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
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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
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
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
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!
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.
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?
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.
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!
I cant wait, the logi' beast, .. but.. nobody wanna say something about all those UH60? ... Will they be from the free mod? o ED is giving us a little preview
Okey, thanks for the reply. Would be nice to have that immersion, there were times I managed to put down a damaged aircraft out in the field, but that was it. Off to "select role" menu.

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!

Wags, never apologize for delays in making videos. We appreciate your efforts.
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.
Hey everyone, Barry White from Eagle Dynamics.
Feel better asap Wags!! Thanks for this guide!
'Hey, what's that Typhoon doing there?' if only. Looking forward to the hook, get well soon Wags!
what typhoon?
@@osdofkunakl3420 exactly ;)
Get well soon Wags!
thank you for making this even though you are under the weather.
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
Yes, thanks, discussed below.
We call it too, but it's always broken...
I desperately want to press that master caution button. The light, it burns
Yeah, ADHD trigger.
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.
Get well soon Wags!
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.
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.
Get well soon Wags. That's an order! :)
👍
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.
Great video - I'm excited about this module. Thanks for the update (and for getting the QuadViews bug finally fixed)!
That little turny wheel is adorable!
Get well soon Wags!
Very excited for the CH-47!

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

Hey Wags please show some love to Huey and Hip also. They need face lifts
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.
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.
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
Cant wait for the release Wags. Super keen for the Hooks arrival.

Lovely game, thanks for the video, all the best!
Pretty smooth flying, Wags.
Not so much, but thanks.
Well safe to say, I cannot wait for the ch47 Hope it comes out soon and on another note Get well soon Wags!!!
Great video! Can't wait to fly this monster!
Another Great video by our great instructor! Thank you Wags! Looking forward to it
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
Looking great! Thanks for toughing through a cold to do this. Will the APR-39/CMWS have the awesome "Speak & Spell" voice? 😂
Thats the same model Chinook that flew me and my boys into combat in the mountains of Paktia 2012
Excellent, vraiment hate de mettre la main dessus ;)
Did you just call DCS...a game?! How dare you Wags! Lmao great video like always. Get well soon!
Gotta show off your long line slinging skills in the next video Wags!
You will be greatly disappointed.
😆
Ignore the flat-earthers on the forum, good things come to those that wait.
Good video and she's looking great.
I'm ready to be the workhouse for logistical services
Looking forward to flying this around Afghanistan
Wags, will the Hook have an airdrop capability as IRL?
so power lever is what in dcs config?
th-cam.com/video/WPAYiooNoYY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=08gExbncKKUd9sSl&t=175
Can't wait!!! The Chinook is SUPER powerful...it'll actually outrun an Apache!!!

Sounds like the real thing!
No looking left or right and say : hmmm what's that doing there😁
very cool, thanks Wags
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.
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.
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.
What setting do you use, wags? I play on everything mad yet my game doesn't look as good!
Most everything at max, they key is lighting.
Sorry to hear your unwell wags. Thanks for the update.
Thanks Wags, and speedy recovery! 🤗
Cant wait to try a pinnacle landing in this.
Is the easiest aircraft to fly in DCS in the room with us??
Cant wait to fly this!
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!

Good news ☺️
Trial available at launch?
BLACK HAWK!!!!!!! tease??????
a man can dream though a man can dream!!
Hopefully someday.
Wags your knowledge on these systems is amazing!!
SMEs are a huge help.
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!
"Or God help you if you wanted to use some keys." - nearly lost my breakfast laughing here mate.
F16 DTC when 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤫?
It will be in stages. The countermeasures DTC for several aircraft is nearing internal testing.
@@MattWagner THANKS😍
Saw it at RIAT so now I can't wait
Wags got the voice of someone who hasn't been paid yet.
Can't wait! What airbase is that in the Video?
Camp Bastion if I remember correctly.
@@MattWagner Thanks, Wags! 🙂
I cant wait, the logi' beast, .. but.. nobody wanna say something about all those UH60? ... Will they be from the free mod? o ED is giving us a little preview
They are just the standard AI models. Nothing to see here.
@@MattWagner Hahaha, okey okey, Get well soon Wags!
Isnt it called Thrust Lever?
Yes, sick brain fog.
Cant wait ..........
Wags! Will the CH-47F be able to hook and carry damaged aircraft and carry out a sort of a rescue mission?
It will be based on available ‘cargo’ items.
Okey, thanks for the reply. Would be nice to have that immersion, there were times I managed to put down a damaged aircraft out in the field, but that was it. Off to "select role" menu.
A bit louder mic please :)
can't wait to fly this big chungus
Brilliant
What map is this? :)
Two weeks or under till release?
Afghanistan
@@MattWagner ah wicked! So is this an actual helibase then?
@@Boresight1-1 yes
@@MattWagner nice. It’s gonna be on my list at a discount! Thanks ☺️
F-117 when?
How stable is the CH-47 compared to Apache and Ka-50 modules?
More so.

I wanna EF2000
I cant wait to finally fly it!
