AJS-37 Viggen Familiarization & Start-Up Tutorial | DCS | 2022

Over two years in the making we begin the first of our several part tutorial series on how to fly the Viggen. In this Zero to Hero tutorial series you'll be taught how to fly the Viggen intuitively, so rather than throw everything and the kitchen sink at you to learn how to do anything; in this tutorial series we will cover relevant information you need when you need it.

**Please note this series is a Work In Progress. We are rushing to get the first three chapters released as these are not covered in our original 2018 Leadnap Gaming Viggen Tutorials, however please keep in mind this series will take a while to be fully released. The previous tutorials are still available and will work in the interim.**

In this tutorial we'll cover cockpit familiarization - the location of critical instruments and controls you'll need to fly the Viggen. Following that we being our first lesson: cold start. With almost 5 years of DCS Viggen experience Lead has broken down the start into both a scramble (quick) start that works for you 99% of situations, as well as a full long start with checks to various systems: helpful if you're playing with (random) system failures.

This series is also designed for you to return to previous videos and re-check sections you might need but not the whole thing. As such, see the chapters below for specific portions you may be looking for:

this is one of, if not the most in-depth Viggen introduction on YouTube. Well done sir! I like teaching vids like this a lot more than many of those 3 min long tutorials. I would not have known what 9099 actually means if not for this video. Thank you sir!

You're back! Missed your DCS stuff, always stuck out as extremely clear. Very calming too. Can't wait for the weapons tutorials as well.

[MikeBrown]

Keep thinking about getting into DCS, I’ve got sticks and pedals now.

While I don't play DCS, these videos seem to be very thorough.

I deeply love "course carrot" XD

I'm always impressed by the realism of these simulators.

Your Viggen videos have been extremely helpful. I think it's the module I've picked up the fastest because of your tutorials. Cheers!

[luftwolf]

Such a detailes sim... I wish I had that thing during the 90ies when I was quick enough for such games... ;-)

[darkstar]

Oh shit! You make DCS content too?! YAAAY!

I believe that your reference location in your KB checklist for the oxygen switch and the Kontroll switch are wrong. Also, I have taken your advice and will not be using my overly complicated HOTAS command cheat sheet and will be using your diagram with a few little changes. Great video.

very nice tutorial, please keep making them, the most difficulty i have is in the use of weapons.

Flight sims have come a long way since "Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe" and Dynamix's "Aces over Europe"

How would DCS compare to Flight Sim? It seems to have some similar levels of realism (when adjusting for date of creation)
