    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.

    Don't be surprised if your boresight has a fair amount of error or drift. Unless there was an effort made in the mission editor to put a very easy to lock up target far far away at the airfield. You will have errors in what your tpod locks and where your mav is looking. ED went a little overboard on this given all the things we magic wand over in other places but it is what it is

    • @Madnot4
      @Madnot4 Рік тому +10

      @MAYDAY SIMULATIONS It's done in the air, because the mavericks have a battery that only lasts up to an hour (don't quote me on the exact duration, I haven't slept in 24hrs), usually in real life you spend way more time in transit, we are talking hours in the air. So yes, the mavericks are aligned in the air otherwise by the time you got to the target, you got no mavs.

    • @Madnot4

    Maverick boresighting on the current patch seems to be still broken, you can boresight one side but when you MSL Step to the other side it loses its boresight. The drift appears to be random cause you can quickly MSL STEP back and forth and the maverick will point in a different spot each time.

      @pugachevskobra5636 Рік тому +4

      I think that’s the problem, and I’m speaking from experience. Each of the “newer” generation modules require thousands of hours just reading the manual and countless hours have to be spent applying the information you learned in the manual. And even then you’ve probably covered about 75% of the entire module. And then it gets substantially more difficult when you add another full fidelity module when there’s a good chance you haven’t covered all of the info and features of the first one. I made this mistake when I bought the Tomcat, and then followed it with the Viper less than 2-3 months later.
