How to?

[BlacleyCole]

So how do you the player start in the rear seat stay in the rear seat the whole flight? I wish to lear the rio duties and have an ai fly the tomcat.

You can’t. To learn the cat, YouTube is your friend, use it liberally. Jabbers, RedKite, Grim Reapers. Also, read the manual.

Tbh I wouldn't trust anything from grim reapers from an educational perspective. Highly recommend the RIO school that one of the CVW-11 guys (I think?) made. It covers a ton of stuff and is a great starting out point for the RIO pit. The redkite video for lantirn is pretty informative as well. Ralfidude has a great down and dirty vid on how to do the Rio pit startup, and all of jabbers videos are great resources.

The AI pilot of the Tomcat can not take-off or land ... so your best bet is to use a mission where your F-14 starts already in the air. This excellent guide may help you with this:

I disagree .. they make learning DCS a fun activity, and many people just starting on DCS like their not-so-serious attitude.

Also digest the Chuck’s guide

In SP you can change seats any time you wish. While in RIO pit the Iceman AI will fly stable flight and you can command him simple stuff like heading, altitude and speed. In MP you cannot change seats.

From what I've seen of their tutorials it looks like they're often learning what they're trying to teach while recording and asking viewers to shout out in the comments if they've screwed something up. Doesn't exactly convey confident teaching.

Yes, they do have a few videos like that, but most don’t. They must be doing something right, as they have 75,000 subscribers. Give a look to their JF-17 series, so at least you can do a proper assessment:

GR isn't the best learning utility, though is entertaining as anything. I laugh my ass off at their vids, especially the carrier landing competitions.
