It's probably the most complex jet in the game! Rewarding once you get the hang though :)

ooh-er! Have you got the tpod screen as SOI? Which type of tpod are you using?

@@dfpoor yeah. The fuselage really sponges up your ammo so you need to aim for the wings on these. Normally i aim a bit closer to the wing root but that shot worked out nicely.

@@_MarkV_ I'm not sure if it's a DCS thing or if it's my stick or my drivers, but whenever I first load up DCS the stick is insanely sensitive until I do a full sweep of it's range of motion. I think it's some sort of a self-calibration thing going on. In any case, I'm trying to reinforce the habit in myself of sweeping the controls before I fly since things can get hairy on takeoff if I don't!

@@GotSpaceGame well in that case I don’t blame you! Again good videos for the time poor like myself 👍

Phreakin' great plane innit!

Check out the playlist. My LGB tutorial does just that! Or do you mean dropping unguided bombs in tgt find? I've been working on that but i'm finding it hard to drop accurately.

I have a waypoint set over the target on the mission editor. It depends on the mission though - the mission maker might put coordinates in the briefing notes or have them radioed in to you mid-mission.

You can also choose a location and have Jester enter it and you just fly to the target.

@@dons3006 I've not done navigation tutorials in any planes yet as i'm still trying to figure out how to structure it in my 3 minute task-orientated format.... It's something i do want to try at some point though.

@@GotSpaceGame Thanks!

@@dons3006 Thanks!

My understanding is that’s for a manual release. It’s in good practice to do so, In case of failure for radar lock, etc.

Yeah it's not really necessary in DT mode. The drag of the various slick bombs is also so close that even that barely matters if you're dropping a couple at a time as well. It's A bit more important with clusters though as the bomblets are more draggy.

you need to turn the dispenser to the "on" position , not "off" or "bypass" . The switch is located right behind the stick and named "Dispenser"

@@mojopy01 it seems to be the plan. They'll probably want to sort out the issues with weight and get the sling loaded cargo working first while it's still in early Access with the Chinook

Glad you found it useful! Most DCS fans are of the age where we have a lot of work and family commitments, and DCS itself can be a big time-sink, so i always try to respect my viewers' time.

@@GotSpaceGame that’s exactly where I’m at haha. Thanks again man!

As explained in paragraph 2 of the video description: "It's also worth noting that the Chinook is in the very first stages of early access."

@@Maxcism yeah ... The core sim engine is pretty old so stuff like that gets added as-and-when. Rotor wash only started to blow the grass around this year, and it was a couple of updates from then until jetwash did the same thing. For me, cosmetic stuff like that is nice to have but I'm more interested in seeing realistic flight, system and AI modelling.... Plus things like the dynamic campaign and full world map which are pretty exciting.

True. It's best practice to be able to release quickly if things start to get borked though. Also the switches are important, especially if you're having trouble dropping cargo so I wanted to show where they are and give an idea of their use.

<install directory>\DCSWorld\Mods\aircraft\CH-47F\Doc In there you will find the Chinook Early Access Guide by ED. Page 135.

Bob is the Chinook's equivalent of an AI autopilot (confusing name as a lot of helicopters also have a bob-up button for holding position) It's marked as work in progress for now and it's pretty limited, but it can hold a decent hover, fly forwards and backwards and make yaw turns at low speeds, and kinda hold a cruise at higher speeds. It's a simple engage/disengage button (I put it in the kerbind list at the end of this vid) and then you control speed and yaw with the cyclic controls

It's mentioned in the manual but the info is VERY sparse.

@@DonCheedle-y9z yeah- you'll usually get a bit more range on RWS and you can also scan a wider azimuth more quickly. Personally I think the benefits of TWS normally outweigh the drawbacks, but it's always a situational thing. Best of luck after the redundancy and I hope everything works out.

@@Nebulachadlazzar hey! I've not made any tutorials for the Mudhen since the whole Razbam/ED debacle. I've not gone so far as some other KZbinrs to delete videos on RB modules but I'm hesitant to put new stuff up until it's resolved. I'll keep the topic in mind though in case (and I really do hope) the situation changes.

@@GotSpaceGame I see, thanks for the honesty, I have just been finding it very difficult to delete waypoints in the F-15 since no one has made a video on it.
