I was very surprised at how quickly you soaked up all the knowledge and managed to really click with the content. I'm a VERY proud virtual Senpai and it was great teaching an eager student like you.
Plez teach meh, sempai! 😂🤣 jk
...plez?
Not to take anything away from his learnings, because he has managed to pick up the game far quicker than any of the friends I've helped - but I assume that his prior experience with the VTOL VR game helped. Although not at the same level of complexity, it should still give some kind of framework and basic knowledge in many fields. A framework which you could then build on and help expand with your experience.
ralfidude can you make a ground school video like you did in discord with paint i would love to watch it if you have the time.
Is this a sign? I only just subscribed to you and then this shit happens.
YES! Two of my favorite streamers playing my favorite sim together!
I thought carrier landings were the hardest part, but then I had to learn aerial refueling.
Carrier landings are easy,you just need to know where you have to look at and when
0mg1tsbatman aerial refueling with f/a-18c is easy af
@@oppotato5440 Easier than in a harrier for sure but remember when it was YOUR first time, how long did it take for ya to "stick it in"?
T B6 prob about 30min to 1hr my new friend did it like 2nd try and hes using xbox controller i still cant land on carrier very easily plus i dont fly the hornet any more i fly F-16C A-10C and F-15C but i havent flown the f15 very recently
If you really want to completely have a realistic carrier landing A2AR is prob way easier.
Hi Drewski and thanks for the support. Several of the DCS aircraft do have Oculus Touch interaction with the cockpit including stick, throttles, buttons, switches, dials, etc. This includes the free TF-51D. Thanks
Ooh thanks for that info! :)
If you’re a dev, DCS is a beautiful sim. Can’t wait to show my viewers more!
Hah yea. "Wags" is not only a dev. He's THE community Manger and for me in person the voice of dcs too. He's doing a hell of a job to stay in touch with the players via the forum and other social media. And I imagine it's not allways easy to stay as polite as he does with the.... Let's say temperamental kind of people amongst the DCS community.
@@OperatorDrewski, You can be my wingman anytime ;)
@@florianb.553. Actually, senior producer. We have a couple of other guys that are our community managers. I just like to poke my nose in from time to time. Thanks
Matt Wagner “from time to time” lol. You’ve done every video I’ve ever watched that comes from ED (other than the trailers)
Drewski: I wanted to spend three weeks learning a plane.
Also Drewski: The start up sequence is boring so I skip it completely.
Skipping the startup is a sin. Even when you are new autostart is the biggest mistake one can make, SO CASUAL.
lol im from canada, the start up for me is the best part, now i know what theyre doig when i hear the growl of the amads comig to life
Drew: "the little circle with three prong thing"
you are so cute
In the military: a velocity vector, in civilian: flight path symbol. In case anybody wondered!
@@D00kerT No one calls it a velocity indicator, idk where that term for that came from but it's just wrong. Everywhere it's just called a 'flight path marker'. We like to call it 'fat bob' cuz it looks like a fat man with little arms sticking out the side.
E brakets alwais E brakets
Putting the thing on the thing
KSP players: prograde vector
"Just an AI" dude the AI in DCS is no joke lol
DCS AI are interesting. On the one hand, in terms of tactics they are total boobs with the intelligence of a calculator. In a plane that sticks out its chest and smashes people (Eagle, Tomcat, etc) it's not tooo hard to pin them against the ropes and make them an offer they can't refuse. But if you're in a plane that relies heavily on stealth and deception (Mirage, Flanker, etc) then you quickly discover that the AI have Godlike omniscience. Hiding behind a mountain? They see you. Firing a silent heatseeker into their blind spot? They react instantly.
I like to think I'm pretty good in the Mirage. Online I can deceive F-14 pilots all day. I play them like the Raptors in Jurassic Park (you're looking forward, but the attack comes from the side). Against the AI that kind of crap doesn't work. He will see you, and Just. Keep. Coming. Very different experience.

Anyone here from like 10 minutes ago when i accidentally published this without a title because the new youtube studio sucks butt?
Here
yesyes
Yep
You made my day when i saw your Thumbnail😉, i clicked immediately onto, but it was already Privat😔
Me lol
Drewski sending me the coordinates for my house as he drops a GBU
hahahaha
So he is sending YOU, YOUR coordinates for HES jdam? I get the joke but u wanna refraze that
@@albert8634 thats actually better xD or from long range a JSOW
@@albert8634 or LS-6
@@schweizerluchs7146 my point was how he frazed the joke
9:08 "you're testing all of the oxygen and the warning systems." Then there's me who just fires up the engines as quick as possible and forgets to even arm the ejection seat 80% of the time.
Laughs in WIN+Home
As someone who has worked on Hornets on the ground it is physically impossible for me to arm the seat, even in the game
Lol
Oh I see I didnt get a wingman invite lol
Oh you
That comment sunk deep
lol
@@ralfidude LOL
Alright, Drewski, why don't you try Train Simulator 2020?
Simulator simulator
Farm simulator 2020 as well
it sucks
The real challenge has been presented.
Game runs like trash, more like low FPS and crash simulator.
That first AI kill you get in DCS is so satisfying. It's like a graduation ceremony, you put hours of work into learning to get to that point.
Me: Cool, never thought he'd play this.
Drew: "This is like a game that you never thought I would play right?"
You got that one right, ralfidude is indeed an excellent pilot!
Glad to see more people joining the DCS community!
lol the funniest thing is the guy that plagiarized you also went through the ringer on forums because he claimed to be an L39 pilot when he's never flown it haha
Ryan Lynch spudknocker?
This is true teamwork.
this guy is a total nut job
Haha I went for a flight in one, it was bloody amazing
Drewski: The biggest video game map ever made.
Microsoft Flight Sim Devs: *hold my beer*
Indeed.
KSP 2 Devs: Hold my beer.
Elite Dangerous be like
So we have now 4 Variants. Hand Crafted (kinda its not to detailed) Half a Country, Handplaced auto made planets in a solar system, Completly automade whole galaxy and mix of hand crafted and automade whole earth with satelite images which are at least somehow detailed.
Skyrim: Member me?
PS I'm still $40-60
Holy crap today I was studying for finals with Top Gun on in the background and I thought “when will Drewski do a DCS video” and then I check UA-cam and here it is!
This actually made me smile big, and even tear up a couple of times. I love DCS, and I understand that proud feeling when you learn and understand something.
I've seen a couple of your videos in the past, but this deserved a sub.
And thanks to ralfi for being such a cool dude(like always, but yea).
This is the game that the USAF sits you through for 96 hours when you’re new

THIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSS is the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet, and it is one of the most versatile multirole combat jet currently on market, and now I will show you whyyyyyyyyyyyy. Then I will do a few sorties, and then I will give it a DrewScore™
Heck yeah, dcs is my favorite game and it is so fun seeing more and more people getting to know this amazing sim
Thanks for taking time to appreciate/explain the science of flight. Flight is very simplistic, but gets exponentially more complex with every added variable; like flying at night, flying in wind, IFR, coordinated turns, stalls, communication etc.. I love hearing different perspectives of aviation! Great video! 👌🏾
The UA-cam drama stuff and the flying starts around the 6:00 your welcome.
Drewski playing DCS! Never clicked so fast XD
Been binging DCS recently so this was awesome to see!
DCS is one of the most underated milsim style games available. That first kill is a feeling you don't get in most games nowadays. Also Ralfidude is the god of DCS. Def keep up the uploads. Solid work.
The effort you put into your videos is unbelievable. I tend to scroll through videos to watch the highlights, but I just don't want to miss anything you put out.
I've been watching training videos after training videos for weeks with great concentration and fun as I apply the knowledge in the air! The game is great! Grim Reapers are a group of guys that are a blast to fly with and have wonderful training videos as well. Drew this is the best not so intended buyers review of the game as well! Thanks!
This is the best youtube vid I've seen in a while : D , you did amazing for your first take, you really have to keep playing DCS dude
This was an absolute joy to watch. I have pretty much just started DCS and bought the F18 and F16 on sale yesterday not knowing what I’m putting myself through haha. But obviously it’s possible to learn it in small steps on a long path. Loved to watch your experience with this. 👍🏼
I have done it, my sleep schedule's bad enough i've scynced with the Americans
brother
There desperately needs more dcs youtubers. It's a amazing game once you've taken the time to learn it with friends. It's frustrating and a grind to learn but always worth it if you put the time in
"This is probably the biggest video game map in existence" Fs2020 Hold my globe.
microsoft sim x and x-plane 11 both also have the entire world, but that's basically google maps+ some 3d and modeled airports/cities, fs2020 is about to take it a step-up ;)
@@mataskart9894 Yeah fs2020 will be exact and its scary how they managed to do that and amazing
mr. worldwide
I JUST found out about this game and thought it would fit right in your wheel house. Super glad you picked it up and look forward to more DCS content from you.
It has been really cool to see your editing skills evolve and you picking up new tricks. Really liked the video. Keep up the solid work.
Ralfi -- unlike "Pudknocker" is a true G of the community. Lucky you.
Tamburello_1994 Spudnocker makes good content. I’m not saying his plagiarism isn’t a bad thing. But you can’t just blanket-statement say that his entire channel is bad and Drewski is good just because of this incident. They are both good.
I haven't watched him, but if he hasn't stole the entire script I feel like he could grow into a decent UA-cam. Idunno tho
@@maerus5227
Not just the plagiarism. Perhaps it was spuds offering flight time for money while posing as a real pilot that he was exposed of earlier this year. Fool me once.....
Its not about dude's channel -- its about dude himself, with all due respect.
Hey Drewski, it’s nice that you’re trying DCS, it’s such a great game!
I just started with DCS last week and am very hooked. I wish I would have a teacher or could find one. For now, I am learning from videos here. But I understand your experience. The first time I managed to land my F18 I was so proud of myself. Not for the fact that I got the plane down but that I stuck through the hardships and learning until the first time the plane did not crash. Seeing your progress gives me hope but I still have a lot to learn. Thank you so much for sharing!
Cool history man!! Great to see how you are enjoying and learning more from videogames!! Thakns for sharing again your experiences and put on them some value for us.
Holy shit ralfi and drewski in one video! I think I'm going to faint! Christmas did indeed come early.
THE CROSSOVER NOBODY EXPECTED BUT WANTED THE ENTIRE TIME OMG YES
I recently discovered your YT channel and i really enjoy the content you create. And after watching this video it makes me smile how you explain the joy of videogaming. Keep up the good work!
This makes me so happy! I have about 1000 to 2000 hours spread across about 7 aircraft and I love seeing people getting Into the game!
would absolutely LOVE to see you and your mates try an actual mission/operation in this game :)
Bros jaw is gonna drop if he realizes how big no man’s sky map is
As someone who’s just popped their cherry on DCS with the F18, this is helpful and reassuring! Loved it loads, thanks!
just got a hotas for DCS, and watching you take off for that first time gave me goosebumps, I cannot wait for that first feeling of leaving the ground
this makes me really want to get into DCS
Vulture I got the f-16. It’s really worth it if you can
@@happydogmachine yh I think it helps if you have a community to get into the game with. Don't know how iv avoided this game so far as I am a complete av-geek and I have seen all the Jets in the game at airshows being put through their paces 😂
Vulture I only have 1 other person that I play with. And he’s barely ever on. So most of the time I’m alone. It’s still really run solo
@@vulture6302 Did you ever get into DCS???
@@horashio1593 nope, still love watching it though
Okay, this is epic. Glad you finally got into this game.
been watching ralfidude for a couple of years now. he's the bomb. went back and watched most of his vids. he's that entertaining. congrats on getting to fly DCS
Great content! I’m a pilot and take a lot of my knowledge for granted and this video is a great intro for people looking to get into DCS
I played this at my friends house with VR and I naturally landed on the carrier. I was so proud, the motion sickness was pretty real lmao.
Dcs is fun. Glad you’re enjoying it. It’s good in VR too. Now try doing Case II and III carrier landings.
A really pleasant video, I enjoy your style. There hasn't been a video that has captured me like yours do in a long time.
Glad you had fun with one of my favorite game, I would like to see more gameplay in the future.
"circle 3 pronged thing..." haha omg. velocity vector is the name of that. Shows you the path your aircraft is taking through air
I'm 10 days into DCS with the F/A-18 and P-51D. Last night spent a few hours trying to follow 5 other pilots doing close, slow, low altitude formation flying. Obviously they've been doing this awhile. Something to aspire to.
Yaaaasss!!! I was just thinking recently about how you asked a while ago what other games would we like to see you playing and making videos of. And I was thinking of commenting on one of your videos now to say do DCS videos, since I forgot to when you made that post! It's all coming together! :D
This video was so awesome more of this please :-) You keep doing what you do Drewskie but I hope we get more of this because this is incredible
Ah now it makes sense that ralfie said in one of his last streams he has someone in training atm and that we will see soon enough (or something like that).
Holy shit its Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz!
In my opinion one of your best videos. I was able to almost feel the excitement and emotion of embarking in a huge new adventure as you were telling your story. I believe I first landed in one of your airsoft related videos a long time ago and then discovered that you also played that freaking amazing sim that I wanted to get into some day, DCS. I've watched a lot of your DCS videos always enjoying them but also feeling a bit jealous. Now that I have finally made the decision to start playing and made the economic commitment I was just looking for beginner videos and wow, there is one from Drewski!
Congrats man, a really good story beautifully told. I just hope I have a good experience with the game as you have had :)
PS: Just so you know, I'll have a Virpil base, stick and throttle because of you! Just waiting for the back order...
Would love to see more DCS. Glad you enjoyed it.
Aaaaahh.. seeing my f15 radar tool here makes me proud :')
So I would have been like, "Here, this is the Chuck's guide. Enjoy."
Brilliant video, hope you enjoy the flight sim world a bit more often. DCS is to say the least a very "study-level" combat pilot simulation, you will meet people like Ralfi wherever you go! Looking forward to more of this style videos in the future.
just as i was wondering when my boi would make a video on dcs ! Love it !
After watching the whole video I want to play this game so badly
It's free (1 map, one trainer, and one ground attack). Do it.
Hit me up if you ever need some help. I'm always willing to help some new people get past that initial learning curve.
I would genuinely love to watch that 2 hour one on one tutorial that covers the basics
I can't get enough from this kind if videos especially the f14 one he just make it perfect some how
I glad you had fun. Its a great game once you learn it. It becomes addictive after a while
Yessss! Come fly with us at the 162nd. I’d love to fly with my favorite mil sim content creator.
Love the video, glad you’ve gotten to experience DCS as the freedom delivery simulator that it is. You need the F14 Tomcat though. It’s made out of testosterone & bald eagles and soaks seats everywhere it goes.
Do the wings still snap off when you hit wake turbulence from a kite? Serious question
@@jeepaholic326 It has improved a LOT since then. No more 8G airframe failures. Unless you fly it like an absolute orangutan, you'll black out as the pilot long before you rip the wings off these days. Most of my deaths in the Tomcat are a result of unconscious impact with terrain.
Drew ski: “I would argue that this is probably the biggest map I’ve ever seen”
Minecraft: Exists
Star citizen: Doesn't exist, still bigger
Chris Fokjohn how big are planets and is it near infinite?
@@OFFICIAL_RELIX What would be a thing close to infinity?
Paulo Kamei look up video game Maps size comparison
@@OFFICIAL_RELIX that was not an answer but that's okay.
That 1st take off montage when your taking i the surroundings with the peaceful ass music. I loved that. So calming. Also since im just waking up kinda, it put me in a real relaxed mood. So thank you. That part of the video is about to become apart of my morning routine hahaha XD
Super pumped your playing DCS, looking forward to new videos!
You'll be happy to learn the little bird is currently being developed for DCS
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssss
No one is making the little bird. Onlu helicopters that i know of that are beinh made is Mi-24, Ah-1, OH-58D kiowa, BO-105
ÆÆ æ that what i thought i think they out the AH-1Z on hold tho
So so sorry to burst everyone's bubble but to my knowledge there aren't any little bird variants being developped currently...
T B6 there arent any being developed
Ralfi and Drewski? O H M Y G O D
Man you're coming into this at the perfect time. F16 just came out and the super carrier module is right around the corner so you'll actually see deck crew on the carrier.
it’s so weird seeing your channel / this video for the first time when I really liked how that video was made 😂😂 looks like he gained you a subscriber
2:14 Microsoft flight simulator has a 1 for 1 recreation of the earth
Doubt it...they still can't decide on what map to use from year to year...
at one point they had only a recreation of hawaii
Oh hell yeah! This just makes me more jealous... I'm saving to build a PC then get DCS xD
Yeah pls if you get f18 whatever you do read the manual of the aircraft,atleast the iff section
1. Ok lmao. 2. WTF is that name 😂😂.
@@albert8634 u also know the pain ahah
That was so cool following your journey, the heart rate pumping ,that thrill at the end of helping the B52.
I am 61 and I love my jets and am on that journey too! Full throttle is the only way guy's& gals . 🤙
Great video. I just got started with this game myself and holy cow 😂 love the detail but def a learning process lol. Enjoying the challenge
Wait till he try’s a2g now that’s some fun, also in my taste A10 is a lot more fun than hornet can’t wait to see you fly her
anyone else getting a weird name in notifications?
Yep, i feel you bro
Yup me too
Second time now
ye
Hey, Drew. Longtime viewer of yours and also a big fan of all sims and most definitely DCS World. Really happy to see you finally getting into the game. You have clearly picked it up well and I could see you getting pretty good at it, no problem. Consider the A10C module as I know you are a fan and I think you would learn that easily. Thanks again for the upload! Hope to see more DCS from you in the future. Have a happy holiday! EDIT: btw, you had a bunch of DCS related videos in this and one channel I highly recommend is Hellreign82 if you haven't watched his videos already.
I know this video is old and you won't see this, but I'd like you to take a moment to acknowledge and appreciate just how far you've come in DCS since this video. You got to experience it as a trickle, but I got to see it in the span of a few hours - and the difference is incredible! Keep up the awesome work.
Are u playing with mouse and keyboard or with a joystick?
"Biggest map in gaming". Oh buddy no.
*laughs in Elite Dangerous*
Fly safe CMDR
o7
Your videos are the best this was particularly awesome
I don’t know why but there is something cereal about flying in the air I love watching it and I love partaking in it just being up there virtually and physically is beautiful
"This probably the biggest videoclip map that has ever existed".
Fsx: Am I a joke to you?
if you crash you have to buy the plane again
SHIT

That ending was really satisfying to listen to your reaction
I love that you are finally playing this game! Hope I'll see you on a server some day!
19:17 what is that song called again??? Can someone tell me
Racing Hearts - Mattie Maguire. Was searching for at for a long time aswell :)
Matteo thx mate :)
Planes are really expensive in my country i really want to ride ajs 37 but :(
I love Viggen. One of the best mods in the game
get the fc3 plane they are cheap and good beginner planes
@@meher2096 not really
First ever PvP player kill was the single most thrilling and satisfying thing I've ever done in a video game, especially since it was my Mirage M2000-C that I spent weeks flying in training servers and pve servers, but all that work paid off when I put down an F-15 Eagle, a FAR superior plane to a mirage lol. Can't wait to see some more DCS content drewski, and working with ralphi is gonna give you the best edge you can get.
I’m actually glad to hear you got someone that was experience with the game to help you because I’ve watched quite a few videos from growling sidewinder who has mentioned if you needed any help or you wanted someone to help you with anything to like send him a message or whatever while I did, but he flat out ignored me.
