    Thanks for doing this video Cap! In your GR Recommend Modules 2023 video you asked whether you should go back and do a full set of tutorials for the AH-64D and I definitely hope you will. GR carrier landing competition videos are why I got into DCS in the first place, and I've learned all my modules using your tutorials. Also, I'm glad to see GR getting some official love from ED in the latest changelog notes.
    Have a very Happy Christmas with your family!

    TGT buttons works fine. If the radar has targets, you press TGT, now you can choose which target you want to store with the cursor. If you press all instead, all targets of the FCR will be stored.

    NOW it's a Longbow. The video helped me figure out the keys to program into my HOTAS, ED, and Voiceattack. Spent this evening getting everything set up and works as advertised first go around. Also added a couple of little scripted commands in Voiceattack to power up and power down the FCR so I don't have to fool with pressing the buttons. Voiceattack is great for that. Also created a bunch of other scripts, I think my favorite is a little script for night flying, I say "Night Flight" and my script runs through adjusting every panel lighting setting and external lighting as well. I find all this button pushing to be so........unevolved 🤪

      P.S. My guess at the probability of US Congress rescinding their ban on investment in foreign F-22 use, is 0%.
      Besides, it's widely known that the F-22 moulds, dies etc. were all deliberately destroyed. So even if the USAF wanted a single new F-22A, they'd have to literally start by making new designs, moulds, dies, to make a copy of a 90's tech fighter. So if you may as well just put that money into leaving room for a bomber version in the NGAD programmes.

  • @up4open
    @up4open 11 месяцев назад +4

    Completely off topic, but I wanted to put this to your viewers who I consider likely to think about global geopolitics. The Kremlin, by shifting the narrative of their actions in Ukraine from defense of Russians to Restoration of Russian Empire, having utilized Threat of Nuclear Strike for the entire year of 2022, and much of 2023, has created a situation where the only option for all other nations is to get nukes as quickly as possible. I say this because the Kremlin's apparent new world order is one based on Nuclear Armed Expansionism as the norm. This, in my view, suggests that within 3 or 4 decades, after dozens of smaller nations rush to build tactical and strategic nukes, some number of these will fail to secure their nukes, either by theft, or by state dissolution and theft, or by mad officer getting a wild-hair. That, in my mind, suggests that if the world allows the Kremlin to appear to have won in Ukraine, the future of the world includes the near random vaporization of cities and human structures. I do approve of evidences to the opposite, but I've not been privy to hearing any.
