I was loading a Cliffs of Dover campaign while watching this and so it had really sad dramatic music playing in the background for the course of the whole thing.
Those old fashioned Freedom Fighters (original F5), they were pretty good. Still in service in the Spanish Air Force (Only the double seated version), for advanced training and secondary roles. Previous step for an F18 or Eurofighter.
I wish this game had the SAAB Draken in it. It could carry rocket pods that looked like slim fuel tanks before firing then the front was blown off and 19 7.5cm rockets where fired. These pods where designed so the aircraft could do a frontal attack on a bomber wholly guided by radar. No flares would work against that. Would be spectacular against AWACS :D
Points to it, shit happens, you may forget the bearing if you have to turn around for a quick second. Helps to have a needle pointing in the direction you want to go.
Just google some DCS vids. Understand the difference between FLAMING CLIFFS 3 package of aircraft and the regular DCS planes is that the flaming cliffs is not full fidelity, no clickable cockpits, etc. It focuses more on BVR. The full fidelity is anything outside of the flaming cliffs 3 package. Then you just look up the list of planes available and see what you like. I mean just to learn the A-10C warthog will take you a few months. It depends on what you want to do. Look up the list of aircraft available, then look up the videos on youtube and make a choice on your first module.
Hi Ralfi. You must've been asked this a million times, but do you have any tips for a new DCS player who wants to get started in multiplayer servers? I've read the manuals, done the tutorials (over and over agian), and gotten as much SP practice as I can get, but the MP servers are a little daunting sometimes, and I don't always know what I'm supposed to do there, to be honest.
Read the briefings. Fighters go towards bullseye and ground strikers follow their waypoints. MP is usually a kill fest, the ground pounders have clear objectives, the fighters just shoot whatever isn't friendly. That's all.
Thanks for the reply. What about communicating with other players, for some actual teamwork? Any chance of that happening without actually being in some clan/squadron?
Who knows. Where you play and with whom and what their experience is, all of this will vary. I play with some guys I know on a regular basis so we are all on the same page. If you go jumping around to different communities it's always a pain to figure every individual out.
I ask from pure innocence, as a man who learned on 4th generation fighters: What's the attraction to the F-5? It must have some sort of interesting character traits I'm not aware of.
I am impressed with your 3-1 comm, however you say visual when referring to non-friendly aircraft. It's just tally. Otherwise, I love watching the videos dude, keep it up!
Is DCS still used as a flight simulator? I mostly see posts about DCS dating back about 1 to 3 years ago. I rarely find recent posts such as this one. I've also heard that Eagle Dynamics are not really supporting this game anymore. Have I heard wrong? I don't want to invest in some hardware if it's going to be a waste of time.
Where the hell do you get that kind of info from? There are more 3rd party developers and more aircraft in development today than were 3 years ago. A whole list of flight sim jets, a new WWII map with dedicated WWII planes coming, engine overhauls, thousands of new players, etc and so forth. DCS is more alive today than it ever was. I mean we get the F-14 tomcat and F-18 soon as well.
Ohhh. I didn't realise. Ok then I'll keep watching your space and do some more research. Do you know if simis G is still active. Haven't seen him post anything in a long time. Like your videos by the way and thank you for the response.
+ralfidude - Are you still using the Starways texture for Black Sea map? Alternatively, would you care to share your current mod list, or is it basically the same as previous video on it? (deese-a-one: ruclips.net/video/2jYn35R0M6Y/видео.html ) Edit: "Pretty please with sugar on top." because I'm polite, yo... :)
Which version of the F-5E did leathernecks use? The Mexican version? This plane is nerfed shit! Hundred bucks if leathernecks is developing the F-1 that it won't support the AIM-7 sparrow. If it does it'll probably be the AIM-7E or F and track like total shit!
Nice video, enjoyed that. Drop me a message if you'd like to do some online Viggen flying this weekend.
Sure thing.
sent you a msg
Oh yeah! Looking forward to some Viggen videos :)
I was loading a Cliffs of Dover campaign while watching this and so it had really sad dramatic music playing in the background for the course of the whole thing.
geez that awac was packed with flares
And i return to this video again… Thanks for the memories ralfi
Man its like nostalgia going back on this vid so good
Wow ralphie this is your best video of the year so far
Alex Duper hi dad
Please keep flying the F-5E I like see those.
Those old fashioned Freedom Fighters (original F5), they were pretty good. Still in service in the Spanish Air Force (Only the double seated version), for advanced training and secondary roles. Previous step for an F18 or Eurofighter.
I would love to see you and Linebacker in an F14 against some F-5's. Hope that day is not too far.
looks like a worthwhile simulator
top of the line sim
0:02 Loving the GITS-inspired intro plinks. And the rest of the video, naturally
Ghost in the shell?
How did you pronounce Sukhumi Babushara?
What was the jibberish ralfi
Nice video man!
Great vid as always Ralfi but could you post your T.16000M FCS keybinding file? I just got one and was curious about your key binds.
I don't use that hotas for DCS, I use the thrustmaster warthog hotas. I only use the t16 for like ARMA and stuff.
I wish this game had the SAAB Draken in it.
It could carry rocket pods that looked like slim fuel tanks before firing then the front was blown off and 19 7.5cm rockets where fired.

Would be spectacular against AWACS :D
Damn wide bodies always showing off their flares !
Thats really fluid graphics. Which are your specs? cpu, gfx, memory...? =) Any nice gear with that?
whats the difference between bogey dope and bogey picture in the AWACS menu?
When I watch your F-5 videos it makes me want to play bad. Might be little of my current fishbed flying
Splaaaaash!
Nothing more but-clenching than hearing merged on that server!
Thx for showing us where the awacs actually is, I'm terrible at seeking it out
,
Err... it's that marker on your RWR that says 50... Follow it like you'd follow the yellow brick road.
Thanks! Love ur vids
Lovely, and to fucking long since some Ralfi action. ;) How long before the AWACS respawns?
They respawn relatively fast unfortunately
Nice video. Btw, are you using any texture pack? Seems a little bit like Mustang to me.
Yes! Please more F5 action :D
why not do any Nevada ops yet, or at all?
Hey ralfidude, Awsome Video like always. Do you use any Visualmods like "SweetFX and/or Starways Black Sea Map2.0"?
Nothing like that but I do have one ground texture mod, though I can't remember what the name is.
NVM
Here is my list:
i.imgur.com/IXwoGcm.png
Wich should i get? F-5E or Mig-21 or Mirage 2000?
It depends. Look at some videos for both and see which one looks like more fun to you.
This is good stuff, I just love that module. Are you using a texture mod?
o7
Oh so this is how you did it
Love these videos
The graphics look amazing. Great vid.
Why do you change the dial on your HSI every time you get a BRA call
Points to it, shit happens, you may forget the bearing if you have to turn around for a quick second. Helps to have a needle pointing in the direction you want to go.
Thanks for telling us..
*Sigh*
Huh? Telling you what?
ralfidude Quoting that guy at the end of the video :P
OHH oh oh, yeah, that.
i played my first flight game because of star citizen. now the flight model had gone simple and boring. this looks complex should i get this game?
If you want complex, then this is your simulator.
i figure you would say that. mmmm i think i will take the plunge
any advice on videos to watch before i buy it. i know i wont be getting it tonight

awesome vid
Can you post your RWR mod for Su27? (i got the RAE RWR Ralfidude mod but its A10 only)
What's your opinion on the Viggen?
Big Red gay
Tinokap gr8 opinion bro
Sebastian Craenen sebastian is also gay, probably Theres 50 % chance
Gaynes among swedish males is serius proplem that forces their females to be hot to compete on those rare straight males
I won't know till i fly it
Are you still going for that Air Force spot, Ralfi?
Is that a ground texture modded? Which mod is it?
Do you play in 21:9 or...?
I ask from pure innocence, as a man who learned on 4th generation fighters:
What's the attraction to the F-5? It must have some sort of interesting character traits I'm not aware of.
Every fight is a dogfight. Its also a fun jet to fly as you need to use your head to both fly and navigate.
Damn, I'm early... and I don't know what the hell to write...
I am impressed with your 3-1 comm, however you say visual when referring to non-friendly aircraft. It's just tally. Otherwise, I love watching the videos dude, keep it up!
They can be used interchangeably as long as the person you're flying with understands what you mean.
Request mojito! I'd like one too.
Late perch. Put the gear and flaps down and perch 45 deg off the runway at latest
A video is great if you look at it and think: well i dont have 15 minutes to spare atm but ill just give it a few minutes and BAM its over! ♥
why no manned AWACS in DCS?
Nobody wants to sit in an airplane doing donuts for 4 hours over the same spot.
depending on when you recorded this that first mig you killed could have been me lol
at 4:00 why does the sun look like the star of David?
ralfi you should do more mig-21 stuff you've only done 1 vid about it and that was 2 years ago try mig 21 vs f-5 flying the mig ;)
Played on this server in the weekend and got shot down like 30 times and got 2 kills in the 21.

John Smith He's around. Still flies from time to time but has his family to look after first.
Ok thank you again. I also follow his videos. I'm from Melbourne, Australia by the way.
Poor AWACS
Jogui3000 War is hell
Ikr
Jogui3000 I wonder if the various AWACS have ejection seats..?
Tankers don't, AWACS in the other hand, Idk :P
mig 21 videos? PLS

Wunderbar; thank you, sir!
Is this DCS?
There is a description Pablo. No wonder you turned to drugs...
You're racist
You're the one who can't read, not me.

And it'll be one centerline AIM-7F and not two, one under each wing.
