DCS F-4 Phantom - Air to Air Jester Guide

Welcome to another video where today we talk about the amazing Heatblur F-4 Phantom while using Jester in aerial engagements. The jester context button is such a handy button to have now, and it's recommended you bind this to your HOTAS.

Hey pilots! Tricker here and I want to welcome you to my channel on combat aviation. I’m a real world pilot in the Airbus 319/320/321 series and I enjoy DCS World, Falcon BMS, Falcon 4.0, IL-2 Sturmovik, X-plane 11, and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.

If you want to fly WWII aircraft over Normandy and the English Channel, then DCS World WWII is for you and they have plenty of aircraft to choose from such as the BF-109, FW-190, Spitfire, P-47 Thunderbolt, and P-51 Mustang. If you enjoy modern aerial combat then you want to focus more on DCS World products such as the F-16, A-10C Warthog, AH-64D Apache, F-15, F-14, JF-17, SU-27, Mirage, Mig-29, F-18 Hornet, Mi-8, Mi-24 Hind, Uh-1 Huey, Ka-50, F-5, Mig-21, AV-8b Harrier, and the F-4 Phantom. Some of the mods that are out there for DCS World are the F-22 Raptor, SU-57, A-4 Skyhawk, Rafale, and Gripen.

I enjoy other games such as Total War, Battlefield, War Thunder, Escape from Tarkov, as well as Squad.

Thank you all for the continued support and enjoy the F-4 Phantom Release! I hope this video will help you shoot down the bad guys!

I tried to get some amazing external footage but for some reason in the current build of DCS, I have issues with track files for the replay. Hope this is fixed soon.

Edit: The aerial refueling button is the uncage button, get tone, press and hold, and fire the trigger to launch the sidewinder.

i don’t think i’ve ever been so excited for an AI in a plane’s backseat

[EnigmaticPenguin]

Really looking forward to the Tomcat getting some Jester love once the F4 development shifts from being HB’s primary focus.

[Makz]

Oooh Nice update to the Jester menu. not having to go back out of the section you're in to choose a different one is a great QOL improvement! I hope it gets back ported to the Cat eventually :)

[Hammy_on_twitch]

Whhhhooo so hyped Step bro! Can’t wait to have you as my wingman!

[igorkratka]

Great demonstration. Thank you. Helps a lot with using Jester context button and how to switch between Sidewinder and Sparrow BWR and in cage mode. Bought Phantom a few days ago. Basically it works like Petrovitch in Mi-24.

[brosefmalkovitch]

Once you see how these aircraft were actually operated and how much skill and practice it took to operate the weapon systems and stay within optimal parameters you finally understand just how much training and flight hours it takes for someone to become skilled at operating one of these things.

[ColonelAkirNakesh]

Your tutorials are much appreciated, its been great seeing you back in full burner!

[riman]

Man, that is nice! I love how they keep improving the interactivity between pilot and Jester! GJ, HB!

[airlinehum]

Great great video! I've watched tons of DCS F4 videos on this is one of the best. Simple, clear instructions. Thank you.

[charlesc]

D-day is tomorrow, ready to give it a shot. Great video and that is a massive shortcut.

[Raven-sves]

Very well done to you and heatblure, this is what I miss in the tomcat.

[Mafuskas]

Tricker, loving your F-4 vids! I've always been a big fan of the F-5 and especially watching you fly it. The F-4 has that same gritty "manual" feel, but with more capability and more toys to play with. Jester looks awesome in this thing! I'm eagerly awaiting more, have a great day!

[PaddyPatrone]

Hope to see this in the F14 at some point

[HighAspect]

Must have video - well done… I hope this translate to the 14, focus, cycling targets, etc would all be great

[wilbuzllf]

Very nice! Well done, this is looking great!

[Tigermoto]

Thanks Tricker, been waiting for this one. As a solo pilot i needed to see what Jester could do for me.

[huka-rtku]

love the liverie! applause for nice vid

[GWVids]

Great job. Can't wait to see more tutorials from you!

[craig]

Very nice video! Informative and fun. I can’t wait till tomorrow night.
