I think the master caution you got at 3:40 of the video was not a enemy missile, was because you dumped your external tanks but didn't change the store configs from CAT I to CAT III. The last update this enable this.

Are you using opentrack for the tracking? Your Y axis keeps jumping, you can disable it in opentrack Options, in the Output tab, select source of Y to disabled. You can alternatively apply some curvature to it under Mapping.
I am curious as to why you did not have the HMD (Helmet Mounted Display) on for the F-16, it's by-far one of the most useful items it has. Did the version of the F-16 we sent o Ukraine Not come with the HMD? or did you just not have it on for this video? Curious to know your answer, especially if the Export F-16's don't have it or something? or at least not for Ukraine?
@@helminsen As part of the MLU upgrade, there was no helmet sight for the F-16, all F-16s from Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and Norway were Block 10 and block 15 versions with the MLU upgrade, 25 years ago, Belgium will not give a single machine with the justification that the machines are not already suitable for flight operations. They didn't even go through the modernization to all M6 Tape and M7 levels, most of them stayed with the M5 because the subsequent updates were uneconomic due to the decommissioning of the machines and the replacement of the F-35.
The F-16's donated to Ukraine are able to use the IRIS-T missile for sure the Norwegian one's can. The Danish F-16's seems to have the best countermeasure suite of all the F-16's donated. This makes sense as Denmark was very active in kinetically supporting the US with those F-16's in the war on terror.
when will we see you fly against Growling Sidewinder, he did one against a Rafale Pilot he didn't do too bad. But like I told him it's not the plane it's the pilot.
@@rigger8609 Real life and a game are as night and day as it comes. That said, in the game GS all the way. How can we get GS in a real fighter to see for real?!?!?
@@Ignaz366Now imagine if GS had real pilot training !! How good do you think he would get? And remember all pilots go through a sim training during their training to get better in the air.
That makes two of us! I did the exact same thing as you and exactly those two aircraft. I have a permanently messed up back from working F-15s. I swear if they don't leak, they don't have gas.
@@williamjefferson3599 We sure had a similar career. I worked F-16s at Hahn, then Spangdahlem, with a side of F-4Gs that first year (plus some Egyptian F-4E work thrown in) until they got retired. After Spang I went to Tyndall to work F-15s.

Thank you good sir for the service and for teaching us some new tricks i really like how you explain what and how you do it.A true masterclass thanks again.
If you havent seen the Vitural Thunderbirds 2024 Los Vegas Flight Simulator Expo demonstration, i suggested they use you as an announcer one fine day. Cheers!!
@MaxAfterburnerusa I love all your videos ,much respect and love brother. I would love to see more videos about the F-15E because that is my favorite jet and version of the F-15😁, keep it real and love your videos😊!
But you should compare the version that the UA army will get and not the latest block 72. The European f-16s that will go to Ukraine are MLU versions, old radar, older types of ammram, etc. Russia will deploy SU-30 and SU-35 MIG-31M armed against them R-37M and R-77M, these missiles have already been used several times in Ukraine and shot down SU-27 deep in Ukrainian territory.
Somewhat unrealistic? lol it's complete fantasy. The Su30 is a mod. So not even correctly modelled. And it's flown by notoriously shit AI. And there is not a single instance of WVR combat in this war so far apart from DCS videos that were construed as being real life and then believed by morons and turned into the Ghost Of Kyiv fantasy which Ukraine have since admitted was a morale boosting exercise.
Amazing video! Also do you have any suggestions on being a fighter pilot? That is my dream job and I want to fly airliners once I leave the military. Thanks for any feedback!🇺🇸
Hi there! I will be flying a PVP in the coming months for my channel and then I will be doing some giveaways to fly with subscribers like you. Stay tuned and something should work out. All the best!
I saw a video on the new high range air to air missile that Russian fighter jets will be carrying that has a longer range than the Aim-9 (or whatever they'll be carrying. I was in the USAF but not a pilot). Do you think that'll make a difference? Or, is Russia all bark and no bite, as usual?
Man that warning was not a missile launch and never is , its always rwr tones that indicates missile related stuff , are you shure you were a pilot ? 😅

Define irony, have a channel dedicated at least a tiny bit to dcs then running War Thunder ads
Ha! The games are so different to me. I like thte bi planes in War Thunder and the Viper/Eagle in DCS best so far.
@@MaxAfterburnerusasometimes after flying an hour long sortie in DCS or IL-2 I get an absolute kick out of the dumb fuckery that is top tier warthunder air RB lol
I mean, if DCS wants to be promoted on RUclips, I doubt RUclips players would turn down the offer.
These two games coexist perfectly fine
and both game of Russian origin...

Bro just dreamt up the plot of Enders Game mid dog fight.
Love it
Ah yes, the F-15E. Cow of the sky. Maybe not a cow, more like a big Bald Eagle. A Bald Eagle carrying 25 thousand pounds of fuel and 8 AMRAAMs 😂😂
soon to be 12 aim 260s

I'm thinking the Vipers in Ukraine will not initially have HMD but remains to be seen...nice comment.
The ex (being donated to Ukraine) Norwegian, Danish, Netherlands and Belgian Vipers was all upgraded with HDM
F-16 for ukraine is MLU version from europe. inferior radar of the older version of AMMRAM. In the simulation, he is flying the Block 70 version
the earlier f16s didnt have them initally but many have been retrofitted so who knows

"Ukrainian F-16 are going..." ...and at this point a MIG 31 with an R-37 missile would have blown you out of the sky.
Better keep playing video games.
As a former airman that worked on F-15s and F-16s fuel systems, it's a treat to have a real life pilot talk about what fighter pilots do.

Be cool to see you take on some online multiplayer matches!
People are complaining about the new update making AMRAAM too aggressive but hey that baby costs a million each, radar had better be awesome
You got the caution because you were in CAT III and needed to go to CAT I
Yes i was like wtf was this guy really a pilot ?
@@martales8563 Also the fact that he is allways in afterburner and does not know how to dogfight in the 16 at all!

The Ukrainians will also disable missiles from Russian planes, and put rookie pilots in. No P73Ms on the cover planes, and no S-400 SAMs😂
i still feel like the 16 is still a formattable aircraft
Thanks!
You bet! Thanks to you for supporting the channel! Appreciate it.
@@MaxAfterburnerusa Appreciate you right back NEO! Best call sign in the game too.
Do you use Rudder Pedals? It doesn't look like you use rudder at all. If so what do you use? Just learning DCS again lol. Love the vids!
Hey! I have the TPR Thustmaster pedals
@@MaxAfterburnerusa Awesome Ty and for the reply.
Good stuff, Neo!

What are some good models of joysticks and throttle controls to get started with DCS?

@@johns1625 Also not ok
I thought this was DCS at first. WT has come a long way!
when it comes to DCS pros and real pilots, the real deal is so much better with the gun.
Sounds like half the F16 budget was on peizo speakers
jesus i've never seen 2 ads in 1 video before. kudos

Somewhat unrealistic. 1 to 1 never happens. According to the Ukraian pilots they are always outnumbered sometimes 20 to 1

So many different version of the F-16 ...Block ? . Which one is best against the SU-30 , SU-35?
That would be the block 70, anything else i wouldn't even consider facing an su35 or 30
I know it's against rules of war to shoot a pilot that has ejected, but what kind of punishment does the pilot face from their command?
Hey Max, can you tell me (if it is not classified of course) how many missiles can an f 16 cd take and what the combat range would be.
Thanks
Fight the good fight., that;s right.
All f-16s were intercepted by aviation /S
Haha
is the choice to not just immediately send an aim-120 or sidewinder his way purely for entertainment purposes?
Good question! Yes and No. Rules of engagement could dictate a visual ID in some cases.
