Would give a bonus tipp for Bombing. In Bombing mode you can set a CCIP, when you find a more worthy target of opportunity. Setup bombing mode, keep trigger/master arm on safe, then put the target betweent the two little vertical line in the HUD, press the trigger, now unsage trigger head for the target and the horizontal indictator lines will tell when to drop the bombs...
A thing to keep in mind about high speed turns is that Viggen in only rated for 7G turns. In DCS you can pull something like 12G before the wings rip in my experience, but irl the plane would have to be taken out of service for frame maintenance afterwards if you did that. You can see in the video that the G meter was maxing out at 9G and you were probably pulling far more than that when the plane was destroyed. My tells for how much G Im pulling without looking at the meter is that at 6.5-7G the pilot starts passing out very slowly, and the wing rattling sound starts playing at around 8-9G.
Re: Tank drop.... External tank can't feed AB3 alone so you should take that into account. I.e. 100 doesn't necessarily mean you've got 100% of your internal stores.
Great tios, thanks. i've been getting back into DCS and after relearning my beloved mirage and Jeff, i'm about to start flying the Vigggen again and this is helping me feel less anxious about the increased workload compared to modern jets ahah
I'd highly recommend it. You'd be surprised at how fast you can learn it and what it can do. It's like someone from the future went back to the 1970s and made a Swedish Starfighter from materials found at a junkyard. It flies like a graceful sky stingray strapped to an old rocket with a dwarf inside that occasionally has to rebuild the engine mid-flight. *thumbs-up*
DON'T TURN AROUND 'Cause you're gonna see your wings breaking DON'T TURN AROUND I don't want you seeing me dying JUST FLY AWAY It's tearing me apart if I'm turnin' So just fuckin goooooooo And get down real low.
The thing I find a real pain with the.viggen is the programming of targets, I really wish there was an easy mode for this where you could just click on the map on a target and then take off .

Ufff.. might get viggen on the next sale. Haha
Haha. I'm helping!
Do it, the Viggen will really be in its element when the Kola map comes out
Do it! Such a nice plane and such a nice mission-profile
@@Dr_Jebushaha, my jet option is still limited, want to add on the jet into the list slowly. Idk which one to go first. Either mirage or viggen

Thanks for the tips!! I'm still learning the basics, but you have a good set of tips right here!
DON'T TURN AROUND
'Cause you're gonna see your wings breaking
DON'T TURN AROUND
I don't want you seeing me dying
JUST FLY AWAY
It's tearing me apart if I'm turnin'
So just fuckin goooooooo
And get down real low.
Lol 12:12 someone forgot to lock their ejection seat handle :D
Yup. I forget so much in the Viggen for some reason

There is, google viggen f10 map markers, it’s included as a feature in the module
I have Dr Jebus in my heart.
IIRC the gunpods are 30mm, not 20.
Yes, you're right. My bad
you could've just skipped the first parts and just say don't turn at all hehe
