DCS F-16C Viper | Basic Training for Beginners!

Today’s one on one training session was all about the basics of flying and fighting in the DCS F-16C Fighting Falcon. This student is very new to DCS World and wanted to get the basics of the F-16C Viper down so he could better participate in Multiplayer missions and servers with his friends who are DCS World veterans at this point.

In the lesson we went over communicating with ATC, Taxiing, takeoffs, navigation, autopilot usage, unguided munitions employment, the basics of landing the F-16C and much more! While we definitely had a few helmet fires he did really well and I could see his confidence growing by the end of the lesson, especially as he started to understand the Roll In maneuver more and more!

Also Please keep in mind guys, that I do one on one training sessions as a perk of supporting the channel with $15 or more on Patreon!

props to your student willing to be taught basics in public view, and props to you for clearly being a constructive and patient instructor.

[CategoricalImperative]

That engine spooling explanation for landing was GOLD. Thank you.

[xcifer]

One of the best explained videos i've ever seen in DCS! every new DCS F-16 player should seriously see this video. Thanks Spudknocker!

[EvansRG]

This is super helpful. I have about 80 hours in the DCS F16 and consider myself proficient, but I learned a lot from this video. Would appreciate more.

[thereisnospoon]

Perfect timing, I had bought this awhile ago and was considering actually learning it. Can't wait to watch!

[angryginger]

I'm glad I found this. All of the little tips that aren't explained in the tutorials are gold. I've been reading the manual and Chuck's guide, but it's hard to retain a lot of that information without situational context to go with it. The manual and written guides are nice for reference when there's something specific I want to know, but this format is much better for learning, at least for me. Thanks for posting this stuff!

Thank you so much for putting this on YouTube just now getting back into my F-16 as a beginner. That’s the most detailed information I’ve seen so far. I’m grateful that you took the time and patience to help us all out again thank you.

Immediately subbed for that INS groundspeed readout on the DED. I'm just starting DCS as well, and this content is phenomenal so far. Little things like that are so incredibly helpful.

Great video. Very calm and relaxed teaching. It's brain overload when learning these jets. I have helped a few people get in the air on dcs, pairs take off, formation etc. really helps to be calm as they can really get tied up and overloaded. Well done to the guy, he did well

[GSTON-IV]

Great instruction, sir. Very well articulated and patient, which can be really important for a novice learner in a complex situation like this. I am going to be watching more of your videos to learn about flying the Falcon. Cheers!

[jameswilliams]

Please post them!! I learn so much from watching them!!! Thank you Sir

[jimhinkle]

Awesome job Spud!!! I'm still building my Sim, but I watch your videos learning all i can. Thanks for what you do!

[dimitriskatsoulis]

Happy he is flying with the camo of 330SQ of the Hellenic Air Force! Good job Spud!

[headupeyesforward]

Nice work. Just started flying the Viper again. Having started DCS in the A10C for sure helped with the Viper. Good to see newer pilots getting into DCS...keep em comin

[JunglecatBlessing]

Enjoyable to watch. I never had the opportunity to play yet. Its really cool. Thanks for showing this.

[theanalogkid]

SPUD!!! Thank you SO much for this, exactly what I needed as I'm just getting started in the F-16. WOO HOO!

[VimyScout]

Just got the F-16 myself. Thank you for sharing this 🙏

[patches]

Thank you for this video both of you! I wanna finally take the plunge into DCS and this is a great video to start with

[elproducto]

This is amazing, I'm going to jump in and try and follow along while watching the video.
