Would like to mention that if you’re engaging with a Fox 3, speed and altitude are your friends. I would suggest hitting at least angels 35 at a speed of at least 400 knots. It will be incredibly difficult to evade while attacking at those parameters and you will be able to engage at a much further distance. You will appreciate this advice when going against a pair of flankers.

I've played DCS for about 60hrs so far and most peoples videos are heavily complicated or they don't explain things concisely.
They take way too long to show you the functionality and it's possible uses.
In essence, they speak as if you have prior knowledge of these systems and are just translating it to another airframe.
Thanks for your quick and straightforward explanations.
It's much easier to get started with some knowledge and learn as you go and discover additional functionality rather than study a 700 page guide to the letter.
Thank you.

Man I am so grateful to have found your channel! your explanations are simply perfect to understand, and for a doctor that works all his time in the hospital this is a lifesaver my friend!
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to live my sweet dream of experiencing all this greatness, I hope you continue releasing noob tutorials for F16!

[Chleosl]

This is literally the best guide i ever seen. Explaining the necessary clearly.

[jahanlon]

The same week I start playing DCS again, there's F-16 updates and tutorials. It's a sign

[rreprah]

This guy is like my favorite dude ever. Whenever I take a break from DCS and just need a refresher on the basics, I can always count on these videos to give me exactly what I am looking for.

Great videos man keep it up! I would like to mention that when u are in RWS mode and bug a target. U can also "soft lock" as long as u don't TMS UP again and go into a STT (single target track). So if u only TMS UP once in RWS they won't get a lock warning either. (ofcourse they get a warning when the missile goes pitbull but thats the same with TWS)

EDIT: Conclusion. I always prefer RWS over TWS because of the stronger track im getting on the target. This is because of how the radar acts in the 2 different modes. The only time I personally switch to TWS is when I have to deal with more then 2 targets. (max bugs on different targets in RWS = 2) also a BUG is a "softlock" and a STT is a "lock". If anyone wants to know more information about the F16's new VSR radar mode hit me up! 

Thanks for helping the community grow BogeyDope! ur a legend.

You are my go-to channel for learning the viper. Keep up the good work!

[KillerKev]

OUTSTANDING! No BS, right to the point, no goofy accents. Thank you.

[skaylars]

Not sure why I hadn't found you earlier. No bollocks, clear explanations and damn straight to the point.

Love the explanation of all the abbreviations!

[connormchugh]

Love your vids man!! Some of the best tutorials for DCS that I have seen. Short, precise and no BS. Awesome job and keep up the work!!

[Rawkus]

Awesome tutorial man. Nice, simple and to the point

[mungoprus-shearer]

wow first video i found that properly explained it, and quickly too, without intro stuff, thanks man

[milkoil]

Hey thanks. I particularly love the controls section of what controls you'll need mapped. Makes things so much easier coming from an absolute noob and mapping as I go. Thabks man.

[caspargors]

Perfect timing just got myself the Viper! Thanks for the nice and simple explanation.

[arturts]

Man, finally I found a blogger who has the same HOTAS, so I can bind my buttons similarly :))) I'm pretty new to F1t6, so I really need to understand all the systems. Thanks a lot for your vids

[ObiWanStromboli]

Crazy how after all these years the F-16 is a lean mean killing machine.

[stephanejulien]

J'adore ton ouvrage ! merci beaucoup pour cette aide !!

[StevenRogers-mero]

I've learned so much from watching your videos. Well done!

[firecatflameking]

Awesome tutorial man, straight to the point!
