As a current CH-47F avionics mechanic, I believe you need to change the collective to "thrust" not "power". This is not only that it is referred to by everyone in the Chinook community, but it's also in the manuals as well.
I'm stoked! It will be cool once the dfcs is implemented. Also, no Boeing or block resets, dead batteries from maintenance crews running the apusha, or trashed out lct's and dash actuators. 😂😂
In the RAF, we do not call the third crewman a flight engineer,that flight badge is very rare now. The wear the LM Loadmaster brevet,(1/2 wing). They do get training in basic engineering for land away duties, but their job is more to do with supervising the loading, winch duties and talking the pilots into landing areas. Fantastic videos thank you
47 flight engineer here just some info The power lever is called a thrust not power lever not collective a thrust we also don’t call it a hook that’s what the old guys called it in nam we call it a chinook
Great stuff as usual. Looking forward to getting to grips with the aircraft and seeing some opportunities opening up for some interesting missions in the near future.
I can not wait, I only fly helicopters, I'm huge into logistics and troop transport now. I can't imagine the time I'll put in with the hook... designed for what I dedicate my time to already. Stoked. Also excited to help find whatever needs addressing to help the future updates. That's half of what EA is for... remember this people!
As a kid it was a treat to occasionally see RAF Chinooks flying and the excitement of seeing them as a child has solidified the Chinook as one of my favourite helicopters of all time. I cannot wait to fly logi in this beast with my Kiowa and Apache escort friends.
J'adore ses vidéos d'explication, des réglages des touches pour facilité la prise en main plus facilement des modules, pour ceux qui sont perdu comme moi, dans tous ses réglages.
At least on video, the cockpit perspective and seemingly easy handling made me forget that you have another 45 feet of fuselage behind you! She's a big girl with even more grace :3
Really hope this leads to a refresh on the HIP folding back in the logistics that the CH47 brings in. The hook is going to be a great addition and the story style videos people will produce will be epic.
Thank you so much for making this video Wags. It is always so great to hear your voice. I hope you recover from your cold/flu!! I had one earlier as well and my sore throat made me so miserable. I'm in my later yrs (past 40) but we can still take care of ourselves and remain in prime condition. Thanks again, your sincere fan
Thrust Lever, not Power Lever. Hate to be that guy lol love the content as always, Wags! I'm a CH-47F pilot, and we're very proud of the fact that it's called the thrust lever.... sounds way cooler. Also, can confirm. The 47F is incredibly easy to fly when the AFCS is on. Greatly looking forward to this module!
Can't wait for more logistics in terms of quantity, quality and complexity in DCS. The introduction of "the hook" and "fat albert" combined with the, in my opinion, outstanding afghanistan map, and furthermore DCSDC will probably lead to me not doing fireworks anymore 😅 Great work, thanks for this. Really looking forward to advanced logistics ❤ Get well soon.
I honestly cant wait to fly this, it holds sentimental value to me so to see it inside DCS is quite touching honestly, should hold me till the Typhoon drops, Thanks as always
I'm incredibly excited to see the upcoming videos on the screen pages and navigation, the Chinook will be amazing for many DCS MP servers that implement cargo & troop scripting. Similar to the F-16C Roadmap, will we potentially see one as well for the CH-47F regarding the pending EA features at launch?
Did I understand correctly that on the real bird only the aft right (not left) wheel steers? How does that work with the aft left wheel - does it lock/free-spin with the aft right wheel (like the wheels on a Home Depot cart) and, unlike the aft right wheel, is just not powered by the hydraulic steering actuator? I guess it's a clever weight saving for a big helicopter; imagine engineering a car like that 😅
Hope you get well soon! Is there any plans to increase the dust for more dramatic brownouts to better complement the many helicopters and desert maps we have now?
@@Jolly_Chief so am i, thankyou for asking this question. cant wait to get full on brown and white outs while flying helos. thanks for the answer @mattwagner
Hey Matt. Do I need to remind you that you are contractually obligated to not have any ailments?! You need to get better soon are we will be forced to seek legal council. Thanks for the update , can't wait to fly this bird, and all jokes aside, Feel Better!
How could you give us a CH47-F without LCTs? Please take your time guys.... I don't mind if the module is ready only in 2025. Before doing a tutorial about TAXI, it's also very important to talk about the DCP and why we shall never ever move the cyclic forward whilst taxiing. We don't care about RWR, we just want to fly something that flies like a CH-47 F. My tutorials will have to wait 😢
@@MattWagner Yeah I don't envy the coders XD. Hover down and CPLD modes will be cool later on. I'm not gonna lie I like when modules don't come out with all the features because it gets you to learn the module bit by bit.

Wags, never apologize for delays in making videos. We appreciate your efforts.

You are correct of course. I’ll blame the head cold brain fog and sticking to it.
I'm stoked! It will be cool once the dfcs is implemented. Also, no Boeing or block resets, dead batteries from maintenance crews running the apusha, or trashed out lct's and dash actuators. 😂😂
Even with incomplete LCT and ADFCS, it’s a fun and easy aircraft to fly.
@@MattWagnerMatt were you a military pilot?
Couldn’t give a monkeys what you call the power.. great work, looking good 👍🏻
Current Chinook pilot here. I'm very impressed by the avionics and CAAS integration. Looks awesome, can't wait. Thanks Wags!
🏴☠ Thanks Wags! Hope you are feeling better real soon! ~J
Soon™

Never thought, that I will be so hyped for a transport Helo in DCS. But hauling stuff around in Afghanistan will be so much fun.
'Hey, what's that Typhoon doing there?' if only. Looking forward to the hook, get well soon Wags!
what typhoon?
@@osdofkunakl3420 exactly ;)
I desperately want to press that master caution button. The light, it burns
Yeah, ADHD trigger.

Yes, thanks, discussed below.
We call it too, but it's always broken...
Great stuff as usual. Looking forward to getting to grips with the aircraft and seeing some opportunities opening up for some interesting missions in the near future.
Get well soon Wags. That's an order! :)
👍
Super excited to do some logistic flights in multiplayer with this beast.
Its already a month and a half late. I wouldnt hold your breath.
Id rather wait another few months and have it done well, just me though.
Hey everyone, Barry White from Eagle Dynamics.
Feel better asap Wags!! Thanks for this guide!
Get well soon Wags!
thank you for making this even though you are under the weather.
That little turny wheel is adorable!

EA is about killing codemasters and wasting a decade with a star wars license.

Feel better Wags
Thanks Matt. Great video training from you as always. Hope you're feeling better!!
Great vid as always Wags and get well soon. :)
Super excited to get my hands on this, all I do nowadays in DCS is fly the Huey and do logistics, and this thing looks like a beast.
Get well soon Wags!
Very excited for the CH-47!
Great vid! Thank Wags and I hope you are soon well again!
J'adore ses vidéos d'explication, des réglages des touches pour facilité la prise en main plus facilement des modules, pour ceux qui sont perdu comme moi, dans tous ses réglages.
Pretty smooth flying, Wags.
Not so much, but thanks.
Great video - I'm excited about this module. Thanks for the update (and for getting the QuadViews bug finally fixed)!

I loved flying in this aircraft. Not as much as the 60, but yea!! Thanks for the video and as always, nicely done sir!
Espero sinceramente que ED nos de una sorpresa y podamos volar el Chinook en unos días.
Not much longer.

Hey Wags please show some love to Huey and Hip also. They need face lifts

I am so looking forward to CSAR and transport missions with the Chinook. Get well soon, Wags!
Always appreciate your videos Wags! Thanks! Get well soon!
I'm longing for this more than a little boy waiting for X-mas 😀
Looks great! That said, with AFCS 1 & 2 failed, this thing should be absolutely gnarly to fly. Super easy with AFCS on, though.
WCAs are very WIP.
Lovely game, thanks for the video, all the best!
Cant wait for the release Wags. Super keen for the Hooks arrival.

Thanks Wags, and speedy recovery! 🤗
Looking great! Thanks for toughing through a cold to do this. Will the APR-39/CMWS have the awesome "Speak & Spell" voice? 😂
Well safe to say, I cannot wait for the ch47 Hope it comes out soon and on another note Get well soon Wags!!!
That cold is making your fantastic voice even better i cant lie 😂❤
I’ll pass on the up all night coughing.
@@MattWagner for sure get better soon
Ignore the flat-earthers on the forum, good things come to those that wait.
Great video! Can't wait to fly this monster!
Another Great video by our great instructor! Thank you Wags! Looking forward to it
Looking forward to flying this around Afghanistan
Gotta show off your long line slinging skills in the next video Wags!
You will be greatly disappointed.
😆
Excellent, vraiment hate de mettre la main dessus ;)
Cant wait to try a pinnacle landing in this.
Thats the same model Chinook that flew me and my boys into combat in the mountains of Paktia 2012
Sounds like the real thing!
Sorry to hear your unwell wags. Thanks for the update.
Good video and she's looking great.
very cool, thanks Wags
Wags got the voice of someone who hasn't been paid yet.
I'm ready to be the workhouse for logistical services
No looking left or right and say : hmmm what's that doing there😁
Did I understand correctly that on the real bird only the aft right (not left) wheel steers?

Only the aft, right wheel is powered, the left follows in unison.
Brilliant
Cant wait to fly this!
Wags your knowledge on these systems is amazing!!
SMEs are a huge help.
I nociced couple of alarms "ICU" flashing on the central console. Something we should be worried for release?
WCAs are very much WIP
@@MattWagner thank you for the reply
Can't wait!!! The Chinook is SUPER powerful...it'll actually outrun an Apache!!!
Did you just call DCS...a game?! How dare you Wags! Lmao great video like always. Get well soon!
Wags, will the Hook have an airdrop capability as IRL?
Saw it at RIAT so now I can't wait
Cant wait ..........
Ty Wags 🍻
Get well soon, Wags! Also, are those new UH-60 models over on the side? I couldn't tell if they looked better or I was just imagining things.
Standard AI
@@MattWagner Thanks, Wags! Good luck with the cold!
can't wait to fly this big chungus
I wanna EF2000
Summer cold bringing out Wag’s inner Nick Grey voice lol
Is the easiest aircraft to fly in DCS in the room with us??
so cool
Hope you get well soon!
Is there any plans to increase the dust for more dramatic brownouts to better complement the many helicopters and desert maps we have now?
The big weather task has been the new fog and dust effects.
@@MattWagner ooooo I’m excited. Thanks for the heads up, boss!
@@Jolly_Chief so am i, thankyou for asking this question. cant wait to get full on brown and white outs while flying helos. thanks for the answer @mattwagner
A cold, this is what’s kept us from flying this beast!? Ahhhh! 😢😂
Not at all.
@@MattWagner :D I know, just poking the bear
That's one bad-ass shadow I'm excited to cast
Hey Matt.
Do I need to remind you that you are contractually obligated to not have any ailments?! You need to get better soon are we will be forced to seek legal council. Thanks for the update , can't wait to fly this bird, and all jokes aside, Feel Better!
I cant wait to finally fly it!
I saw a lot of blackhawks. A hint of what to come there wags?
And have you guys considered making an early version of the chinook?
Sorry, no and no.
Can't wait! What airbase is that in the Video?
Camp Bastion if I remember correctly.
@@MattWagner Thanks, Wags! 🙂
How could you give us a CH47-F without LCTs?

BLACK HAWK!!!!!!! tease??????
a man can dream though a man can dream!!
Hopefully someday.
Thrust lever
sounds so hefty. 10/10.
Sweet! Can’t wait to get my hands on it. Get well soon!
Curious if it's coming out with the autopilot systems kinda working?
Those DAFCS option will come later.
@@MattWagner I figured it's a more complex autopilot system then most. Regardless can't wait!!!
Yes, and some quite interesting capabilities.
@@MattWagner Yeah I don't envy the coders XD. Hover down and CPLD modes will be cool later on. I'm not gonna lie I like when modules don't come out with all the features because it gets you to learn the module bit by bit.
F16 DTC when 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤫?
It will be in stages. The countermeasures DTC for several aircraft is nearing internal testing.
@@MattWagner THANKS😍
Top👍
A bit louder mic please :)
Get well soon dear Wags! Looking forward for the Chinook
When when when??
Not much longer.
Good news ☺️
Even Wags with a cold has a great voice
get well soon Wags, im just getting over a cold as well.
