I honestly didn’t think the jester AI would sound this human.
There is so much more I can't show even right now.
Because Jester AI is from a human voice recording lol
The "AI" voice was a Dev who flew RIO for a few hundred hours with the rest of the Dev Team and recorded his audio track.
Then the matched what he was saying to the actions.
So it's a real guy.
Check the Heatblur youtube channel, there is video of WIP RIO voice recording.
Gungriffen it’s not a dev, a guy called gray wolf
11:20 "Yep, I think the LSO just abandoned ship!" I seriously lost it when he said that.
Me too. At first I though he was going for the break seeing so fast approach. LSO surely jumped the net.
@@damsonn That was funny, but what broke me was "Thank god he took the paddles with him" XD
@@damsonn LOL! He had over 1000 ft/min descent rate! It's a good thing they made them tough back in the day :D
@@ilejovcevski79 I guess the crew would have a sore back the next morning though lol
@@genbrien hahahhaha, true! It might be the least of their problems though ;)
LSO: "Call the ball"
LTJG Ralfidude: "Uh, what Ball'?"
E bracket ? 1400 ft rate of descent, nose down landing.... other than the landing great video.....
He was way too high
That approach, my god
"You're at 3/4 of a mile, call the ball"
"Uhhhhhh.... the what now?"
Exactly xD
Very high pass...the ball was off the datums!
This is all of the raw sexual energy of the original Air Combat for the PS1 without all of the problems of the original Air Combat for the PS1
I was thinking Ace Combat 2 personally.
And SO MANY new and exciting problems of its own!!!
If only the F2 view was allowed, just for the sake of personal pleasure.
First fighter game I ever played
"Scarface one" skin when?
Jester calling which wire on a carrier landing is really useful
i have been wondering for a while why jester mentions it, do you know why?
@@comradeboris2335 ideally you would land on the third wire. If theres no LSO to tell you which one you cought, you have to use an external view to see. Jester calling it out makes it easier to tell which one you cought.
* on first wire, rest is back-up in case first fails/snaps
@@19Koty96 The goal of a perfect landing is to touch down such that your hook is exactly in the center of the wires. For a three-wire trap, that would be the second wire. For a four-wire trap, that would be between wires 2 and 3, with the hook then catching the 3-wire.
Catching the 1-wire implies that you were a little behind the power curve on the approach, and didn’t control your descent rate properly.
@@19Koty96 nope. Third. The first is unsafe because a pilot is more likely to hit the ship. In fact, grabbing the first wire is highly discouraged. Also, most wires snap after the tailhook has cleared the fourth wire so it wouldnt matter how many there are. There are 3 or 4 in case the pilot misses the third which is at the ideal spot.
9:21 the bandit almost got sucked up into the intake lol
Damn the tomcat seems to have so much raw power. The way you climbed through those clouds made it seem super powerful
I think it's time for shirtless beach volleyball gentlemen
Is this ASMR? Feels like ASMR.
Figgle my piggle
"I think the LSO abandoned ship, thank god he took the paddles with him!" ROTFLMAO The color commentary from Jester is going to be awesome for a while. ralfidude any chance we can get a collaboration between you and Jabbers in the coming weeks with the 'Cats. Thanks for this look into the Tomcat striker capabilities.
HB is probably restricting multiplayer like it is the RIO seat.
This and your Operation London video are my two highlights of your channel. Incredibly immersive while still managing to show the extent of detail in DCS and the new F14 module. Also the Jester AI communication is nutbusting
Good god that is gorgeous. Everything from the cockpit to the flight and the soundtrack is godly.
The F-14 is my first preorder and I can't wait to fly this damn thing!
i had forgotten about those push buttons that turn when depressed. It's been 26 years since I sat in those seats. Having been an Avionics Tech (AT) on Tomcats in VF-33 in 1988 thru 92, I'm going to have a real blast from the past playing with this module. What an amazing job recreating this old bird! I'm so grateful.
Nice Video dude! I can't wait to get my hands on her!
Some things of note/questions
1- Super interesting Loadout with the LAU-10's in the tunnel, I've only seen photos of LAU-10's on the Glove stations at China Lake, I didn't know they would put them in the tunnel
2- Why did she fishtail so hard on the catstroke? Is this just the usual DCS weirdness that occurs when not totally lined up and you hit the "U" Key? It looked you were pretty darn well lined up!
3- Going against those SA-2's looked super hairy! Maybe try staying in the horizontal, cause if you go vertical against a SAM its gonna beat your energy state everytime, even an old SA-2!
4- Cool engagement against those MiG-25's! Awesome guns tracking kill Baby!
5- The menu system and interaction with Jester looks great and looks super intuitive when is great! Did you have a hard time talking to Jester in the middle of combat? It seems in some instances he said some things that were maybe redundant like after the guns kill, as that Foxbat is crashing he says "Lock Broken" (paraphrasing) just an observation, I am sure it would be hard to code him not to say something after a specific event, ie killing a MiG.
Awesome Video dude! Can't wait to get my hands on her and make some vids with guys who actually flew her! Super cool to see how other YTer's approach different engagements and situations.
- - roger that I must’ve missed that
@ 3 : Interesting, as I've read many times that pilots over Vietnam did vertical maneuvers to defeat SA-2's specifically. Although, they did (as I understood it) tend to defeat it with a snappy change of direction at the "end" - AFAIK made possible by the vertical "yo-yo's" in before.
Jarlerus that was specifically pushing the nose down and then pulling up at the last moment, that’s very different from the extended nose up flying in the video (no offense to ralfidude just sharing my observations)
@@Spudknocker If you make an SA-2 commit to the vertical approach by pulling high and then cutting away, you slip out of it's engagement envelope pretty easily because a telephone pole with a rocket engine on one end pointed up with tiny manuever fins has terrible kinematics, specially if you draw it into a trailing vertical. (And why the best defense against SAMs is knowing one has been fired at you!)
I really think Jester will help me survive combat better than doing everything myself in the F-18. He can say in words what’s going on instead of me having to lead and quickly try to decipher all the tones and info on the EW page. My main issue is surviving SAMS at the moment. I honestly think this will make it easier for me
This got me going "down to the last nut" again! So much joy, such a mouthwatering showcase of coolness overload......jawdroppingly amazing. Can only be a matter of weekends now. Great show, Ralfi!
Jester looks nuts when you glance over your shoulder. Dude How much fun this is gonna be...
Love this video. I've always wanted to fly a real F-14 since I was a kid. DCS will do though.
Great video! Maybe the most impressive thing for me is how capable the Jester AI seems to be. If it’s as good as it appears to be here it’ll be very impressive.
Well I was dubious about the Tomcat with the whole two seat thing on single player but man you just changed my mind. Love the F14. Now please can we have the A6 Intruder, the Tornado or even the F16 then I can go die of happines.
4:57 good lord I'm gonna burn so much gas listening to the throttle and the afterburners engaging over and over again...
I'm pre paid and this is like some kind of weird punishment lol . Have all the modules F-18,viggen,harriar but to be honest I think I'm going to appreciate Jesters help. Nice video.
awesome. But I'm docking points for not getting the Greywolf to make you a custom grzegorz brzęczyszczykiewicz line.
norwegianwiking that would be amazing! XD
I was gonna say that, but was way too lazy to Google the spelling.
Gregozr-Cabbage-vich
..........9:40 "Cougar, we are WAY low on gas, do you understand me?......you alright, man"
Im gonna get this so I can play danger zone at 3 am whilst flying this to feel cool, and to forget the crippling depression
Yup same g
Now we need hotpocket to cover Danger Zone.
This module is gonna push me into depression...
Greedy fuckers from heatblur obviously dont give a fuck.... Money comes first.
Nearly broke my mouse clicking on this...
Lol
I cannot wait to see footage of a two player single aircraft rather than using Jester AI.
I do like the implementation of Jester AI, my only complaint is in just a single specific aspect of his voice.
Whenever there is a lead-in to a situation, he says "get ready".
It seems to get over used for every situation and destroys the suspension of disbelief. The repeated "get ready" call makes me feel like I am watch the start of the next stage of some 80's arcade game I fed quarters into so long ago.
Other than that... excellent job to Heatblur on Jester AI.
Great to watch as always, Ralfi! Gratz in doing the preview!
well there goes my good pants
Dayum that was so nutty.
Pardon my language, i couldn't get a better way to express what I felt.
Thank you Ralfi, very cool.
Communication menu with Jester sounds like Hypnotoad :)
9:36 “Common Mav we’re getting low on gas, let’s land this sucker.” -Goose
The action bits had my blood pumping very hard.
Ahh yes the ol shiny naughty team back at it again.
Lol
Love the tags on the side of the ****pit
hahaha love the Jester comment on the landing... ;)
You didn't play Danger Zone once during that! So sad! Great vid.
I played 😎 ua-cam.com/video/Ogzqg_l-4pY/v-deo.html
That ending. You can tell this was a serious labor of love from Heatblur
Can't wait to see how well pilot/RIO multiplayer syncs up & works on a live server... "The plack for the alternates is in the ladies room..."
Hoooooly shit boys. The day is nearly upon us.
Gotta say, these guys do such a good job with the in-cockpit sound effects, within the mig-21 and especially the viggen...looks like the tomcat will be just as good if not better.
There aren't many things in this world that make me as excited as this
I love it
_I feel the need..._ 🕶️
For speed
Tom, is that you?
@@lobo3695 Talk to me Goose...
@@Pierre051286 I wasn't dead just a bit lost :v
The need for speed
Man I wish I had gotten into DCS way back in the day! This looks outstanding!
10:46 "You're high!"
11:00 "Wave off, wave off, wave off"
11:13 "Ugh man this fuckin guy"
11:25 "Someone go tell skip to get Maverick here off the boat"
LOL that thing on the left is called an AOA indicator. Nice video!
Looks like someone did his homework. Very impressive!
damn, rocket pod! 2:48, u did an awesome job
Jester is way too cool! Can’t wait to see more of it
What a beautiful plane, probably the best looking in DCS
"Get ready! SAM, SAM, SAM!!" ... so epic
Was that ordnance cooking-off? Or did you just bomb the 4th of July?
He indeed bombed some static ammo storage units.
I love the 2nd explos
Fkn missiles coming at you, Jester all casual "Spike... 2 o'clock... I guess.."
lol Ralfi you might need some carrier practice. Looks like you just dove into the deck and pulled up at the last second before you destroyed your nose gear.
no, everything went as planned
Cat has some BEEFY gear, and too much AOA makes the hook bounce.
@@ogaustin3606 So does the hornet, but you don't dive into the deck nose first and pull up at the last second.
Think he was showing off how Jester jokes about how good/bad your landing is. That's what I'm going with anyway.
@@Ravnican127 That is a good point.
You know, Ralfi, the Case I pattern does exist for a reason.
I like all the buffeting and rattling. Also glad JESTER'S radial menu has less opacity.
Holy Aim54! That was intense.
Excellent vid Ralfi, cant wait too see what else you can show us in the F-14.
This looks incredible, good work Ralfi!
Wow, "Dangerzone" just hit #1 on iTunes!
that landing was so nasty XD
This is the greatest sim ever made
First of, fuck yeah tomcat!
second, what the hell was that landing lol. Lucky she has strong legs.
Man, great video!
It's soo beautiful, I can't wait..
F 14 music really boils my blood how sexy this thing is ...
2:50 to 4:00 is probably the best thing ever, holy shit
I just put a hole in my desk watching this.
ITS SO PRETTY. My favorite pilot in one of my favorite planes!
Spotting the deck at the end... Tut tut :P Awesome vid, the f14 looks like a handfull!
That livery though...
VF-25 - the ugly christmas sweaters
Another cracking vid, the aircraft is beautifully modeled inside and out, would love some more exterior shots in your videos so we can appreciate the gorgeous aircraft.
it could only be because of aging of the structure because no matter what the claim may be the F-14 is probably still the best aircraft built in the US, on the NAVAL branch it is for sure and both the F-18 and F-35 are serious downgrades from it, raw power, speed, payload and even maneuverability, it had it all
I just can't imagine how much a F-14 built entirely with 2019 technology would be superior to everything else, way stronger radars, lighter and stronger materials to be used for the airframe and fuselage, more compact, lighter and efficient avionics, jet engines like the ones on the F-22 that would give the F-14 the ability to supercruise (flying at supersonic speeds without needing afterburner, thus consuming less fuel), it would reign supreme over the sea
The F-35 and F-18 are no downgrades, or upgrade, just a lateral move to a different role that was “needed” (as i know that’s a debate in its own, but, you get it)
F-14 used most of it's power to haul it's fat ass around. F-18 has higher TWR, and better maneuverability. F-14 can fly 300mph faster at high altitude, but what practical difference does that actually make? F-18 actually also has about 7,000lbs more payload capacity.
@Drew P. The F-14 was an aircraft built for air superiority, the hornet is a multi-role, comparing the payload of the two seems kind of ridiculous (really comparing them at all seems idiotic). The F-14 could travel much farther than the hornet (that 300 mph difference would come in handy at such range), had a superior radar, and was a weapons platform for the aim-54. It did exactly what it was built to do at the time and it did it well.
@@markp.7109 the F-14 is/was on par with the F-15 on how much it surprised its designers for being better than they thought it could become, the only reason it is not used now is simply the age of the airframe, just like how the F-15 and F-16 have started to struggle in the last decade
(you can probably also include political reasons, aka lobbying)
also, the F-14D had 10 harpoints for a capacity of 14,500lb, the F/A-18 C/D Hornet had 9 for 13,700lb while the Super Hornet has 11 harpoints and can carry 17,750lb, that's 3,250lb and not even near 7,000lb
you can argue that it can carry more modern ordenance but we can also argue that the F-18 has seen a bunch of upgrades and the same never were applied to the F-14, on top of that the more powerfull radar allowed the F-14 to carry long range AA missiles and that is a significant capability when you are the first line of the defense over the sea
I have doubts the F-18 and F-35 combined can be as effective as the F-14 in its heyday, and it seems that many top ranks in the USAF and USN have started to fear getting left behind from betting everything on a F-35 that simply does not meet expectations
@@Unyversal88 Spot on. She's a Cold War Deterrent. All she needed to do was just be in the sky and ze Ruskies knew the score. But, like all good governments, money drives decisions. The F-18 brought an excellent air game, great ground game, less real estate on board ship, less fuel needed and a MUCH smaller maintenance bill. With the fall of the U.S.S.R. the Tomcats job went with it. I've seen these girls on board. They don't fly unless there is oil dripping into all 18 oil drip pans. 2/3 of an F-18 will fit in the exhaust pipe of one of the Tomcat engines. It was an obvious decision to let her sail into history. I was looking forward to this release like everyone else.... but this vid makes me think this is a western Viggen with Max Headroom in the back seat.
lol, agree with the Jester AI on that landing
Dam, it looks good. So far it looks good. Keep up the good work.
they should add music playing atomatically when shit is getting real!
well, you can script that )))
"Jester, music on!"
@@robinschellenberg1745 *starts jamming*
Top gun soundtrack is madatory after a successful mission
Holy shit that was AWESOME :D didnt expect that you could add waypoints set on the map, thats really handy ^^ and all those clicky sounds
The Viggen had this waypoint feature already
Sweet Top-Gun-ish moments...now tell your Bear to shut-up so we can all enjoy the music!
Really good work on the sound design.
*braces against canopy and looks back for you to find bandit*
Good Hunting Maverick, errrr, Ralfidude... Enjoyed that very much!
That would be nice if they'd release the manual so we could learn the beast before she goes live...
I agree
Hope theres an option to control how much Jester talks, not really looking for too much input
Nice video. That landing though...
Happy New Years @Ralfidude Cheers to more amazing videos and hilarious moments! 🍻
Oh. My dear sweet lord. It was worth the wait
some will buy the F-14 because they loved top gun growing up, some will buy it because they want a more stylish carrier multirole than the hornet, but I'll just buy it so I can talk to jester when I'm feeling down :(
I don't really care about the tomcat but that copilot ai is amazing. maybe once they're done with the hornet we get a D variant :P
Any of you boys seen an aircraft carrier around here?
Outstanding bomb run!
You are lucky to have the f14 before us
PD: I want my copy NOW!!!!! 😭😭😭😭
Derpy nose art!
Looks quite well polished already.
This is art right here!
No Way ! Some F-14 gameplay !
What in the world!! Holy Moly Macaroni Batman!! Those SAMs!!!!! Nice job stroking the stick nice and soft to avoid them!! LOL.. ASMR pilot! I KNEW IT!! :D
Exactly the content I expected from Ralfidude when I saw the F14 get released - Can't say I am dissapointed.
Goddamnit Ralfi! I'm broke AF and now i HAVE to buy this!
I bought it yesterday, almost bought it again after watching this.
I'm with your brother thank God tomorrow is payday.
Totally random question can u make it so the pilot appears in the cockpit like I know it sounds weird but that’s a huge deal for me being able to see the pilot
too many switches, this is the way to do a top end sim....I don't want to see a flight suit
It's a option I believe
This is badass to say the least
