Holy crap your tutorial videos are amazing!! I've watched a bunch now and I just can't get enough, thank you so much for making them

..I have to say man, your videos are amazing. Far better then any I have seen in a long time.

Thank you so much for your efforts! Your well made videos are priceless for our training sessions. We are able to understand through the graphics.

Playing the Mig Killers campaign by Reflected in DCS at the moment and one of the first lessons in the campaign (Top gun syllabus) is how to use barrel rolls to prevent an overshoot by the faster Phantom on a tight turning Mig whilst retaining speed and energy. I just couldn't get my head around it until I watched this video, thank you so much!

This is exactly the tutorial I needed to see. This is going to be a game changer for me. thank you so much!

[Joe]

It’s really fluid when executed flawlessly.

[mckseal]

I honestly think this is your best (and most useful) tutorial yet. Cheers

[lumiiv]

That's excellent! Now it really is about rolls to the lag. Thank you!

[mariusz]

Excellent video as always, I'm glad that there are still new lessons, so much you can learn from them. More please.

[odonovan]

Dayum, it's about time for another of these! Welcome back, BFM. It's been over a month.

seeing the 190 cockpit and knowing that you are going to pull back on the stick awakened my ptsd

[stigmautomata]

This is awesome. I can think of a number of situations in which I fumbled an initial advantage by *not* doing this

[TheRaptorXX]

Brilliant stuff! Another one that I find meself doing without thinking about it. Thinking about it before doing it is the subtle difference. Thanks as ever Req!!

[robhamper]

Great job Req. Looking forward to trying and practicing these.

[birbtw]

Awesome video, as always.

Have you ever considered a BFM piece on unloaded maneuvers? Nobody else seems to talk about them, and they can be life savers!

[_Meriwether]

Excellent as ever. You'll see DerSheriff doing the lag manoever all the time because he loves to dive on people - if he doesn't score a decisive kill he'll perform this manoever to maintain engagement and awareness and try again, and again, and again, until you go down in flames.

Thanks for the vid ACTL!

Dude, your tutorials are my go-to for learning this game. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I have lots of trouble doing vertical loops as I tend to stall out. Is more power required or is it an AOA issue?

[MrNonaste]

I'm new and these lessons are extremely informative. I'm a long, long way from attempting multiplayer. Must stick to single player to learn and practice. I wonder. Do AI, set on ace, utilize these maneuvers when doing a one on one mission?

[RitchieMatos]

what does he mean when he says 'align the fuselage' please.
