@Tonsofcraft fuel tank diving. I flew around the world, fixing bad transfer fuel issues in the main fuel cells. There were times I sat chest deep in fuel on a doghouse in the tanks for hours. That's probably the Aw crap times.
Very cool! I've been working on TAMMAC software upgrades/enhancements for the past couple of years, so anything Hornet-related usually draws my interest. DMC-105 and -106 aren't too bad to work with, but dealing with the ancient -104 boxes has me pulling my hair out. We tried getting them to let us go out to China Lake for flight testing ("you want a software guy in the back seat to see how well it works for real, and not just on the bench, right?!"), but no luck. 😀
@CrazyGaming_DCS echo 19 and dcs realistic are great but have some cost to them. The realistic mod is like 20. The echo 19 I paid for but think it's by donation iirc.
Gimp on the dash board stickers added to the dark clean cockpit mod. I went to Millington A school AD Aircrew in 87. When did you get your wings brother?
@SteonCZ Thanks, and I love this stuff. As a Disabled Veteran who has lost a good bit of mobility, I couldn't get anything better to do with my newfound early retirement 😉 😆
Thanks everyone for the love, we hit 200 subscribers today.❤❤❤❤💕💕
Was there ever like "Aw crap, I gotta do this again" moment when maintaining the Hornet?

Hey from Knox field ft Rucker home of the chinook! I’m an avionics tech (contractor). Great video. Love seeing maintainers do their thing.
@Caprice854 awesome I'm from Alabama and loved driving down to Rucker and get buzzed by the helos. Isn't it crazy how we can sim our aircraft now?

Thank you :)
Super 👍 Thank you
Solid work!
The Footholds await us, my good sir.😎
Nice video. What sound mods are you using? Noticed the jet sounded different from vanilla sounds and honestly I love the ones you use here.
@CrazyGaming_DCS i use dcs realistic and the echo 19 sound mod.

@@DCS4DVetTV Gotcha, I’ve always thought about getting Echo 19 but never got around to it.
@CrazyGaming_DCS it's pretty good for the external sounds but man the DCS realistic is where the best cockpit sounds come from.
I'm a new subscriber! Thx for sharing. Just one thing, Rshift+P u can remove the pilot body. LIKE
@Dcs-Brasil I forget and get excited 😊 😁 thinking it's me in the pilot body 🤣😂. Thanky for watching
Nice engine run!
@@alpiinoo135 Appreciate it, that I can even remember all this is the amazing part. It's been 437 years ago 😅🤣😂
Do you use a mod for the MFD's? The lettering is a nice white and not green.
@Jinx19766 it's the F18 mfd mod with the realistic hud and JHMCS upgrades for threat id by color. I love it but it does break ic for some servers
@DCS4DVetTV awesome videos btw. Very fun to watch.
@Jinx19766 thank you, I enjoy the opportunity to have fun and share .

Is that a mod for the grey text on the MPD? Noticed the caution messages on the left were yellow also.
@murdock615 it is a mod for the HMD and the mfds. I believe user files has it.
what device you are using for the way the camera is moving?
he uses trackir with a proclip its a good head tracker system
@@Armyfist-vp2zp thank you my brother, I do use the Nature point Trak IR with pro clip when not using the Pimax Crystal light.
