Desync presents the biggest issue right now, my CPG hellfires all miss. The solution is supposed to be storing a target waypoint and slave the tads back to it before firing.
Excellent guide. As someone else mentioned optimizing your FLIR level and gain is a huge part of being an effective CPG trying to search and acquire targets. Great content keep it up!
Man, thanks so much. You and a couple of other guys are what keeps me buying modules for this hand. Knowing i won't have to wait to long to learn by your awesome video's. I just picked up this modules and am flying and keybind up, cheers sir 🍻.
This was excellent. I get things done a little differently and use a lot less binds and so forth, but after looking at some of the binds you’ve got, I’ll probably go in and add some. The Slave/Deslave bind being one of them. Great stuff brother.
@@CasmoTV Hahaha, don't get me wrong. Replaying every AH video from you the last days to hammer knowledge into my overdosed brain. Love you folks. Waited since 1995 for this to happen.
learning about TEDAC from you! im making notes. going to make a video with my DIY TEDAC once i finish studying your video.. thanks for making this easy to digest!
Amazing video Sir, wish I had seen this yesterday as I spent 3 hours in the front seat with a friend flying and I was not able to hit a single target with Hellfire...so hopefully next Friday!!
I'd love to see more of these "best practices" videos of what good effective CPG/Pilot work entails. It's one thing to know how to do these things, it's entirely another to know how to do them as effectively as possible.
@@TrickerDCS You will have to talk to my lawyer. I am also always happy to support my fellow content creators. I am looking forward to improving on my own current video format I have uploaded and, in the future, trying to create content as good as yours in the long term.
I tell ya, I've watched EVERY video I could find on the CPG and this is the best one I've seen to date!! Great job buddy! Your video is so good thought that I've saved it in my Apache playlist for others to reference :) I'm doing a live stream tonight that shows off the same skills you just demonstrated, but at night :P It should be a good time :)
Omg I did not remember half the shit I learned and had a brain fart. I also had a headache before I started streaming so the flight didn't go well. Lol I'll share you the link to tomorrow's stream once I've reviewed the content a bit more tonight.
@@TrickerDCS th-cam.com/video/J5ZSPgiizcY/w-d-xo.html This is the video where I go a bit over everything you taught us in this video. It's not a very pretty video - I was lost at some points but I do go over the TSD and TADS a bit and how to use it practically :) My next stream will be better :P
Waiting for the hotfixes - we have really been trying the coop and work arounds but the bugs and desync are killing it. Great module and it’s early access so waiting is fine.
I have found to minimise dsync issues both crew need to be slotted into an aircraft and perform a cold start. After we did that the dsync Issues went away and we had good shacks with hellfires on hoggit GAW server
Nice work tricker! Don't worry, in no time you'll embrace the Xbox controller for the TEDAC, and eventually that'll turn into full-time DCS couch gaming with a gamepad
Good CPG video!! I copeid all your Warthog joystick/throttle assignments. My only question is for all the Short-Long commands for all four modes.... where and how are the those commands accomplished?? Keyboard a open Warthog hat or 4-way switch?????? Thank you!
how can i lock tads into ground so that i can move that. Now always when unslaving from targetpoint cross / cam starts to move with helo more or less all the time so that targeting is pretty much impossible. is only way really manually just move and make new target point and slave and fire? Is only way to get cam staying pointing same area in the ground making new target point-> slave? :o
I dont seem to be able to switch to TADS, whenever i press the button; i hear a click but nothing happens, camera still moving instead of staying sticked to the tedac
Nice video. I did a direct rout and after that the Apache went to the next 5 way-points automatically. I'm unable to reproduce that procedure. Any ideas how to recreate that.
I'm honestly still fine tuning my Warthog at the moment for what feels best. I was going to bind my Xbox controller today so I could try that out and use my Warthog as a backup for the flight controls if the pilot gets killed. I'll see what I can do though
I second this im having a hard time getting everything set on my warthog with any kind of sensible setup. Seems like everything i try i tun out of binds or it just ends up not making sense and I end up forgetting. All i do is cpg in MP with a friend as the pilot
I did mention them but didn’t go to in depth on them on this tutorial. In the future if some things get fixed I’ll go more in depth with the spiny knobs
When you select a target on the TADS how do you lock it in so the camera stops moving? You were marking targets in a hover but what if you are moving and want the camera to track the target?
In multiplayer is there a way to Lock onto a target from the gunners seat as you can do when you are in the pilots seat (single player)and using George AI ?? In multiplayer and in the gunners seat I find it very difficult to hold the reticle on target if the pilot is not in a stable hover. LMC helps some but reticle will drift slowly form target. Thanks for your help!
As the CPG it's your job to maintain lock on the target, the pilot also needs to hold a stable hover bit yah there's no magical button. Gotta do some work 💪🏼
Thanks for the video - takes a lot of work to go back and forth between footage/clips and have just what you need as you edit to your narrative (or narrate to your edit haha). Good tips!! I keep "threatening" to make my own video too, since I also use a warthog, and want to incorporate an xbox controller. I want to show the controllers too...to help others but mostly to get it all down myself as well! I am just not confident enough with the actual flying and gameplay - yet! With your help we're getting better though!! Thanks again... Question - do you use the microstick on the throttle for your HOCAS? Is it stock, or did you upgrade it? Any tips on curves/settings for that little stinking stick?? Especially pressing it for cursor enter...grrrr
Hey really appreciate the comment! I still have the stock slew switch on my Warthog, though about getting that microstick though. My cursor is 5 dead zone and curve of 20
Very good tutorial, idk why but i set the gun to auto range and doesn't work very well i mean, even on a hover, at with the target just like you shoot there, in 2km range, i miss like crazy, hits everything but the dam target, can you belive i wasted all 300 rounds at a dam APC 2km away and did not destroyed it? Just insane i think is a heavy MP desync bug, cuz when i do it on the training works fine.
Still trying to figure out how/if there is even a way to set ACQ as PHS from pilots seat and as GHS from gunner seat. So far it seems to me that only the gunner can set PHS ACQ and only the pilot can set GHS ACQ. What if I as the pilot want to set a target point on my own LOS Or vice versa?
I haven’t tried from the pilot seat but as the CPG with Tad’s selected as sight symbology, you can select GHS, and then slave. You will move the Tads around with your helmet
What would your preferred way to communite a direction for the pilot (or maybe to a wingman)? I mean, the compass on the hmd does not rotate if I turn my head.
Great tutorial step bro, just what the community needs right now, be great to see more CPGs online!
Yes! We need some more step bros in the front!
I’m down for that!!
@@hammerofdavey you're dangerous up front.
yeah when they fix that desync it might even be fun to play as the CPG.....

Nice tutorial, jam packed with practical and useful tips, also very nice to see some aspects of real people cooperation in the pilot and CPG seat!
Amazing guide! Perfect tips and tricks that were right to the point. Thank you!
Better than the tutorials from Wags, Casmo and others. First time I really understand nearly everything. Thanks 🙏
Appreciate the compliment. Both those guys put out some great stuff. 💪🏼
If I had a voice like his I could do pluming instructions that would make panties drop.

Thanks Tricker helpful reinforcement to see whilst plucking up the courage to try online (also, calling it, easiest voice to listen to on youtube)
First video of yours i have seen, i found it exceptional.
Cheers dude!
This is EXACTLY what I need. Thank you very much!
Quality fella just what we need, i'm yet to play with the CPG side of things so this will be my goto guide.

Same issue, you need to store a target waypoint and slave tads to it before firing. This supposedly solves the desync bug. I'll try this tip today.

great tutorial, will give the cpg-ing a try
please do more videos you explain stuff really well by far the best online so far lol
Awesome video man. Explained things really simply and in a way I can actually understand 🤣 thanks.
Clear and concise tutorial, this really helped a great deal.......thank you!
Thanks, I've been trying to come up with my own common cpg bindings, this helps a lot!!!
Great tutorial. very clear, great eg. looking forward to the next. thanks
Thank you Tricker, very informative and helpful bro S!
Go get it mustang
@@TrickerDCS Oh I have the module if that's what you mean, I just haven't done the CP/G stuff that much yet
@@CrazyHorse104 haha, yah text is hard to read, I meant go out there and kick some ass 🔥🔥🔥
If you slew onto your target normally then hit the LMC button it will lock the reticule to that spot. Very handy.
Not working very well in multiplayer, causes desync
Nice vid....very informative and easy to follow keep them coming👍
Great job! As always.
Great Video Tricker. Now if I could get a buddy pilot that isn't all over the place with bad rudder control. haha
Thank you. Very clear instructions. You good.
Really nicely done!
Good stuff, thanks for upload!
Great guide Trick!
Thank you very much for this tutorial.
That will help a lot.

Needed this, thank you! About to jump in the front, tonight.
Go get it britchot!!
Great tutorial, many thanks!
8:20 nothing i do or press gets C-HMD off the screen. unclear what you are doing or what button you are pressing within the cockpit.
12:08 how do you get the IHADSS and TADS on at the same time?
Great video , clear and to the point Thanks
Nice video Tricker
Awesome guide
Awesome guide thank you
Nice tutorial. To the point!
Great Video! Thank you Sir :)
things been driving me nuts 5:40 now I know what I was doing wrong...totally forgot to arm the laser.
Can you play is with xbox controller?
Yes
Waiting for the hotfixes - we have really been trying the coop and work arounds but the bugs and desync are killing it.
Great module and it’s early access so waiting is fine.
I have found to minimise dsync issues both crew need to be slotted into an aircraft and perform a cold start. After we did that the dsync Issues went away and we had good shacks with hellfires on hoggit GAW server

Oh no....Tuuvas entered chat 🤣 he heard the word controller before the video was even posted.
@@RogueSpecterGamingOfficial I sensed a disturbance in the gamepad force :D
im new to this heli, it is so overwhelming but im getting there
12:07 is this working? I tried a few times and the dir of waypoints was independant from each seat.
Yah it’s working for both seats, been doing it all week
@@TrickerDCS Then it was a desync issue. Thanks.
Nicely done!
Great tutorial, effective
Brilliant thank you!!
Nicely done sir :)
Just got the Apache. I had to look up Tricker for a guide. Always a go to for great info, while having a hard on due to his sexy voice.
When I’m done with the holiday flying I’ll have some more stuff coming out

My only question is for all the Short-Long commands for all four modes.... where and how are the those commands accomplished?? Keyboard a open Warthog hat or 4-way switch?????? Thank you!

thanks Tricker
You could rename this video to : " The only CPG video you'll ever need "
Haha you will need more in the future
Im having a problem where when i try to slave, the tads camera just moves to a fixed position to where the helicopter moves
Nice video. I did a direct rout and after that the Apache went to the next 5 way-points automatically. I'm unable to reproduce that procedure. Any ideas how to recreate that.
Is there a way to stabilize the tads? ❤
As you have done this on a Warthog HOTAS, could you create a diagram of bindings please (like Chuck's Guides)? and push that out to us?
I'm honestly still fine tuning my Warthog at the moment for what feels best. I was going to bind my Xbox controller today so I could try that out and use my Warthog as a backup for the flight controls if the pilot gets killed. I'll see what I can do though

Maybe mention "LEV" and "GAIN" dials which are very useful for adjusting the FLIR target visibility?
I did mention them but didn’t go to in depth on them on this tutorial. In the future if some things get fixed I’ll go more in depth with the spiny knobs
First video that actually helped me. Thanks. Still, what do the other million buttons at the CPG-seat do ?
We will find out when it further progresses into a more advanced seat
How do you get to the grey boxed modifier shown on bottom left?
When you select a target on the TADS how do you lock it in so the camera stops moving? You were marking targets in a hover but what if you are moving and want the camera to track the target?

I prefer gamepad because it seems like the pilot dies if the helo takes any damage, and you need to be able to grab the controls.
Very great tutorial! Do you use the intercom via SRS to communicate? If so, i can't find the transmit button :/
SRS doesn't seem fully integrated yet. There are notes how to set SRS to enable hot mic intercom.
Very good tutorial, idk why but i set the gun to auto range and doesn't work very well i mean, even on a hover, at with the target just like you shoot there, in 2km range, i miss like crazy, hits everything but the dam target, can you belive i wasted all 300 rounds at a dam APC 2km away and did not destroyed it?

Auto is passive based on height and angle. Lase for exact slant when possible even if it's a first stage triple shot.
