Hey pilots! Tricker here and I want to welcome you to my channel on combat aviation. I'm a real world pilot in the Airbus 319/320/321 series and I enjoy DCS World, Falcon BMS, Falcon 4.0, IL-2 Sturmovik, X-plane 11, and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.
If you want to fly WWII aircraft over Normandy and the English Channel, then DCS World WWII is for you and they have plenty of aircraft to choose from such as the BF-109, FW-190, Spitfire, P-47 Thunderbolt, and P-51 Mustang. If you enjoy modern aerial combat then you want to focus more on DCS World products such as the F-16, A-10C Warthog, AH-64D Apache, F-15, F-14, JF-17, SU-27, Mirage, Mig-29, F-18 Hornet, Mi-8, Mi-24 Hind, Uh-1 Huey, Ka-50, F-5, Mig-21, AV-8b Harrier, and the F-4 Phantom. Some of the mods that are out there for DCS World are the F-22 Raptor, SU-57, A-4 Skyhawk, Rafale, and Gripen.
I enjoy other games such as Total War, Battlefield, War Thunder, Escape from Tarkov, as well as Squad.

dont hold the trigger longer than 40 sec or reachin 40 N1, whichever occurs first, otherwise start abort and ventilate.

keep up the nice content, your shorts are rockin ;)
@@moloh2529 good tip mr pilot man 🫡
Why not just play warthunder instead? That game is actually fun!
Looks so realistic.
@@Macwylee idk? maybe bc you want an extremely realistic flight simulator?
Insert Fortunate Son Cassette into the music player, rewind the cassette, crank volume all the way to the right to full volume and then press the play button.
The most important part of start-up
Cassette? Don't you mean 8-track?
8 track bro
@@leeduke9518 bro I realise it would have been an 8-track, I didn't know what it was until now XD
When in air, change the track from fortunate son, to Wagners Ride of the Valkyries. When facing enemy, change track to CCR Bad moon rising, and engage enemy with Mighty-mouses, gunners 50.cals and the crews M-60s
“PILOT WE NEED TO GET THESE WOUNDED SOLDIERS OUT NOW!”
“Hold on I have to press pretty much every button here!”
😂😂😂
*Sir, without Fortunate Son this flying junk ain't gonna take off*
Yeah like what the hell. Honestly it is nuts how many switches and such aircraft need.
No wonder why experienced pilots are so valued haha.
Huey is actually pretty simple.
@@MrCarlos93B Compared to others yes, but basically hes saying you need some damn training haha
You can never start a huey without turning on a radio that plays fortunate son.
Negative, i cranked one the other day with Paint It Black 🤠🤟💯😎
@@ianmangham4570 yeah that works too, sorry forgot to mention, any vietnam war songs basically
This joke is so worn out. Enough already Jesus Christ.
@@ZaphnathPaneayou mustn't believe in vietnam
I’m pretty sure that’s a standard feature 🇺🇸😎
Dude... there are so many switches I am ignoring.. no wonder half the takeoffs ended in fireballs... thank you, as always!
There's a reason why pilots have a pre-takeoff check list!
@@JM64 🙄
😁😉🤣👍
I'll over rotate and crash 😁😞🤣
Actually its easier to start than my plane. Was designed for 19 year olds to fly and maintain.
That’s cool. I’m a line service guy so seeing this helped me understand what they’re doing more or less before take off
Minus the atis, clearance, taxi instructions, various other checklists etc
Dont be flying over Alaska bud
Why cant the engineers incorporate one starting switch that turns on all of those other ones automatically? Or put them all in order under the word "Start"?
@@TheFrenchPug because then it would be to easy for an idiot highjacker to start. Planes/Helicopter's/Trains biggest deterrent is a criminal not wanting to learn. If given the chance to learn through a school to operate one of these vehicles, you think they'd waste their time trying to steal one after the fact? No. They'd rather get a career. That's why there's a long start sequence. Not only that, in case of emergency, you can turn off certain things in the starting sequence to level off and land safely.
@@TheFrenchPug 9/11 was an inside job. September 10th 2001. $2.3 TRILLION dollars went missing. No one cares though. Tell my why a terrorist, would go through school to learn how to fly an airplane. When that school costs a shit ton of money. And time. They found his wallet in the wreckage? Yeah okay. You don't just hop on the sticks and know what to do. It's not fuckin GTA. Just another government cover-up.
"Tank, I need a pilot program for a UH-1 Huey."
But do you know kung fu?
@@DarkMatterX1 Neo still does.
Solid reference!!!!!!!
You think that's air you're breathing?
That line actually references the bell 212 if I recall, a twin engine huey derivative.
"Put on Psy-war op, play it loud. Romeo Foxtrot shall we dance."
We’ll be comin over the rising sun 😎
Comment I was waiting for
I was a UH1 flight instructor in the Army, the throttle was set by feel for start, not with idle release button popping out.
Yah I wish we could go off feeling in a simulator
@@TrickerDCS Appeal to reality in a simulator. 😄
Former AH - 1 crew chief/Powertrain and Rotor instructor at Ft. Eustis here...
You could also add: pre-flight, make sure you have a"Snoopy tool" to fasten random DZUS fasteners, and make sure the crew chief remembered to remove main and tail rotor tie downs... 😂
I logged under a huey with two pilots from nam. I was more afraid the mechanic would fail than the pilot. They could put the 150' long line right in your hand. Thank you for your service. There is no sexier machine than the iroquois.
@@HeAdChEeSe1983 it's definitely dependable! That's why the Cobra is basically a Huey just in a skinny airframe. The army said, " we want a Huey but make it 36 inches wide..." Bell Helicopter said, " Hold my beer..."
Same engine, blades, transmission. 42 and 90 degree gearboxes (initially) so that tells you the Iroquois is a dependable aircraft.
In JROTC, our Colonel was a Huey pilot in vietnam with 9th SOS. He would challenge us to try starting a huey in the flight sim on full settings. Then he would show us how to do it. After 40 years he still knew all the startups.
awesome
As someone who totally didn't just stollen a Uh-1 Huey, this video is really useful
i wish i could have showed my grandpa this video. I bet it would bring back memories for him! He flew hueys in nam and flew them for OKC PD for years after NAM!
Yeah, memories of war are always so much fun 🙄
My first comment disappeared under TH-cam's weird-ass filter, so I can't edit it to add that I at least get the fact of piloting being a pleasurable thing, it's just a slippery slope when it comes to bringing back any bad association from combat, you know? It's important to keep that in mind for others.
@@illitero the local news found a MOH hero's challenge coin and he looked like he lost it on purpose 😢
🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸the stories he could tell
It's worring "close door" isn't at the first step 😂
It’s so you can listen for any strange noises during startup, also helps to cool the cabin on a hot day.
One less thing to do shoukd you need to egress a burning aircraft
@@russella7263 Right on thanks
Door left open to keep cabin cool. Once giant fan on roof is going you no longer need the open door.
I flew in a UH1 back in high school. That was awesome!
Yeah Me Too!!! Fort Hood In Explorer Scouts!!!
Me too!! I AFJROTC in Orlando, some kind of camp or something, i cant remember. But i fully remember flying over the florida swamps with the doors open and him tilting the helo almost sideways so we were looking directly down at the swamp and only held in by the harness. Awesome airframe.
“sir we need a quick take off”
“cannot comply.”

In newer Huey’s with semi newer radios half that stuff you did we don’t have to do anymore. Also all of the overhead knobs would be adjusted already like the AC power, ect, so you normally wouldn’t touch those. It’s literally, battery, fuel, hyd, throttle set, trigger start on. Done. It takes about a minute and a half to three and a half minutes from getting in the helicopter to being in the air. It’s pretty great
Yah for some reason DCS always resets the knobs to some odd positions. Thanks for the comment
@@TrickerDCS well if you’re like me and like letting kids play in the helicopter when you do a static display….. every switch and knob gets changed….. I still get yelled at for that… 😐… lol
The Airframe and Powerplant school I went to had one of these .. we Figured it out eventually . It was the most amazing fire up ever .. We forgot to disconnect the ground power unit and we push forward on the stick 😂😂 I don't think I have ever seen a ground power unit swing around in circles like that... luckily they had good handles in those Huey's back in the day. Won't ever forget it 🙏
I watched a seven-four forget to set its brakes and roll backwards yanking a GPU along with it and also crushing the security chocks we we’re using on it. That was neat
I love how all of these vehicles are so simple and easy to turn on. I mean how would you not remember all of these steps? Its only 40 consecutive things you gotta do just to start the damn thing. In case of an emergency you would be able to take off within a whopping 10 minutes after consulting the manual at least 5 times, thats super fast
I mean it’s only a FLYING CAR. There’s a lot that has to be done to keep that brick in the air safely.
Turbine engine aircraft are complex with a lot of ancillary systems, and bear in mind you're flying too so it's not like you just hit the breaks and stop at the side of the road if your engine stops working. You have to have engineering knowledge to know how to operate it.
This is super simple start up. There are much worse contenders. Try the Bell 206. You have a small window to introduce the fuel. Too early or too late and you have an engine melting hot start on your hands. The Huey is almost idiot proof in that regard.
Now it’s just, “Alexa, start helicopter”❗️😂
I wish that were true.
Youre not kidding.
Much more than starting a car. Thanks for the video. Had no idea it was this complicated.
Whenever I would want to reminisce this from back in the day, I’d sit on the washing machine & pretend to go through the start up procedure right before the washer would go on the spin cycle with a unbalanced load of clothes!
VTOL VR's good for me thanks lol
Looks kind of fun tho, glad some people can enjoy it but id forget the one switch you can take off without and pull the lightest of maneuvers just to drop out of the sky lmao
Becareful of what you are expecting from a Keyless Start System.
Respect to the vets that did this like their families lives depended on it.
Thank you.
No Fortunate Son button?
It's automatic, there's a microswitch wired to detect weight on skids so it starts playing once you take off.
@@wraith444don't forget the more throttle the louder it gets.
Right!
@@wraith444 😅😂
I was just going to ask Murdoc how it's done😂
I also need to start up some AH-64s, CH-53, CH-47s before July
no particular reason.
YEA BABY, finally, I've flown the heuy in DCS so much that it's like muscle memory and I can't start that thin in 1 minute tops (PS I'd recommend buying the paradise lost campaign really good story and loads of action)
Now I UNDERSTAND why as a Marine I was a Grunt! Clear front sight post center mass on a blurry target...slow, steady trigger squeeze...pink mist. In theory.
Being Infantry is simple. Not easy, just simple.
The details are so satisfying and needed. I love the written game plan of this
The word 'chopper',as a nickname for helicopter,comes from the sound that Huey makes.
Name checks out robot
You don’t need to hit the release switch to roll up the throttle. It will cam over on the way up and only stop on the way Down. Then you slightly roll the throttle off the detent press the switch and roll yo cut off.
I’ve read several different procedures. Seems to work both ways
@@TrickerDCS just unnecessary to do on startup
Correct, that is a safety switch to prevent accidentally rolling the throttle past idle into cutoff
It just depends on how fast you initially roll the throttle up.
I believe the OP here has it by the book. You go over the cut-off, safety snaps, rotate back to safety, engage it, rotate just past it.
Now I really want to ‘borrow’ an Iroquois, thanks for the info!👍🏻🇺🇸
It happened in the early 70’s, and the guy landed on the White House lawn.
@@MrCarlos93B I was gonna comment that exact same thing.
I think there is a Qxir video about it
Don't turn the ac switch off as that stops the big roof fan.
That sound when you turned on the Battery switch was niceee
I wonder if birds go through a check list before they take off..🤣
"Feather R-56, check!"
The venerable Huey did SAR duty in Germany.
The reaction time was about 15 minutes to location (maximum speed ~ 120 ktns). So it's possible to get off the ground in 30 seconds.
It's crazy when I was at Ft Rucker. I took a ride on a many of Hueys. Everytime I set foot on that whirly bird Fortunate Son always started playing in my head the moment I stepped in.
I now feel fully confident that I am ready to give this a try.
Dude just taught me how to save private Ryan
They didn't have helicopters in Saving Private Ryan u idiot 🙄
They didn't have helicopters in ww2
@@josephreilman8527
Gee Thanks Scoop!
@@josephreilman8527 They actually did but in enough numbers to make any significant difference on the war on the German side, and still in limited numbers on the Allied side.
The first combat rescue with a helicopter was in 1944.
I am never comfortable in a helo.
Updrafts and wind shearing kinda gives me the “is this it?” Vibes.
Instruction unclear i am now in space
Success, continue on my fortunate son.
How to start-up the Huey:
Step 1 : Play Fortunate Son
The ending was perfect.
Currently using this to start a Huey on a military base. Many thanks 🙏
Just a few more payday saves and the mighty high end PC will be mine. Cant hapoen soon enough, DCS is where its at. Great video sir.
That fortunate son at the end had me rolling
That’s me clued up now , next time I see a Huey helicopter parked up , I’m off for a joy ride.
Optionally just punch the circuit breaker panel
If you watch close you realize it is really easy to start it, yes it’s a good amount of switches, js need to know the certain ones in the right order. After you watch this a few times it really dosnt seem complicated.
Glad I saw this. Been trying for 3 days to get it going.
"Jeezus Christ! Forget it.. I'll just walk!"
LOL!
I was a 67N when I was in the Army. I love the Huey.
Thank you! I’m on my way to the nearest military airfield now!
Someone could definitely figure that out by themselves in an apocalypse scenario.
Now I know what to do when I break into my local military base! Thanks for the instructions
It’s probably best I don’t learn how to start it so as to not get myself killed afterwards.
Has two tracks: fortunate son and ride of the valkyries.
Huey's are so sexy. I used to log under one and this video made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. When you hear that unique pop pop pop from the huey you know it's on for a cycle. I enjoyed this video.
I watched the whole thing, I'm certified now. I'll be the guy in the movie that can fly the chopper.
Interesting video. Worked SH3 helicopters in the Navy.
Starting is the easy part..😄
You should be turning the battery switch on first, then inverter after you turn audio off and AC phase
This procedure was taken from several manuals
@@TrickerDCS ah idk then, we start ours up different irl. I also start mine up in dcs the way our pilots do irl with no issues either so I guess it all works
Set self destruct button on.Pull up ejection seat thru the rotor,turn on.
I'm never complaining about the F-18 startup again.
You have to make sure you have a door gunner with an M60 to yell out “Get Some!”
I know they were in a different helicopter in the movie.
And everyone sits on their helmets so they don't get their balls blown off! 😆
I note this on my book in case world end is happending
so i can atleast fly and listen to some cool music before i die
thanks, I now know how to start a Huey irl too!
Boutta return to 'Nam with this tutorial💯🔥🔥
Thank you so much for this short. I love helicopter flying, I wish to be a heli pilot one day. DCS is s good start, but reading through all of the flight manuals can be a chore sometimes.
Graduated from high school At Christmas break in 1982, a year and a half later I finished the ch47 Chinook program retired in April of 2009.
Thank you for your service
Saved this video incase some crazy shit happens and there is an abandoned huey outside my suburb home, Ill know how to start it up.
i enjoy watching those even tho i never played dcs and never will play
Please, please, please make a video like this for EVERY aircraft in MSFS 2020…. What a great friggin vid for a great friggin aircraft!!!!!
"WHO CAN FLY THIS THING?!"
"It ain't me. IT AIN'T MEEE..."
Best comment
Can you remove the doors?
I want a UH-60 gunship in DCS, but I would only buy it if I could remove the doors. It’s essential.
You can’t remove them but they slide back
They need to make a game like this but with ground vehicles so we all know how to turn them on and use them hahaha
"Throw the uh, UHF-2... Circuit breaker."
-A Wise Man
Thank you for sharing this sir. Much appreciated.
"GET THIS HELI IN THE AIR RIGHT NOW!"
*"close the doors."*
Now I know how to start that thing in the back-yard! !:^)
What a palaver.
hopefully are are a few master switches or buttons in the future military tech. So many switches just to get it going
Imagine how streamlined and automatic this whole process would be, if these were sold to the public and not specialty license only. Feels like it just came out of the inventor's factory without the automatic integration modern machines have.
Huey is not exactly new, and -- surprise -- with many steps comes the possibility to stop at any and roll back if you notice stuff ain't working the way it should.
Wow, my thought of ever flying a helicopter in an apocalyptic situation is now thrown out the window. I’ll take the chevy.
its only a minute to start up or 2
You COULD leave the caution on audio and just get cool sounds the whole time
Yeah... You got me "Gas Producer" then I forgot everything that came after that.
Your start up process is a little outside the -10 procedure. I also believe the starter is held till 40% on the N1 for no more than 45 seconds. The Cobra -10 says 35 seconds. It’s the same engine, but I remember our Huey pilots setting the clock for 45 on the UH-1H
Thanks! I’ll know this next time I sneak into my local military base!
Very interesting 👍👍! Would love how to start this helicopter ❤
Damn, I never knew it took that many steps to start a helicopter! I always thought that they crank up like a 2004 Honda Civic with 3 - 4 extra switches.. 😂
You may want to turn your rpm alarm back on after getting the rotors up to speed
Future soldier will laughing at loud for very complicated action just to start the engine 😂😂😂
All helicopter pilots have the sane voice
You misunderstand how the idle release button works. You don't need to press it to set throttle to idle. You just rotate it past the detent (open controls indicator to see where that position is) and then rotate it back until it stops. The button is only used to rotate it back into stop position.
This is a true statement
To Capt. Bart . 'Thank You' "SIR"
OR if you want to start it up in under 15 seconds:
Battery - Fuelpump - Throttle to idle - Start.
Then do the rest of the startup after start-release at 40% :)
Source: Flown it since '13.
You can do this as well yep
Yeah I think I'll just get my pilots license....
Damn...I can guarantee my father wouldn't have needed this video. He flew Huey gunships in Vietnam
I was a 67Nov at Ft Rucker and flying a Huey is one of the easier ones to fly I have many memories on that bird yes it's as easy as driving a car...
Thanks for the quick how to. Now I can sneak out and snag one of those bad boys for myself! 😅🤣😂
