DCS | SA-342 Gazelle Start-Up/Weapons/Avionics/Systems/NADIR | Tutorial

[@alligator5706]

I have not went through the entire video yet, but I really appreciate how in-depth and well recorded things are so far. I'm currently learning the Gazelle as a new module and finding good and current information on it has not been too easy! This is a video I'll keep going back to, certainly.

[@tomaszwota1465]

A quality video. Insta-sub. Thank you for all the time you've spent on it.

[@lennyjei806]

Hey Sly! Fantastic job! I'm happy that I found the way to your channel! Absolutely live the way and how easy you are flying the Gaz! Keep it up!

[@JohnDGregory]

Great idea with the ground power, I've been flying the Gaz since the release and never thought that possible. I'm guessing that it will allow the RWR to warm up earlier too.

[@sly-dcs2600]

Yes sir! RWR will be good to go by the time you're spooled up, blades turning.

[@countvonaltibar236]

absolutely fantastic video top notch

[@hakunaRC]

Excellent! Thanks much. I'd love to see a full tutorial from you on Ka-50 Navigation and Datalink use...

Interesting tip about the ground power, I've been doing it the "long way" this whole time. I'd also like to add for any new people seeing this, the Gaz auto-hover is very sensitive to the position of the fuel lever. if you have it bound to an axis, a seemingly minor bump that you wont really be able to notice on the RPM gauge will prevent the auto-hover system activating.

[@sly-dcs2600]

Glad I could help out in that regard, and thank you for the response! I just tested your above statement about the minor bump disabling AP and it's indeed true. I've never experienced that issue before, but I'm sure it could be more common for others depending on your control setup. I would suspect that shouldn't be the case though, because as I understand it the alternator provides AC power and should remain on as long as RPM's are above 41300. A small bump shouldn't cause the alternator to turn off, therefore I'm lead to believe that might be a bug in the programming.

[@jabawocki9462]

Whats worse is some entry level throttles, or throttles that are older have a "warble" in terms of signal strength/consistency at the extremes of thier axis. This can lead to DCS getting a less than "full forward" input at random, even though the physical throttle of the user is shoved to the stops.

[@RoamingAdhocrat]

how does NADIR estimate windspeed when you're on the ground…? surely it's done by comparing heading and airspeed with track and groundspeed

[@nicolaskrinis7614]

Very nice, thanks. Can you please add where the fuel flow filter is? Took me an hour to find on Google :)

[@Kaneguy]

I may have missed it but I did not see you activate the trim switch on start up. Is it necessary to activate the trim switch?
