Its great to get a reality check like this video. Sometimes, as a DCS player, I think "hey I could have been a figther pilot!" And then i watch this, and I understand nothing 😂
Now you need to do the same with Mover and teach him how to be an Apache pilot. He already earned his rotary license so it shouldn't be too hard lol
Would love to see this.
Already done some of that. In his channel.
I can hear in Mover's voice that he is truly in his element while going through the instruction. It's obvious he really misses this IRL. Great, enjoyable video!
I sure miss it.
@@CWLemoine WE ALL DO 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻😂👍🏻
@@CWLemoine When I was a kid a family friend of ours was starting in the Air Force (eventually went on the fly the C-130) and he knew I liked planes and would always do a little checklist with me when we were driving somewhere. It always cracked me up as a kid hearing him sit there and go "Engine starting. Engine's started. Disengaging parking brake. Brake's off" and then say things like "Check right" and just look at me with a "Well, hurry up" face until I stopped laughing and said "Clear right" at intersections.
It was all made that much cooler, because whatever Pontiac car he had also happened to have one of those old 80's/90's HUDs on it for speed and direction.
not gonna lie this is actually really fascinating.
Man I could watch this for hours
I almost think the planes pick us as much as we pick them. The Strike Eagle just might be more your fit for fixed wing(?)
But with that said; with everything, it’s a practice-practice for us mere mortals. Thanks for sharing the learning with us!
Its too bad Gonky will never have a DCS setup. I’d love to see him teach the same on the Hornet.
Great video, like to see the instruction coming from Mover. Would really like to see more. Awesome work Casmo!
What's interesting for DCS sake is that now the G warmup actually does something in the Viper. Pretty cool!
this was Gold for nerds like me, well im a former aircraft mechanic in the Portuguese AF, these lessons come in handy, thank you both
It's so cool when you can listen to real pilots. Mover should make more clips like this
Excellent video.
Would love for mover to do F16 basics series. Not weapons or radar or combat that he can't go into details of because he'll end up in GITMO. But just. Basic taxi etiquette, take off, landing. ATC communications, etc
The no trim thing is super interesting. Maybe it's just bad habits in general, or just me flying the Hornet incorrectly, but I feel like I was just trimming the Viper and Hornet a lot.
This has been a fun video series so far. It's always tough for me to feel comfortable flying on multiplayer just because flying solo means it's so easy to have no skills in comms, formation flying and everything else when it's generally just you solo offline.
Thanks Casmo, I think you are doing great with the Viper especially against Mover who is a very good teacher, thanks again for the fun!
Absolutely brilliant. Love these kind of videos. Awesome to get insight from Mover. Hopefully we can look forward to more! Would also be awesome to get something similar in the Hornet with Gonky!
Been following Mover for a few years and now I'm following you too! It's super cool getting to watch you learn the F-16. I've been slowly learning the F-14 since I picked up during the Christmas sale. DCS really is a lot of fun!
The f14 is the hardest plane to learn imo. By a lot.
Never thought id see dad flying with dad 🖤
You guys are so awesome! Thanks a lot for these kind of videos, they are so educating! greetings from switzerland Loopan
regarding your controls issue. remember that anytime you install a new input device, DCS maps axis controls to it. sometimes, you have to drag the controls screen horizontally, while in axis commands filtered mode, to see that some other device has yaw, pitch or roll mapped to it erroneously. you probably knew all this, but a reminder just in case :)
It would be so cool to see you and Mover go at it in the Apache.🤞
We have. Check his channel.
This was brilliant. Learnt a lot. Cheers!
hope u upload more of this! im really curious to hear how the comms are set up, like between flight members and other flights etc
As an absolute amateur i find the f16 super sensitive and hard to control, heard that before. But it's comforting to see a real pilot struggle too. The x52 doesn't feel cut out for the sensitive stick of the viper.
Nice video Casmo. Thank you. Please do more of F16. I am IRL helicopter pilot so the 64 is close to my heart (I love to play CPG), but my pilot is not always available. So I decided to get into a FW and did choose the F16c. I am now in process of learning how to operate this acft., so I do appreciate info on the tactic and practical procedures. The info on systems and weapons operation are easy to find in guides and manuals, but tactics not so much. So thanks again.
The trim part is funny cause in DCS you trim roll A LOT like constantly if its any asymetrical and even carrying the t-pod makes it asymetrical.. funny enough in good old Falcon 4.0 you didnt need ever to touch the trim because Falcon 4.0 couldnt simulate asymetrical loads.. so even with 5 bombs on one wing and non on the other the game would consider all center line
This is great stuff! I knew Mover knew more than ruining movies! lol We newbies in DCS eat this stuff up…with our favorite Gods! It would be great to see the serious side of Gonky!
Great video and an elite fighter pilot to assist.
Great show, laughed so hard!
great vid Cosmo plz keep it coming 👍
loved it please more of the training vids like that with mover THE viper 😃MOVER is the guy to learn from .
Thanks for sharing!
yes ED the Hud is washed out because the green used in the Viper Hud is a darker green that creates automatically more contrast , ED could correct that in 5 minutes, but they will take forever to do it...
Loved this!
I thought this was really cool, thanks Casmo.
Very cool
i rolled the thumbs up over 500
that was fun : )
Yay, part 2🎉
So many winwing failure being reported
the override must be bugged as it worked a few versions back...i remember checking for it
Love seeing you in fast movers... with mover (There is a pun there, maybe).
Awesome ending. 😂
Just working my way through this. Looks like Mover had a patented spontaneous Winwing hotas disconnect (suffered myself haha)
How are you finding the Viper dude? I love it. It's so intuitive and simple.
I follow you and Mover and you both are great! ❤
Just a few tips for a better Viper experience:
- On you HUD you have UHF and VHF radio infos, but you usually don't need this, because you have this infos on in right DED. Probably, the switch on the right console is on DED data, should be on OFF.
- On the UCP in front, you have the 3 way switch DRIFT C/0 - NORM - WARN RESET. If you "lose" your HUD to a direction, you can click ON WARN RESET to recenter it. If you click on DRIFT C/0 you will have the HUD always centered despite the wind (hud moves to signaling the cross wind, so if it moves to the right, it means the aircraft is "pushed" on the right by the wind that comes from the left) .
- On the approach to landing, your HUD is switched to A-A. It's better to have the aircraft in NAV mode when landing. (press again A-A)
- When you are in on the DOWNWIND LEG, you should start the gear down at 3/4 of the runway.
Please keep this kind of videos coming ! We need this !
DED to the HUD is standard. It’s to film the info for your tapes and debrief later. Most people don’t fly around in DRIFT C/O.
Mover and you, what a nice pair! I like such videos! even if bullets are not flying through air... its still enjoyable.
Please do more with him. What would be nice to hear from him? You can continue what you began... some more departure and arrival/approach stuff, breakups - rejoins, explaining radio procedures, callsigns on AUX/PRI how it is affected when there is admin or Tactical Lead change. Use of single or double digit C/S by USAF - how again would be the wingmen numbering affected by Lead change, by formation split - here especially, if the new admin Lead will use old Leads tactical C/S as we can watch in video in link: ruclips.net/video/TZGMUwFI_lY/видео.html
marianas isnt terribly useful mission making, but damn its a pretty map. cant wait to see the ww2 version
You were heading out to sea ? :)
hey what map/terrain is that??
[ nvm... marianas ]
Ive also wanted to know if mover does a full start up or the quick verson in dcs?
Hell no
Did Mover make it out?
I wonder if Mover do 1 to 1 lessons for anyone wanted to learn? that be awesome knda suggession
I can almost hear him say “no way” even now.
@@CasmoTV Well can understand it will be too much for Him but i really appreciate your videos great stuff 😃
When saying BRA, between bearing and range there should not be word "for". it could mislead to number 4. I would like to ask Mover, if they use it IRL. Seems they did, cause he said it here in this video.
Meh. Not if you’re a native English speaker. It makes no sense to say range bearing and then suddenly say “hey number 4”.
I did not use BRAA here. I know you’re probably referring to bullseye format, but there is a distinction. BRAA is from you to a target. Bullseye is a position relative to a fixed point.
Also, to add, there’s a difference between casual jibber jabber (What we’re doing) and 3-1 standard comm. This was not meant to be the latter.
@@CWLemoine hi there. No, it doesn't matter, or BRA, BRAA or Bullseye, do you guys IRL say like "for" between bearing and range, or you don't? Based on your words at 8:08 you used "for". Could it be misleading in any case with a number 4? I guess not, even if I'm not a native english speaker. But there are some tutorial which teach not to use "for" word.
example: ruclips.net/video/gPLvf0Lh_NY/видео.html
What happened at the end?
Big badda boom
I saw that but why did he lose control for no reason lol.
Hardware failure
Winwing Orion1 Joystick base by chance???
Which map is this? It's super sexy!
Marianas
@@CasmoTValso liked to see Marianas map. Last time I tried in the Huey, it was a bit of a slide show on my PC. Keen to see the WW2 map ED is working on.
