    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.

    Great Tutorial! I have another tip. The radar has a tracking mode for ground moving targets. If you put the tdc over the small box and then press Sensor select switch right again, the radar will track the target and you can slew the TGP exactly to the tracked vehicle. Very useful for using LMAVs, but beware, if you fly over the target - which is necessary for LGBs - the radar will lost the track. So after getting the the track, put the TGP into automatic mode with the same method as in the video and you are good to bomb it 🙂

    Great DCS F18 video, Ill probably have to watch it three times to grasp everything. So much better than the in game tutorials. Would have loved some more information on the radar usage. That I havent really seen a good video on. How to find the targets, see the bricks etc. Nice that someone is doing these videos of this high a quality and they are pretty recent. I thought the target coming unlocked and how to react to it was actually QUITE perfect. Things dont go as planned a lot of times. That helped a ton. Dont freak out.. just reacquire it.
    Very nice.

    hi Tricker, i got a issues, when i use tgp lock on target, i switch mode in RMDI my HUD did not change, for example before lock a target my GBU-12 bomb mode is auto, after my target destroyed i change gbu-24 clar-sl mode, but my HUD still auto, i must unlock and lock again a new target. therefore i must move TGP to a target again, is this a bug or anyway easier to attack new target?

    • @TrickerDCS
      @TrickerDCS  Рік тому +1

      Usually the way I switch to a new target is sensor select switch in the direction of your TGP (right in my case) to go back to scene mode if you were in auto. Find a new target, sensor select right to go back into auto mode. Always rearm your laser after. Does this help or are you having issues with different bomb types?

      @Insignia_ 7 місяців тому

      ​@@keithbriscoe99 For me the best way to ID targets with the TGP is to use SCS: Fwd so after pressing TDC: Depress the TGP will automatically lock whatever you looking at with the helmet. So I use that to get the general area where the targets are (the outskirts of a city perhaps) and then manually slew around with the TGP till I find something. Playing with the WIDE/NARROW field of view and variable zoom levels is super important too.

    • @cameronwebster6866
      @cameronwebster6866 Рік тому

      The codes tell the bombs (or missiles) which laser spot to seek towards. If you and your wingman are using different codes, you both can simultaneously attack targets that are right next to eachother, but if you are using the same code, you have to make sure that the bombs can only see one spot at a time.
