@@nathane7865 I go back and forth between Cold War jets and helicopters, but mostly focus still on helicopters as I don’t have a real throttle yet, just a collective and stick.
@@nathane7865 VKB gladiator nxt premium and mkiv pedals, winwing black shark collective, and some amazon desk mounts. Have a virpil mongoose cm3 throttle and stick ordered, but wont be here for some time. If I could go back and do it over again I would start with a good throttle and stick, and get the collective later. You can use a throttle for a collective, but a collective wont make a good throttle.
By the way, magnetic compass is very inaccurate and inert, it only makes things worse. Even worse when used in flight. One should avoid compass switching in flight, compass correction is normally done on the ground only (preferable not by MH). Use magnetic compass in flight once - and even precisely aligned INU will build up error at alarming rate, rendering it unfit for battle. Fast INU allignment is not intended for battle use at all - but one gonna really feel it when using external target designation system (which is the core feature of Ka-50, Black Shark is all about datalink).
LOOOL that missile at the end... I'm impressed you're using an xbox controller. Awesome! I guess the ka50 is the obvious choice for this with all the stabilization from the AP. (about to check your other videos and find your you fly other helis with this I bet)
I have a feeling that the Ka 50 needs a ton of fuel conpared to the Apache. Is it just the engines, for example are they just inefficient or is there a different reason. Or am I simply wrong.
lol there's a surprising amount of people using Xbox controllers. Of course, they eventually move on to full HOTAS setups, but I personally prefer using my gamepad most of the time
I need your help @Tuuvas with setting up controls to be able to use my Bigbig won Armor x pro with the motion function as flight control, Do you have discord or any way I could contact you?
Love the KA 50, my first full fidelity module.
Heck yeah, plus all the BS3 upgrades make it so much more survivable
did you ever switch of to jets or learn any jets?

@@Volcrum Wait so what is your hardware set up for helicopters. if you can provide links that would be nice.

"Hey, go to bed." -Su 25 😂
Leaving a comment because I really liked this video! Overall very cool!
I've never seen such a off boresight missile from an SU-25, that is either impressive or cheating
Absolutely cheating lol. But ED has said this is a known issue and is being worked on

Nice video man, I think this format is very nice for gameplay, wish to see more videos like this haha
still waiting for those performance upgrades
You and me both. Depending on how well multithreading turns out, I just might pick up a Steam Deck for DCS
@@Tuuvas hahaha
BS 3 on the go 👀

Nice video, definitely going to subscribe
I currently have the stick and throttle for my hotas setup getting one SPECIFICALLY for the hind and blackshark
any chance you could make a detailed video about skippin alignment with inu points?
I cannot give Rudder controls to the pedals in my Xbox controller. Also my joystick is a bit stuck, idk why
Pretty good format, like the narration !
Thanks! Narrating like this is a lot easier to put together compared to live commentary, so I'm very glad you're enjoying it!
How did you get head movement set up on your gamepad? Specifically when you use both bumper modifiers to change your view position?
There's bindings in DCS called something like "Absolute Camera Shift Horizonal/Vertical" that I'm using for this
Nice video! Would you happen to have files that you can install for the gamepad?

Could also just have less capacity
@@hydrastrike2699 Nope, with 2 external fuel tanks the shark contains 7300 pounds of fuel.
What server are you doing this on? It looks fun

I thought I was the only one flying with an xbox controller lol

Are they going to include the ka 50 3 in the campaign?
No. Campaigns and modules are two separate purchases. The only exception is clear bundles that specifically state both module and campaign
Cool video. But Xbox?
Yup! Welcome to my channel where I play DCS with a console controller.
The Ka-50 is boooss
💯
When I realized he was flying with a controller and saw the inaccurate, clunky, slow aiming of it....I threw up a little in my mouth.
You call it "throw up", I call it "second breakfast"
@@Tuuvas Touchè, sir...touchè.
