    Hey pilots! Tricker here and I want to welcome you to my channel on combat aviation. I’m a real world pilot in the Airbus 319/320/321 series and I enjoy DCS World, Falcon BMS, Falcon 4.0, IL-2 Sturmovik, X-plane 11, and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.
    If you want to fly WWII aircraft over Normandy and the English Channel, then DCS World WWII is for you and they have plenty of aircraft to choose from such as the BF-109, FW-190, Spitfire, P-47 Thunderbolt, and P-51 Mustang. If you enjoy modern aerial combat then you want to focus more on DCS World products such as the F-16, A-10C Warthog, AH-64D Apache, F-15, F-14, JF-17, SU-27, Mirage, Mig-29, F-18 Hornet, Mi-8, Mi-24 Hind, Uh-1 Huey, Ka-50, F-5, Mig-21, AV-8b Harrier, and the F-4 Phantom. Some of the mods that are out there for DCS World are the F-22 Raptor, SU-57, A-4 Skyhawk, Rafale, and Gripen.
    I enjoy other games such as Total War, Battlefield, War Thunder, Escape from Tarkov, as well as Squad.

    Don’t forget to remove blink from HUD in menu and set distance to 100nm. Then don’t forget to setup program 1 and 5 on dispensers so you aren’t wasting chat and flares. I use program 1 for 1 flare x10 every .50 interval and program 5 as 1 chaff x5 at .50 interval. You’re welcome. Also reason you remove blink is you can lock targets with HMD through the floor or body of your airplane ;)

    Hey Tricker, you might want to clarify that when turning on datalink, the first push of the button only brings up Link 4 and a second push of the DL button is needed to bring up Link 16 and subsequently turn it on.
    Someone might inadvertently turn on only Link 4 and they’re left without situational awareness.

    Hi, thank you so much for this vid; I’m currently playing Infinite Flight with an F/A-18 and was wondering if this could help and it did. Thnaks

    New to DCS, can’t figure out camera controls without number keys, how do you remove chocks? Or get a better camera for the matter?

    Only nitpick is you need to press D/L twice to get to Link 16, the first time you press it, it's Link 4 for ACLS.

    I don't have a HOTAS or TrackIR, but man it's been some time since I played DCS that I forgot so many things when starting up the F/A-18C. Headache incoming.

    A faster way to start up the actual engines: Right after the battery, switch on the APU and engine crank. I usually enable the throttle anywhere between 0-18%. When the throttle RPM gets to 34%, you can switch the engine crank for the other engine and they both will start.
