Great tutorial! This video would knock the socks off a potato.
Thanks Enigma. Look forward to seeing it on your server!
To think the pilots back then had to manage that radar, while "navigating and aviating" is mind-blowing. Love it !
Try adding maths for your radar scan altitudes as you work the intercept!
And holding a folded paper map in your left hand
@@zanderlabuschagne2368 And using the stopwatch!
And finish it off with a TACAN point-to-point
And they had to walk in the snow uphill both ways!
Top work as always bud
Pretty solid module from the guys at Aerges
Thanks Hellreign! Not seen you round much lately. hope we'll see you flying it sometime in a new video? Miss yours and the subtitle's adventures :)
Excellent tutorial, thank you, very much obliged for it .
In 2001, the University of Stellenbosch (my alma mater) received in gift an F-1CZ, and I both got to sit in its cockpit, as well as seeing the Cyrano outside of the nose cone - for a 1970's radar it was a very sophisticated beast. Looking forward to mastering it.
Oh that sounds awesome, always great to get to sit in a cockpit. totally different experience from sterile pictures or video!
@@RedKiteRender Except the parachutes, which make up the seat cushions, had been removed at the time. Ouch !
We seem to be crossing paths on DCS F1 videos, but where'd they park the F1 at Maties? I was there, but *cough giving away my age* before 2001. I'd imagine it's not open to anybody.....I got to sit in one at AFB Swartkops during a demo. It's a tight fit! I don't think the canopy could have closed fully on my head, think I'm a bit tall for it. Wish I had a photo!
@@Shrike200 F-1CZ No. 207 was sent to the Engineering Department in 2001. I saw it get towed in. Commandant Dick Lord came to Stellenbosch in 2001 to promote his book 'Vlamgat' - after his lecture, we traipsed down to the Aeronautic Hall in the campus-facing block, wandered around the F-1, and then each got a chance to sit in it after we asked nicely. Commandant Lord advised that max pilot height was 6'4", and I am 6'2" - the secret is that the seat can move a full foot up and down for height - I also got to play and feel everything, an experience I treasure.
redkite with the quality content. aaasssss alllwaayysss
Now this is the video we've been waiting for ! Thanks for all the work you put In Redkite!
Another great tutorial.
And yes, it would be a cold war era bird without seemingly random switch locations, unclear or ambiguous symbology, modes and weapon switching that was clearly shoehorned in as it was developing, and random lights and gauges scattered in every direction. Great!
This was a great concise video, a lot better than the one from that weird guy who hits Starch vegetables for some reason.
Great video, Redkite! Clear, structured and very well presented! Top notch!
Actually a low notch would be more effective against this radar
Oh no, we're not doing notching puns are we? Haha
@@RedKiteRender you will never see it coming
Superb video as ever, chap! Love how your tutorials have evolved, the graphic overlays and "moving diagrams" are the best yet -- commercial-grade! Keep doing your great work.
I love you ❤️
Welcome to Walmart (or is it Costco) I love you... 😂 name the movie..
@@theegg-viator4707”idiocracy Aka a look into the future” I think that’s the name.
@@tabernaclejones6115 😁🤘🏻
Felt like such a long wait but this was an excellent tutorial 👍 I've watched it twice already
Hurry up and start with the A6 tutorials!
Oh i would absolutely love to! Just get me a time machine.
F1 is the best. 👌
Holy ergonomics Mirage. Did the engineering teams just not talk to each other? It's like they looked at a Mig-21 cockpit and asked themselves, "can I make this more confusing?".
Yet another great video! Good to see the ways that the glare shield can be enabled or disabled.
Yep, really handy, so much better for those without trackir / vr to move their head to the shield.
Very well explained. Better than the official manual. Thanks for another excellent tutorial.
No problem! The Aerges manual is a little technical and certainly not a user's guide to operating, so was a little tricky to understand some of the finer points.
This is really well presented. Great work.
Thank you for the work put into this excellent video. Clear and well explained.
Excellent video! Thanks RedKite!
"no IFF"
**intense multiplayer sweating**
I played it at 75% speed and it was brilliant, thanks!
Brilliant, as always!
Bring it on!
Top quality explanation, as always 👌
Great vid 😀 . I love Cold War stuff. I’d be tempted into online if it wasn’t so dominated by phoenix and spamrams. It’s like the sparrow never existed from what I hear.
Terrific tutorial mate.
Thx for those vids RedKite!
The best tutorials as always.
Ah, a good radar tutorial! Thank you
You're welcome!
Excellent work, thank you!!
Great tutorial, thanks!
sounds like it's gonna be a challenge!
Amazing video
IT'S HERE
I don't bother with all the other tutorials. I don't need history lessons or scenario setups...Just get into it immediately. RK, you're tutorials are my go to. Thank you for showing us only what matters
Don't spit on Spud way of making videos, for those aircrafts who fought on many wars a bit of history lesson is mandatory
Bad news Gentlepeoples! The Mirage F1ce Was due to release today (20th) But it's sadly been delayed, as the next DCS Open beta patch has been pushed back to the 21st:
forum.dcs.world/topic/233848-patch-status/
Well, that's a shame. But I know the perfect UA-cam playlist to get me through the day
ottimo lavoro, grazie !
fun fact: Ace Combat 04's lock on tone for the standard missiles is based on the missile lock on tone at 10:11
Tomorrows the day boys
Actually the radar does gives the altitude of the scanning by the use of the dénivelé mode, in which instead of E you will have a D in the radar scope box and adding increments will set an altitude for the scan and vise versa. D + 01 equals the scan is being done 1000ft above your line of sight.
Whilst true, it's not quite that simple either. At any rate the radar elevation modes are not working 100% as intended yet either, so they'll be covered in the 'advanced' radar tutorial some point later!
@@RedKiteRender the elliptical scanning mode is also missing, but they will add it eventually!
Thanks ! :)
Great video, as always RedKite!!
very nice video, in the vid you said you would do a video about the elevation of the radar because ive tried few time to get echos from target at different altitude and i never managed to get thoses echos even tho ive done the math calculation with the difference of altiitude and distance to know the exact angle i should aim for in order to have echos but, never managed to get any echos at different altitudes.. any ideas ?
I just watch by curiosity and was stun by the quality of the video's montage, hope you will do the same for the futur F-15E. one sub more
awesome.
Now that’s a tutorial!
Great presentation. I'm starting to be amazed by all the people taking on tutorial videos. As a layman I need a few reps from slightly different angles and I dare say the community provides.
It's a difficult and easily overwhelming hobby to get into. We all remember the struggle to become competent. I want to pay that back to the community for helping me in the past.
@@RedKiteRender Excellent content as always.
Hi Redkite, which Action i need to map to control the radar cursor? thanks
Really enjoying your content. Sub'd.
APC continuous is not in the list of controls in 3:06. What binding does that go to ?
Nice tutorial, this add on wants to make me get dcs and the mirage f1 module, but I think it will be overwhelming ? Been only flying civil aircraft on msfs and xplane 11
There's not much in DCS that isn't a little overwhelming, but, the Mirage F1 is, honestly, a good starting point for getting in, its got enough capabilities that you can do a little bit of everything on MP, its a joy to fly, and its not overly complex (as someone who flies the Viggen, A-10, Hind, and Apache frequently) as a full fidelity module.
Nah its not overwhelming. These cold War planes are quite intuitive, once you learn where the buttons are.
Great tutorial, I have just scored some air victories with F1 too. But I have two questions:
1. Radar scale key bindings switch only between max and min range. You need to use a mouse to switch between all radar ranges. Do you have this issue too?
2. Is it possible to slave an IR missile seeker to a radar-locked target?
1. is a bug should be fixed next patch
2. i dont know, i think it should be possible. But it's not implemented.
Good Catch!
@@RedKiteRender Great to hear!
Just bought it, but it needs to be installed in a open beta DCS setup. Bummer, I have only the release version and don't want to change that. Any idea if it will compatible with the release version of DCS at some point ?
I love the radar noise; it makes it actually seem like an older, pre-computer, un-filtered set. I am curious, though: is the noise on the radar just randomly determined, or is it actually dynamically generated by the terrain/weather/atmospheric conditions in-game?
I'm curious about this too. I have the module so i'll take a look from now one if it changes or maybe it's j ust random.
On the moment it seems to be pregenerated. I do hope that in the future Aerges manages to find time to make it more dynamic and more confusing to find the target depending their RCS that is received.
On your radar example at 5:20 i see returns on sweep 1 and 4... Or am i misunderstanding?
The radar noise, as in the individual dots are so much larger and more sparse on my screen, it makes it really hard to see the returns.
I wonder if they changed that in an update or if it's something to do with my graphics settings.
Does the radar lock lever have to be held down during the duration of the engagement, or can it be released after lock is achieved?
Release after lock's achieved.
Does the missile altitude difference switch work yet?
Mine is not automatically locking after selecting the telemeter switch. I see the radar is in the right position but nothing locks when I get behind the plane
Does the Libyan Air Force green flag and roundel exist? Or only the new libyan flag?
whats the specific key do you use to fire a missile?
can we move radar cursor without an axes ?
I feel like you just fired a fire hose at me, I'm more confused now then I was before I watched this. Do I need to get another joystick just to use the radar in this plane? How have you guys assigned your controls?
I just bind them to my throttle, with the stick controls on the mini-stick. I've been thinking of doing a familiarisation and controls video some point soon.
One thing I dont understand... if the 530 is a fox1, what is its seekerhead picking up when the two yellow circles appear?
It is seeing the radar waves reflected off the target
IMHO there is slight mistake in the order.
10:33 about the Magic and Matra 530F missiles switch is by default in hot-start a Magic one, so in 06:10 moment with M.G.FUS and M.D buttons you select Magic missile first, and not the 530. So using radar to lock a target is only to get intercept guidance, but you are trying to get a Magic missile lock on heat target. So 09:24 position is mode you are in the begin, like 10:03 is indicating.
I as well found that Aerges has not yet animated all the throttle or stick buttons and corresponding covers. This makes it difficult to see by pressing bindings that what position they really are pressing. As IMHO those animations are one of the most important ones, as it makes easy to see you have set your bindings correctly.
I skipped first time that "Bomb/Missile/Recorder" etc trigger, as it sounded so much about "start recording the video with those". And wondered why couldn't release weapons.
One thing that I always would like to see in the manuals etc, is to get a real controller shown, and then what each of their switches, buttons and hats does in DCS terms. So I can bind the realistic functions to proper positions.
"Radar elevation is a topic for a more in depth video" god is it ever. I haven't been able to reliably track targets with an altitude difference outside what 4-bar can detect normally since I started flying the thing, so I hope that video comes sooner rather than later. I think I understand how it's supposed to work, but in practice it doesn't work for me at all.
Since you didn't show it here the short pulse mode won't be in the first release I guess?
You can select it, but it's not functional. E and D modes for elevation both work, but otherwise everything i showed in this video is your lot at EA release.
There is no iff for the radar or its just not ready???
No iff interrogator, as mentioned in the video. It does have a transponder, and so will answer if you're interrogated.
Whats the keybind to raise the radar lock bar up and down?
Radar control stick range/velocity control -increase/decrease
@@RedKiteRender Thanks!
Why are there so little training missions.. not that big of a deal but why isn't anybody doing it like razbam, they know how to make training missions for there modules.
(post release) I can only get my radar to show HA mode?
Ah, it's the lack of stepping options in controls. Works w mouseclicks only
Awesome video! Can you pre--select sidewinders and magics along with the 530s to pre-cool them before an engagement? Or does selecting the 530s deselect the wingtip magic/sidewinders?
Otherwise if you went into the close combat button mode you would have to wait 20 seconds for them to cool, correct? (Unless you did an air start where they are pre-cooled)
At the moment they cool in the background and are ready to go right away.
The magics/sidewinders are cooled with a separate button so that they will be ready regardless of which you switch to them. It's switch #6 on page 71 of the Aerges manual
@@eatleadcobra Yep, briefly showed that switch at end of the segment.
@@RedKiteRender Ahh i thought that they were like the IR 530s and you had to select the station to pre-cool them.
This is based
So you cannot shoot the ir matra without radar lock?
IR matra 530 doesn't need a radar lock, it's functionally the same as using a magic/sidewinder.
I can't see triangles, what button I must push for that
You need to select your weapons either via the quick select on the throttle as shown in the video, or from the armament panel,
when is this heap gonna be released for us to mess with?
In about oh, 6-8 hours?
@@RedKiteRender 😬bad news
@@S3NTRY Aww man, delayed to tomorrow :(
forum.dcs.world/topic/233848-patch-status/
@@RedKiteRender yah. Oh well! They came the closest to an on-time release yet!
@@S3NTRY Not even their fault. ED patch got delayed.
Whos stronger.f18 or mirage
Th F/A-18c is significantly more modern, and thus much 'stronger' The F1 is a very competent cold war era jet however.
Splashing a Fitter in the first 10 seconds of the video? You aren't teasing anything are you!?
Like ED constantly killing Tornados in their trailers for over 2 years while totally denying it's coming?
Poor Tonkas :(
First
This one neither.
mirage f1 really doesnt have an IFF?
Yep, no interrogator, only a transponder. Relies on external sources and VID. I think the newer models Aerges will make later, include one.
The initial CE version does not, AFAIK the EE and F-1M versions will have IFF.
@@kilianortmann9979 nice
Would've really helped if you highlighted which button bind correspond to all the radar cursor stuff
I'm still confused about the magic or sidewinder switch on the armament control panel. In which situation should it be set to M or A?
Is it M for Magic and A for sidewinder?
yup
