Hi, its a pleasure to see that you are still adding to this series ... it is actually the best tutorial series about the Viggen, that I've yet seen; thanks a lot for your kind help on us getting to learn this complex plane. Cheers.
I would like to thank you, John, for this series. I find it the best one out of all of the others I've seen. You take things slow so that everyone can understand what you're saying and doing, guaranteed. At first I was really puzzled about on how to operating the viggen but with your help I can now fly this machine with quite som confidence, all thanks to you!
Thank you for making such informative and easy to understand tutorials. I especially appreciate how you break down each step of the process and at a pace that's easy to follow. I always get excited whenever I see you've posted a new tutorial ☺. Thanks again.
Fantastic video as always, thanks for helping the rest of us keep up! Just a short note at the end regarding the reverser failing to kick in initially: pushing the throttle into any of the afterburner stages will cause an override to allow for the pilot to quickly break away for a go-around. Additionally there's currently an unresolved bug with the landing gear and on occasion it will not detect collision with the ground (specifically the rear-left) which will cause the reverser to "think" it's still airborne and thus not engage.
At landing, the vertical 'fin' inside your flight path marker indicates the necessary speed to maintain the correct AOA. It is correct when it doesn't intersect the circle and has a zero length gap to it. In your landing your speed was to low to maintain the AOA thus your sinking rate was very high and in the end you got the AOA warning because you needed to critically force the aircraft up for a correct attitude. If you constantly change your throttle so the fin perfectly meets the circle, your landing will be perfect :)
Thank you for the tip. I was aware that the fin shows the ideal speed, but I didn't know that it would work for the final approach phase as well. Will definatelly keep that in mind for the next flight!
Excellent series of videos. Now using this method of way point input, how can we input a target point? I mean say from JATAC. We can input the LOLA, coordinates, however the altitude represents a problem, since we need the pressure (QFE) at the target point to set up the bomb sights?
Hi @xxJohnxx, Could you do a video teaching us how to fly non-visually at low altitude. Finding it hard to develop a flow (which gauges and indications to watch) while flying on the deck through fog/at night. I'll fly your wing if you do :)
Hey Jon, don't have the viggen yet but I'm still enjoying all your videos! Will you ever consider doing non tutorial content in the future? I really like your personality and style of presentation.
Thanks! I have been considering that for some time now. However, so far, I couldn't get arround to produce stuff that I like that has nothing to do with tutorials. A lot of non-tutorial projects went to the scrap-bin so far. Maybe another time!
I don't think it works properly yet Ernesto! I did get the dials to work if you press the '-' button just over the turn-dials (left panel) and than turn the AM dials into a frequency. 9/10 times it works, but I think it's something LN put low on their priorities, which I don't blame them for because I forget to ask permission to land anyway :P.

Thank you very much!
Thanks John, very helpful tutorial this one. My entire sqaudron is making use of it!

I’m just getting into the Viggen. Your tutorials are excellent, thank you for your efforts mate.

Didn't know that about the reverser. Very usefull information!
Sir, your tutorials are top quality.
Thank you.
As always a great addition to your unsurpassed tutorial series, looking forward to your next video
Thank you Grizzly!
Very usefull video about manually inputting the waypoints. I got scared whilst reading the manual but you've broke down my myth XD thx
6 years later valuable information
So greatful for your work. Excellent quality as usual. Have a schnitzel for Sunday.
Thank you! Sounds like a good idea as well!
Really nice tutorial! I have seen many of your video's and read the leatherneck's and chuck's guide but didnt find answer until now! well done.
Glad I could help out!
Perfect timing John! Have a nice Sunday (Good thing that I wrote my flight plans down for the M2K. Only small adjusments re. Open conflict )
Have a nice Sunday as well! Being able to create your own flightplans in any of the modules is awsome. Amazing to see that DCS has come this far!

As always, thank you John. :)
Nice video! This will help a lot with the planning!
Thanks for the effort man, essential info.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you
this video is so good I want to like it twice, which I did using my alternate account! :D
what he said ;)
Haha, thanks! :)
Ah, thank you John!
Great video! Thanks!

I will cover QFE calculation (and other methods) in the next video. I hope to get it recorded and uploaded tomorrow!
Excellent! Look forward to it. Thank you sir.
Thanks for this John! Are you planning to do a video on bomb delivery? I'd love to see one if you're open to suggestions!
Thank you! I have considered it. Maybe will recorde one in the future!
xxJohnxx that would be great! Maybe a few mission videos as well if that's something you'd be interested in. Your DCS videos are my favorite!
Hi @xxJohnxx,
Could you do a video teaching us how to fly non-visually at low altitude. Finding it hard to develop a flow (which gauges and indications to watch) while flying on the deck through fog/at night.
I'll fly your wing if you do :)
good idea
Very nice, cheers

Excellent vid again xxxJohnxxx, What map texture are you using looks stunning?
Thanks! I am using Barthek's GTM 7 textures.
Cheers John, been using Starways and Mustangs also but will see what Bartheks one is like on performance.
Version GMT 10 has been just released a couple hours ago. Gonna check it out!
could you please do a tutorial of how to use the radio
I will have a look at it within the next videos.
I don't think it works properly yet Ernesto! I did get the dials to work if you press the '-' button just over the turn-dials (left panel) and than turn the AM dials into a frequency. 9/10 times it works, but I think it's something LN put low on their priorities, which I don't blame them for because I forget to ask permission to land anyway :P.
Here is a Forum post with the best explanation on the radio use that I've found: forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3053305&postcount=6
this would be greatly appreciated!!!
John please can you tell me the complete Mod for the ground textures that you use ?
In advance a great thanks, Skull.
This video was recorded with Barthek's GTM 7, however I have since updated to GTM 10.
Is it possible to set desired altitude for the different way points?
Hi, nice vids, How to program computer at Nevada map when LOLA, LONG is: ?118?:38:30 LAT is: 38:33:32 ?
Correct (for future reference), one just drops the hundreds digit.
Can you set up a waypoint when in the air without typing in the LOLA?
Thanks!!!!!!!!!
How do you get that radar cursor up and can you make waypoints with that
I recommend watching this video: ua-cam.com/video/9xiRjCA2xBM/v-deo.html&list=PLs4yzB9MM2Sw3okBvFavzBugu-1UpkEPr&index=2
could someone please post a list of the airport codes for the data panel
Apache's checklist includes that information:forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=183759
