Common Questions: Can Jester use the Maverick / EO Bombs / Pave Spike?: I'm afraid at launch, he won't support them, he can perform every other job. For the Pave spike, there are temporary binds to allow control from the front seat until Jester support is added later in early access.

Been screaming for tutorials on the F4, so to see one from you gives me a warm glowy feeling inside. Thanks Redkite can't wait for more. Especially the main one, a cold start....
My focus is A-G for the moment, other creators are looking at radar, there's simply not enough time for one person to do everything so we're coordinating efforts.
I started dcs 2 years ago, with F/A-18C it was my first module of dcs. I learned from your guide videos (special thanks to rader tutorial!!!) Now I drink some fuel in the air with prob (not boom) And kill miggy in GS server My happy DCS. The reason is you RK, great thx. I really love F-4E phantom which is my country's fighter plane retire in june this year. Down to basic, and start again like 2 years ago, with your guide video haha!
As always, beautifully explained RK but holey moley, a lotta friggin around just to fire a Mav. A matter of getting used to & practice I guess. Not a deal breaker for me, I'm still going to order the beast Phantom. I love retro lol 😉
Maverick in his Tomcat "I'm too close for missiles Goose, I'm switching to guns" Me in the Phantom "I forgot how to use Mavericks, I'm switching to guns"
First off. How do you get your TV image to look so good. I've tried every setting. Black Hot/ White/Hot Auto. I've messed with the contrast and everything and it looks nowhere near as clear and smoot as all your videos? Second. I've been going up with 3 AGM 65 A's on each pylon. I get 2 off and then after that the TV mode stops activating on the missile and the gun starts firing instead. Why is this happening?
I can fire two and then after that whenever I press trigger I don't open the TV screen again but I just shoot my gun. Any ideas? AGM's should've already bee warmed up as I've already fire two of them.
Does the target have to fit within the crosshairs to acheive a lock? If im 2-3 miles from the target, a tank that is slightly than the crosshair boundary is impossible to lock. I know its a little close to fire them, but it doesnt feel like its pushing the envelope of the missiles tracking too hard
Nope, well, technically, if you switch to bombs then drop and back to TV within a couple seconds you can do it, but that's really intended to prevent accidentally switching it out of TV cooling a warmed up missile.
My Maverick screen is so dark and can barely pick up targets even up close (within 10miles), they're just showing up and smudged blobs, I don't get it. I've tried switching the black hot and white hot switch in the back and that made no difference. Any suggestions? I use the default hot start brightness and contrast.
Hey, can I ask a question? After firing a D maverick, the next one will only lock in wide FOV mode. Switching to narrow FOV mode it will not lock. Am I doing something wrong?
I tried a Training Mission with Airstart and the TV is not working even after 6 minutes the weapon Status is armed but the Display is black. I followed the instruction step by step. Maybe a Bug with Airstart?
For the moment any video based system has to be operated by a human, there's temp wso binds for the pavespike use as pilot however, as the rest can be done from the front seat.
Double check you are pulling the flight stick trigger and that the video source is set correctly. (both the display and the video feed selection from the wso pit)
@@RedKiteRender sure thanks. Ill try again. Seems fine in the preset training missions but not so much from a cold start. Its weird cause i did a couple missions from a cold start and they worked fine but now they arent. EDIT: Weird. Started up cold today and it works fine. Weird. Thanks for the feedback
@@RedKiteRender thank you for your response. Do we have a timeframe yet on whether it'll be added? I'm trying to remember back to the F-14 release as to how long that all took to implement.
I’m lmao at all the simps stating how much they can’t wait for their copy. 80% will find this too hard and be back to their hornets in less than a week.

A Single players nightmare. I was really excited for it tho. Is there any timeframe they said when we can expect it?
You're telling me we can have a tutorial that doesn't take 20+ min per topic? Amazing.
*Wags has left the chat.*
@@AdmiralQuality I can handle wags. He pushes out good information the whole time and knows when the video should be done.
Asssss alwayssss
I know, it's a novel idea(!) Trouble is it takes time to condense and focus information into a video like this :)
@@TomP-148 Hello, it's me, myself and I, aaaaas allwayyyyyys 😅
Even HB knows Redkite is tutorial GOAT
Nice on Redkite, you always make the best guides 🥰
Will the f4 have any mavericks on the Cold War server?
Heeey thanks Engima
@@Maceoneone Yes
@@Enigma89 SEAD will go ceazy
(ECW question) I'm assuming we wont need points to unlock the F-4E like the F-14 right? We can just join the server and take off in the F-4E?
The King of DCS Tutorials is back!
You got me from hopeless to expert in the F1, cannot wait to get into the F1+3
certainly looking forward to the rest of your tutorial series on the F4 ^^ Thank you as always
thats what I was looking for. Enough with the teasers. We need real tutorials.👍
Nice video, mate. Glad you're one of the CC's that has been given the Phantom. Your guides and tutorials are right up there with the best.
Thanks!
Dang it ain't even dropped yet and getting tutorials! Siiiiick!!
nice! happy to see the pilot can control and fire them as well!
Was just thinking this! At this rate the F-4 will be a better A2G platform than the F-14!
I think the Phantom is way more fun for A2G than the Tomcat!

These must be the best DCS tutorials on RUclips. To the point and very informative. Just what we need - no more, no less.
Thanks kindly :)
Your videos are the best out there. Cant wait to see more F4 videos from you.
Happy to see you giving Tutorials
Always loved your tutorials mate! Looking forward to fly the F-4E next week!
Great vid. Can't wait to see more.
Not what I expected to see first! Haha. Glad to see WSO features already. Great vid.
Nicely done RK. Truly the best in the tutorial business!
Fun fact: I enjoyed watching this video. 👍
Great to see you're on the case, RedKite! Thanks for the first actual tutorial anyone's bothered to make yet!
so stoked to have ya back in the saddle RK
Been screaming for tutorials on the F4, so to see one from you gives me a warm glowy feeling inside. Thanks Redkite can't wait for more. Especially the main one, a cold start....
Wooow! its looks amazing! I cant wait to play with this beast! -- best video so far about the f-4 ;)
Wow, that is a lot of changing in process for different types of Mavs. Great tutorial as usual.
excellent video, excited for next week's release!
Great turtorial very clear and consie and I love how you showed each control and their lay out name ingame!
Glad you find those useful!
Its Redkite!!!! Good to see you doing vids again buddy!!
Happy to be back at it!
Incredible guide, as always though. Every important step are talked through and supported with visual clues. Nice one, thank you sir!
Will be back to this video again in a week :D
Redkite is on of the content creators im actually not jealous about having access already because he actually delivers. Never fails to
Phantastic!
Nice, next week will be awsome
Best tuts on the tube.
Yup I’m grabbing the F-4
Another excellent guide, thanks!
Wow! That's complicated! And I like it!
Wow first F4 tutorial
I cann't wait to get my grubby mits on this Phantom module, looking forward to its release.
Nice tutorial as per usual Mr Kite, but it's the definitive F-4E radar tutorial/s we'll all be looking to you for. 👍
My focus is A-G for the moment, other creators are looking at radar, there's simply not enough time for one person to do everything so we're coordinating efforts.
RedKite! Can’t wait to see your perfect touchdown on the landing training video! Spoiled me with f1
Nice work. Very informative.
Excellent!
Great video❤
Excellent video. Thank you.
I started dcs 2 years ago, with F/A-18C it was my first module of dcs.
I learned from your guide videos (special thanks to rader tutorial!!!)
Now I drink some fuel in the air with prob (not boom)
And kill miggy in GS server
My happy DCS. The reason is you RK, great thx.
I really love F-4E phantom which is my country's fighter plane retire in june this year.
Down to basic, and start again like 2 years ago, with your guide video haha!
It’s just so beautiful
The Maverick is just the coolest missile
Glad to see you still crushing it red kite phantom looks so rugged
This is going to be a beast bomb truck!
god the amount of stuff we take for granted with modern jet avionics is kind of insane.
Thanks!!!👌
I'd preordered the Phantom but not really hyped for it, until watching this.
Perfect
Piece of cake.
Legend
great job bit more involved then we are use to should keep people engaged for a while
I am a simple man. I see a RedKite tutorial, I click "View".
Also make sure Jester did not activate AI2AIR mode in the back cockpit. I couldn't get video until I realized that button was pressed.
A model mav seems the easiest to use, ill probably run that one. Ty for the tutorial Redkite! Cant wait for more!
I love that Old Turkish airforce skin soooo beautiful
Writing down notes. Lol. Great video 👍
Less than a week!
Lets gooo!
its coming
I feel like a teen going on his first date again
As always, beautifully explained RK but holey moley, a lotta friggin around just to fire a Mav. A matter of getting used to & practice I guess. Not a deal breaker for me, I'm still going to order the beast Phantom. I love retro lol 😉
Eh it's not too bad, just there's a number of considerations for best use, the actual act of firing is only a few buttons.
@@RedKiteRender
Nice one 👍🙏
oh yeah that time of the year where all youtubers get the module we paid for before us :P
Not all. But maybe I'll get to that point someday!
Yay
What a complex and manual aircraft to fly, the guy who love doing this got to be masochist
Man this shit is so cool! I wish planes were real.
Maverick in his Tomcat "I'm too close for missiles Goose, I'm switching to guns"
Me in the Phantom "I forgot how to use Mavericks, I'm switching to guns"
I hope you have your release tables and reticule depression at the ready then!
lets go
you can be considered so lucky to get access AND know how to fight this aircraft before everyone else....I need to become a touber.
So pilot could do the maverick launch? Nice, looking forward for shrike guide
That'll have to wait until after launch day, as the creator build doesn't have ED's new shrike.
Can you do a tutorial on dropping Napalms? Lt. Dan is out there waiting for me
First off. How do you get your TV image to look so good. I've tried every setting. Black Hot/ White/Hot Auto. I've messed with the contrast and everything and it looks nowhere near as clear and smoot as all your videos?

It will expand automatically so long as the target is close enough to the centre when you release.
Can jester lock and fire the missile?
Thanks, how do you jettison fuel tanks prior to using the mavericks? Or can you not?
Is there any way to keep the mavericks warmed up if you need to switch to another weapons system, like shrikes or bombs?
Nope, well, technically, if you switch to bombs then drop and back to TV within a couple seconds you can do it, but that's really intended to prevent accidentally switching it out of TV cooling a warmed up missile.
for the D variant, if the gun trigger is for FOV, what do i use to cage the missile without having to lock on a target beforehand?
Trigger will zoom if slewing is active, else it'll cage.
@@RedKiteRenderso if im not holding down the air to air refueling button and i press the trigger, itll cage right?
My Maverick screen is so dark and can barely pick up targets even up close (within 10miles), they're just showing up and smudged blobs, I don't get it. I've tried switching the black hot and white hot switch in the back and that made no difference. Any suggestions? I use the default hot start brightness and contrast.
Well, you answered your own question, use the brightness and contrast controls.
Hey, can I ask a question?
After firing a D maverick, the next one will only lock in wide FOV mode. Switching to narrow FOV mode it will not lock.
Am I doing something wrong?
I tried a Training Mission with Airstart and the TV is not working even after 6 minutes the weapon Status is armed but the Display is black. I followed the instruction step by step. Maybe a Bug with Airstart?
Did you pull the flightstick trigger, is the video source set correctly? (The Antenna hand control trigger does not blow the cap off)
@@RedKiteRender yes, I think I missed the part with the Trigger 😅 thank you🤟🏼
Soooo, it's fair to assume in SP, most of the weapons setup can/ will be Don by the AI WSO?
For the moment any video based system has to be operated by a human, there's temp wso binds for the pavespike use as pilot however, as the rest can be done from the front seat.
Any reason you think I get ARM after waiting the time but the covers dont jettison?
Double check you are pulling the flight stick trigger and that the video source is set correctly. (both the display and the video feed selection from the wso pit)
@@RedKiteRender sure thanks. Ill try again. Seems fine in the preset training missions but not so much from a cold start. Its weird cause i did a couple missions from a cold start and they worked fine but now they arent.
EDIT: Weird. Started up cold today and it works fine. Weird. Thanks for the feedback
Do you need targeting pod for mavericks?
So is Jester 2.0 not coming with the release then? Can you not use him the same as the Jester in the F-14 to do all this work for you?
Jester 2.0 doesn't support video weapons at the moment, he'll do near everything else. Radar interaction is particularly easier with 2.0!
@@RedKiteRender thank you for your response. Do we have a timeframe yet on whether it'll be added? I'm trying to remember back to the F-14 release as to how long that all took to implement.
Nothing official yet.
Turkish AF ❤❤❤
Can we operate this plane without AI or rio ?
I’m lmao at all the simps stating how much they can’t wait for their copy.
80% will find this too hard and be back to their hornets in less than a week.
Where is this base in the map? What is the map?
Syria, was somewhere in the north east.
@@RedKiteRender thanks
here we go again , red kite got the best videos and first .. watched but will not get the f4 because I like a real hud and aim120`s
I will assume yes, but is it possible for Jester to launch from the WSO station?
Not at early access launch I'm afraid, will be coming later. But you've got full control from the front any ways.
I see they've still got all the unrealistic shaking in the cockpit ;/ that's discouraging.
Remember to pat your head and rub your belly at the same time...
We are working backwards again lol. Where's the startup tutorial?
Heatblur are cooking up their own startup video, wouldn't want to step on their toes :)
Make your own.
