Gaffer’s DCS F-16C Tutorials


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I put together several tutorials for the DCS F-16C over the last few weeks. I have around a dozen on my YouTube channel covering everything from the the Fly-By-Wire system, SEAD using a variety of weapons against different SAM systems (including the Grumble) and how to get a great approach and landing. 
 

Enjoy!

Hello,

I haven't watched everything yet, but the video of the F-16 landing is very informative. I'll watch the rest of the videos one by one. I am particularly interested in the subject of FBW and Trim. Btw: Are there such videos for the M2k?

I just watched the video about FBW and Trim. Question: If you pull such a high AOA on the F-16C (25 - 30 AOA), shouldn't the wings break at some point? Or the wing mounts? It's the same with the Mi-21 and JF-17. Or is that related to the G-forces? I'm no expert so I'm asking.

Stress on the airframe is tied to G forces, not AOA. I’m not aware of anything for the Mirage. 
 

Thanks for watching

Excellent videos, some really good tips and info. Really like your explanation of TAS vs CAS. Great sound/vid quality too.

I've really enjoyed all the videos that you've done so far. To me they're an excellent middle ground between some of the hour long, super in-depth tutorials out there and the short, bare-bones "this is how you do it". There's a place for all three in DCS training videos.

There's something wholesome about being able to find a new YouTube channel in 2022 - I was subscriber 300 or something. Keep up the good work!

Thank you! Now I just need to find time to record a few more. I've seen some good suggestions in the comments and I have a few ideas of my own.

Thanks for these, Gaffer!  With all the recent changes, I was looking for some tutorials that were "current".  

I am new to the Viper, but not DCS.  Flew the Hornet for years, so coming to the Viper isn't a huge learning curve, but I need some training nonetheless.

Thanks.
