiority fighter for the United States Navy until it was retired in 2006. The aircraft was developed to replace the F-4 Phantom II, which was used in the Vietnam War. The F-14 Tomcat was designed to be a highly maneuverable aircraft, capable of engaging in air-to-air combat at long ranges. The F-14 Tomcat is powered by two General Electric F110-GE-400 turbofan engines, which give it a top speed of over Mach 2. The aircraft has a range of approximately 1,840 miles and a service ceiling of 56,000 feet. The F-14 Tomcat is also known for its unique variable-sweep wing design, which allows it to adjust its wings to different angles depending on the flight conditions. Design and Capabilities of the F-14 Tomcat The F-14 Tomcat's design and capabilities were a result of its advanced technology and engineering. The aircraft features advanced avionics, including a multi-function display (MFD) and a heads-up display (HUD), which provide the pilot with a detailed view of the surrounding airspace. The MFD and HUD also allow the pilot to control and monitor the aircraft's weapons systems and other key systems. The F-14 Tomcat is also equipped with a range of weapons systems. The aircraft has six external hardpoints, which can hold a variety of air-to-air missiles, bombs, and rockets. The F-14 Tomcat can also carry a 20mm M61 Vulcan cannon, which is mounted internally and can fire up to 675 rounds per minute. Another key feature of the F-14 Tomcat is its advanced radar system. The aircraft is equipped with the AN/AWG-9 radar system, which is capable of tracking up to 24 targets simultaneously at long ranges. The AN/AWG-9 also has a look-down/shoot-down capability, which allows the F-14 Tomcat to engage targets at low altitudes. Role of the F-14 Tomcat in Modern Air Combat The F-14 Tomcat played a significant role in modern air combat during its service with the United States Navy. The aircraft was primarily used for air-to-air combat missions, and it was highly effective in these missions due to its advanced avionics, weapons systems, and radar capabilities. The F-14 Tomcat was used in a variety of combat missions, including Operation Desert Storm in 1991 and Operation Enduring Freedom in 2001. During Operation Desert Storm, the F-14 Tomcat was used to engage Iraqi aircraft, and it played a significant role in the success of the operation. During Operation Enduring Freedom, the F-14 Tomcat was used for reconnaissance and surveillance missions, as well as for air-to-air combat. The F-14 Tomcat was also used in a variety of training exercises and joint operations with other countries. The aircraft was used to train pilots from numerous countries, and it was used in joint operations with countries such as Israel and Japan. Conclusion The F-14 Tomcat was a highly advanced and capable aircraft that played a significant role in modern air combat during its service with the United States Navy. The aircraft's unique variable-sweep wing design, advanced avionics, and air-to-air combat capabilities made it a highly effective aircraft in a

7:24 last I heard there was about 2 dozen F-14Ds still mothballed in the Boneyard somewhere.

It always feels like Everyday Astronaut is in the jet, very similar voices

it's pretty cool to see the deck crew actually doing the hand signals and such

Drew I just had the best movie experience of my life watching top gun maverick, only to come home and see you’ve made another vid on the tomcat!! One of my better days thank you for all you do and keep on going❤️❤️

Watching this really makes me want to test out my new GeForce RTX 3060 on DCS so I'm gonna go learn the F-16 :) I watched a video of Thunderbirds flying and it made me want to fly that :) I'll probably fly the Hornet this weekend :)

I find a good work flow with a RIO is I hand over the phoenix controls to the RIO in BVR that way I can keep an eye for anything else and he can tell me where to position the jet, then when we get into visual range 20nm or less I take over on the weapons and RIO does the spotting, feels like a better flow in my opinion so give it a go next time your up!

"Thank you for saving my life" "It's what my Dad would have done" Man tears, engage.

Your not flying a Tomcat if you don't have mirrors turned on. Mirrors>FPS!

You’ve gotten me hooked on DCS and a new upload is always a welcome sight

goofy ahh top gun simulator

Ayo In class and watching Drewski play DCS ? Hell yeah

Did ED model the tendency of the A variant to experience compressor stalls?

The hand signals and the launch procedure is so cool to see in a game.

Your friendly F-5E with three bags here. You should try CAP in the F-5 with me. Two Fox 2s, a lot of gas, and a dream. Nuts 1-1

Piece of advise, with phoenix always use the TWS and stay high (30-35 angel) they have a lot of range and they are fast. For what You did you should use sparrows

i would love to see a game like DCS where you could actually walk around on the base in first person and talk to people with proximity voice chat exchanging stories and have mini games to play together and then once in a while you would get an unidentified aircraft you need to take care of so you need to run to your jet and then take them down or investigate the threat, maybe make a room with daily missions and tasks and such for the airbase

Talk to me goose

Gotta love the pump when you come back from watching TGM, and you load up DCS..shoot,I did the same thing😂 but I loaded up in a F-16..it was a good run that's for sure! Great video as always Drewski!! Still my favorite Toober of all time!💚💚

Your DCS videos helped nudge me along to finally purchasing a hotas and a plane for vr.

I just gotta say. Top Gun maverick is the first movie in my whole life I haven't heard anything bad about. My only complaint is they never used the original version of the top gun anthem. Some of the best guitar ever.

Drewski just so you know, the launch parameters for a phoenix are like at 50 miles, best to shoot a pheonix at around 40-50 then at 10. 10 I usually just use sidewinders.

Gotta love the Tommy Cat! Great cinematics and b-roll, great video Drewski!

I need tips. I am always the rio if I fly with a friend, but cant seem to make the AIM-54 work. I launch them at like 30-40 miles maybe a bit more. I do the exact same thing as all the tutorials. What is your tipps? Thank you all!

Succesfully almost overspeeded the flaps on takeoff :D I usually put everything up as soon as I am off the deck, that thing accelerates like a beast. Also yeah the tf30 does spool up on high aoa... Quite funny you can fly it on idle for a long time if you're empty on both fuel and stores

mfw drewski doesnt use the maverick and goose livery

too all newby. DCS as a 2 week trial for every planes, map and extra module ( like the supercarrier) on they main website . available until the end of june. also DCS do 50% sales in every occation they can. you can wait for summer sale if you want to save some $$$ DCS itself is free

Can you try to land in a carrier in MFS2020 if that’s possible, and tell us how much score you will get for landing

The Libian shootdown story kind of has a life of its own as most combat stories seem to have. Ward Carroll has a good RU-vid video on the real story of the shootdown. It isn't what we think. Apparently an observer watching the whole thing taking place contradicted the story that the Libian aircraft kept changing course to merge with the US Aircraft. Apparently, there were disciplinary actions taken behind the scene. Ward's channel is pretty good. I highly recommend it.

Watching drewski play dcs makes my head hurt but, still entertaining.

Are you playing with VR or TrackIR?

Was that a garandthumb reference at the beginning?

This looked so authentic. I worked v-1 on the cvn-71. This freaking awesome!!!!

I LOVED THE MOVIE I LITERALLY DROVE FROM GERATER TORONTO CANADA TO North Carolina TO WATCH IT THE BEST MOVIE EVERR!

I'm so glad you mentioned Operations Room. They have some extremely well done and educational videos on a lot of history.

I did think you were going to say on comms "I am balls.... deep" lol

Imagine flight deck crews having this to train for flight ops in the early 2000's...

Hey Drewski! I'm sure this comment will get lost in her but for the last couple of days I've seen you on the GAW server and I was the GCI Dark Star if you remember, love your stuff man!

for a nice cinematic shot when taking off from the carrier, press the fly-by view just before saluting

We need to being back the F-14 Tomcat. It's still the most beautiful military aircraft in the world.

SPOILER WARNING: I wasn't sold of Top Gun Maverick, I felt the whole premise strayed really far from reality having to canyon run with old planes because of blahdeblah. The odd placement of the SAM sites and yadaya made it feel more like a bond film. Then Rooster hit the chaff button for the first time and I was sold. The inner child in me seeing a flare dump with incredible sound design went nuts. Everything after that was pure joy, from the Hind Gunship coming in, to the og F-14 v 2x Su-57 (5th gen or whatever they call them in the movie).

I was on the Nimitz CVN68 and that was pretty awesome launch. I had a friend blown off his feet by a hornet and luckily he landed in the netting and didn't get completely blown off the carrier.

Ive decided to get into DCS, this looks like the perfect hobby to keep me out of jail

Jesus Christ I'm trying my best to learn the F-16 and Harrier. Stop making me want split my 10 hours of flying so far into a 3rd Airframe

That GarandThumb style intro tho, gold!
