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.

That manual function is actual genius.

[acebubbles]

I love the phantom already It’s such a smooth and stable platform. Formation with buddies is sooo easy and old jets are so intuitive.

[owensks]

Bought it immediately when I got the email, set up the basic key binds and started up and took off, it is a beast

[MrScar]

Thanks for this man. Just took the Phantom for a spin the first time and it became quickly my second fav module after the Hind. Just love how that thing feels, so your tutorials will be very helpful.

[travistolbert]

Maybe I’m just fanboying here, but I feel Heatblur dropped a ten ton gauntlet on the ground and dared ED and the third parties to step up their game.

[gamereditorner]

Can't wait! Once I get a proper gaming/working PC, I want to fly it!

[davidlawrence]

Sheesh.. right off teh bat, the manual assist makes me want it. All aircraft need this, should be a standard to be accepted into DCS.

I must admit, I was VERY harsh with Heatblur. Especially the last month prior to release. But now having this module I am feeling not only guilty af, but stupid. I have not had one single issue or glitch or bug with anything. I was not expecting this. I have read some other forums and channels where some are having a few issues with multiplayer and dual pilots with a human in each seat. It's more of a server sync thing than a problem with the module. And, like a Boss, Tricker is here dumping tons of useful shit in our heads. Not a deep dive like Reflected Simulation does, that's not what we need. Tell me how to get into the air, how to get things done and I will figure out the rest later. That's the beauty of Tricker. Well made and consice tutorials. Hell, I am having a blast just taking off, flying the pattern and landing. I have just started with bombs and rockets. Next will be air to air, then Walleye's, then Mavericks...so many weapons to choose from! Love it all!

[steliopapazoglou]

Good job dude, probably the most useful quick phantom guide on YouTube right now

[splashfreelance]

Fabulous video. And I'm also really impressed at the amount of usability features of this module, particularly the manual.

[mateusfcl]

Just started my first match with. Great video to make learning this beast more easily and quicker!

[SemyonBoshy]

We are being lazy with this keybindings lmao. Thanks for the video

[OceanPiper]

Thanks Tricker I was looking for mapping controls & other info. You are my go to source for DCS.

[airlinehum]

Thank you for this! Great tips for newbies like me.

[ArcFire_Fox]

Thanks for the video, the tips are most welcome especially since I am a complete newbie to DCS XD

[jantimmer]

Goated tutorials as always, trying to get the mav on target is so annoying tho
