Communications set up and basic use in the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior | DCS World

[@tangle60r]

Very cool module with cooler pilot

[@JTACRIFLE]

This is great and to the point. Thanks so much for sharing your skills and experience in this bird.

[@tridan2448]

Another awesome tutorial thanks Casmo.

[@aaronwhite1786]

The first time trying ATC and radios in a flight sim makes you really respect just the massive multitasking task that pilots have to go through just to pay attention to the world around them. I genuinely can't imagine being able to focus on comms with my co-pilot, something like an A-10 flight overhead, all while talking and coordinating with JTAC or ground troops at the same time.

[@Johnwilkinsonofficial]

more stoked about the Kiowa than the Apache button 👍🏻

[@MaxB.20]

If you setup your SRS radio 1 through 4 as 4 distinct PTT (Warthog throttle 3 to 6 (radio switch) for example) and with "Radio switch works as PTT" + 2nd, 3rd and 5th following options in the SRS settings, you can have your AH-64D Radios working the same way as they do in the Kiowa, this is what i did, as i cant stand the realistic version (even if i did made a profile for it), usability over realism. And your comment over the superiority of this setup for the Kiowa cimented my POV. thanks as always for the great video !

[@CasmoTV]

I’ve done that for all my modules

[@MaxB.20]

@@CasmoTV Me too, its my default profile for my main (Hornet, in my squadron), and i found out it was better for the Apache just because i forgot to select the Apache profile one time :D

[@kwdoc1172]

Thanks for the video Casmo. It was a blast serving with you back in the day. AATW!

[@jared9191]

I'm throwing money at the screen and nothing is happening

[@MieWRLDD]

i cant wait for this heli, ive been learning the apache with ur guides since this got announced to come out so soon, helps me fill the void till its here ♥

[@paulmartinek1716]

Can't wait to be able to fly, thanks for another awesome video!

[@nexus888]

Amazing wisdom. A true helo God gracing the world with your presence.

[@wallerrichard]

Thanks for the kick ass content man.

[@dethiusa2591]

tears from tip 🥲 I still remember a certain B trp 1-17th CPT in 09’ KAF proceeded to take off when I was filling the radios in the aft avionics bay.. felt the skids start to chatter, immediately started banging on the side 😂😂😂. Dude was SF, Ranger, was prior enlisted, warrant and at that point commissioned, so needless to say he was tired, you probably know exactly who I’m talking about … side note is 036 roadrunner one of the available tail numbers?? Keep up the good work man.

[@MattMousseau-to4gw]

You Sir, are the man.

[@shabbytv9680]

It's 3AM here in Germany and i watched all of casmos OH58-D Videos. Thank you for your tutorials and thoughts :) Much love from Germany!!

[@171-OC]

Nice one M8... Well Done...

[@IFR_HeliToursVR]

Came back to brush up after starting to play on Rotorheads (Voodoo). My only gripe with the kiowa is not having a gunner AI like the Apache, sometimes i just wanna be the taxi driver and not have to jump seats. If i had a nickle for everytime the handbrake went places it shouldn't 😂😂

[@XCougar85X]

Looks good!

[@johnchristian664]

Love the outro music!

[@felippejonsson6078]

Thank you

[@celricaviation]

Another great one!

[@poochies0316]

Nice beats the RTS scrolling on longbow 😌

[@maxpower3050]

Can't believe how much I've forgotten in eleven years. I have my Pilot and MTP check list. I'm going to spend hours on the ground.

[@CasmoTV]

Yeah it’ll come back to you

[@Murdock47]

OOOOOOh I was hoping this would be next! Cheeyars!

[@shagrat47]

Yeah, that's indeed easier to handle than the Apache comms. If it's not a classified topic, could you tell us a bit more about the frequency planning and comms table in a typical AO? Like team (FM1) that's easy, Ground Force on FM2, but which radio is used to work with TOC or other controlling agencies? Do you monitor e.g. TOC/CAOC or only "check in" with higher for tasking? Are there mandatory comms to monitor at all times? What happens if you fly in a larger group, say company, do you use a specific radio for company network on all lead aircraft on the teams? ...some insight in the practical application would be fantastic. 🥰

[@shd4618]

Making comms sound easy and interesting.

[@tonymcflattie2450]

You are on GUAAAAARD!

[@Memsfan01]

im so hyped for the kiowa. somebody needs to lase for the Phantom lol

[@greglewandowski504]

Keep getting ERR in radio when changing preset frequencies. Anyone else having that problem?

[@Barundus]

We should start a channel or log counting all the times we mention "Why this human-machine interface and software is better than Boeing's", lol.

[@CasmoTV]

A number much higher than 1.

[@tommyuk329]

Having issues with ATC not responding at airfields, for landing, takeoff etc. Comms are on correct frequencies, but still nothing.

[@indyjons321]

I feel like PC could make a really good Blackhawk module.

[@Chaos8282]

Wow I completely forgot they were working on the Kiowa lol

[@SniperSal]

Another great video Casmo! Question: Is it possible to add/edit the frequency channel name in the mission editor?

[@CasmoTV]

Not sure.

[@SniperSal]

@@CasmoTV Guess we'll find out in a week or two? 🤞

[@daviddavids8218]

Request assistance. I want to change channel 118.000 to 118.300 for Creech. I delete the number, then ADD and using the numerical pad on the Kiowa, I get to 11_, and thats it, I cannot get the 8 or anything else in. I have recycled the game on off, the number is still deleted but I can't get any further. Any idea what I'm doing wrong. Thanks for any input

[@petebray3998]

Can anyone help me… I’ve just got Kiowa but cannot communicate with my AI wingman, I’ve been using the comms menu but he doesn’t respond?? Any ideas?

[@agidotexe7167]

buddy lasing gbu12's for teammates is gonna be awesome!

[@DisguisedHawk-eu5jv]

given its similar size to the huey, how does it fly compared to it?

[@CasmoTV]

Mo better

[@samueljohnson4358]

Have you covered using the drone video link?

[@CasmoTV]

No. Frankly it doesn’t do much cause the drones in DCS don’t do much

[@samueljohnson4358]

@@CasmoTV thank you. I figured as much so I thought I’d ask. I thought perhaps maybe there was some new functionality

[@griffincheng]

Good as usual! But I want to know how to hover.

[@noseyparker8130]

Same way you get to Carnegie Hall. Practice, man, practice.

[@griffincheng]

@@noseyparker8130 sorry, I meant how difficult would it be to get hover - OA-6 or Ka-50?

[@flightsimulatoradventures7246]

Can tell your haven too much fun with this.

[@SpearHead1011]

Bro that was the most confusing shit I have seen yet. Your other videos was on point but this one

[@CasmoTV]

Sounds like operator error. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ImpendingJoker]

Casmo does this model have the mechanical disconnect for the left seaters cyclic?

[@CasmoTV]

Not that I’m aware.

[@ImpendingJoker]

@@CasmoTV I guess they don't see the need as you can just choose not to map the cyclic axis for that side. Thanks for info.

[@racingtheweb]

Any idea when this fantastic Mod will be out?

[@CasmoTV]

Soon

[@dunbar555]

ok, tell me about the release date ! My PC is at the repair shop until tuesday ! what a nightmare :)

[@mattthacker9120]

Pro tip: Learn how to upgrade, and repair your own PC. Its not that hard, and you will save money.

[@dunbar555]

@@mattthacker9120dude. Thank you. I built this pc myself (like my 4 previous ones). Getting blue screen of death in DCS , I spent 3 days doing everything. Updating BIos , revering back to intel safe setting, doing all the memtest86, intel CPU test etc , I was still getting them. After 3 days I gave up. I didn’t have the parts to swap and isolate the source of the problem

[@mattthacker9120]

​@@dunbar555 Understood. Hope you get it sorted!

[@GreyZone7]

Why so I understand this is an early access for the select few ?

[@CasmoTV]

This is standard release practice for just about every video game on the market. So yes this is preview access to help drive sales when the product eventually releases. I’ll assume this is an honest question and not something else.

[@Fahreun]

@@CasmoTV It sure drive the sales i'll instabuy it!

[@mattthacker9120]

That's the same with almost all games.
