If you’re going from Huey to Hind don’t forget the torque reaction from the blades is reversed in the Hind. Huey blades spin counter clockwise, Hind spins the opposite. Really screws you up if you got muscle memory for a heavy left boot in the Huey
Love to see you guys in the HIND! GR-Videos got me to look in the direction of DCS and when I first saw the pre-order Video of the HIND, the guys form ED got me... May I ask, what you recommend more for a bloody noob in flight sims who thought to start right with helicopters... "Get a head tracker" or "Get some pedals and stop trying it with the wannabe-rudder on your Thrust-stick!" Would absolutely love to "live-learn" from you guys! But... yours are way the best tutorials!!!
Hey, I am with the Grim Reapers Gravity Helicopters. The best thing is to make sure you have a Good Hotas ( at least an x-52 bare minimum ) Rudder Petals and Definetly Head Tracking.
@@Pimps-R-us hey, thanks! That's what I thought... you can't fly properly without looking where you want to fly to... doing this with the 8-way knobs on ny stick... it's doable but a bit difficult for me. And a heli-pilot seems to be constantly working with the pedals. Doing this with the "pedal-switch" on my throttle... this is really a challenge ;)
Ah, I was flying the huey, and somehow I struggle to keep control over the mi24 just after take-off. The aircraft seems to fly around in some random directions before before it hovers. Thx for the info 😆
HEY I AM NEW AND I HAVE A QUESTION AHM HOW CAN I CREATE A WAR LIKE YOU DID RUSSIAN FLEET VS USA FLEET FOR EXAMPLE I DONT WANT TO PLAY I JUST WANT TO SPAWN BOTS AND U KNOW LET THEM DO WHAT I WANT SO PLEASE ANSWER 🙂☢️☢️
Which keyboard key to retrieve the parking brake and which key to re-trim? Why do we need to re-trim after 30 knots change in speed, what u said @9:12? Is this only apply to Mi-24P or all helicopters?
Only thing bad about the helis is they are hell on the joystick. I jump around a lot betreen prop, jets and helis but if I am strictly helis I swap out my TM Hotas for my trusty old X52 Saitek.
I remember getting my Gateway desktop with a Voodoo graphics card thinking I was top dog!!! Was blown away with Longbow 2. The golden years of PC gaming.
I spent all night crashing and being unable to control #dcsworld hind module. I followed everything here.. except as soon as my wheel left the ground: I spin to the left out of control, as if i had left rudder to 1,000%. I tried everything: change binding, add deadzone, change sensitivity... nothing... I could not take off without losing control. After being fed up, I tried taking the tutorial. Everything worked as expected. No spinning out of control upon takeoff. I had been using "Instant Action". So I went and created a map of my own... Same startup, same map (nevada), same everything. Suddenly everything was working as it should be. What an absolutely terrible bug! I confirmed this by going back into "create instant action" mission 2 more times and yet again spun out of control upon takeoff. Ending up in crashing the hind. So then I went and created a new mission in the editor: once more: smooth sailing. I spent 4 hours last night trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. ☹
I had this with the cold start and taxi mission today. As soon as my front wheel stopped touching the ground the hind started nose diving to the left to end up on it's side. I was pleased to see that the hind is indestructible in that tutorial mission so i had plenty of time to try and get it right without restarting. I did not get it right. After about 30 minutes of frustration, trying different things to figure out what i was doing wrong i quit the mission and started the takeoff mission and i took off without a problem. Well, in comparison to the previous mission. I even performed a successful controlled crash. I lost my tail but i could walk away from it so it was a good landing. So yea, i'm not sure what was wrong but it was really annoying. I'm glad to read i'm not the only one experiencing this even though it's 2 years later and it still happens which is kind of sad.
Cap, If you turn on Autopilot Hover mode ( LCtrl+Lshift+U defualt command ) after turning on collective brake while hovering it will put you at a perfect hover and use less controls sir.
Ah, the Hind. Finally. I'm not ready to buy yet, but I'll be swatting bothersome flies eventually. Been waiting for this for ages. Was hoping to have upgraded my HOTAS by now. Sadly it's not happened. Looking forward to all the videos!
@@arohibaloda3113 have the standalone version of DCs. You can transfer all your steam purchases if your currently run DCS from steam to the standalone version for free but not the other way around.. It's worth it as you always get the best deals with the standalone version and your purchases count as points that can go towards future purchases www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/personal/licensing/trial/
I did not know about the collective brake, thank you!. One question, the SPUU is basically used to pre-activate the heading autopilot, right? what is its real function?
@@grimreapers amazing sim though and great video...there are some things we do in the real aircraft that you guys should incorporate. Do you have an actual aircraft checklist?
I think the flight model is too twitchy at this early stage. The Hind has a huge top heavy mass and huge rotors. These shouldn't translate to a twitchy aircraft. Does the Hercules have a twitchy flight envelope?

Its just a hard aircraft to fly i don't know how much times my blades broke off LOL I still love it! Just have to play around with the controls.
its my first non FC3 module, and it feels intuitive and a dream to fly for me, only difficult part is tactics and weapons usage for me

The easiest way to fly Russian choppers in DCS is just to do the opposite of what you'd do in the Huey, as the rotor spins in the opposite direction.

"14:28 Landing" (video description), yeah, what an EXCELLENT landing... ROFL
Like the way toilets flush the opposite way in Australia?
@@carrisasteveinnes1596 that’s false, an urban legend. It’s all to do with toilet design parameters. And nothing to do with Coriolis
Get's nostalgic after seeing this mighty machine.... getting back to memories..
HEY I AM NEW AND I HAVE A QUESTION
AHM HOW CAN I CREATE A WAR LIKE YOU DID RUSSIAN FLEET VS USA FLEET FOR EXAMPLE I DONT WANT TO PLAY I JUST WANT TO SPAWN BOTS AND U KNOW LET THEM DO WHAT I WANT SO PLEASE ANSWER 🙂☢️☢️

That Helped A LOT, thank you Guys

You mean premature wear? due to the inherently unstable dynamics.
plz drop the hope everyone is doing very well, people mostly don't do very well, and you keep reminding them about it
The heli herself approves this guide cyka!
Man, what's up with the crypto bots in the comment section? F#ck that s#it
This makes me want to play longbow 2
All of Jane's Sims were amazing. I miss USAF and playing the Vietnam scenarios.
I remember getting my Gateway desktop with a Voodoo graphics card thinking I was top dog!!! Was blown away with Longbow 2. The golden years of PC gaming.
They're called anti torque pedals with rotorcraft.. Not rudder pedals
Beautifull chopper. Would love to fly it but heli's and me just don't go together.
Cap on your cyclic use just your finger tips on the control. This will help you keep its movements into small.
Him lands like a normal person me comes in at high speeds and decides to land like a plane
lol, yes I still do it the ARMA way.....
Reaper WTF in a helo tutorial you move right into the downwash of another helo LOL.
Great video guys. RC seems to be Caps lab rat...very comical. Looking forward to more vids on the Hind.

You can try any module including the hind for free for up to 14 days currently.. Also a slight discount currently
@@justinspirational how to get free trial?

Damn Liquid! nobody got that reference! Until wears later.

Not sure yet sorry.
best advice i had, Fly it like a plane.
Just got the Hind, very interesting :)
super video but what I understand is without pedals I think I cant controlright way ? I control F 15 and take off is much easy then helicopter....
Thank you so much for this video!
Lots of inaccuracies in this video. We fly the real thing so if you'd like help, contact me.
Thanks!

@@johntotty4271 you can if you want to but because its a sim most people to the bare minimum to go and blow things up
Is it a good idea to get a Collective stick for your throttle station for Helos or can yo umake do with a regular throttle no problem?
I am having a bad time trying to make this heli work in keyboard, any controls suggestion?
I think the flight model is too twitchy at this early stage. The Hind has a huge top heavy mass and huge rotors. These shouldn't translate to a twitchy aircraft. Does the Hercules have a twitchy flight envelope?
That’s what I was thinking. It seems the mass is too low to me. At least compared to the Huey which handles predictably.
Now the vid is listed as public, hooray!
Really helpful as always Thanks Cap
Finally!
Hey Cap, how do you get rid of the UI elements on both top corners of the screen? It's driving me crazy.
right CTRL + Enter/Return
@@grimreapers Thank you!
This can be done without trim. Just need practice. You've always admitted you were not a good rotary pilot
But why? Trimming in a helicopter is a thing.
Sometimes you have no choice. I recommend DCS Gazelle, there is no trim that works the same way as in Hind.
