Given there are 50 years of fog since I started a Huey this is a good tutorial.

Setting throttle for start from tm 55-1520-210-10 "throttle set for start. Position the throttle as near as possible (on the decrease side) to the engine idle stop. The thought here is if you have a runaway start you don't have to mess with the idle stop. We would turn to full throttle turn back to the idle stop. Press the idle stop and decrease just a bit more.

Fantastic tutorial, thanks so much.

The detail in DCS is absolutely mind blowing. The knowledge Cap has is mind blowing too. Cold starts are still so intimidating to me but this was super helpful.

Hello Cap hope You're doing fine. After a 6 months break with DCS, it still always an AWESOME tutorial. Thank You very much again Sir. Greetings from France ^_^

Super thanks

I wonder how the DCS world manages sounds to make them so realistic. I wonder, did they record literally every throttle position and transition that an aircraft could make or is it just changing the speed of the sound file it’s playing.

A simpler way is L WIN Home, which puts the startup in auto sequence mode. Takes away all the hard work of remembering what switches to push. Same with shutdown, which is L WIN End

I'm trying to do one of the helicopter ops missions delivering a load. It's -1C outside and I can't get the engine past 25% even with ground power attached. I might have worn out the battery but I did a repair and that didn't help. How do I get this started?

2:35 I wonder where that myth comes from. Zeroing the _barometric_ altimeter is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life, and it's paricularly popular in civil aviation. Just generates bad habits and it will never be safe to rely on that. There's a reason for radalts existing and if you don't have one, use your friggen eyes. 6:04 That's what I usually keep forgetting XD 7:02 Didn't know anything about that dot / plus thing there. Guess I leant something which I didn't expect actually :D 7:17 I have to correct that step: Check if the side doors are open. If not, slide them open. Next step: Make sure either "Ride of the Valkyries" or "Fortunate Son" is ready to play on huge speakers placed somewhere in the back and the volume is cranked to eleven. Also you should have mentioned the flare dispenser setup which should be ready just in case. Has to be switched on and the counter cranked to 30.

@@CakePrincessCelestia I know how a baralt works. The way your comment read makes you seem like you don't. It shouldn't necessarily ready the MSL but the correct barometric pressure would be entered, which is given by tower.

@@blackhatch46 Well then probably just my wording sucks. I don't see a point in setting QFE, let's say it that way. QNH, which at least roughly is altitude above MSL simply makes more sense to me as it roughly shows your actual altitude. The only point I see in setting QFE is guaranteeing all planes in controlled airspace are set to the same value so the coordination works out - but you'd get that equally well when all set the QNH. Setting QFE instead literally zeroes out the altimeter on the airfield ground level. Might be usable as long as you stay around, but as soon as you leave that airspace or the weather changes (without you adapting your baralt to it), it gives you a false impression of altitude.

I can't seem to find a tutorial for shutting down the huey. Do you have one please? P.s. thank you so much for all the tutorials:)

Thank you, this is much clearer now. Once again, I do not understand why DCS develops such an awesome module with poor training tutorial. It was very frustrating to crash the aircraft because of inaccurate tutorial and probably also inappropriate default hotas mapping. Regards

They modeled battery degradation? Huey is my most flown module and I've never noticed it. Now I want to get a battery failure mid-flight lol. Can you test?

The real UH-1H collective stick has a Start trigger switch behind and below the control box, meaning we can't get to it to mouse click it. The DCS UH-1H Flight Manual, page 72, figure 6.1 Fuel system schematic, shows that you can apparently use the Idle Release Switch [ Start Switch (this game only) ] on the collective to start the engine, though I can't get it to work yet. Of course, you can program any button on your throttle quadrant or joystick for engine start so you don't have to use the Home key...

Send the maker a bug Cap... This chopper needs to be revamped. WE NEED better control For accurate flying. Preferably hover. This heli is awesome.. And has very good controls.. ON DCS it's a slug.. Won't hold still at all for me. Perhaps real controls (HOTAS) will make a difference but mine doesn't. lol Can't see cargo either while loaded. Those little things.. hahah

ngl sometimes the blades spin but it wont go above 20 so i just give it some throttle and it fixes it lol
