DCS F/A-18C Hornet Basic Training!

Published 2022-06-23
Most want to just jump right into the Pew Pew stuff, Dogfighting, laser guided weapons and launching AMRAAMs and Sidewinders. But it is extremely beneficial to learn the basics of the Aeronautical environment and understand the mundane tasks of receiving Taxi Clearances, proper radio phraseology, start up, take off, landing as well as navigation between waypoints and TACAN stations.
Having the basics down, makes the Pew-Pew stuff much easier and a lot more fun and rewarding! I do one on one training sessions with anyone who donates $15 or more to support the channel!

Hey guys it can be really hard to master and study the FLIGHT Part of Combat FLIGHT Simulation, but for me that's the best part of DCS! Keep in mind I do training with anyone who donates $15 or more to support the channel!

I’d actually like someone to make this a campaign. Flight training, just like the pilots would get at intermediate and advanced strike training, except in the F/a-18 right away instead of the T-45. Start with the basics of how to setup the aircraft, take off, and land. Then start building on that step by step. Navigation, low level, formation flying, aerial refueling, then getting into the combat aspects. Each mission getting a little harder, bringing everything together.

I am a MSFS 2020 ace. I can fly everything well. So I just downloaded DCS and also the Apache. Folks, I am like a newborn colt walking on shaking legs. I have been properly humbled. Not to mention the Frogfoot and the WWII prop they give you are all keyboard and button binding. No interactive cockpits. I am in over my head. Time to get out the school books and relearn everything

I just managed back-to-back overhead to 3 wire carrier landings, and I am beyond excited. Idk why this video helped me so much, but I am extremely grateful.
-
Great vid, thank you so much! Put about 50 hours into DCS in the past month and these type of videos are so helpful. Easily earned my sub :D
-
Even though I’m not a beginner, I always pick up good tips from your videos. Keep up the great work. Really enjoy your channel!
-
The learning process is both frustrating, and rewarding. I'm still a beginner, yet I've come a long way. Your videos have been instrumental in helping me become competent in the Hornet's various systems.
-
Awesome thing! This is the kind of resource that's super valuable for beginners. Good job!

Hi @Spudknocker I love this training vidéo and like you, I’d equally like to spend the time on the fundamentals of being a good military pilot. I never get more excited than going through the steps and having a deep understanding of; doing an external checks, signing the forms for the aircraft, sitting in the cockpit and going through the complete list of items to check before we even “chocks out”. Keep those videos rolling, I am totally addicted to the initial stages before “kick’n tyres and light’n fires”

Damn I love this. It must be amazing to fly with other people !! I love co-op in general if done realistic even better, I love this. I like how you point to things making it understandable to follow really to anyone and also learn the jargon\technical names a bit.
-
This is amazing for newer players, thanks for the video!
-
Nice clear and concise instructions great to watch..
-
impressive level of clarity. great teaching skills.
-
Your one on one instruction had me feeling like I was back in the military. 👍
-
dude you have such a wholesome cool voice and way to train. love it
-
Thank you both <3 THESE kinda videos are best. Just jumped hornet from about year of fc3 aircrafts. (and some free mods usin em..) Many times answers for annoying little, but important things, are in these kind of beginner training videos. Nice to also see that ppl are thumbling on many same things that I am. But these little "oh yeah, if this and that and those you can use this.." kinda things are more or less gold for me, as a viewer, also!
-
