    I recently finally decided to learn the F-16 and all your tutorials are just amazing. You cram more useful info into 5 minutes than most videos do into 20.

      Thanks for this dude. Been looking on how to do this, just got the 16 5 days ago. Loses a lot of power above 30,000 compared to the 14 but low down its a beast!

    Good video bud. Another thing worth mentioning is that you can use the AIM-9 without the radar. If you switch it to bore mode on the SMS page then it will follow your HMCS. This allows you to lock and fire the AIM-9 completely silently. The bandit will get no RWR warning at all.

    I've been flying the Viper for a long time and didn't know that missile step long-press trick to switch to AIM 120s. Nice trick! Thanks!

      @@craigharris41 No. There's two different names for it. The Fighting Falcon is the official name, but the pilots call it the Viper. Both are correct.

      same, I somehow didn't know about it and was always fumbling around with OSBs to switch.
      for those who don't know the Missile Step button is also your Nosewheel Steering button. on real F16 it's an index finger button on the right side of the stick.

    Hmm this is weird then as when i do the exact same thing the missile step button simply chooses another AIM9x from a different pylon ...
    Ahhh its a push and hold for more than 0.5 seconds of the missile step ... sorted, nice videos dude really enjoing these bitsize vids.

    HI. i have gotten this oval while on the ground. the second i take off everything goes wonky and it wont let me TMS up like i did on the ground. I am in dogfight, hotstart, slave , aim120, HMD on, what is going wrong?

  • @matterbe9213

    Gaffer, any advice on the current state of the BVR radar? It feels pretty rough trying to lock stuff up at range right now.

    Hey when you lock them up with the radar HMCS does it give them a soft lock or will it give them a RWR warning?

    You call this a tutorial? You keep hitting buttons programmed on Hotas without any info where it is in the pit. Wow

      Some people are impossible to help 😔. I hope you don't have too hard a life. Good luck, you need all you can get.

      If you have a HOTAS setup, TMS & DMS are Target Management Switch & Data Management Switch. These are sometimes unexplained in tutorials as their functions are assumed. Once, you learn TMS, DMS, SPI’s & ‘sensor of interest’ (SOI) it all becomes relatively easy. Keep at it mate, I was once where you are. ❤
