Even a year later this is still my "GO TO" video on re-familiarising myself with A/A-BVR in the Hornet.
Simply excellent buddy.
I never comment on CZcams videos but I just couldn’t pass it up on this one. Absolutely fantastic. Your tutorials have been instrumental in shallowing the DCS learning curve for me. I’m sure it’s a lot of work to film these videos, but I’d love more long-form videos. I’m certain you could make a video on extending the landing gear and I would learn something. You’re a great teacher, man.
Thanks mate 🙏🏻 appreciate you taking the time to write a comment, glad you find my style of teaching easy and understandable 👌🏻 Go shoot some aircraft down now 💪🏻💪🏻
I comment on every video I watch. Even if it's just to say thank you. The amount of time, effort and skill that some expend to make these tutorial videos deserve at LEAST that. So I am the anti-spectre. lol But I will agree with you on all points. DCS is not just a game. Pac Man is a game, Tetris is a game. Modern Warfare is a game. This is a sim. This is as close as we can get to real combat in the sense of the procedures. Real combat has that "death" thing that comes with it. If I die in DCS, I just go take a piss, refill my tea and reload the mission. But it gives us the flavor of what the real fighters must learn, and that is a powerful thing. Hell, for training I have my options set to immortal. I can hear the enemy missiles hitting my jet and am like "huh. Well, I am dead for sure. How did he get me?" and then I go rewatch from his point of view. That is also a powerful learning tool. See the BVR from his POV.
@@TorniQuetHDdo you happen to make any quick videos on how to setup missions like this for ourselves so we can practice like this?
This is simply excellent and a primer on flying the F/A-18C. This is basically classroom work and a procedural trainer. Thank you for taking the time to teach those willing to learn and immerse themselves, Mate.
Glad it helps mate 👍🏻
Thanks for your time and effort with your videos. I reckon your training videos are right at the top of the stack in terms of the background info regarding setting etc then what they mean in the real world...Been on GS a few times with a shit load of fuel and AMRAMS and now got a better idea why I've been whacked so often 😒
Great video, you're absolutely the best/easiest to follow videos for learning the hornet and DCS. So happy you're able to keep up with the series. Thank you!
Cheers mate, glad the videos help you out and make sense
I would happily second this. So much easier to follow, understand, and more importantly, remember ! Thanks for making these.
Loving your tutorials! They include all the detail I need and answer so many questions I still have after watching other channels. I even know exactly where I'll be mapping some hotas buttons before I've even jumped in the plane.
Many thanks.
Your videos are just top-notch. Love the no fuss approach of these while giving the viewer heaps of valuable info
Just WOW!, there's quite a few really good guys doing DCS videos, but yours are off the scale on how well they're made!, good on ya mate! keep them coming!
Thanks for the kind words mate! Appreciate the support
Great video and great explanation! I’ve been struggling with the FA18 radar in multiplayer and this helped a lot. One of the best explanations of the radar and BVR capabilities that I’ve seen on CZcams! Well done!
Loving your tutorials bro. I am sliding back into DCS World and I always struggled with Air-to-Air in the Hornet (specifically understanding the radar). I think this video wrapped a bunch of that up with the way you explain it. Thank you!
This was a great tutorial! Ive watched many DCS videos and everyone else uses technical jargon to explain technical jargon, probably because they don't know what they are talking about. I learned more from this video than all the other videos I've watched combined. Thank you for the lesson and being entertaining at the same time.
Amazing! I’ve been fighting with this in the training mode for a few days, couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. This makes all the sense in the world! Thanks much..
Best video and explanation I've found on A2A and the functions of the Attack Radar. Lived down unda for 16 years and you guys explain things clearly and concisely. Thank you!
Most comprehensive video I have seen in a LONG time. All your video's are. Thank you for such awesome content!!
Glad you’re enjoying them all mate 🙏🏻
I had big problems in BVR and this tutorial helped me to understand my hornet better. This is a great tutorial. Thanks ✈️❤
Wow, a very intensive video. Thanks for refreshing and showing the interaction between radar, SA-page, weapon. Great work!
Hope it helps you out mate
A very good video.
This is the best explanation of the "crank" that I have seen/heard.
I am going to checkout your other creations now.
Great video - waiting on some parts to finish my rig, cant wait to dive right into DCS
I've watched a lot of these and it finally makes sense, thank you.
Amazing video mate, getting back into DCS and this is the only series worth watching, thanks again!
OMG, clear, precise, an absolute godsend for us newbies learning the ropes!!
Thanks for the great content!
This helped me a ton, been struggling with it forever but finally starting to get the hang of it
Thanks mate for the video. Love the detail and ease of understanding you provide.
Explains a lot for a 63yo Newby. Ive been simming for about 10 months now. This was very helpful, so thank you!
Fantastic video with clear explanations! Your approach to teaching is refreshing and easy to grasp.
Great video. Helped me finally understand the radar and avionics of the f-18.
Thank you for sharing your experience 😁👍. Brilliant helpful info 🎉🎉
Nice how-to.. learned a lot. A lot of questions i had were answered. Must watch for everyone. Highly recommended 👍
this was a solid video my guy. lots of tips. can't wait to try them out.
Learnt a lot, great vid mate! - Very new to DCS, but really helpful info. Subbed
great vid. Was a world of help for me as a n00b learning some air to air for the first time.
Awesome vid! Very well done, thx 😉
Amazing, subscribed because your videos are helping me learn my favorite jet
Great Tutorial thanks so much for taking the time to explain everything about using the Radar in the Hornet 🙂
Thanks for the tutorial! I never understood the HUD symbology for the Amraam and now I i get it! Welp, Liked, Subbed and I wish you the best.
Excellent video, thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Just found this video. Excellent tutorial thank you
Thank you, subscribed
Great !!! I really apreciate your teaching. Thankyou alot!!!
This was great man, please make more!
Thankyou. Now I'm no longer a "FOX 3" virgin. I've just subscribed to your channel, because of the quality of this video.
Great video, man.
Fantastic Video, super informative! [subscribed]!
Best BVR video I’ve ever seen my dude! Great walkthrough of why the crank manoeuvre actually works and why it’s pretty much pointless firing anywhere near Rmax 👌
Glad it made sense mate, let me know how you go doing BVR after using some of the techniques I covered in the video 💪🏻
Nice work mate, cleared a few things up I was learning.
Hope it helps mate
Thanks again! I have to admit ... I was once the 10 AMRAAM guy ... :D
Me too mate! Me too!!
OMG, here we go with a new tutorial video.
I'm smashing the like button. Thanks :)
Thanks legend!!
Superb video. It really helped a lot. Thanks so much!
Thanks mate
fantastic video ! easy to understand straight to the point i can get rid of a few videos now that try to explain the same thing i got from your one video!
Glad it helped you out mate
Can't wait until I get back into DCS again. I had my complete gaming system and perifals all stolen in early March. Going to build my own system. Going with a AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3d with a 4090 gpu. Have the Lian 216 case, psu and motherboard on the way. Ordered my Foxxmounts yesterday. Great tutorial video. I fly in the Tophatters Squadron. It might take me a bit to aquire everything but hopefully I can get back into flying by mid July
That serves to illustrate you don’t need to waffle, pregnant pause, comment ‘more in a later tut’ in order to produce a long tut on a small but complicated process and cover tactics to boot. There was so much detail and advice in this tutorial; no crap. Makes me grateful there are hoods out there that know what they are talking about and can impart their knowledge a simple chunk by chunk approach so that us novices can learn and hopefully improve our skill levels on this wonderful game. Very many thanks for sharing and shall revisit this as part of my learning curve when next in the cockpit.
Glad it wasn’t too technical or dragged on for too long for you mate 🙏🏻 let me know how you go using some of the things you picked up from the video
nice and solid brief , many thanks learnt loads, many thanks
Cheers mate, hope it helped
Great video thank you. I would love to see an advanced version of this video, for example in case he is cracking as well - to which side would you crank, what if he fires, etc.. Less sterile scenarios and more combat tactics.
I have watched (and thoroughly enjoyed) your vid, and read the comments. Have to agree wholeheartedly, great vid dude. Precise, concise, and without going too deep into the bullshit of "ya gotta do it this way". oh, subbed btw, gonna be going thru the rest of ur vids now :)
Thanks mate!! Glad it made sense to you and wasn’t too overwhelming 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Jumping back in myself. I need to get the different radar modes and how to quickly switch between them again. Thanks for all your videos man, it is nice to have all these refreshers to watch or listen to at work.
Hope it all makes sense for you mate
@@TorniQuetHD Yeah man, now I need to start trying to dodge incoming missiles...haha.
@@GoldenAura32 check out jabbers on YT if you haven’t already mate, he has a brilliant video on notching *dodging missiles* if you haven’t seen it.
Thank you . . . very helpful!
You’re welcome mate 👌🏻
Good Job men thanks
Cheers mate, hope it helped
مقطع ممتاز لصواريخ الام رام ذاتية التتبع
Great vid.. Thanks a lot
Glad it helped mate
Great explanation!
Glad it helped mate, let me know if you have any better success in BVR now
man your videos make me buy Hornet like 2 months ago, and it has now become my favorite module! BTW you have to check operation cerberus north, I've played it and it was awesome for Hornet enjoyers like us. Great vid as always
Try rising squall
Do u have a10c ii
I haven’t yet mate, but time poor atm, still gotta get through Raven one campaign before I look at another campagn
I can’t wait to 1) try these tips out and 2) for the super hornet to get released
Great video fecker! You are my new go-to flyboy for training and I appreciate the work you put into these and the knowledge you share. I typically watch one of you videos then fly, rewatch the video then fly, rewatch the video and fly and then start any head scratching. Here is my head scratch... when using F/A-18 AIM-120C, my steering dot in HUD is seldom inside the target diamond (using v2.8 stable) on a locked target. I've seen some comments on-line about that being a bug, but they are old comments so I am guessing this is not a bug, but simply operator error. Any input as to why my steering dot is seldom inside the target diamond would be appreciated.
Quality!
@TorniQuetHD. You quit making vids, hope all is ok man, your my fav DCS turorial guy. Miss all that you do, hope to see you back soon.
Gr8 vid bud-thx
Hope it helps mate
Now I'm going to have to check out your other videos to see what else I'm doing wrong. Lol
Hope you enjoy them mate
Few questions, a little off topic but I love the info you have provided here. Do you change to use rwr all in sensor settings? Also what about HMD blink off so you can see through bottom of jet and do you use/increase the HMD to 100nm?
Hey this is fantastic!!! Now what do i do if there are two jets heading my way? This happens all the time in 4ya
все очень хорошо и толково рассказано!👍
I don’t know what you said mate but I hope the video helped you out 🙏🏻
The f18 series helped me so much during my 2 week free trial, made me decide I might aswell buy the plane :D
You won’t be disappointed with it mate, she’s a great airframe to fly
I like it so much I bought two 😂
Thanks for your video. What is the rule for the radar frequencies settings?
Quick question as I’m on the east coast of Australia, do you offer personal training ?
Really a great video. You have helped me out alot with learning how to operate the F-18. The only thing I would have like more is to see all of your joystick bindings when you talk about binding all the right ddi buttons. I have the Warthog Thrustmaster Throttle and Stick and it already had bindings set up for dcs. So when you start to show how your bindings are set up for the RWS/TWS button in the video I was very interested and wanted to see how you set up your other bindings like for the range and auto buttons on the ddi. Can you post or upload your joystick and throttle bindings so others can see what you have set up and compare them to their own.👃
I’ll see what I can do mate, I use the F-18 grip instead of the warthog grip so a few buttons are different between the two
I truly hope you understand the significance of your videos. You are much easier to follow and learn from than people like Grim Reaper. Nothing against him but, you do a far much better job at explaining things.
Thank you
Hope it helped mate
@@TorniQuetHD Oh it helped alright! I was clueless in BVR and had no idea how to crank. Your channel is a godsend.
Fantastic video as always but just one question regarding your display, how do you get such clear images, my cockpit seems blurred and larger pixelate than yours help a brother out please and keep up the good work. 👍👍
I want to thank you for taking the time to put out this educational content. I have used your bombing tutorial mission to practice a variety of AG weapons, and landings (runway is in close proximity to target zone). I have an "ask". Is there any way that you could put a AA mission (downloadable). This would give us newbies an opportunity to practice AA using different load outs. Maybe a quick video of you running through different AA weapons at different target types. Thank you for helping support, and growing, the DCS community.
Welcome back!
Cheers mate, busy busy atm 😅
@@TorniQuetHD Hopefully busy in a good way ^_^ ... I was worried you got tired of DCS :D
I've been going down the warbird rabbithole after your Su-25T series and trying to relearn fundamentals...I just kept going further and further back in time :D
Where did ya go, brochacho? Need my Aussie teacher fix!
How do you do the view changes in the cockpit? Looks like a combination of track ir and a zoom key?
Gold.
Fantastic tutorial
The crank makes absolute sense
If possible could you help with a query
Attack radar is SOI in right MFD
If you SCS forward it changes the HUD symbology
Same again with SCS aft
I'm confused
How does the aircraft identify what jet is in front of you on your right display I’ve been struggling to get it on mine. I think it’s referred to as IFF.
Hi man , thanks for the good video =) , just a question , for example on 25:07 im never gettin that "Triangle with the (29)" ect, what settiing is making that ? /thanks
I think that is the RWR being transposed onto the radar mate. I just had my RWR turned on and datalink on and it works
@@TorniQuetHD Roger thanks )
why sometimes when I pull trigger, the missle does fire?
Great content as can be expected. I can never seem to get those yellow diamonds on the edges of the SA and Radar pages, the ones that in your video had 29 in them, what am I doing wrong?
Is your RWR on? On/off is a pushbutton bottom of the center dash.
^^^^ check that and also make sure you have your HUD boxed on the EW page too
Very thorough synopsis. For interest sake... if the bandit pulled the same manouvre, in the same direction you would eventually merge.. How would you counter? I guess close quarters combat or reestablish if he went opposite direction?
Yeah pretty much, you will end up in the merge or will have to bug out and reset the fight if you don’t want to get to the visual arena to fight
Try SPOT Mode,, you will lock him up quicker,, good tutorial..
I must be doing something wrong but i don't pick up any contacts on the SA. I get the yellow triangle thingy, but the actual contact doesnt appear.... Does it mean i have put the wrong search altitude in the radar? Datalink is on; EW hud is on....
Been awhile since I've flown the module, and out of town for work so can't double check. But can't you cycle between HSI and SA pages by pressing sensor select switch in direction of whichever display you have it on for a quick change.
You sure can mate 👍🏻
I’ve been spoiled by the F-14 and AIM-54, and now the F-18 seems like crap to me. 😂
Have to relearn it and this guide helped loads, thanks mate!
Speed is king in BVR
@@TorniQuetHD indeed. I haven’t flown the F-16 or F-15C, so I’ll have to ask, how good do you think the F-15E will be in BVR?
Metric F ton of fuel, so you can be in reheat for very long, and overall a significantly faster platform than the F-18. I know RB said that they won’t model the removable CFTs, but maybe post-release, they could. Then the F-15E will be a monster.
@@rhysgoodman7628 will be interesting to see how it stacks up in an air to air configuration for sure. If it can still hit some good top end speeds I’d say it will be a force to be reckoned with for sure
do you ever use Undesignate/NWS button in TWS to bug the target without having to slew TDC over the marker? Also was kinda surprised to see RWS drop the lock, I thought once you had a lock from RWS it goes to STT and automatically follows the target.
Yeah for sure mate! Totally forgot about the NWS switch to cycle through contacts with the radar 🤦🏼♂️ and in RWS it goes to LTWS mode first press of TDC depress then you need to hit it again to switch it to an STT lock
@@TorniQuetHD Aaah.. so is the reason it lost the lock in this video because you only hit TDC Designate once (thinking you were in TWS mode), which put it into LTWS, which didn't have Auto follow on? If you hit it again to get STT it'd auto follow, or you need to be in TWS and switch it to Auto once you have an L&S bugged?
Ive got a question about the SA page scale bind, What should you search for? cant find how to bind the SA page scale to a HOTAS or keyboard button
Mouse over the physical button in the jet and it should show you the name of the bind to look for mate
any word when the next vid will be up?
Why did you stop posting? Love the vids
Hello Torniquet, I dunno if you are finished with your great SU-25T beginner serie but it was great. Do you plan on redoing a bit of SU-25T? If so could you do a simple mission, or even the firt mission of the campaign, and take us through it while giving your thought process? This would be the best !!!
Hey mate, not finished with it… just a bit time poor atm so video production is slowed down a bit for now. I plan on going through all of the weapons and then do a mission with it in a multiplayer server eventually to cap it all off
@@TorniQuetHD that would an absolute blast
Is there a reason you used RWS for the final demonstration against the tomcat, you used TWS against the previous Su 27.
I'm incredibly new to DCS but what I'm understanding about missile combat, and BVR is it TWS is king. Did you just essentially forget to swap to TWS? Or did it just not matter for your demonstration.
Edit: so I'm not a smart man and commented before finishing the video, you noticed your mistake and swapped to TWS. Cheers :)
Hey Tony. What's up man. You haven't been posting for quite few months now. All good?
Question from a newbee…at DCS…. IF you press SET to save the Parameter on RWS for AMR 120C …. It´s saved for ever? …. or only in this Mission with this F18 ? … other way around asking ,.. can I save that in a profile ?…. to use that as default in other missions too?
You have to set the radars up every engine start. It would be great if you could set and forget forever but unfortunately you have to do it every single time
@@TorniQuetHD thank you so much , but maybe it comes in rel. update 2029 😅
