This video is a little something to help anyone struggling with the Radar of the F-16 Viper. In this video we go over Bars Azimuths Range and SAM mode and we tie all the concepts together at the end. Please note that I don't claim to know it all, I'm simply sharing what I do know in hopes that it helps someone out there. I hope you enjoy the video Thanks so much for the support guys.

So just an FYI, we are only covering material that is currently available in the Early Access F-16 Viper, as more features are implemented we will discuss those as well. I hope you guys enjoy and find this video helpful. As always guys, I don't claim to know it all, I'm simply sharing what I know in hopes that it will help people out there struggling to understand the Radar in the F-16 Viper and give a more in depth understanding of what you are looking at when you are looking at the radar screen. Thank you all for your on going support. couldnt do it without you. Special thanks to Max Waldorf for his help in the creation of this video.

last time I've seen APG68 explained at this level of detail was in Falcon4 900-page manual...

3years on and hands down still the best explanation compared to what's available on youtube. I wish there were more tutorials on F16

[robertcurtis]

Awesome tutorial! One thing that seems to confuse a lot of players unfamiliar with radar is that the dish elevation is gimballed to the horizon, not your jets AOA. So if you are cruising at angels 20 and you get an AWACS call for a bandit at angles 10, pointing the nose of your jet down will not cause the radar to scan lower. You must move the dish to physically scan the lower altitude. I think radar elevation control is something a lot of players don't bother with because it seems too complicated so they think "I'll just point my jet at the target instead". It doesn't work that way for elevation.

Hey GS, I'm one of your early subs. Now I remember what made/makes me love this channel. The way you do your comprehensive tutorials, from the tone that you're speaking, to the amount of detailed explanations, it's just amazing! Wish you all the best going forward! :)

[jonycreed]

Man you have no idea how your radar tutorials helped me. Others i find are very complex, but yours is straight to the point and the drawings help a ton. I feel like this makes me able to use the radar confortably and at the same time have some basic knowledge of how radars in general work theoretically, which is more than enough for having fun in DCS and not totally suck.

[metalheadedswordsman]

I had a basic understanding of how radars worked but this video really helped me to understand how to use it in a more "in depth" way (especially to scan the portion of the sky I want with bars and azimuths), can't wait to get to my rig to put that new knowledge to test!
Many thanks dude, keep up the good work, your channel is great! (And thoses T-shirt at wild weasel are rad too, especially the HUDs)

Who else was watching on another device and doing it pratically.Thank you GS.Also love the merch.

[mattmetzler]

Thank you!! I finally got into DCS two weeks ago. Been learning the F-16. This tutorial cleared up a lot for me. Simple, and to the point. Thank you !

19:55 I love your thoroughness, m’kay <3

[veczz]

Checking some new comments to see if this is outdated or anything and noticed you still respond to people's questions even now. Shows you really care about your viewers. I appreciate your videos and efforts, cheers GS.

[ted]

Hey Growling Sidewinder great and very informative video mate, me and many others through out the DCS community appreciate the time efforts you put into putting these videos out.
Cheers over and out

[Rojo-qdgt]

Finally, someone who is showing and teaching... And not flying through it so fast that you can't learn it... Thank you sir.

[rustyshackleford]

You are awesome at this. This can encourage and ease the learning curve for new comers. Thank you. The more people on the skies the better.

[avidgamer]

Is it strange to find this so fascinating even though i dont play?
I kinda treat it like a documentary but better... Now i can pretend to push all the wrong buttons next time im in the F16 on AceCombat 7 :)

[ramses]

Hey thanks for this video I have everything else in DCS but when it came to learning about how to use and understand the radar it seemed like a impossible task, but this video has been a major help thanks for taking the time to do this...

[arzhangsadeghi]

Some thing tells me you are going to have dogfight with f-18 soon and until that time I can't sleep,

[tbhockeyboy]

Man, wish you had more F-16 tutorials; this is miles better than anything else out there.

[MrPhantom]

Very detailed and thorough explanation of F-16 radar operations (for what we have now). You made it very easy to understand. Well done sir and thank you.
Looking forward to updates to this, once new features are added to the f-16 radar.

[juansebastianguerrerocrist]

It is always a good thing to sit down after work and watch one of your videos
