First, I loved the part where Dark blew you (up). Second, I think you can turn this into a DCS team sport! Imagine making different variations of canyon runs and making these even more difficult, but there's a catch! Turn it into a 5--person team event, where each team has 4 "goalies" and 1 "runner" where the goalies soak up all the damage via strategic methods and only the runner may ultimately score the final point at the end. You'd have to combine flying in the proper locations at the right time to soak anticipated damage from specific weapon systems and potentially even a couple guaranteed kill shots on your defenders during the course in order to survive. Essentially, a successful competition canyon map would have to be tuned to the point where it guarantees 2 out of 5 planes die even on a perfect run. Then, other teams could compete against you via furthest location, followed by time if both (all) teams failed, and by hitting the target and then time if teams succeeded. It's the next football I tell ya! : ) You can call this sport: "Can-you-run?" Baiscally it will sound like a non-native speaker trying to say canyon run hah. Scoring a bunker kill at the end can be called a "Blow-up-job"
Dark releasing his bomb early and blowing up Cap is a pure GR moment 😅🤣! It reminds me of older videos where this kind of hilarious stuff almost always happened, creating the ultimate "doomed by team mates" difficulty level. Favorite quote : "Throttles should be welded in the forward position" - I couldnt agree more ! BTW, I hope you'll get the SW mods working, can't wait to watch it. Great content as usual, keep it up guys ! 😉
Saturday is the perfect day to post these as we've turned it into a drinking game. Visualize five drunk veterans in my basement chanting at the screen MATRIX! MATRIX! MATRIX! Dark! Dark! BIRD BIRD! *Take a drink every time cap dies*

I love these canyon runs, they remind me so much of the anime Area 88 where the Aslan mercs had to run something very similar, except at night in both the original movies and the series as well. Tons of fun to watch, great stuff GR crew!
Could you guys do some Red Arrows themed battles, Hawks vs Migs, Hawks vs Harriers, vs F16s etc. It was Trooping the Colour today so do it for Prince Charlie
Here is an idea for a scenario: Instead of going back in time with modern weapons platforms (a GR favorite), how about bring an old weapons platform into the future? For example could a WW2 Navy carrier group helped defeat the initial Argentine invasion of the Falklands? Or Saddams invasion of Kuwait? Could the WW2 US 8th Airforce helped defeat ISIS? Of course GR would suffer horrific casualties…but all the more fun!
At the risk of being mostly ignorant of DCS aircraft choices, Id be curious to see what this run would be like with some of the F111 variations from that era?
One question and some ideas. Are the missiles able to lock onto the warbirds? They may not generate enough heat for a good lock in which case the warbirds would want to fly high. Alternately you could try lower, 50ft or less for the whole run so you get more terrain masking.
DCS really needs the Sabre with the additional 2000lb available using the orenda engine. there will still be pain, but a slightly increased chance of pulling off this ridiculous mission.
@@stephen_1987 the performance down low for the Avon is really close, only 10mh less than the MK6 with no maneuvering limitations. I'd agree that either would be a better stand in for that near impossible mission.
a bit of a long shot how about the F-104, fast at low altitude, small frontal area, small wings, were used as attack aircraft by the Germans you never know might just be elusive enough?
@@MB-mr4ek I guess I don't have it installed, and I guess I haven't flown it. Neither have the Grim Reapers against soviet bombers, nor has Growling Sidewinder. Hmmmm
@@ShovelMonkey There's a VSN mod, but nobody knows whether it's accurate or not, same as all their other mods. They aren't very high quality which is why most content creators seem to avoid using them most of the time. Even the F-35 the reapers use is heavily changed from what VSN released.
Canyon runs get a Supercap's baby's 'MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!' Fab entertainment thanks guys; actually- getting strong echoes of the fabulous approach run to the Dams raid you did in Mossies several years back- repeating that in various different aircraft would be superb. Don't suppose bloody DCS will ever produce a player flyable Lancaster, consequently they'll never get a penny from me! 😛
I don't think it'll work. The mozzy will get picked up at that close range and the WW1 planes are so slow you wouldn't need radar to shoot them. I'd still watch it though 👍
Even a buggy mess of Star Wars footage and models will be better than anything Disney can do, and a lot cheaper too :) ...... Hopefully you'll get the models working soon.
Is there a BSG mod with Vipers and Raiders? Would love to see one made by you guys or use one already made with guys dodging the ground guys of this while also dodging some shots from Pegasus and a Basestar
It's a shame about the star wars machines not working. I could suggest a bot air balloon, but I think that would take weeks to get there. But C-130 and a MOAB?
That’s what matrix was bitching about though. The non radar guide as in dcs is just as accurate. It’s crazy good. Only a few of the guns in this scenario are radar guided. I think, if he wants them to pull this off (a big if) cap,will have to make it easier somehow.
+GrimReapersAtomic *How about the Henschel 129, which can counterattack the Flak? the Douglas AD (USDoD after 1962: A-1), which can also counterattack the Flak?*
We need a recreation on the OP Rolling Thunder Attack on the Dragons Jaw bridge. 94 Thunderchiefs made attack runs on it. While the Vietnamese attacked with Migs.
Capt, the " I hate everything" made me spit beer. You guys rock.
Agreed ,, yet again GR made my day ...... The banter just makes it all a ok pmsfl .....
That and "get another one" makes me laugh every time which is every video lol
Which one?
Cap "I got further than last time!" BANG! 🤣🤣🤣
I wish I did not laugh at that... but that was funny.
Yup Cap is his own Nemesis 😂😂😂
that was MOST ENJOYABLE, thank you Cap and crew

"got further than the last time" ATOMISED.... omg my sides
The the biggest hazards to the guys AAA, Manpads, and Cap flying next to them 😂😂
In other words, anything that can get a solution .... 😂
The wing fences were to keep the airflow on the wingroot from defecting to the outer wing.
This is SUCH a fun series! More, please!
"My mind turned out to be wrong". Story of My Life.
Same.
This video was a lot of fun to watch. Very entertaining...just awesome. Keep trying. You all get so close to the end .
Great flying guys, love Caps reactions as he gets it😂
Cap looked like Archer sitting in the plane at the end
Excellent, just excellent, everything a Grim Reapers video should be!
Matrix earns extra points for the hammerhead and the degree of difficulty on the dismount. Even from the Russian judge. 😂😂
5:18 R2-D2 screaming in the background there.
I can see this ending up as a combined arms mission!

I am begging you guys to please try using an F-4U corsair and P-38. love the chance to watch some of these missions like this.
Neither are in game yet.

The Valley of Death ☠️ is the Reapers Kobayashi Maru ☠️
The X Wing has a deflector shield, if DCS has deflector shields working; then might be possible 9 min into vid. enjoying the flame show.
Have we done Viggens or Gripens yet? It might be spectacular.
I touched one of the two remaining flying Landcasters today, June 15, Goderich airport, saw it fly yesterday.......shook the ground, good planes lads, alot of young people there also,
Awesome.
Shame they don't have the Buccaneer or the Su7 they where designed to go fast and low .. (wonder if a Skyhawk could do it )
11:06 idk why but, Caps instrument panel reminds me of the turbulence scene in AIRPLANE
"And Simon has turned to Jelly" Just needs the sound effects
I love these canyon runs, they remind me so much of the anime Area 88 where the Aslan mercs had to run something very similar, except at night in both the original movies and the series as well. Tons of fun to watch, great stuff GR crew!
Id love to see this as a helicopter run
oof painful.
Slower flight speeds let us enjoy the details of the map. Really impressive.
More Gooder is more Better'er. Another valued video!!
What I love is that whenever Koenig asks Victor a question he says "Well John..... I just don't know...." EVERY FECKIN TIME!!!
Not sure if the Eagle is in DCS 😂
Could you guys do some Red Arrows themed battles, Hawks vs Migs, Hawks vs Harriers, vs F16s etc.
It was Trooping the Colour today so do it for Prince Charlie
Matrix was right. AA to accurate. At least the guns. Cover with F4s with shrike missiles.great stuff
Dark made Cap the "injured gazelle".
2 requests for Top Gun 2 Canyon Run:
1) Legit attempt with B-1’s.
2) Cheat session with high-altitude bombing. B-1, B-17, B-52.
It seems like someone armed the Womp rats this week.

Thanks for all you do, I really enjoy watching your daily videos.
Can you try the run with a Mosquito, will the AA radars track a mostly wooden aircraft? Same question about WWI birds.
I don't think it'll work. The mozzy will get picked up at that close range and the WW1 planes are so slow you wouldn't need radar to shoot them. I'd still watch it though 👍

@@Thewhitetile You were the real people's champ today, Dark!
@@Thewhitetilethat is all. (I'm cap).
That intro had me dyin and jammin 😂better faster harder stronger
That’s what she said
Me-109: can I shoot for the AA? A-10 (while just casually flying): of course if you want :D
C'mon guys my daddy did it in Korea with F9F Panther!
The Koreans had gephards and sa10s in Korea 😝
Itching so bad that you are flying so high while everyone else is low.
5:18 seems like Hans got a little excited in his Gepard after hitting the bird
No P-47's?
I’m curious why you think going even slower would be better?
@joshuaanderson4090
P-47s are smaller than the A-10 (harder to hit), roughly same speed and LEGENDARY for their ability to absorb damage.
Is there a BSG mod with Vipers and Raiders? Would love to see one made by you guys or use one already made with guys dodging the ground guys of this while also dodging some shots from Pegasus and a Basestar
I want to see you do this with helicopters, only you're allowed to hunt the sam sites in the process ;)
Tornado and F111?
if you squint a bit, the A10 looks a bit like a closed X-Wing.
If you squint, you look a bit like a da chinese
9:26 a thing happened, poor Cap 😂😂

How different the WWII Allied bombing experience would have been if the Germans had modern radar controlled guns like these. Ouch…

You could try a mossy two engines and maneuverability and being made of wood probably a low radar signature
( Cap, you made me laugh, ) (24:33) I did better then the last time......BOOOOM !!!!! LMFAO !!!!!
Hell, someone needs to model the Blackburn Buccaneer for this run. It’d be perfect!
Great video. I would like to see F-14, F-16 or F-15EX in the trench run. I think that would be cool.
step 1: Jack up your car.
Surprised the Mossie didn’t get in the mix
Just tooo easy to hit.
@@grimreapers Makes sense
Maryland Air National Guard A-10 represent!
@ 10:15 "Yes" LOLZ
why does grim reapers never fly a p-38? is it not modeled in DCS??
Try a Super Tweet.
Try it with planes that are designed to ground hug - eg Buccaneer, Jaguar, Tornado. Assuming they are available in game/ mod

The De Havilland Mosquito might maek a good run of it.
Jeez how stoned IS Dark lol
Why do you not have the EW pod installed on the A-10 ?
I think these canon runs are great , need more, How far would you get in a tiger moths or B52s
Mig-19 Merca!
Have you tried with 5th gen yet?
Do it in biplanes next!!!
Why not the Me 262 or the Metor guys need to add them into the all gen fights
You should probably have removed at least half of the AA placements before trying this with older planes. But Cap seems to be the sadistic sort...😅
Is the F-111 sufficiently implemented in DCS to try this challenge?
I'd love to see the F-111
I think if you pull too many g's in the MiG-21 the bombs can fall off.
I miss your tutorials cap
GR have just released a number of F4 guides, they are Cap quality items.... go check out releases in-case you've missed the notifications.
We need an Intruder in the game if for no other reason than this.
If ur going to do this again try it with the F-15E and f-111 mig 29 n su27
When I am looking at this comment section, I realized nobody used 14:58 or any time stamps :c
Is it weird that a (possibly slightly mean) part of me wants to see someone try this in an F-104?
See you on Monday night Cap 😇
Roger
I noticed that you don't like to use the F-86's radar gunsight.
I prefer the caged mode, same with Phantom.
do you have buccaneers
SR-71 time?
