For many years i completely disregarded the "Grach", both the "A" versioon and the "T", considering them cheap and arcadeish, then i started flying them and i must say that those modules are massively undersold. They are two very nice modules and i actually made two tutorial series on them, i like them that much. If we ever get a full-fidelity version of them i would buy them in a heartbeat, and if Virpil ever makes "Grach" HOTAS i would buy them instantly!
@@bmbpdk I keep meaning to take another look at the T variant, had an amazing 20+ kill run with it once on the Sinai map, including a dogfight with a Harrier but the replay system broke and it demoralised me so much I never used the footage. Gutted about it now, especially since the trackfiles have been broken for months… Don’t have the footage anymore :( Which server do you fly the T model on?
@@Bullet4MyEnemy I have flown no more than a single sortie or two in multiplayer, and that is across a decade of DCS´ing. I exclusively fly singleplayer and flew the campaigns back when they worked and wasn broken beyond recognition. I do like the DCS Liberation mod campaign, that is a very nice mod that i enjoy a lot. Perhaps i should try multiplayer again when ED have released the infamous patch, subject of much discussion, and fixed the servers.
Are you using the HSI as your primary way of navigating or the F10 on these FC3 planes? I love the Frog but wish there was a way of changing a heading cursor or some kind of visual aid on the controls that lets you set a specific heading. I really struggle seeing the numbers with my old eyes.
@@rutrose2000 I mainly use the HSI for BRAA calls to find aircraft, but the map for ground stuff - if you change the markers to the Russian type under special settings then it shows your heading on the map, makes it a lot easier.
Taftanaz will always stick in my mind because I had to divert to it once after having my F-5 shot to pieces and basically ended up losing the jet just because the runway is so piss takingly tiny lol. Basically pretend it’s a carrier, with the chute acting as the trap wire.
You'll have to wait till flares and chaff are models properly along with seekerheads, but when that happens, low fast pop ups are good OR _"eye and shooter*_ /wild weasel tactics if the AI wants to play nice or you have buddies to go with
I really wish I could get into DCS. I have like 4 modules but I can't stand sitting there for hours on end just trying to remember how to start up the plane and bind all the keys.
Just use auto-start, most people do. Then the more familiar you get the easier it’ll be to understand what the switches do and you can learn the start up later. Win + Home
Tbf it’s bloody terrible lol, it’s meant to be a mix of “Uncle Sam” because we’re fighting America, but also IR SAM because quite a few crop up. So IRncle SAM - possible it doesn’t remotely work with certain accents 🤷🏼♂️
Just realised I totally forgot to add timestamps, do you think having them adds to the video or promotes scrubbing/gives spoilers?
they are nice to have but not having them is not a deal breaker at all
Nice ending.
it doesnt matter really. if someone really wants to watch the video fully he wouldn't care.
timestamps way better promotes looking at more interested parts of the video i might skip because of more boring setup times
I personally love them
I’ve dumped loads of time into my full fidelity modules.
I always return to the su-25a
Lmao thought the title said incel SAM hunt for a sec. Nice job in the frogfoot!
This is going to be fun, I know that before even watching it.

Love the frog. My fav next to Mi-24P.

I really love the SU-25a which we could get a proper high fidelity version some day
I would order that thing day 1. The Frogfoot's always been one of my favorites.
Geeeez that was a short runway 😬 squeaky bum moment

How should I play this jet on BlueFlag 80s? There are smokeless SAMs where usually ignore my flare spam and I have to keep guiding inn the missiles?
I just wouldn’t lol

@@Bullet4MyEnemy ah okay xD
@@franciscohughes1757 so I guess what Bullet already said is the best advice...

takes like 2 hours to go through the su25a tutorial then you know how to use it forever
Song from the last part of the video?
@@joshuapurdy7065
It’s somewhere in the description, CZcams auto fills the section for it - I can’t remember off the top of my head
Found it thanks
Iran cel sam hunting
I don't understand the pun in the title 😔

@@Bullet4MyEnemy ohhhh i tought it was uncle but didn't get the joke. It's a really clever one tho
Poor power line
Z-ship? xd
Didn’t realise it could be read like that until now 😬
