      Yeh but don't forget the muscle memory he's developed flying the real thing compared to what we have learned using TrackIR. Didn't you notice how after the merge he instinctively is lifting his head up to follow the Su27. For us we train ourselves to move our heads very little to get a huge change in the view point from the cockpit. I honestly think it must be very difficult for someone who recognizes the cockpit and knows how everything works to do 'sims' the way we have done. And most of us couldn't have done what he's done also for many reasons.

    Former Army 12B it's pretty sweet to get the insight and information you provide. I appreciate the vast array of skill and knowledge as well as the physical ability it takes to fly these. I thought being route clearance was tough, but man this is a whole different world. Good stuff I enjoy the tutorial along with your combat flights.

      Just having an hour or two in a Cessna is a lot of fun just for the experience even if you don't plan to go further. There's not rules that learning to fly means to have to even qualify if you think about it, they will take your money and you can get the experiences you want from it, if you tell an instructor that they will totally get it and understand. I got my PPL when I was 18 in the US, I'd flown in the UK a little before that, my dream was to be an airforce pilot but my eyesight was terrible, my next dream after getting my PPL was to fly commercial but there was no way I could have afforded it so in the end I got to do some really fun stuff and have a bunch of cool memories :) Since you are in the US you could even try to get a ride in the back of a WW2 aircraft or do a little aerobatics ,there's so many possibilities.

    Hey there just a little tip, to rotate the selective jettison knob you need to left or right click it, it is not like the hud brightness knob. And for jettisoning the master arm needs to be on for both selective and emergency jettison.

      "And for jettisoning the master arm needs to be on for both selective and emergency jettison."
      I would have thought the real pilot knows how to jettison, but hey, everyone can make mistakes.
      And I would have thought that EMERGENCY jettison is literally one push... As you don't have time in those moments to check anything else or move hand anywhere else. So if you need to get stuff out NOW, it is then NOW.

    What I like is that you show lots of respect for the Wizzos. There are other fighter pilots out there who consider them to be just talking ballast. Maybe they are indeed not needed in 1vs1 dogfights, but in more realistic scenarios I believe they are force multipliers. Despite all the computer aid in modern platforms. And with some of the new radars which seem to allow AA and AG at the same time Wizzos might have even a greater impact.

    I thought you had a head tracker of some sort that's supposed to follow your head position so when you turn your head it turns and looks in the same direction in the game. I mean i don't have anything nearly as fancy. I use jsut my iphone x with this head tracking app and then i use open track on my pc which is all free

    Ryan, great to see a real E model pilot fly the DCS version! You owe MX a couple of cases for the over G. :). Question: What is your head tracking rig? Keyboard? I use Track IR on a headset. I'm definitely buying this jet when it's released. You sealed the deal.

    Heard on a podcast I think it was the F-14 tomcast that in the Iranian F-14 often the RIO was the aircraft commander

    Mover was saying the Drag model on the F-16 is off, and what it feels like clean, is what it should feel like with a standard loadout. How does the Strike Eagle drag model feel?

    Why no VR or TrackIR? Really becomes frustrating to watch during the BFM
