That's earlier than me. I started with Lock On and I'm still here. If you haven't been back for a while, it's a pretty good time to try. There's some pretty good free stuff. Though that's how they hook you...
Ive seen hundreds, probably thousands of these videos.. Theyre all the same. So I disliked the video because at the end of it I gained nothing new- it felt like a waste of my time.. Maybe next time instead of telling viewers 'How you land', you actually explain 'How you land' with examples of the buttons you press.. An example is- I never knew that i could fold the SU33's wings, buts whats more frustrating, is that youve not explained what keys i need to press to do this.. If I want to learn 'How to Land' I now need to watch another video just to find out what button i need to press, to drop the hook So in hindsight, it almost feels like a video where we 'watch you land', because youre not giving any helpful information out to educate me, and if i wanted to watch people land there are better videos that do this..
Thanks for the feedback. I'm always looking to improve, whether it's video making or landing itself. Up until now I've made the choice not to mention the key combination themselves because I don't know what the setup of my watcher is. You could have bound the wings and hook to a panel attached to your STECS. So in that situation, you knowing the button exists means you can find it in DCS through the search. At the very least, I'll add the button presses to the description of this video when I start DCS today. I could start saying the button presses in the video. Or I could put text on screen as a compromise between time (less speaking, shorter), and still giving people the key presses. Between the three options (presses in description, presses on screen in text, me saying the presses in the video), which would you prefer? Doing multiple at the same time is also an option of course.
@@BiasedFlight Its not just the keys, you talk about 'getting on the glide path'... How?!? Ive now got to go find a video that teaches me how to get onto the glide path from a normal flight.. I just think there are lots missed.. It doesnt bother me that youve missed those bits, as ive said- there are videos that do better at educating us, and i just hoped that in future videos, youd do better.. No worries if you dont..
@@bobbydigital51 I've noted that down. I'll probably make a separate video on that and waypoint navigation in general. How I'll address it in future videos on landing is something I'll need to think about. It's pretty easy for me to spend too much time on something others don't care about, or treat something as obvious that isn't for others. So I appreciate you pointing things out, and feedback in general. If you have anything else you noticed, please do share. I don't expect I can go from where I am now to something you'd like in one video, but hope at least if you watch again in the future you'll see some improvement.
I used to play this when it was simply Flanker in the early 2000s...
