    7:05 - 7:40 The absolute best advice any Virtual Aviator can possibly get; "Turn around and try again"..
    When I first started playing DCS I had this problem. I just really wanted to hit the target first time 'round. I was super impatient and was 100% that guy who just wanted to blow things up all the time. I would fly straight at the target trying to get a lock and end up being shot at every time, always downed in the end.
    Once I pulled my head out of my rear flying the A-10CII in the mission "Sitting Ducks" for the 272nd time I finally started to break off before being shot at and coming back around to try again. I stopped being downed all the time and improved my ripple fire skills immensely.
    So yeah. The best advice any virtual combat pilot can possibly get is; Pull your top out of your bottom and break off!!!

    Good job keeping your knots up! Too many people are sub 250 knots when they're kinetic like this and then have no smack on the jet to evade sam or pop up threat. Keep it up step bro!

    I think the thing about the F18 I prefer the most over the F16 is how incredibly streamlined the controls are. Case in point: I haven't flown the plane in more than half a year but after just watching this video, I immediately recalled how to operate the HMCS+TGP+Mavericks. This thing's systems are easier to remember than my actual keybinds lol.

      I agree. The F-16 is so foreign to me. I can hop in a Harrier and be up and running no prob. The Viper is like going from English to ancient Sumerian. It’s just so different.

    I have a question.
    How do you make your cursor visible to touch buttons?
    Pls tell me because i dont have any idea.😥

  • @mobius7089
    @mobius7089 2 года назад +7

    FYI you can use the RAID/FLIR FOV select switch to toggle MAVF FOV
    Another way to do the the dual target attack is with the FLIR offset. Have an AUTO track on the first target, TDC depress to make the offset cursor appear, slew this to the second target. Fire first Mav, SCS to FLIR will make the offset the primary TGT instantly, fire the second Mav. (fun fact: the offset logic is wrong in DCS, it should be the other way around with the offset slewing the FLIR image.)
    Also, don't make a MK, it's such an unnecessary step. Put a sensor like the FLIR or radar in track so if you hit undesignate, just the designation is removed but the sensor will still be pointed in the right direction.
    Good video!

      ​@@TrickerDCS Hello. Do you remember if you tried the thing with the FLIR offset? I tried and the mav doesnt want to lock to the WPDSG point but rather to a point that is between that and the offset. I dont know if Im doing it right :/

    Hey nice vide many thanks! I wonder if it's possible to lock one maverick to one target, then step to another missile and lock it to another target, and finally ripple launch both pursuing different targets each, similar to what you did in the F-16 CAS video.

    hey my man great video. FOV on mavericks does not function when used in conjunction with the TGP. The FOV change from HOTAS will only work on the pod, not the seeker head when the SOI is changed. It has to be changed manually from the OSB's. Its always been like that but like you said, not sure if its a realism modeled in or a bug. Cheers!

    • @TrickerDCS
      @TrickerDCS  2 года назад

      Interesting because my FOV changed on the maverick when I didn’t press the FOV button on the OSB.

      @brianwills3871 Год назад

      ok, I think i found the stuff he was glossing over when he slews over the sa9 he must be pressing the target designate depress button then selecting the mavericks with the sensor switch then he must be pressing the cage uncage button that's the only way i can get the mavs to slew and release. had to watch another video to get that information.
