DCS F/A-18C Hornet | Training a Beginner How To Dogfight!

Today’s one on one training session was all about Basic Fighter Maneuvers or as it's more commonly known, Dogfighting! This student is a very experienced DCS World pilot with hundreds of hours in Helos, but only very recently switched over to fixed wing flying. After getting rather humbled on multiplayer servers flying the Hornet, he decided to come to me for a tune up on how to fly and fight in the DCS F/A-18C Hornet in both the PvP and PvE Environment. We first started with an engagement with no coaching or teaching to get a baseline of his skills and see where we needed to get started and once that was established we hopped right into the lesson explaining the concepts and the art of the dogfight from flying skills, to one & two circle flow, energy management, scissors, Yo-Yo’s and much more! It was really amazing to see the huge leaps in skill and knowledge my student made during this two hour lesson, and it's always rewarding as an instructor seeing a student get out of his own cockpit and start to think about the big picture around them. I think you’ll also notice an awesome change in his confidence through the tone of his voice towards the end of the lesson! Teaching another DCS World player how to dogfight can be a tricky balance between teaching academic knowledge, adjusting flying skills and flying your aircraft in a way to force your student into seeing your learning objectives while also punishing their mistakes without making them feel bad of course, and all this rolled together makes these BFM training sessions some of the most fun for me as the instructor!
