@@gillhewerfamily6550 Correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm FAAAAR from an expert, but best glide speed/aoa is a known value for a given weight right? He's not gonna catch a thermal in a kitty. What was needed at the end was more groundspeed to make it to the road at a given rate of decent, which a tail wind would have helped with would it not?
@@grifnizzle7197 it would have pushed him forward but also would have made the landing gear go through the seat. the rate of decent would increase even faster.
ive never been so tense watching a DCS video! that missile warning at 8:34 had me unable to breathe! was so anxiety filling, watching u guys slowly get down that hill! u guys prolly only beat that missile by a few seconds
I once made a thread on hoggit about me feeling the g's and actually getting a good abs workout from it, people didn't really understand me and took it as a joke most of the time. I was half joking, but actually meant moments like this.
Glad you like them! I'm looking forward to making back seat content for the F-4 Phantom when it comes out too,, so be sure to check back sometime after release.
It's a last resort to get more low speed maneuverability. The flaps will jam in the downward position above a certain speed and flaps deployed means no wing sweep control, so you only do it when you feel you have no other option.
MAAAAAAAN Yall were so close! Disappointing ending to such an intense situation. Now this is why DCS is amazing, the feeling you get after winning an insurmountable fight is hard to beat.
@@Checklist_STT Super smart! I didnt even know you could move waypoints like that after latching them on the TID...I'll have to look up how that is done.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, there's 30+ other videos to go with it in that playlist. I do apologize for not uploading lately, I have been playing other games.
i think the f14 is the most hella noisy fighter jet. i cant understand how the pilot and rio dont get crazy to hear all those alarms all the time :-) f16 and f18 are very more quiet compared to f14
FuuuUUUUUUUUU!!!! Son of a bitch SO CLOSE! That was fucking intense pard, I was blowing on my screen to try to give ya a little tail wind at the end!
Well to be pedantic you want headwind when landing but still I take your point and agreed, very intense.

that was some of the best flying I've ever seen, up until that moment you died.
well, he wasn't flying :)
The moment you got killed. You never, never leave your wingman.
@@kibukaj2956doesn’t mean it wasn’t some of the best flying he’s ever seen :)

Out of all of the moments captured in the 30+ vids in the playlist so far, this one is still by far my favorite by a long shot.
That fellow pilots was EPIC overloaded! well fricking done! . ... purple hearts postimously though

Yeah, Tempest flies in VR and he said when he first started he got such a good ab workout from it. I however am lazy and use TrackIR.
That fight was incredibly epic
The end was heartbreaking 😭
This is hands down some of the coolest flying ive seen! great job guys
Superb flying, and action. Really enjoyed that. Landing into the rise is never a good call though :/
Yeah, should definitely have landed on the road we overflew instead. Ah well, next time I guess =D
@@Checklist_STT There's always a next time. Sometimes.
That was intense all the way through! Fantastic flying!
I was breathing heavy through this just watching! Jesus!
I've seen quite a few DCS vids, and must say, this is probably one of the most tense, and exciting ones I've seen. Bravo
That was some real Top Gun stuff there! Your situational awareness is amazing! Very fun to watch!
I had to watch that twice...! Badass boys!!
Holy smokes Dr. Jones this was like a fucking action movie!
Tempest barber poled that 2nd flanker till he stalled! Nice!
HOOOOOO MYYYY I love this video guys it was awesome /!!!!! to bad you guy were short for the road
This was probably one of the most exciting multi-crew videos to watch! Great job :D
after all that sick combat, the glider segment was kinda relaxing and calm ahahaa
'holy shxt... defeated' ... that was wholesome, nice flying you *almost* made it
I wish we had gotten that last F-16, but back then the AWG-9 was locking strange things.
These RIO videos are great!
Glad you like them! I'm looking forward to making back seat content for the F-4 Phantom when it comes out too,, so be sure to check back sometime after release.
Insane fight
This is one of the best videos I've seen, fuck this was great. Hooting and hollering lmao
This was such an amazing thing to have recorded, i come back occasionally and remember never to quit haha
Did the flaps jam open? That was some pretty damn good dogfighting!
It's a last resort to get more low speed maneuverability. The flaps will jam in the downward position above a certain speed and flaps deployed means no wing sweep control, so you only do it when you feel you have no other option.
The exact reason why I love two seats fighter jets
Admirable, you rode that bird all the way in.
MAAAAAAAN Yall were so close! Disappointing ending to such an intense situation. Now this is why DCS is amazing, the feeling you get after winning an insurmountable fight is hard to beat.
1:39
Holy hell, moving that waypoint near the bandit to give the pilot another visual cue is brilliant. At least, I think that's what you did lol.
You thought correctly, I plot an estimated intercept point so that he can keep oriented to where the bandit will be while flying down low.
@@Checklist_STT Super smart! I didnt even know you could move waypoints like that after latching them on the TID...I'll have to look up how that is done.
This is fantastic
What an engaging fight, good job.
absolutely awesome
That was fairly amazing
That was intense!! Outstanding effort!
Thanks! It was even more pulse pounding first-hand, the fighting seemed so much faster and my hands were shaking.
Very cool guys!
That was amazing
Phew. Heck of a vid.
Best DCS video I have seen I was nervous myself great content
I'm glad you enjoyed it, there's 30+ other videos to go with it in that playlist. I do apologize for not uploading lately, I have been playing other games.
@@Checklist_STT lol thank you I’m watching another one right now lol
It was extremely! I'm sweating=)
I am a fan now
Holy shit I've got so much to learn. I want to be a RIO just like this!
Love to hear it my friend. I have 30+ of these videos, plus a multi-part guide series on the channel that can get you started =D
I fly the 18/16/14 but can't ever find a rio. You can fly with me anytime.
I'm gonna need a new airsick baggie
"do some of that pilot shit" sounds familiar
Good fight! What server was this on?
Growling Sidewinder
Great!, What is that app that you entered waypoint using that?
github.com/rkusa/dcs-scratchpad
Does the RIO Big radar hud is linked to a datalink of the awacs? That'll explain why it seems that it can track ppl that arent directly nose on
It can receive datalink from AWACS.
Riveting.
i think the f14 is the most hella noisy fighter jet. i cant understand how the pilot and rio dont get crazy to hear all those alarms all the time :-) f16 and f18 are very more quiet compared to f14
I forget at times to turn a lot of the alarms down. It's also much quieter if the bleed air is off, but the gun relies on bleed air to operate.
tatakae
Have you done any tutorials for rios? Or just tips or how you do stuff?
czcams.com/play/PLTQg5HGfUdATBXEfcjS80Q8GAYCrJAF8M.html Check out that playlist.
@@Checklist_STT thank you
That was bullshit at the end, y’all had it. Or the enemy put a rock in the way at the last moment, like how when ya hit a rock on skateboards.
Oh man, those little pebbles were the worst.
Do i need a hotas to play the rio
You don't really need a HOTAS per se, but you do need a stick with a two-stage trigger to more easily use the Hand Control Unit (RIO radar stick)
Never got a notification 🙁
Make sure you have the notification bell enabled. Other than that, no idea why it didn't notify. Did you get one for "Dance Night"?
@@Checklist_STT never knew you posted that one either. Oh well. I'll check it out :)
you need a higher bitrate... the quality is terrible
but a very entertaining video
