What is splash 1 and splash 2 ?

do you use a collective I have Winwing orion2 HOTAS and Rudder Pedals was debating on buying a collective?

Also sir, if you are using tads and set George interface to cmbt then hit the up command he'll align to wherever your tads is pointing

Does anyone have an actual installation video? Otherwise, this doesn’t work.

Does this work with the UE5 update?

Been watching lots of tutorials. So far I like your approach the best. Nice job explaining everything and not getting me lost in the weeds! Keep up the great work!

This 100% is the pro multiplayer tip Just pause the multiplayer matches

Really appreciate the Apache vids. I put it on the shelf until the FCR was ready. Been putting off working on finalizing bindings and getting proficient again. With your tutorials I'll be back in the air soon and putting warheads on foreheads ! The bindings info in your videos extremely helpful man.

Hey Grimey, im currently collecting feedback from apache players, for i have the feeling they have recently (by now its about 8 months ago) changed the apache flightmodel for the worst it has ever been.. it feels overly rolly, likes to occilate in a circular pattern when transitioning into a hover or into forward flight from a hover.. it feels, as if the torque values are massively set to high, making it spin, overteact way too much, even after adjusting the curves a lot! It has really turned me off of the apache completely, despite it being my favorite aircraft and also my most played one..

17:00 bro cleared the room walking backwards :D

i expected a fast combat landing, on the battlefield you would have been already shot down.

Thanks much for the binding info. I've had the Apache since day 1 but put it on the shelf waiting on FCR and other updates. I'll dig back into it. Hope I have enough hats / switches for this mofo Jeez.

I just downloaded the game and immediately got wrapped in! I have no idea what I’m doing but I can tell this is going to be for me! Thanks for making this video I need literally all the help I can get to figure this massive journey out!

FYA WAS BRILLIANT, now it's trash, they have ruined every server by becoming political, even on an Aerobatic server you have to pick a side. Red or blue, also you can't like before spawn anywhere, or in any aircraft you want, I tried to spawn in an F4E and had to spawn in the air, also you only get a couple of aircraft on the ground, so you have no choice but to start your game in the air, so they FYA have taken complete control over whoever joins their server, WHY have they done this, it doesn't make any sense, I will create my own server, and it will be like the other best servers, FYA no more for me.

Hi, I have downloaded "The Way" and installed it as per the instructions from its' creator. I have created a set of waypoints from an F10 map in a MP server, transferred them to an AH64 and watched them being input on the Keyboard and then that's as far as it goes!!! Nothing shows on the MFD map screen and I cannot get the waypoints or a route to show!!!! I know it maybe something I am doing wrong but I have tried everything.......can you help or advise please??? Thanks

When it comes to hotas, avoid the Logitech X56 at all costs! The stick gives ghost signals out of the box. A 15 dead zone wouldn’t stay “on center” flying straight and level

Wish and Pray the best for you my friend ... God loves you and was with you when you were deployed. ALOT OF FORTUNE AWAITS YOU

Thanks for your service man!! hope The best for you(:

My game must be bugged, as soon as I fire on my fcr the radar hellfires de-waz and display as msl not rdy.

Flying 80kts in bob up symbology tells me everything I need to know up front.

yo thank you so much this got me holding perfect hovers

Nice thx mate 😊

How do you go into 3rd person after installing it?

Thx 4 the vid mate 😊

Or Ill just not play a game that requires me to fumble with how bad the ai is

How did you switch targets!? Looks like I am the third person to ask 😆

When did ships come in?

how to turn ON the radar ???????????

To be clear, you DO NOT need a good GPU to run DCS. A mid-low tier GPU (RTX 2060 or higher) will be able to run this game at 1080p no problem if you lower your graphic settings. The biggest determiner of performance is by far your RAM. 16GB of RAM will not last long in any sort of large scale scenario before it fills up and causes your system to start chugging. If you can, spend the extra $50 to get 32GB of RAM and you'll have a significantly better experience. When I first started this game I flew the Su-25t with an Xbox controller for about a month, and had a blast doing both single player missions and the campaign. Eventually grabbed FC3 and started flying the Su-27 as well, getting kills in Growling Sidewinder with the same Xbox controller. Eventually I upgraded to the Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS X for $60 and was able to fly most of Full Fidelity jets with 0 issues. You DO NOT need even a mid-tier setup to have an awesome time with this game. I played for over 6 months before I finally upgraded to a VKB HOTAS setup, and even though I love it, it hasn't made me any better at the game. By far the best upgrade I've made to my flying is head tracking. I can't personally do VR, but being able to look around the cockpit and outside of your aircraft is a huge quality of life improvement. In my opinion, nothing beats TrackIR Pro, but it's expensive. In the meantime, I can definitely vouch for OpenTrack + AITrack. These 2 open source softwares work together alongside a normal PC camera to mimic the functionality of TrackIR. Is it as good? No, not even close. Is it still a huge improvement over normal gameplay, and completely worth it? Absolutely For your first module, everyone recommends grabbing Flaming Cliffs 3, which I don't disagree with necessarily, but I also think that most people come to DCS for the Full Fidelity jets. If you're cool with easing yourself into things, then FC3 is a great value proposition. You get the Su-27, which one of the best PVP jets in the game, as well as the Su-25 which gets you access to Cold War servers, and the F-15C which gives you a taste of NATO jets and can easily hold its own in Growling Sidewinder. If you really want a Full Fidelity jet, then I'd recommend picking either the F-16 Viper or the F/A-18 Hornet. The Viper is, in my opinion, the easiest FF jet to learn and fly, but the Hornet has BY FAR the most content for it. Just by purchasing the Hornet, you get a ton of free missions and campaigns, more than any other jet, on top of having the most paid content. The Hornet is also a more capable jet, having the ability to do just about everything that DCS has to offer, but I personally had a much harder time learning it compared to the Viper. Regardless of your choice, stick with it until you get a good feel for it. You DO NOT need to learn everything about a jet. You can definitely just use Auto-Start to ignore the start-up procedure, and if you only have an interest in shooting other players down, then you can ignore the entirety of Air-to-Ground. There's nothing wrong with just using the parts of the jets that you find fun, and then picking up other skills as you decide you want to use them. The being said, you will absolutely be spending a ton of time either way sitting in training missions, watching videos, or reading guides no matter what. There's really no way around it, and if that doesn't interest you, then just stick to the FC3 jets. You can learn everything you need about them in a couple of hours. Helicopters are amazing. Just because you're here for jets, don't ignore them. They require a completely different skillset, and make DCS feel like an entirely new game. Get yourself a helo and become a god of death (at least until CAP rolls in). 95% of multiplayer servers use either the Caucasus or Syria map. If that's your focus, just grab Syria and you'll be set. For single player, the Persian Gulf comes with the most missions for a bunch of different aircraft, followed by Nevada. These 3 maps (Syria, Nevada, and Persian Gulf) are also used for the vast majority of 3rd party campaigns, so owning these 3 will ensure that you'll have access to more or less everything that DCS has to offer. My purchase order would be Syria > PG > Nevada, and then ignore everything else unless it's required for a campaign you want, or it just looks cool to you. There's also a second free map, the Marianas Islands, that you should grab. It doesn't get used much in Multiplayer, and there's very little mission content for it, but it's a very fast loading and well optimized map, which makes it great for building quick missions on in the Mission Editor. The Supercarrier, while very cool, is genuinely completely unnecessary. I love taking off and landing from it, but in my opinion is NOT worth $40. This might change, as they're finally updating the module again, but If you do pick it up try to grab it on sale for $25. Combined Arms, on the other hand, is borderline a scam. Even at it's $20 sale price, it's not worth it. It currently does not work as advertised or expected, and likely won't until a future update from ED. I highly recommend ignoring it for the time being. You're not missing out on much, I promise. DCS DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A FINANCIAL COMMITMENT!!! I don't know why this is constantly parroted in the community, but it's mind blowing to me. Sure, you can invest a ton of money into this game, but you can also buy FC3 on sale for $25, use an Xbox controller with free face tracking software, and have an absolutely awesome time. DCS doesn't even have to be a time commitment. You can learn Air-to-Air in the F-16 Viper within a couple of hours, and spending literal days on the Growling Sidewinder server having a blast with a $60 HOTAS. And finally, join DCS Discord servers. Flying by yourself is awesome, flying with friends is incredible. DCS genuinely has an awesome community of people who love to help teach other people, so don't be shy. Get in there, ask for help, and see if anyone wants to run some missions with you. Top recommendation goes to the DCS Wingman Finder community. Join their Discord, and you wont regret it. Quick Edit: Make sure you're using DCS Standalone and not the Steam version. Standalone gets you access to the 2-week free trials of the modules, which is an amazing feature. On it's surface, it lets you try things out before you commit to buying them, but, the trials all reset after 6 months. So you could feasibly pick a jet, fly it for 2 weeks, move onto the next one, and rinse and repeat on a 6-month cycle. You'd get to fly every jet, and never pay a dime to do so. Not necessarily something I'd recommend, but it's certainly possible to play this game for basically free.

Came for tips... The OP: Left click to choose, right click to move

thanks for this. While I appreciate people who take the time to explain the finer details not all of us have half an hour to watch a video for a 10 second explanation of something. as a result of your tireless efforts here I can now manually enter freqs and further spread the gospel of pineapple on pizza.

What a perfect to the point video just pure info i love it. This was great after reading the manual. Puts it all together.

Where can I download the mod

I went from a 2700X & GTX 1080 to a 3900X & RTX 3090. Its like a day and night difference! Due to my screen being 3440x1440 i was only getting 60 fps on medium to low settings, now im getting 150 fps with everything on max and no DLSS. Its a whole difference experience

Final got in! This is pretty butt-ass cool!

Sensor select forward to your hud. You will be able to get lock through you hmd which make it way easier to track

Thank man, you save my life !!! good job !!!🤝

👍👌🙏

What you said at the start of the video is good from a video perspective, getting people to listen, but fucked up from a human perspective. I love flying, I fly with anyone new or experience.

Thanks for the guide bro

On this server ...Lone rangers die quickly. This server requires co operative and clear planning to have the most Fun, and it will help new player to develope "good habits".

This doesnt work for me. NG never rises above 0.

What years were you in the usmc? I was 2014-2017

I still cannot get past, or should I say, connect. wtf, over?

Thanks for your service my dude!! Means more than you know.

For complete newbies, the Jf17 is a really good pick as well. It is a slightly weaker F16 but with better weapon variety (it has harpoon, anti-ship capability, F16 has not), it's systems are the easiest to learn of all 4th gen aircraft, it flies the easiest as well. Datacartridge is very nice feature also.. Downsides are that it can carry even less than f16 with very little fuel, it also not well known and less cool than f18/16. Ultimately, F18 will always be the best for new players though, but more overwhelming to learn than Jf17. If ease of use is nr1 criterium for a new player, JF-17, if you already know DCS is for you and accept the complexity plus want carrier ops, F18 best choice.

Excellent, thank you so much for creating this video. I was SO frustrated trying to locate any enemies on the F10 map, couldn’t find the enemy so left server. Now I know what to do.

"there is no pause button at war" ....also pause is for chickens ..... better lose honestly than win by PAUSING.

Check out that MDMA therapy, cool stuff

thanks
