*This film has been made using in-game footage from DCS WORLD by Eagle Dynamics. Original soundtrack, sound and visual effects have been added for historical accuracy and dramatic purposes.* Hello everyone! DCS: THE RIGHT STUFF (12 minutes) took me 2 years and 210 shots to complete, and is made in memory of the great Chuck Yeager. It's also dedicated to the entire DCS World community. As The Right Stuff original feature film from 1983 is one of my favorite movie of all time, I always wanted to know what really happened to Yeager during his zoom climb attempt with the NF-104A 56-762 on December 10, 1963... 59 years ago today!!! As an editor/director IRL, and with the powerful graphics and camera tools from DCS World, I saw a great opportunity to deliver a story that could make you, the audience, understand a little bit better what was the feeling of being a test pilot during the 60s. With quite a lot of historical research, and with the precious help from the VSN team, we managed to deliver a nice NF-104A Mod with accurate skins for DCS :) Again, I can't thank you enough for your precious support , it means a lot to me. Special thanks go to the mighty VSN team and all my cast and crew. And with the icing on the cake, the movie is narrated by the great Vincent "Jell-O" Aiello from The Fighter Pilot Podcast. Have a good time, guys. Hope you'll enjoy. Fly safe, fly Metal.

I had the great good fortune to be stationed at Edwards Air Force Base in 1966 and 67, and I actually had an opportunity to get up close and personal to the nf-104. While I was walking to my shop one morning, it was just sitting there between the hangers and I had to walk right past it. Of course I had to stop and look at it, and do a walk-around. I always thought that the f-104 was one of the most beautiful airplanes ever built, but this thing was so impressive with its reaction nozzles on the wings and in the nose, and the rocket installed above the exhaust pipe was just incredible. Your video was one of the best recreations of how the nf-104 operated. Thank you very much, for bringing back that memory.

I was astonished when told by a flight line engineer attached to the NF-104 project that the flat spin was actually part of the planned, normal mission profile. The idea was to take the aircraft up to max altitude and speed on the engine until it flamed out and then ignite the rocket engine and climb until the fuel exhausted. The reaction control jets were never intended to do more than minor adjustments to pitch, roll and yaw at max altitude. I believe that they only put out about 100-200 newtons of force. By comparison, punching someone as hard and fast as you can with your bare hand creates several thousand newtons. After rocket fuel was exhausted, the pilot was expected to take the NF-104A into a flat spin and attempt to relight the jet engine once the altitude was down to around 30,000 feet or so. That left basically seconds of safety margin if the engine did not relight, and the normal F-104s J-79 engines were known to have engine relight “challenges”. F-104s tend to fall like a rock when thrust is lost. It does not really glide. Thrust keeps it aloft. It takes the steady hand of an expert pilot to keep them in the air. The same engineer told me that the first time they tried this, they found that the tail feathers of the engine and the aft fuselage had been crushed like a beer can into a cone shape. The NF-104A must have almost looked like it had two nose cones. One in the front, one under the tail. Support structures had to be reworked to prevent it from happening again. Three NF-104As were created. One crashed, one had an engine explosion but still landed safely. No one dared to take the third up much more after that, because of all rather obvious the “holes” in the flight performance envelope. Extremely dangerous in all respects, even for a planned, normal mission, but it was the best semi-out-of-the-box tech solution we had at the time to explore high altitude aircraft performance until other dedicated aircraft could be designed and created.

@@SloaneLasers Similar but not the same. To my knowledge, The NF-104 had 13 rockets- 1 for thrust, the rest for RCS. The Gemini? “Two separate systems were required: the orbit attitude and maneuvering system (OAMS) and the reaction or reentry control system (RCS). The OAMS, located in the adapter section, had four functions: (1) providing the thrust required to enable the spacecraft to rendezvous with the target vehicle; (2) controlling the attitude of the spacecraft in orbit; (3) separating the spacecraft from the second stage of the launch vehicle and inserting it in orbit; and (4) providing abort capability at altitudes between 300,000 feet and orbital insertion. The OAMS initially comprised 16 ablative thrust chambers; eight 25-pound thrusters to control the spacecraft attitude in pitch, yaw, and roll axes; and eight 100-pound thrusters to maneuvre the spacecraft axially, vertically, and laterally. Rather than providing a redundant system, only critical components were to be duplicated. The RCS was located forward of the crew compartment in an independent RCS module. It consisted of two completely independent systems, each containing eight 25-pound thrusters very similar to those used in the OAMS. The purpose of the RCS was to maintain the attitude of the spacecraft during the reentry phase of the mission.” -the astronautix website AKA Encyclopedia Astronautica

Dad was a private pilot for 48 years. Went to every airshow imaginable, including Paris. Met Chuck on several occasions. Ironically, he passed away on Dec 7, Pearl Harbor Day. My birthday. I have a hand carved high detail Normandy Invasion P-51 with all the stores on the wings, signed by Chuck. letter from him, in his handwriting, for authenticity. He had signed the wing of the P-51. It was his second flight that day with the trainer. The first one before breakfast went great. Bad probs on the second of the day. RIP Chuck.

Very good recreation. Much more accurate than most I have seen. Yeager's autobiography indicates that the rocket was not ignited until after the 70 degree pitch up maneuver, and his initial zoom run to Mach 2 was run on jet power at 37,000 feet. But everything else looks right on. FYI, Chuck's chase pilot that day was Bud Anderson in a T-33, but Bud was already in the air on another assignment when the planned chase plane had to abort for mechanical problems, so Bud volunteered and took over.

Back when I was around 12 or so, I was playing an air combat sim on my PC. Back then, I was getting into such games, but I was pretty bad at them. Before then, I was more into space combat games like X-wing vs TIE Fighter (and I still largely am), so I was more attuned to those kinds of controls and had a lot to unlearn and learn for air combat. At the time of this minor story, I was finally getting the hang of air combat, finally growing familiar with all of the controls - or at least those of this particular game - and finally starting to get the methods and tactics down. At this point, I started raising the difficulty of the game, which mainly consisted of "easier flying/targeting/etc.," unlimited ammo and fuel, invincibility, and the like. I had shed the invincibility, ammo, and fuel, so it was a matter of bringing it into more of the realm of realism (or what could be considered realistic for a game first released in 1999). I was playing one of the game's Vietnam War missions, and I was flying an F-4E. Don't ask me how this happened, but I ended up chasing a MiG-21 up to an altitude around 40,000 feet (again, don't ask). I managed to shoot the MiG down with my last Sparrow missile, but the instant the missile struck, I entered a stall and fell away. Unfortunately for me, I did not have getting out of a stall down yet, and after a series of mistakes, I ended up putting the Phantom into a flat spin. It was quite the terrifying experience for me (to reiterate, I was around 12, and I was a bit on the dumb side at that age), and nothing I could think of was getting me out of it (again, I was a dumb 12-year-old). As I fell below 10,000 feet, I heard the in-game incoming missile warning. I barely noticed the RWR, and it showed an incoming SAM. As it was still a game, I launched countermeasures, but my stall meant that I did not break the lock. I punched out of the Phantom at around 6,000 feet, and just before the Phantom would have hit the ground, the SAM struck and destroyed it. It may have been a computer game that made up all of my experience, up to and including the flat spin, but it made it pretty clear to me then that flying any plane but especially a high-speed fighter was no joke. It was quite the sobering experience, even if it was ultimately just a game. From that, I can only imagine what Chuck Yeager went through and what was going through his mind in the middle of it all. Mission reports, interviews, and re-creations can only impart so much, so there will always be some aspect(s) that very few others beyond Yeager and the rest of his kind could ever truly know, understand, or even imagine - and my little story could, at most, be described as a drop in the bucket when compared to the experiences of those like Yeager, and that is undoubtedly being grossly generous to my story. Still, this little film did a pretty damn good job of conveying a sense of thrill, excitement, and perhaps most importantly, the real clear and present dangers of high-speed flying, especially in experimental/training aircraft like the NF-104A. Kudos to all of the efforts that were put into this. Sure, there may have been a full movie of the same name, and it is a must-see for any aviation enthusiast, but there are production limits, particularly physical ones, to what can be captured on film. For this portrayal of this fateful mission of Yeager's, I would like to think that this little film brought even more pride to his legacy.

Wow, easily one of the best DCS videos ever made. Oh, and my father flew in one of Yeager's squadrons. I'll share this with him, he'll love it.

A common occurrence during my childhood in the late 1960s riding horseback somewhere between the San Joaquin River and the Diablo Range was the almost daily occurrence of sonic booms and contrails in the daytime sky.

hello. to use the material of that time, these guys had a certain courage. i myself was a fighter pilot, then a test pilot. i also flew at high altitude (never more than 50,000 feet), but with much more efficient equipment ! the animation is pretty good. on the other hand, when you get up there, you're glued to the chair, you don't turn your head like the guy does ! 😄 we also go through a whole bunch of states, but which are of course difficult to describe. finally, well done
