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.

I don't know if "fighter pilot's voice" is a thing, but this dude has it.

Great Tutorial! I have another tip. The radar has a tracking mode for ground moving targets. If you put the tdc over the small box and then press Sensor select switch right again, the radar will track the target and you can slew the TGP exactly to the tracked vehicle. Very useful for using LMAVs, but beware, if you fly over the target - which is necessary for LGBs - the radar will lost the track. So after getting the the track, put the TGP into automatic mode with the same method as in the video and you are good to bomb it 🙂

[radsy]

Thanks mate, I was rusty and this got me going again. Absolute chad.

[Gryphon]

I think that was a great demonstration. That stuff always happens to me and it's nice to see a tutorial where it kind of goes wrong but still works out okay.

[amProFilms]

Your videos are super helpful! Short and to the point but still being detailed enough to understand what your doing and why, love it! thank you so much!

[pinkfloyd]

Great info for putting the code in all GBUs in one shot. Excellent! 🍺

[antsinmyeyesjohnson_]

Love the losing gmt at the last second, a true DCS guide. Awesome tut.

Would you be able to do a dumb bomb in ccip and auto tutorial? I cant seem to hit the broad side of a barn. By the numbers, at proper speed and angels 🙏

[bobr]

Great vid…your tutorials are fantastic work!

[Qark]

"You can change it on the fly"! hilarious my man!!

[sisser]

best tutorial man ! very easy to follow and clear as daylight ! good job mate

[CocoDave]

That was really well done and actually losing lock made for some excitement and good pickup on the laser again!

[slyderace]

2:00 I did NOT know this either! :D

Such a better/easier way to enter the codes!

[keithbriscoe]

Actually a very good demo since thats exactly what happens in my limited experience.

[Rogeroverandout]

Awesome dude ur the champ great tutorials keep up the good work 👍

[DumdumDog]

When I go to air to ground mode I still can’t arm the laser

[VVitchaven]

Thank You VERY MUCH! THATS A TUTORIAL! That lazy amateur grim repears should learn from you.

[yfbb]

@TrickerDCS if u have mismatched Lcode, there will be a flasing boxed [CODE] on the HUD

[GeorgeFrost-ny]

When I try to input the code, I press enter and error flashes (1:33)

[smacman]

Nice tut. How are you zooming in and out on the TPOD?

[IceyJones]

thats why you fly 45° off the target after a drop and orbit, so the TGP has a better, more steady view and does not flip, that messes up the track
