Thanks mate! If you play through Steam add me as jaznit and i'll make sure I see you around :)

Thanks! I've seen this video a while back early on in my learning, but it's funny how you watch it again and once you have a few flight hours in you start to pickup more again

Firstly, thank you for replying... alot of good reading but also a few followups. - I don't use my rudder that much, so it's probably a mixture of both. - I do use my AB too much... leaving me low on fuel. You mentioned in your comment about low altitude - is there a rule of thumb about when AB are best used ? such as at a certain altitude etc? I don't set the TDC well enough which is why I am missing the enemy. i'll fix that one :) I generally only use the LRS mode for the radar. I'll give the AACQ mode a go next time i'm in closer range. Well that's interesting. I thought that the ECM played a greater role in a dog fight.. i'll stop using that one then Yeah well that's just being technical now :) I was flicking between you tube and the forum and rushing... but yes they were 298 for 45 at 7000, cold :) I might be missing something else here, am I meant to be switching between modes or is this just how the radar behaves? Yes and Yes. Thanks again dude, very insightful as I'm loving the game and about to buy the X55 Rhino HOTAS rather than the Logitech 3d pro O have now - so the games about to be more fun shortly

Hi all, I'm new to DCS and starting out by learning the F15c before moving on to most likely the A10c. I'm about 37 hours in but alot of the early hours was just flying around before starting to really try learning. I am now spending time learning bit by bit and then focusing on how to use it during a real scenario. I have some questions and hoping someone might be able to help me? Disclaimer... As I'm trying to learn I'm just flying and trying to get a better handle on the radar, flying using AWACS on and not using the radar as much, using the ECM jammer, etc etc. Question 1 I find a few times the enemy doesn't come up in my radar in LRS mode. You can see in the below clip at the 17:43 mark my AWACS confirms that the enemy is heading 325, 14 miles out and altitude of 7000 - so he should be right in front of me and within radar range but it's not being picked up on the LRS. LRS is set to 40 and height range is ok but still not picking it up. Later around 18:38 I turn off the radar, and then when I turn it back on it comes right in front of me. [ame= ] [/ame] Sorry for the flick to google to check AWACS as I'd forgotten some of the detail. Question 2 When do you use the ECM in a dog fight? Is there an optimal range from your enemy to activate this? I have been using it around 20miles out, but not sure on what's the best to do? Or is it only to be used once the enemy has fired a missile? Question 3 Troubles finding a target and locking on within LRS mode of the Radar From the below clip I have called out a few things I found (I'm using a trial version so excuse the water mark) - 7:13 Enemy is 298, 45, for 7000 but I can't see him and only see what looks to be someone using an ECM, at this point he should be in front of me - 8:05 was able to see but couldn't lock on, so had to turn off and turn it back on - 8:33 was finally able to lock on and then fire [ame= ] [/ame] Hope someone can share what you know or have learnt, or any other tips that will help me.
