I showed my Granddad this video just then. And mentioned it was a simulator and I showed him the aircraft you could get he instantly pointed out the Huey. He instantly swelled up with tears.and told me about the many memories he had servicing this aircraft during the time he was in Vietnam. I cant even words. Its not something one can explain. Thanks for showing this as I didn't have the Huey in DCS.
Flew combat for a year (SEP70-SEP71) as a gunner crew chief on the UH-1H "HUEY". I was shot down twice in night time hunter killer operations. I usually flew the M-134 Mini-gun (4500 rounds loaded with another 3,000 in cans to air reload. I usually fired it at 3,000 RPM or 6,000 RPM for dueling 12.7mm HMG or 14.5 HMG. A M-2 Browning fifty caliber with 1,300 rounds in 100 round cans, a M-60 GPMG with approx. 1300-1500 rounds available. Personal weapons for crew members, I carried either a M-14 or an AK-47 folding stock, 1911 Semi auto pistol and survival knife. We also had a man operating a 50 million candle power search light. Two cases of grenades, one case fragmentation and one case mixed, WP, Thermite for equipment destruction, Concussion for enemy swimmers near bridges or as they abandoned sampans under fire. So a crew of six on my aircraft. Flew 10-14 hour missions almost daily. Scored many kills. We were heavily loaded and the sound of the rotors slapping the humid air caused the whop, whop, whop sound during descent or heavy maneuvering. She would sustain a fair amount of ground fire and keep flying, but , as with any flying machine, she could be brought down with a lucky shot. I treasure my memories of my service in combat and would not change a thing. I was in the US ARMY then and returned to complete college and took a Commission in the USAF and flew fighters, my childhood dream. Keep up the good work Magz. I enjoy your channel. I took my R&R in Australia. The people were very nice and friendly. I quartered in King's Cross in Sydney. Let anyone know that asks I appreciate the warm hospitality we were extended by your Countrymen. Thank you.
+Geo Biery Thats why DCS modules are the cost they are, Your not buying a simple 'premium' aircraft or some kind of DLC as you would in a mainstream game. Your buying a single Aircraft that has had the development time and resources of a full game put into just it alone. The development studios that work on DCS have huge amounts of my respect for that.
I actually spoke to Magz the other night asking him which DCS module he recommends, he recommended the Huey and I confirm this guy knows his stuff! £20+ for a DLC might seem steep but it's worth every penny. I've been flying it straight for the last couple days, I can't get enough! Magz's consumer advice is on point ladies and gentleman!
Watching this vid had memories flooding back of my Air Training Corp Senior NCO course at RAAF Base Pearce. Whilst there I had the considerable pleasure of a couple flights through the hills east of the base in one of the SAR Hueys. Many, many thanks for that alone mate :D
Ah some more UH-1H-Huey gameplay...time to open a 2nd youtube window and have some CCR "Fortunate Son" blasting trough my speakers while watching this video Magz! :D Woohooo ^^
+Nuke Away Yeah, As much as I would love to make that video until there Vietnam map is released (Yes there is one being worked on but no ETA at this time) A correct environment is not really a possibility. And again as much as I would love to have "fortunate son" playing while flying again, Pretty much a guaranteed copyright strike against my channel there. I will be looking onto options in that regard as I really want yo use that and some Vietnam era rolling stones.
Great video Magz! The UH-1 is one of my favorite helicopters. Used to love flying it in MSFS9 and lucky to have flown in the co-pilot's seat! One of the very few videos I've published in TH-cam.
Beautiful video, thanks mate ;) Although seeing those Hinds kind of makes me wanna cry. We inherited 50 perfectly fine Mi-24s from the GDR after reunification...and we scrapped them and used billions to develop the Tiger instead, which completely lacks the versatility of that machine. Anyway, thanks for the content. See you in the skies ;)
Ahh but that's the trick, I never said the rotor blades are going past Mach one, I said the tips are going supersonic. I was being brief as I only had limited time to talk but you kind of answer this in your own first statement. As the rotor spins it generates a high speed vortex underneath the Huey and as you are aware this is what keep the Huey aloft. This vortex will never break the speed of sound itself but it can generate speeds up around 600 mph just under the rotors. Now the vortex rotates in the same direction as the rotors itself but also generates a counter rotation just outside of the main vortex, This counter rotation can be up to half the rotation speed of the vortex itself at the edges of the vortex. As the tips of the rotor move outside of the vortex during flight, a rotor spinning at (as your maths shows) 554 mph encounters a oncoming rotation moving at 300 mph and boom there you have it, A supersonic rotor tip that is not moving at supersonic speeds. Edit: Spelling is hard -_-
+MagzTV i spent 15 years scrambling in and out of the Huey!!! I could feel it in my bones!!! Great video!!!! As Colonel Kilgore said "You either fight or you surf!!! Charlie dosen't Surf!!!" Surfs up Mate, Sprog1 in AZ. P.S. "Lance I want my board back, it's a really good board Lance!!!"
10/10 Wagner's Walkürenritt :) On a more serious note, I keep seeing that footage of the MiG-21 in the outtro. If you have it in DCS, I think the Fishbed would make a good subject for a future DCS video. Such a sexy soviet jet.
0:01, the big bang 0:10 first signs of life, 0:11 first signs of human life, 0:16 first advanced words humans speak, 9:22 first signs of advanced audio(music), 14:16 human life starts to die out, 15:31 all life is dead
+LittleMikey No, It was vibrating like that because it vibrates like that in real life. Also from time to time the artificial horizon and the compass will stick because they did that in real life too. That's DCS accuracy, correctly modeling the vibration of objects inside of the cockpit. :)
Dear Magz, I'm a US marine biologist working in Australia and team and I are head into the nearest town to resupply, (searest town is Perth at about 2.5 hours away) since I am the only alcoholic in team I would like a natives recommendation on some beer. Thanks for your time. Sincerely, Phillip Moore
+Phillip M Local Beer, Carlton Draft is a good drop. VB if you like something heavy and XXXX (FourX) Isn't bad if its available. Most of the states have at least one or two of there own beers and WA is on the other side of the country to me so there may be more. Have a good drink mate! :)
+MagzTV Oh, okay. Was kind of curious. I know some people use sticks with no return spring. It supposedly makes manual trim a bit easier. How is the X55? I've heard less than stellar things about it?
+Skystalker Hind is not in game yet as a playable module. Mi-8 is one of two modules I dont own (Will be fixing that next sale) Ka-50, Yes that one will be on channel at some point.
Hey MagzTV Does the Australian emergency services still use the Huey for firefighting and search and rescue? I know here in the states, a few states do keep a fleet for such purposes. I know we don't use them in the military sadly.
hay magz i didnt quite call it before you posted this video but i made a comments on your facebook post and obviously you had already made the video before hand but i somewhat called ride of the valkaries early but nun the less great video
Hi Magz, another great video, thank you, keep these videos up please! (Made an account today just to subscribe) I've got a War Thunder question for you: Do you cop really bad lag spikes while playing? I've had to simply quit out of the game on numerous occasions due to shooting at planes that "teleport" to another location, not to mention the amount of times I've died by crashing into the deck (when half a second before I was apparently 200m above). Is this a problem you cop often? If so, is there anything I can do to reduce it?
+Nick Noodle What you are describing is packet loss and no I almost never have it. Packet loss is usually a sign of interference in your net connection. It may be worth running a few line tests too see if you can find a problem.
Thanks for the reply and help, very much appreciated :) Is your router connection straight to your PC (cable) or do you go daring with wireless? Sadly, even Gaijin's monumental tally of moronic decisions recently doesn't make me as deflated about the game compared to when I'm experimenting with War Thunder's aircraft warp technology (patent pending).
+GT Racers seen a view reviews looks great, a lot say it's really accurate unfortunately so accurate that it's also easy to get into vortex ring as in real life, just have to land going forward lol.
Well I think thats a thing I can do :P But I still don't know where to put it on my "things I want to buy for DCS" list. I enjoy flying helos but at the same time don't really have a bird for dogfighting.
I love the mig 15, and it's not too hard to fly. A little confusing at first for start up but otherwise an amazing aircraft. Also don't need to worry about missile systems lol
magz just a heads up as a dcs ka-50 player, never fly over the target. you just asking to be shot. fly at the target,shoot and then bank off to avoid flying over. in this mission flying over the target is kinda ok. but in harder mission it will not work and will lead to death from a well hidden aa.
+billthemanofgoodnis Yeah I am aware, If the Hinds where not there to clear the AAA and hard targets first I would have played popup on the ridge line and never gone anywhere near the base.
+that tea drinking top hat tipping British man Well, The Huey first hit the skies in 1956 as a prototype and went into service in 59/60. The MH-53 hit the skies in 67. Its unlikely that the Pave Low was based on the UH-1 but it was safe to say it was influenced.
MagzTV I guess this was a design that sparked all sorts of ideas, like any first design does. I mean look at the Black Hawk, you can't tell me that thing wasn't based at least a _little bit_ off of the Huey. I think I'm looking at the aesthetics too much though. I see the Pave Low and UH-1 as similar because they share the same sort of box-shaped roundness.
+that tea drinking top hat tipping British man remember the huey and UH-60 (pave,black,sea hawk) were designed for the same purpose as a Medevac helicopter. If it works don't change it. Funny there are still hueys in the us air force just like the old B-52s but they have been modified with new EW(electronic warfare)
+that tea drinking top hat tipping British man Often enough the visuals are less based off one another but rather similar because they work. It's for that very reason the newest Russian stealth jet (T-50 or something) looks very similar to the F-22 and the B-2 looks somewhat like a Horton.
Wesley Ham The Huey is apparently the second most produced helicopter in the world so yeah, I agree, changing the design drastically would be like trying to fix something that isn't broken. Well, you said it yourself, if it works don't change it, so that's why Huey's are still in service.
+Quintin Baumeister Production count is only for UH-1 Iroquois, Single engine designs. Huey II Duel engine designs including the Venom would be an additional production on top of the numbers I gave.
+Jonathan Erickson Production of the UH-1Y Venom was supposed to be finished by some time next year. I don't know if the production run has finished early or not, but that was the plan. We only started using the Venom in early 2009.
+Edmunds demonds You can take over the gunner positions if you wish, both the left and right gunner along with the weapons control for the flexible mounts controlled by the co-pilot. I generally don't as I like to fly and would rather experience the fight from the pilots seat trying to give the gunners the best angle on target than from the gunners seat pulling the trigger.
+floh667 Flying it, Yes. Flying it against others, Wel that depends. Most of the populated DCS multiplayer servers have pings that make it impossible to play competitively, But every now and then one will fill up that's closer. I'll keep a watch out for when that happens, fingers crossed I'll get some footage then.
+Edmunds demonds School holidays, Spending time with my kids. That's why I pushed the 7 days solid the other week, I wanted to get everyone some content out before the holidays started, Now I am just doing my best to get videos up when I can.
Is a plane license the same as a helicopter license? because if not i may be capable of being a heli pilot, may even plan on buying one of these choppers in the video. (after years of raising)
Nope, private pilot for fixed wing and rotor aircraft is different so one may be a licensed helicopter pilot but is not legally qualified to fly a small fixed wing aircraft. Also, generally getting a helicopter license is much more expensive due to cost of rental for helicopters (that's from what I've heard and been told so correct me if I'm wrong)
I believe that they are, depending on the severity and medication for the condition it may not make a difference. Best way to find out is to go to an specialized aviation physician
You'd have to buy a helicopter and get hundreds of hours on it which minimum means $100,000 for a used helicopter, like a Robinson. It's easier to just become a pilot for planes
I'm thinking of getting a cheap warbird nowadays, like a L-2 Taylorcraft or if i raise like hell, a TBF avenger. i wanna cropdust as a career, hopefully i can do that in ultralights because my chances of becoming a normal pilot well... could be better, lets say that.
i hope someone makes a chinook model where there is a full scale invasion going where you drop a team and let you door gunners and ramp gunner provide fire support hell even if they did that mission with the huey i would go and buy a good computer just for that. the great thing about a mission like that is there is no particular era restrictions not that there are many anyway
+zeropositivo We'll its unsurprising considering that while the Huey design started as military It didn't take long to find its way into the civilian market. That may be where your association comes from, It's been a civilian aircraft as well as a military one for almost its whole existence. Also works as a great example of don't judge a book by its cover, Doesn't look particularly dangerous, Until the guns are all switched on and it begins to spit 24,000 rounds per minute or 400 rounds per second at you.
AMX-56 Leclerc At this point no idea. We'll see when it's its announced. One thing you have to get used to with DCS is that can take some time, When it's ready is the general rule here.
+fungunfanatic Modules from the Steam store can be used on the Stand alone DCS client, Modules from the stand alone won't work on the steam client. That's the only real difference. Well that can the stand alone always gets access to new modules and updates first.
+William Heayn Lol, It is a Huey. No I mean that ground fire can and will take you down even small arms fire if the right places are hit. Engine, Rotors, Pilots, Main structure, Tail rotor shaft, Gear box, etc. Part of the trick when flying her is to keep the body of the aircraft (Or a shitload of bullets) between those components and what ever is firing at you.
magz please if you get the time to play a match in the SMK aka stalins magical komunism/ stalins mobile kremlin i convinced a friend to buy the smk and to my discover the smk is hardly used or seen so if you want can you please drive it out for a vid
+UndeadJetAngel T. Copyright Fantasy Records 2015. I looked into the cost of buying a limited rights access to use it. You don't want to know what the licening fees are.
I showed my Granddad this video just then. And mentioned it was a simulator and I showed him the aircraft you could get he instantly pointed out the Huey.

Proud to do it. I would gladly do it all again.
+James Carmean Wait, I think I know you, I was the guy carrying the Igla-M.
What is an Igla-M? Are you being rude and snarky? I hope not, show a little respect.
+James Carmean Gerry is saying that he was the one who shot you down. The VC uses Igla-Ms to shoot helps down.
ride of the valkyries old but gold :'D
That Flight of the Valkyries though. Somebody's seen Apocalypse Now :P
+Derek Bender Anyone who hasn't seen Apocalypse Now. . . well they need to see it.
+MagzTV I still need to watch it :-(
it is on my 'short'list
best bloody movie in the world
Wow I love how detailed the interior is and how smooth the crewmember animations are.
+Geo Biery Thats why DCS modules are the cost they are, Your not buying a simple 'premium' aircraft or some kind of DLC as you would in a mainstream game.

More.
More needed.
More.
+Cinnabun agreed!
+Cinnabun Yeah!
+Cinnabun There will be, Just getting a freshly installed client ready for the 1.5 update.
I actually spoke to Magz the other night asking him which DCS module he recommends, he recommended the Huey and I confirm this guy knows his stuff! £20+ for a DLC might seem steep but it's worth every penny. I've been flying it straight for the last couple days, I can't get enough! Magz's consumer advice is on point ladies and gentleman!
It's 2 in the morning, I should go to sleep.
Oh look! A new cool Magz video!
I know you from live, lol
Caveman Rizznikozz Dayum, I've been discovered!
Watching this vid had memories flooding back of my Air Training Corp Senior NCO course at RAAF Base Pearce. Whilst there I had the considerable pleasure of a couple flights through the hills east of the base in one of the SAR Hueys.
Many, many thanks for that alone mate :D
+vaulthecreator Your most welcome, Expect too see more Huey action, Its one of my favorite modules.
As soon as I heard those first few notes as the doors opened of ride of the Valkyries I had a grin on my face
Ah some more UH-1H-Huey gameplay...time to open a 2nd youtube window and have some CCR "Fortunate Son" blasting trough my speakers while watching this video Magz! :D Woohooo ^^
Samee
yeah before he posted the video i asked him if he could do a vietnam looking forest with fortunate son but there wasn't any vietnam looking forest =_(
Nuke Away
You dont need a forest, just a couple of grassy hills and flooded rice fields with some water buffalo will do just fine! ^^
+Nuke Away Yeah, As much as I would love to make that video until there Vietnam map is released (Yes there is one being worked on but no ETA at this time) A correct environment is not really a possibility. And again as much as I would love to have "fortunate son" playing while flying again, Pretty much a guaranteed copyright strike against my channel there. I will be looking onto options in that regard as I really want yo use that and some Vietnam era rolling stones.
what about i think it was hay whats that sound or something like that?
Great video Magz! The UH-1 is one of my favorite helicopters. Used to love flying it in MSFS9 and lucky to have flown in the co-pilot's seat! One of the very few videos I've published in TH-cam.
Awesome work Magz. I enjoy the DCS videos. DCS is a simulator at its best...flight models are awesome.
Beautiful video, thanks mate ;) Although seeing those Hinds kind of makes me wanna cry. We inherited 50 perfectly fine Mi-24s from the GDR after reunification...and we scrapped them and used billions to develop the Tiger instead, which completely lacks the versatility of that machine. Anyway, thanks for the content. See you in the skies ;)

+MagzTV i spent 15 years scrambling in and out of the Huey!!! I could feel it in my bones!!! Great video!!!! As Colonel Kilgore said "You either fight or you surf!!! Charlie dosen't Surf!!!" Surfs up Mate, Sprog1 in AZ.
P.S. "Lance I want my board back, it's a really good board Lance!!!"
More DCS please! You are a good pilot and its awesome to see you fly keep up the good work!
+MagzTV magz I agree spelling is hard and that was some really nice info.. Thanks:)
nice touch with Ride of the Valkeries
is there an option to use the hook of the huey to lift something?
Thx magz I got what I wanted
And I loved it
10/10 Wagner's Walkürenritt :)
On a more serious note, I keep seeing that footage of the MiG-21 in the outtro. If you have it in DCS, I think the Fishbed would make a good subject for a future DCS video. Such a sexy soviet jet.
NIce video magz Keep it up!
0:01, the big bang 0:10 first signs of life, 0:11 first signs of human life, 0:16 first advanced words humans speak, 9:22 first signs of advanced audio(music), 14:16 human life starts to die out, 15:31 all life is dead
I cant help but feel that a DCS AC-130 Gunship module would be pretty fun... because large cannons...
@Magz why was the central console in the Huey vibrating so much? Is that a bug?
+LittleMikey No, It was vibrating like that because it vibrates like that in real life. Also from time to time the artificial horizon and the compass will stick because they did that in real life too. That's DCS accuracy, correctly modeling the vibration of objects inside of the cockpit. :)
MagzTV Crikey, that's impressive!
Man, I would love to see some more of your DCS videos. I love your commentary. Are you going to get the new Mirage module?
+Will Kinton Yes of course. :)
+MagzTV awesome.
What rudder pedals do you have?
Dear Magz,
I'm a US marine biologist working in Australia and team and I are head into the nearest town to resupply, (searest town is Perth at about 2.5 hours away) since I am the only alcoholic in team I would like a natives recommendation on some beer. Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,

+Phillip M Local Beer, Carlton Draft is a good drop. VB if you like something heavy and XXXX (FourX) Isn't bad if its available. Most of the states have at least one or two of there own beers and WA is on the other side of the country to me so there may be more.
Have a good drink mate! :)
MagzTV Thank you for your swift reply, and I will definitely try your recommendations because if I'm going to do nothing I might as well be drunk. :D
Run, Charlie!
What are you using for a flight setup stick wise?
+thespartanmk1 X-55 Rhino Hotas and TrackIR 5
+MagzTV Oh, okay. Was kind of curious. I know some people use sticks with no return spring. It supposedly makes manual trim a bit easier.
How is the X55? I've heard less than stellar things about it?
If you haven't already, read 'ChickenHawk' by Robert Mason. Good book
+Pablo668 Low level hell is another great helo read.
Oh thanks.
These are great Magz, any chance we might be able to see a video on the Hind, Mi-8, or KA-50 Black Shark?
+Skystalker Hind is not in game yet as a playable module. Mi-8 is one of two modules I dont own (Will be fixing that next sale) Ka-50, Yes that one will be on channel at some point.
MagzTV
Damn I love the design of the hind. Its like a blackhawk crossed with an apache
+Skystalker Actually the other way around, The Huey came first. :)
MagzTV
Oh I know. I was just saying how I love the design of the Hind, it is so scary looking
Great Video. Apologies if you have mentioned it already, what controller to you find best flying the UH-1H?
+RicheUK I use the X-55 Rhino with the soft spring for flying choppers in DCS.
+MagzTV thanks for the reply
RicheUK No problem, My pleasure. :)
Does the weight of the helicopter change as you use ammo?
+Bub sing Yes, As you expend ordinance the aircraft's weight does drop and handling improves.
Curious - Why do they have the pilot sitting in the copilot's seat?
+Rick M They don't, Huey's along with most US built Helicopters are flown from the right with the co-pilot on the left.
im trying to download it ive made an account but it still isnt working it says i need authentification what do i do? can someone please respond
Hey Magz, have you seen the awesome Huey recreation at the Australian War Memorial?
Love 💘 💘 💘 💘 it Awesome job on flying too...Looks fun to.Thank you so much for your videos and channel too greatly appreciate it too.....
Hey MagzTV Does the Australian emergency services still use the Huey for firefighting and search and rescue? I know here in the states, a few states do keep a fleet for such purposes. I know we don't use them in the military sadly.
Some Hueys yes but the tend to be the newer twin engine versions rather than the old UH-1
hay magz i didnt quite call it before you posted this video but i made a comments on your facebook post and obviously you had already made the video before hand but i somewhat called ride of the valkaries early but nun the less great video

+that tea drinking top hat tipping British man Often enough the visuals are less based off one another but rather similar because they work.
It's for that very reason the newest Russian stealth jet (T-50 or something) looks very similar to the F-22 and the B-2 looks somewhat like a Horton.
Wesley Ham The Huey is apparently the second most produced helicopter in the world so yeah, I agree, changing the design drastically would be like trying to fix something that isn't broken.
Well, you said it yourself, if it works don't change it, so that's why Huey's are still in service.
Hey Magz, were your production counts including the modern "Venom" versions, or just the standard "Huey" versions?
+Quintin Baumeister Production count is only for UH-1 Iroquois, Single engine designs. Huey II Duel engine designs including the Venom would be an additional production on top of the numbers I gave.
MagzTV ok. Thanks for the info. Great video
When's the last time they even made a venom?
+Jonathan Erickson Production of the UH-1Y Venom was supposed to be finished by some time next year. I don't know if the production run has finished early or not, but that was the plan. We only started using the Venom in early 2009.
Ah okay makes sense. Can the venom carry a full 11 man compliment or is it still less
awesome
Would love to see some Arma 3 videos as well.
Can you switch to the gunners or not in dcs?
+Edmunds demonds You can take over the gunner positions if you wish, both the left and right gunner along with the weapons control for the flexible mounts controlled by the co-pilot. I generally don't as I like to fly and would rather experience the fight from the pilots seat trying to give the gunners the best angle on target than from the gunners seat pulling the trigger.
+MagzTV cool thanks.... I would be the guy taking over the guns
Can you still fly through trees in DCS?
Any chances to see you flying the P51, 109 K4 or fw190 D9 against others in DCS? :D
+floh667 Flying it, Yes. Flying it against others, Wel that depends. Most of the populated DCS multiplayer servers have pings that make it impossible to play competitively, But every now and then one will fill up that's closer. I'll keep a watch out for when that happens, fingers crossed I'll get some footage then.
Magz did you run in to a problem uploading or just take a brake?
+Edmunds demonds School holidays, Spending time with my kids. That's why I pushed the 7 days solid the other week, I wanted to get everyone some content out before the holidays started, Now I am just doing my best to get videos up when I can.
+MagzTV yeh good idea
I happen to know it is I may or may not be on holidays myself......
Yes I am Australian
Uh-1H is very good helicopter .
Magz! Will you do the A-10C?
+xVindictive87x I don't have the A-10C yet, only the A10A from FC3. The 10C and the Mi-8 are the only modules that I don't currently own.
+MagzTV I might have an A-10C key laying around, let me take a look, I have like 2000 hours logged in the hog lol
Is a plane license the same as a helicopter license? because if not i may be capable of being a heli pilot, may even plan on buying one of these choppers in the video. (after years of raising)
Nope, private pilot for fixed wing and rotor aircraft is different so one may be a licensed helicopter pilot but is not legally qualified to fly a small fixed wing aircraft. Also, generally getting a helicopter license is much more expensive due to cost of rental for helicopters (that's from what I've heard and been told so correct me if I'm wrong)
Max Henry are the health concerns the same? (I have cardiovascular problems so I wanna back up of planes are outta the option.)
I believe that they are, depending on the severity and medication for the condition it may not make a difference. Best way to find out is to go to an specialized aviation physician
You'd have to buy a helicopter and get hundreds of hours on it which minimum means $100,000 for a used helicopter, like a Robinson.
It's easier to just become a pilot for planes
I'm thinking of getting a cheap warbird nowadays, like a L-2 Taylorcraft or if i raise like hell, a TBF avenger. i wanna cropdust as a career, hopefully i can do that in ultralights because my chances of becoming a normal pilot well... could be better, lets say that.
Wagner! I bet that spooked the shit out of those guys...
What mod is the map from?
It's not from any mod, That's the standard base map for DCS.
+MagzTV I don't remember seeing Caucasus with a desertion tinge, I must be mistaken.
+Robert Hodge Ignore auto correct, I meant "desertish"
Yeah, It's not a large area. I think the mission is based in the central north of Caucasus in Summer but don't quote me on that.
Flying out the Hog today are we magz?
+pwnyou7 Nope, Playing ARK as the new biomes have been released while I re-download the DCS client so I can update to DCS 1.5
i hope someone makes a chinook model where there is a full scale invasion going where you drop a team and let you door gunners and ramp gunner provide fire support hell even if they did that mission with the huey i would go and buy a good computer just for that. the great thing about a mission like that is there is no particular era restrictions not that there are many anyway
You should have put "Fortunate Son" by CCR, sorry for my bad english.
I don't know why, but the shape of this aircraft never struck me as particularly dangerous. It almost reminds me of a civilian transport...
it's not lime this helicopter is 50 year old
+zeropositivo We'll its unsurprising considering that while the Huey design started as military It didn't take long to find its way into the civilian market. That may be where your association comes from, It's been a civilian aircraft as well as a military one for almost its whole existence.
Also works as a great example of don't judge a book by its cover, Doesn't look particularly dangerous, Until the guns are all switched on and it begins to spit 24,000 rounds per minute or 400 rounds per second at you.
Ok, cobra next! :D
+Nova7557 No Cobra available in DCS. . . . yet
MagzTV :(
+MagzTV What model AH-1 we getting? W I'm guessing.
AMX-56 Leclerc At this point no idea. We'll see when it's its announced. One thing you have to get used to with DCS is that can take some time, When it's ready is the general rule here.
can you fly the Hind in DCS?
+Vini 287 Not yet, Its currently AI only but its expected to be added at some point. No idea when that will be.
Do I need a joystick if i play it?
+Malte763 Technically no you can play with keyboard but honestly yes, At least a $20 Logitech Extreme 3D pro.
ok thanks
My fav helo too.
Is there any real difference between Dcs and steams dcs?
+fungunfanatic Modules from the Steam store can be used on the Stand alone DCS client, Modules from the stand alone won't work on the steam client. That's the only real difference. Well that can the stand alone always gets access to new modules and updates first.
+MagzTV Cool thanks for the info
When you say "accurate damage model," I'm assuming that means the aircraft just doesn't care until you start losing control surfaces.
+William Heayn Lol, It is a Huey. No I mean that ground fire can and will take you down even small arms fire if the right places are hit. Engine, Rotors, Pilots, Main structure, Tail rotor shaft, Gear box, etc. Part of the trick when flying her is to keep the body of the aircraft (Or a shitload of bullets) between those components and what ever is firing at you.
lol i was faster than magz :D
THIS IS PEQUOD, IN HOT
some day this games gonna end...
Rise of flight?
Any plans on doing its Russian counterpart, the Mi-8MTV2 ?
+TheSkipjack95 I dont own the Mi-8 yet but I am planning on buying it. Once I have it yes i'll put that big bird up on channel.
+MagzTV do you have any interest in flaming cliffs?
2:29 did he just mispronounce aluminium.
the AR-15 guy that is epic person nope, he said it the correct way.
U-Hache-One-Hache
DCS is very good but still missing normal, intresting battle theaters(Nevada, State of Hormuz) the devs promised us years ago. The crimea is meh.
+bgabor1911 DCS 1.5 went live today Navada will be available any day.
