Good stuff, Neo, and thanks for the support! Just a couple notes, the F-15E is a product of our talented 3rd party partner, RAZBAM Simulations. Also, you'll need to flip up the Master Arm switch next time to pew pew pew.
His master arm was on
and jettson tanks
@@oppotato5440It was on when at the beginning of the video, but during the dogfight it started in the safe position and I don't think he realized
OOOOOooooooooo Shots fired! Lol love it
You mean Hamster Arm?
So glad Eagle Dynamics has a relationship with you! You've quickly become my favorite DCS content creator and I love all the real world perspective you bring to every video.
I'll count the days until you guys start developing your H145M for DCS, it would be such a great addition and might be the only sim product I'll buy twice then :D Anyway, keep up your good work!
@@franconianguy5627 thanks! Didn't expect to be recognized here, no DCS plans currently - but we love the platform!
@@Hallo14847 stop whining
You need to test this on VR
You guys are amazing @HypePerformanceGroup - love the H145 🤘
I know other yutubers got access to the jet but it's extra special to see a real driver showcase it!
I can’t wait until this releases for the public. My favorite plane brought into DCS!
2 more weeks
@@PressurePlayerStudio how do you know?
2 WEEKS CONFIRMED...
No the f16 will always remain the best aircraft please talk to the hand ✋
2 months ish according to the last few seconds of RAZBAMs video yesterday.
This is the f-15E review I have been waiting for. Thanks, Ryan!
Master Arm switch tends to help selective jettison, emergency jettison, and missiles go whoosh. Noticed it was down the whole time :)
You should look into getting TrackIR head tracking. It's cheaper and easier to set up than VR and doesn't affect how well the game runs on your pc
but with track ir dont you need a very big screen?
@@spirosdelistavros2970 not necessarily. You can adjust the sensitivity so you barely have to move your head to turn around. If anything I think you need a bigger screen WITHOUT trackir since you can't move your vision as frequently and ideally need to be zoomed out more
@@spirosdelistavros2970 i used a 27 inch monitor with trackIR just fine in the past.
Yes. Absolutely get TrackIR. And it has gotten so much better in the last 10-15 years. So if you have been holding off because you heard bad things about it awhile ago, fear not. It should be solid these days.
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.
Sweet! You know dude, you and your dads flying careers are so linked in terms of platforms you flew You’ve gotta complete the circle with your dad learning the F-15E and you learn the F4 in VR - keep up the great work!
I appreciate all the nice tutorials and reviews the youtubers are putting up but seeing the real deal is just amazing and a lot more different then I expected! Hope you make more DCS videos! TrackIR or VR such would make this even better.
All that expensive flight sim gear but no track IR? Get on that man! Helps a ton
I didn't know what to think about spatial disorientation. Until my first incentive flight in the F-16 and that made a quick believer out of me.
13:30 you need to use right mouse button to spin the dial right. Some use the mouse axis while holding left mouse but a lot work to where left mouse is one click left and right mouse is one click right
6:00 totally agree... but nice that youre able to turn "off" the stick in DCS 😊
thx for keeping people engaged and again thx's for taking the time....
What an absolute pleasure to watch a real fighter pilot demonstrate DCS, subbed.
Takes me back to F15 Strike Eagle on the Commodore 64 circa 1986 - loved that fighter ever since.
Those were the days and also AH-64 Attack Helicopter :)
You Mudhen drivers saved this Ranger's ass soo many times during OEF/OIF. Now I'm salivating waiting to get my paws on this module.
It would be a crime against Humanity to hide that mustache behind a VR headset. Great video. 10/10! DCS/Eagle Dynamics knocking it out the park once again. DCS is getting really freaking good.
I’d love to see you do this in VR, it’s too hard to fight properly on a screen
TrackIR. Once I got it I don’t know how the hell I managed without it
@@SPFLDAngler tried it twice. The first time it gave me eye strain and headaches. Returned it. Decided I would try it again and just work harder at tweaking the settings - same result. I really wanted to like it, but in the end VR is way more fun to me. Feels like actually sitting in the jet and the sensations in a dogfight are mind blowing fun. Plus the 1:1 head tracking doesn’t give me eye strain, as well as being more realistic. I actually have to move around in my chair to turn my head around and see the bandit on my six.
@@kickZtailout Depth is so important
AITrack and OpenTrack do a surprisingly good job
@@SPFLDAnglerand you will feel the same about VR vs a head tracker...if your system can run it😅
YES! The legend has returned home!
I got the Boeing simpit, and was so excited to have a center mounted stick for the first week then I had to move it to the side. Side stick is so much more comfortable.
Glad to see it’s such a good replica of the real jet. As a guy who flies the hornet, I’m super jealous of the amount of fuel and the sheer amount of thrust you have pushing the jet and that radar is to die for. I must say though, the hornet is my true love, I don’t know if I’ll get the strike eagle, but I sure look forward to facing one
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. I would love to learn how to fly but I don't think my grunt brain can handle it 😂. Keep up the amazing work it's really nice to get input from a pilot that's knows their bird.
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.
YES, was so hyped for this video
Thanks for all the little details of story talking like I’m a fighter pilot too and the fact you explain is awesome it’s freaking cool I’m glad I found your channel
Really enjoyed watching this! Love the comments throughout the flight. Thank you
Really want to see you fly with Growling Sidewinder!
That would be a sick collaboration.
I think you need to get a tracker IR
He has a tobi
Did u ever pinch yourself and think "Man i cannot believe they are paying me to do this" . LOL i was in the Army Infantry myself... I am envious and amazed by u guys... Thank your service... AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY SIR!
Love your videos! As a 15 engine maintainer, that nozzle noise is from the bleed air used to actuate the nozzle! Not sure if you already knew that just mentioning it :). Keep up the great work!
Awesome thanks for the comment!
One of the best presentations of the module. Love your sense of humor.
you can "delegate authority but never delegate responsibility" is a great line
Absolutely! I heard it from a Marine first
Cheapseat driver here who never skips leg day, the nozzles are pneumatic brother not hydraulic (@08:14), everyone knows that! 😂 But you're right man they sound cool. Now see me in my office to pick up your copy of your LOR for raging the throttles like that on the taxi-way.
Real Pilots love DCS, because this is their world, thank you Eagle Dynamics and to all Module creators, you do a great job.
This is the Review I was waiting for! A real pilot looking at this beast!
The only channel where the comments on this plane matters
1: I gotta admit, having a side stick setup is the best. I frequently remove remove the stick from screen on the Hornet to set up my center MFD for SA all the time.
2: I'm SO HAPPY I'm not the only one who plays with the throttle on the Eagle to listen to those nozzles!!!! LMAO!!!!
Love that Gunsight setup, tbh. makes me think of the Mirage.
Master Arm 🙂. No jettison, no guns.
Fun to see the years experience hit in the turning fight, trying to look up and back... Muscle memory pulls hard, but eyes say "look at the screen front of you!".
Man I could she you trying to look around like in the real jet! You are going to need either track IR or VR to be in a better spot. Thank you for sharing! Try to get more videos of this beast!
Why no VR or TrackIR? Really becomes frustrating to watch during the BFM
Recommend you get Track IR 5, it's sorta like a VR but it's an infrared tracker you place at the top of your screen and it tracks your head movement
Gotta get TrackIR! VR is cool but TrackIR will make looking around way easier without having to cover your eyes. Great for making videos.
He has a tobi
I was a flightline weapons troop at Nellis on f-15 CD back in the 80s and 90s. Happy hunting, check six.
Epic! Thank you!
Also I have to say, that was smooth. Clean turns, pitching and diving. I didn't get motion sickness at all watching lol.
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 was waiting for you to get your hands on this one. You've got to turn on your head tracker for BFM! Impressive you were able to get nose on without it.
Talk about a mod tailored to a channel. This is awesome.
If you want that F16 stiff stick kind I would definitely recommend looking at realsim's F16 FSSB stick and the WinWing MFSSB stick. They should replicate that feel very nicely.
I love seeing you in your jet virtually!
Thank you!
You should totally do a review of falcon BMS. A lot of people on there would be interested to hear a viper pilot comments.
Currently schooling in the t38. Can't wait for the f16 life.
nice! Thats epic! I've got F16 dogfights on patreon you might like: www.patreon.com/MaxAfterburner
you should try this in VR or atleast Track IR so you can look around
you Neeeeeeeeeed VR, it never gets old
There is also head tracking systems to look around intead of VR, for example Track ir
You should take a look at head tracking solution. Sure you can do VR, but you need a monster pc to get a good experience. IR type head tracking works with pretty much any setup. Great vid.
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
10:14 I would love to hear stories from pilots and wso
13:30 try with right click, most of the dual switches work with left click and right click
So I could be off on this one as it's been awhile but I'm pretty sure the pratts nozzles were air driven not hydraulically. The GEs were hydraulically driven and didn't make that distinctive sound when the nozzles moved.
That’s correct. Pratts use 13th stage bleed air to drive the CENC.
You need Goose back there.. “I’m looking, I’m looking”
Awesome to get a review from a real driver 🤙🏽
Pilot runs the show sounds a lot like how an Admiral must listen to the Captain of a ship while they are on it.
Yes! Good anology
short shorts? mustache? im in love!!!
You should really give opentrack with the neuralnet traker a go, its opensource and just needs a good webcam to work. Needs a little setup but its great when setup correctly.
Oh I think I need to buy this module and expand my F14 r2d2 mod :D
Thanks for the idea ;)
Look into Head tracking (since you don't have VR yet) such as Track IR 5. It's what i uses to look around. it is Infinitely better than looking around with a joystick.
We need Max with or 🆚 Growling Sidewinder
I am using my webcam in DCS for tracking, theres two programs you need. The first is OpenTrack, and the other one is AITrack, way better than turning the head with the stick. Of course you can set it up the way you want it to turn, so you dont have to fully turn your head and look away from your monitor which wouldnt make any sense. But i love your vids, keep it up
Calm down, he's got this . 🦅
Watching someone fly without trackir is rouuuuugh. Impressive you can even fly and track the bandit like that.
Very cool. I'm looking forward to comparing and contrasting workflows to the other jets in DCS. I'm pretty casual with the modern stuff (only so many penguins can fit on the iceberg) and mainly stick to the Hornet, but this beast deserves my attention, especially with the variety of sensors.
I appreciate the perspective and stories you've included in this video. Subscribed and will keep watching - that stuff really adds to our enjoyment of DCS and appreciation for the profession.
Good tip about the short shorts too, rocking some sweet frog skin right now which definitely aids in productivity at work and at play. A lot of people don't realize what a force multiplier these things are.
VR = game changer for the Neo
Wow nice flying! Get a VR headset asap to enjoy it fully.
17:00 Razbam is like...what about us?
Any time I see one of these DCS videos with the Seymour Johnson F15Es I basically turn into a little kid 😆. I guess that noise the nozzles make it what I hear when I see these birds on the glide slope into SJAFB.
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.
Keep up the good content, hope this helps
"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.
just finished my masters in aerospace, help me get a job at boeing, and ill make sure to add the side stick
The term "Armed to the teeth" comes from the days of tall ships and pirates where they would carry as many weapons as they could all the way down to a knife held in the teeth.
Bach then there wasn't any semi autos so for one shot they needed to carry one gun, so they carried as many loaded guns as they could and disposed of them as they shot them and then used the knife.
The Jolly Roger Skull and Cross Bones: An early use of a black flag with skull, crossbones, and hourglass is attributed to pirate captain Emanuel Wynn in 1700, according to a wide variety of secondary sources.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolly_Roger
The Crossbones comes from the fact that when any body was buried and then exhumed after burial the arms were crossed on the chest so when the body decomposed the common sight was the skull with crossed forearm bones underneath.
Your best video yet. Business time.
5:28 Yes. Project Wingman has a VR first person mod. It's an Ace Combat type game, but the one mission with the 100% overcast at 1000ft...
Let's just say one of my many many "last thoughts" was "Why are the boats above me?"
I think I played that same mission on my channel like 3 days ago hahaha
@@DraX_x Yeah, I posted a VR playthrough of the whole game at Merc a few months ago as well. I'd forgotten just how good the sound design was.
I guess I tended to be more focused on the flying than the sheer spectacle of it.
Did you get to Kings yet? That is absolutely bonkers in VR.
Nice video as always. Didn't realize you flew with my sister.
Way to keep opsec with that bad flying! Kidding, I always love the videos, keep them coming Sir.
Hehe.. Growling Sidewinder makes it look so easy :D
Love the video. TrackIR will be a great help. Cheaper than VR and might be better for your videos than VR.
when no VR available, get a head tracker......tobii works also fine and you need no head-clip.
You should hit up Growling Sidewinder and do a video together and maybe he can help you sort out the settings bullshit, can't wait to see you with VR also.
For one there is an option to show pilots inside the cockpit.
gotta get that track IR bro. game changer.
In DCS if you click the base of the stick it disappears, not realistic, but a massive QOL feature
The space on the right is for the espresso maker.
Man alive you really need some VR. I'd love to to fly with you though sometime!
right shift + P will make your pilot visible just for future reference
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?
Love it! But you need a headtracker makes all the difference when not in vr
2:10 If you Hit Right Shift + P you should be able to see the pilot body
Nice flying, you should get yourself an Ultrawide (21:9 aspect ratio., 3440x1440p) monitor for the wide view of peripheral vision, i would suggest a curved monitor.
This is the payload I'm looking forward to dumping on my first Mudhen flight.
A simulator so well done that it feels as fun as really going to work…
He needs to get an eye tracker/trackIR. That would be awesome.
he does have one
Get Track IR my friend you will have a pleasant experience
f15e cockpit is beautiful. kinda reminds me of the eurofighter cockpit shape
Nice review. Can t wait to learn this plane
