DCS F-16C Speeds to fly: T/O, Climb, Cruise, Corner, TAS vs. CAS

Practical advice on speeds to fly in the DCS F-16C

more of this type of content please. I can look in the manual to find out what all the buttons and switches do but what I want to learn is how to actually fly.

The AoA and Bore Cross to regain speed visual cue references are gold!

Not sure where you suddenly came from but that level of information for sure gets a subscriber.

Putting the flight marker on the boresight to get massive speed back during maneuver is a huge take away for from this video. Thank you for sharing.

Man I wish I had this video a long time ago. I mostly figured this out by a long trial and error process. This video is great!

[nickyp]

That point about fuel flow/altitude and speed blew my mind. I had no idea it matched based on speed, no matter the altitude.

One of your vids was recently recommended to me, very happy to have found this channel!

Thank you for another quality upload!

Very interesting indeed, been trying to figure this out on my own.. good to know i wasnt too far off.

Dude! Great info! I been wondering how to manage my speed, fuel, and trying to find out best cruise speed and altitude. Seems like I run out of fuel so fast in the Viper.

Love your videos. Small addition to F16 speeds - Glide Speed is @ 7% AoA.

Thanks once again! I was always confused why i had to push my afterburner to maintain the same speed when at higher alts. i never understood that about true and calc air speed!

[mikeji]

Thank you for your video, it’s very informative and cleared so many questions in my head! Thanks!

[RedBravo]

Most interesting and very helpful. Thanks.

Corner speed is actually the name for the minimum speed where max instantaneous rate is achieved, used as a guideline for achieving min turn radius. Max sustained rate is achieved at speeds where Ps=0, which I don't recall there being a specific name for other than "best maneuvering speed".

Gold nuggets throughout that video. New subscriber here. Thanks!

[thomasengland]

Wow great video. I always have trouble turning and losing air speed

[casarr]

Thats some art in piloting :D Good job!

[joshuadelorimier]

this was the video I was looking for thank you

Thank you for a clean and nice video. Missing climb but i see you commented that below.
One thing i would like to stress, and you are briefly talk about is to not climb too high and get energy starved. Something i see online quite a bit lots of bags, and trying to fly too high with a very draggy load, with the plane hanging on it's ass with a high AoA and the plane just being slow due to the added drag.
Standard IRL A2A is only a centerline bag if needed and the Wng bags are standard for A2G configurations that need loitertime over manouverability.

And for GS you really don't need bags unless you use what i call concorde technique. Where you use bags to go full AB to around 50k feet for a massive missile range advantage. At that altitude you will have to run full AB, but you will consume about the same as at 30k full mill. Boring strat but safer for new players :D

Great info, subscribed! I've had the F-16 for a bit but the Hornet has been my main ride. Since I got a tip to take curves off the Viper my interest is rekindled. Good plane to learn some of these fundamentals in.

[alix]

these tips are nutty THANK YOU GREATLY!

EDIT: because of that I will turn off adblock and refresh
