That would be awesome if they paid him to make the tutorial videos, and then they come up on DCS main menu page under tab called tutorial videos ..even if it was just direct link to video on here that just plays ....If they did not want to have favouritism in community then they could use different channels for each jet ..pick out best channels have each one creator create set of videos for each jet ..there enough jets to fill top channels of DCS there really not lot of top channel DCS so some could do two or three jets other games have done this and it works quite well it often indie devs small team dont have time to keep updating tutorial videos during alpha ...so they link community channels i think good way to bring community together too and makes the community feel little more connected to project ...
I thought I would learn the f15 over the weekend - but even the radar is more than a few days to learn. It was extremely considerate of you to create and post that mission. Thank you
Thanks for the tutorial. Just getting into DCS as an ex private pilot and it’s seriously overwhelming. Even sorting out the controls is taking me hours lol. This was super useful and detailed. Much appreciated.
Hey Cap just one thing to add. when you cant get any IFF information with a STT/ TWS lock try narrowing the beam so bring in the horizontal scan so its only scanning 1/4 of it and it returns information much faster
I'm finally tuning into the F-15C training material, and this is among the best. I'll never comprehend why DCS didn't take the F-15C as a module to the level of the A-10C, F-18C, etc.
Definitely much needed! Just got into DCS and just bought the F-15. It seems like such a complex game. And there are literally no tutorials for the F-15 ingame. Thank you sir!
How’s the f-15? You like it? I’m currently building my pc. (4 parts left to buy) I bought the f15,su27, su33 and the a-10. I plan on starting off w the f-15 also
@@chefboyarb im no pro at this game but following guides and such i managed to learn how to operate the f15c in less than 5 hours of gameplay. It's not a complex plane and very good to start with. The radar quickly becomes easy to operate, as you will have to use it continuosly, you'll learn exactly where to look to get the info you need, in no time. Much harder is learning how to avoid missiles, situational awareness and high g manuevers while dogfighting, but these are things that apply to all planes.
@@MLarios97 I agree. Didn’t take me very long. Surprisingly, the f18 is easier even tho it has way more controls. It’s really just memory on what button to press in what order. 😂. I still have stuff to better learn and go over again like iff, data link, etc. as far as locking a target, getting off ground.. the basic stuff I can do
@@MLarios97 The hardest part of the 15 is the lack of data link for online pvp. Everyone else knows where you are at all times and you're having to spam bogey dope for SA.
Thanks for this! Just got my first kill in DCS at a range of 11 miles and I am now very pleased with myself. Your video was very helpful in understanding the system and the controls required.
I can’t explain how much this helped me understand the radar as the f-22a and f-15 are the 2 main jets I fly. I only knew how to fire sidewinders and not the others. But now I do! This helped tremendously! Thank you cap!
I imagine that I’m doing something wrong but once I lock up an enemy on the radar I’m still not getting a square around him on the hud. Do you have any tips or anything that might help? Thanks
Just downloaded DCS a couple of days ago. Still using XBox One controller and keyboard. Got the F-15C on sale for $7.50. Still very much learning the aircraft. I can do all the basics (takeoff, land, etc.) but this video is an absolute godsend for how the RADAR works. Looking forward to other videos on the F-15C. The plan is to get my feet wet with the 15 before buying into a HOTAS and TrackIR and other aircraft. Loving it so far!
For the tech geeks out there: the radar does not actually move. The hardware used is a phased array of wave guides. The RF signal is phase shifted to each element in the array in order to make the outgoing beam coherent in a specific direction. The beam is swept as described by Cap, but the hardware remains stationary relative to the aircraft. The tutorial is still valid. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phased_array#:~:text=In%20antenna%20theory%2C%20a%20phased,directions%20without%20moving%20the%20antennas.
Considering this is a C model, it's likely not an AESA/Phased Array. The original AN/APG-63 wasn't AESA, but the AN/APG-63(V)1-3 are. The old C and D models were retrofitted with the AESA radars relatively recently (as in the year 2000 in an Alaskan F-15C), but I doubt they are what was used in the DCS model. AESA Radars are beasts though. Easier to work on by far
These C models actually did use mechanically scanned radars, which very much did move, hence the bump stops. Some models have been retrofitted with ASEA radars but this looks like the original APG-63 by Hughes.
Thanks for these videos Cap. I flew the Eagle for the first time last night, fired 5 missiles, got one kill, had no clue what any of this meant. I do now. Thanks again.
Ordered my HOTAS and I’m playing with a gamepad for a week or two so I can learn the radar while I’m waiting for it to arrive. Your videos have been so helpful, thank you!
This is so hard to get into, I need to fly with someone to talk me through things I can never get locks with my 120c's even tho I can see them on my radar
yep same ionno what im doing wrong im pressing the lock button on the targets that are on the radar but it doesnt work for some reason you have the same problem right? edit: if i fix it ill text it here edit: i just pressed o which changes the radars mode when it didnt lock so yea thats the fix for that idk why it works but yea it only locks sometimes and if it doesnt i just press o to fix it hope this helps
Thanks so much for this. I was really able to conceptualize what is going on while learning the functions of the radar. There's a lot of good dcs information on RUclips but your videos have been especially helpful for me. I really do appreciate it as a new player.
This helped me out SO much. I was really struggling with the radar because there are literally NO tutorials for the F15C. They just throw you into fights. I was able to cheat the system by getting close and using (3)CACVCM and (4)CACBM to just press enter and then launch missiles. But at BVR I just could NOT figure it out. Thank you so much for this
Not sure if anyone else has run into this, but when you open this sample mission in the mission editor, be sure to change the skill level of the main plane to "Player" instead of client, so you can actually fly it ;-)
Im getting there slowly ... Going through each video everyday sometimes twice learning this game ....i got my hotas yesterday spent whole day programming and remembering controls ..as boring as that sounds it was oddly rewarding once it was going ... SO i did first mission in campaign f15c ..took off flew waypoints completely off course but got there .. and come around to landing got it down ..just needed to slow it down Break break break ...these breaks dont work so great BREAK ..Tires melt off now sliding down run way power sliding on to dirt lost wing but lived ....:D ...I need more practice on landing ..".How much did that jet cost" .. .. still i feel like i did 100 times better in sim then if it was real life
radar has come a very long way since the F-15C. airborne radar systems (most of them) are not mechanically driven anymore. welcome to the world of AESA radar technology. where you don't need to worry about taking small slices. AESA radars are electronically driven by changing the phase of the RF emitted from the hundreds and thousands of TR elements within the fixed array
A-A-ron 996 not GR but ex IT service provider owner... the one that’s comes with Windows 10 is pretty good. I also use Malware Bytes, and have uBlock ORIGIN browser extension. Biggest tip is don’t visit dodgy porn sites, don’t download unknown or pirated software and click on links in emails.
Great tutorial Cap. I have been familiarizing myself with all those controls in the grinelli f22. However I seem to have huge problems seeing anything past 20miles. Even over open water, civil big jets (even E-3s), I do set the range, also the elevation, (even if I cheat in F10 and look exactly where the target should be, altitude and right of my nose, hot)... No dice. Any idea what might be going on? Cheers! Love you guys videos btw!
This did help a bit but honestly it makes no sense I was in rws had the scan to 5000 where the contact was nose on and he wasn’t there but was on data link so confused
Need some help I'm new to DCS and I'm having an odd time with the F-15s BVR radar, in the test mission I am able to use the radar as intended, it all works. But for some reason in other missions I am unable to lock targets. Example the instant action 1v1 BVR I can get the radar to pick up the enemy aircraft but when I attempt to lock the target, it does nothing, as if I'm attempting to lock onto nothing. I am new to DCS so It could be that, there is something preventing me from locking on. any help is appreciated. Might just be the radar having a hard time, but I have tested HOT targets and it just cant lock for some reason
If your radar detects them you'll see a bar on the screen and if they are using ECm you'll see a strobe of boxes on the radar screen once you try to lock on them. Idk how to beat this. HMU if you're on insta
Hitting an issue - at around 10:20 you describe the radar bit, but when I do that and hit Target Lock it bounces to another potential target.... any ideas?
well shit. granted i dont have much time on dcs, but i've played lock on like 50 hours and i had never used the TWS, at least intentionally. Turns out i could have fired amraams like a madman.
I did download the mission but I can't load it has a mission, anything Im missing ? I start to use the mission editor more and more, I guess I'll make my own nooby mission lol
I know this video is pretty old, but I'm just now getting into the whole BVR radar thing and I hope someone sees this question: If you're more likely to detect targets flying above you, why don't combat air patrols always have one flight member go super-low?
I will guess the answer, so cmiiw. Flying low means flying in denser air, more resistance, and fuel consumption will be way higher. It will make your range limited compared to others in your unit/squad. Also it will be much harder to avoide missile due to the missile being sent from higher altitude has higher kinetic. Otoh, you will also have altitude disadvantage as your missile will have to climb and lose speed.
Which can lock targets from farther? TWS or RWS? The F-35 mod that is out uses the F-15C cockpit and radar, and I see ppl in the F-35 locking and taking ppl out at 100-120 miles but yet ppl never show up on my radar when I use the F-35 on RWS until like 80 miles or so, should I be using TWS?
HELP! sometimes a series of empty boxes appear on a vertical line like if it was a target but i dont understand what it is since it ocupes all the vertical space but looks like a target
Ok so why can't I adjust my radar after I select weapons and how do you "turn off" the weapons hud and go back to normal hud? Just got the game and can't use my tws/rwr after my first engagement
Hey Grim Reapers, do you by any chance have a walk through for a real noob like me to DCS via installing your missions and if you do have some experience with the mods to DCS? Been getting smoked sans that Radar but I am getting better at it, and I owe that one to you, thanks for this Sir. Really love your videos. Hope to get all of the Aircraft when my wallet allows.
So I just got back into DCS and was on the F15, i was locking target with amraam firing missiles yet they weren't hitting the target. I fired an amraam at mach 1.5 only 8 miles from the target looking straight down at him yet it didn't hit. I realized that none of my amraams are even trying to hit the target regardless of whether I track the target until it goes pitbull. Am I missing some new requirement that you need to do before your missiles can actually track a target?
I think I did watch 10 vids on the radar in f15c, and I still have issues with locking helos in the Helo Hunt mission, I have it on BVR in rws, then I turn on tws and its not showing anymore, and I can't find it, when I find it I can't lock it, there are some other modes for radar on keyboard 3 and 4 and 6 so I am lost all the time which is what, and when I lock the target I am missing lots of the shots with fox3s and fox1s, and I can't never lock multiple targets or switch between them easily, my results ale absolutely horrible, is the radar in vipers or hornets better than this one?
Hello Grim Reaper. First I want to thank you for your excellent tutorials. I watched them all. I even downloaded the mission to practice bvr mode fight. but something strange happened when I created A new mission. I was able to see the tgt on the radar in rws and tws mode but i cannot lock them. I studied your mission to look for difference’s but I didn’t found any. I cannot lock the targets in bvr mode. Even in quick mission it was the same. Please help me. What went wrong? I spent hours for nothing. Thank you for the channel
So I keep getting lines on my radar but they aren’t filled in like yours are. I’ve lost a couple engagements in fear of me killing a friendly or just randomly firing into clouds. Do you know anything about this?
Im trying to learn this radar so i can fly the f22 and im having an issue of not being able to see anything farther away than 40 miles. If someone could help me understand why that would be awesome

Been getting smoked sans that Radar but I am getting better at it, and I owe that one to you, thanks for this Sir. Really love your videos. Hope to get all of the Aircraft when my wallet allows.
I managed to lock the target, now how to launch my missile?

@@grimreapers thax but i already learnd it myselfe XD. Its a shame that the f15c didn't come with training missions like the su25t
Radar is so cool lol
How did you move the pause button looking thingy? in order to get the lock?
Edit: nvm I figured it out just had to rewind a bit
I just downloaded the practice map.. It's great.. But I cannot kill the enemy jets. Help Please
Hey guys how do you make radar to cycle through all the mods( 1HI,1MED,2HI,2MED)?
So I just got back into DCS and was on the F15, i was locking target with amraam firing missiles yet they weren't hitting the target. I fired an amraam at mach 1.5 only 8 miles from the target looking straight down at him yet it didn't hit. I realized that none of my amraams are even trying to hit the target regardless of whether I track the target until it goes pitbull. Am I missing some new requirement that you need to do before your missiles can actually track a target?
@4:46 how do you get 204 from the 424 display? If you were doing 240 what would it read - I can't easily see that relationship?

I think I did watch 10 vids on the radar in f15c, and I still have issues with locking helos in the Helo Hunt mission, I have it on BVR in rws, then I turn on tws and its not showing anymore, and I can't find it, when I find it I can't lock it, there are some other modes for radar on keyboard 3 and 4 and 6 so I am lost all the time which is what, and when I lock the target I am missing lots of the shots with fox3s and fox1s, and I can't never lock multiple targets or switch between them easily, my results ale absolutely horrible, is the radar in vipers or hornets better than this one?
My F-15 radar is always stuck on "HOJ" no matter what I do, what am I doing wrong?
Probably because the hostile you are facing is jamming. Only solution is to get within about 15 miles.
@@grimreapers Thanks!
I dont get the square pop up whn ive locked him. Is there a setting im missing or something
im having the same problem, did you figure it out?
What i do wrong cuz when i get lock and try to shiit it shoots just cannon
Hello Grim Reaper. First I want to thank you for your excellent tutorials. I watched them all.
I even downloaded the mission to practice bvr mode fight. but something strange happened when I created
A new mission. I was able to see the tgt on the radar in rws and tws mode but i cannot lock them.
I studied your mission to look for difference’s but I didn’t found any. I cannot lock the targets in bvr mode.
Even in quick mission it was the same.
Please help me. What went wrong?
I spent hours for nothing.
Thank you for the channel

How do you pause your plane in place like that
f-15 fast broo f-15 faaast
So I keep getting lines on my radar but they aren’t filled in like yours are. I’ve lost a couple engagements in fear of me killing a friendly or just randomly firing into clouds. Do you know anything about this?
Is there a way to change the f15 radar elevation
What is "Angels" term refer to?
Im trying to learn this radar so i can fly the f22 and im having an issue of not being able to see anything farther away than 40 miles. If someone could help me understand why that would be awesome
"track while scam"
