Love to see US pilots try to align INS and do some general test while soviet MiG-21 pilots just told to : "Comrade, click all switch in the cockpit and you're ready to scramble!!!"

Thank you very much for making these quick start tutorials. It´s important for a newby and learner in a new aircraft type to really focus on the individual aircraft systems (in this case: the turbine starting - and NOTHING else. Cranking the engines injecting fuel switching on primary flight avionics powering hydraulics and up she goes). The DCS tutorials overwhelm with at least five times testing every single system in the cockpit, testing all fire systems, having all radio buttons switched to different positions, testing 150 more systems at least five times and so on... I don´t want it "arcady and simple" - the more ultra-realism the better! But it is important for a newbe to focus on every individual aircraft system one after another (and don´t get instructed 100 other realistic checklist procedures at the same time and being in need to control the complete cockpit and already have knowledge about full radio panels radar avionics flight computers and every other when just wanting to learn how to spool up these two turbines :)
One aircraft system after another, this is the perfect way to show tutorials. This is why YouTube vids are so incredible helpful, instead of one hour long checklists focussing on one specific feature of the airplane. After being able to start and activate all avioncs focussing on learning all about the AWG9 AA radar. After that learning the Bombcat AG modus and the Lantirn and other features this flying cat has to offer.

3:27 From that angle it looks so real.

Hi Cap! Thanks for the straight forward video! I love those short start ups. Just two things I would like to add: 1. That the Altimeter can now be uncaged by holding it up towards Stdby for a couple of seconds. The other thing is, that you should set the round counter (above the Display Panel) to 670 prior to start. Otherwise your gun in the HUD will show 0 Rounds when selected and you don't know how many are left.

omg thank you for this. I gave up playing because I got tired of feeling like I was getting a whole new job just to operate this plane

[adabangloy]

Thanks cap now i know how to startup the f14 cause before i just dont know how to start the f14

[SVgamer]

FYI, If you hold the reset on the altimeter long enough the standby flag clears

[BlzrX]

Just came here to say thank you. Used your video to guide me along. Now I don’t feel so bad spending $$ on the F14.

Second guessed myself on the purchase when I couldn’t start it up 😂

[firemedicjm]

Just a quick note, If you release the parking break before the INS alignment is complete, then the alignment will stop and will not complete.

[jmuring]

thanks man, me as on of the f14 fans, now can cold start this plane because of this tutorial, but still I have issues on Landing, the ejection button is so tempting 😅😅😅

[guesstehelo]

the training tutorial was much slower and this video was faster and made me actually learn how to start it up!

[monkey.]

thanks for doing these, they really help.

[CapFreddy]

right to the point, good video as always.

Thank you for this great video serie! It helps a lot. I just have a suggestion as a DCS beginner : It would be nice if you could do a recap mission in order to conclude the serie. Something like setting up a mission in the editor using F14 waypoints, carrier, E3, Sam, tanker, etc, then fly that mission with a bombing run as the objective to illustrate A/G stuff, then come back to the carrier and encountering some air defense on the way to illustrate air to air combat. With air refuel in the middle and a Case I recovery at the end, it would show beginners like me a good start package to create our own mission using what we learn in your tutorials. Keep up the good work

We unpin the ejection seats before we get into the aircraft.
We hand the pins to the plane captains who store them under the nose gear, there’s a box.
We only arm the ejection seats after we are strapped in with three different belts.
Leg restraints, lap belts and shoulder harness.

the ground air supply guy's sound is so adorable

5:08 I had no idea you could play 1980's Battlezone on that screen! Well it is an old jet i suppose 😁

[hasajada]

That is a very nice picture of VF 102 Diamondback.

I love the Grim Reapers version of the start-up. Quick and to the point. Good vid brother keep it up and I hope you are doing well.
