    well after saying you did it for real hundreds of times, i subscribed right away, receiving instructions from real pilots is always the best, the Pro-Tips are all over, tx Sir

    Very nice! One extra-tip: When you make the decision to transition to a visual approach you can also optionally press Uncage to declutter the ILS symbology from the HUD. (Not 100% sure if that is implemented already, but it should be.)

    Never did ILS approaches so there are few things that are not clear. Where are those numbers to T-ILS initial configuration are coming from? Specifically TCN frequency which is 45 X. It's not on the plate as you mentioned in the video, but where did you get this info?

    Nice, I love the ILS-landings. Have been inventing the worst weather and darknes and unannounced aproaches so no landing strip lights either and it is amazing to se the center line of the runway coming up in front of you in the landing lights when doing the approach correctly. Question: Is the AOA only important during the last part of the landing approach?

      @@ebptube The AOA will give you your final approach speed. This speed should be achieved and maintained for at least the last 3nm.

    Outstanding vid on an ILS close to minimums!! I really enjoyed that, watched it twice. As a GA pilot flying DCS occasionally, this SA helps my flying, even in in disparate aircraft/speeds. The steam gauge approach was fabulous in today's world of all glass. Were you an IP? You publishing your experiences is what makes DCS the best simulator/procedural trainer available today!

    Nice and exhaustive tutorial about ILS landing.
    I've flown hundreds if not thousands of hours in various F-16 simulators, but I never followed a standard approach chart to the point, so this was nice.
    (I usually set a steerpoint at 1500 ft where the beginning of the glideslope is (4.7nm in the case of Bodø), and just fly the localizer/glideslope).
    One thing I was curious about, though, is how come you did not fly "on speed" according to the AOA indexers and HUD Bracket/Flight Path Marker combo? You were a little too fast (as can also be seen by your pitch attitude on approach (nose low)). Was this purposefully due to adverse weather conditions, or did you disregard the avionics cues?
    Thanks!

      @@RAF33Strike nice observation. I have watched many F-16 landing through the HUD available on the internet, and I remember Mover I think, saying they would fly just above the bracket on approach, which gives you about 10-11 degrees of pitch angle. Flying right in the bracket is 13 AOA, and very close to dragging the tailpipe on the ground. When you flare, you increase the angle of attack by a few degrees and risk hitting the tail on the runway. Here is a video that I found of an F-16 landing with a speed that is above the bracket. I could probably fly my approach a few knots slower, but this runway was long enough. ua-cam.com/video/KmLlOX7ojjY/v-deo.htmlsi=NuNbQxJjbB4HHtYD

      ​@@maddog7989even the chuck's guide for the DCS F16 and I believe he manual tells us to fly it exactly like you did, a little over the bracket and about 11 degrees. Fantastic video!
