Mi-24P Hind: Cold Start Tutorial | DCS WORLD

[@D20000]

@@michelestefanini5466 because there are so many buttons all around you like in most russian planes and heli's it looks very different to the way other countries assort there buttons and switches. (less intuitive = russians).

I loved that detail too, but that is why the blades on them were made out of rubber too as it could and did happen on the real Russian aircraft.

[@vuzz5728]

There's something so charming about those old clunky soviet cockpits

[@anykeyson]

The fan's blades are actually made from rubber so you can't miss your fingers if you touch it while moving. I tried this once in a life:)

[@alexstarnes]

Hi GR, you have mentioned dust protection and that you have to leave it on. I would like to add that you MUST turn it off when taking off and in flying. If you don't turn it off it will lead to electrical power loss at max collective.

[@slowhornet4802]

If it has to be off during take off and flying when can it be on? Only at the ground when parking?

[@alexstarnes]

@@slowhornet4802 It is there mainly to filter out sand and dust that is flying into the engines while the hind is parked or taxiing and rotors are spinning. If you are curious turn it on and fly for 3-5 min. You'll see your electricals will start to die.

[@grimreapers]

Good tip!

[@cutlass6332]

I have to say this is defo the best one out of all the rest I looked at to relearn the startup

[@quadg5296]

start the downwind engine first. then you don't have exhaust interfering with the downwind engine start. when the rotors are up to speed this is not an issue. you need to know the wind direction anyway so its not a wasted step. it helps you not to forget to check wind direction.

[@grimreapers]

thx

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

This is one of the coolest a$$ helicopters of all time. So glad to finally see it in the game

[@D20000]

It is the bes. I love the cold war planes and heli's the most because they have something RAW about them. Raw and beastly scary. But then i'm flying in a F14B and getting destroyed by F16 and F18..

[@dexterfalgout6797]

Unless DCS World has changed this, anytime you have a scroll function knob, such as the Cabin Pressure or the Throttle on the collective, you can simply scroll your mouse wheel while hovering over it to roll it forward or back.

[@robh4671]

Excellent best tutorial so far.

[@realomon]

Russian pilots must have six arms to be able to do an emergency take off

[@Mightymoose02]

Great tutorial! Looking forward to the rest of the Hind vids.

[@danielharris3827]

Very useful, thanks Cap!

[@zastava1459]

I love how you could stop the cabin fan with an imaginary finger

[@tomj.7599]

I used a free trial. Well, rudder pedals are essential. It's hard to fly even with Thrustmaster Warthog. But great looking sim 100%.

[@theonefrancis696]

I agree. The rudder is super sensitive, I had to apply a good amount of curve to smooth it out.

[@darkest_eclipse8271]

The rudder is absolutely essential when taking off as that’s when you’ll feel it’s effects the most. Otherwise it’s not too bad though it is by far the strongest out of the other helicopters.

[@notproplayer3649]

I can take off quite well without using rudder pedals so no, I wouldn't say they are essential though I'm sure you have a better time flying the helo with the pedals than me.

[@darkest_eclipse8271]

@@notproplayer3649 please tell me your secrets. The rudder likes to swing me hard whenever on take off.

[@theonefrancis696]

@@darkest_eclipse8271 Be extremely gentle when ruddering on takeoff, or the chopper will start spinning,

[@Decrepit_biker]

Just one thing Cap, any switch with a cover you don't have to switch off before closing that cover. The cover is designed to be easy to see and close in an emergency thus closing the switch. Would save you an extra mouse click 😉

[@grimreapers]

thx

[@Air-Striegler]

That´s not completely true. Some covers will move the switch under it to it´s original position when closed, however others will not. The covers that won´t usually have a rectangular whole that when flipped back will act as a mechanical security for keeping the switch in position. The Hind like many other Russian aircraft features both types of switch covers. An example for the latter type of "security switch cover" would be the left and right red fire enine valve cover located on the left side panel of the hind.

[@Decrepit_biker]

@@Air-Striegler I wasn't aware of the type that allow the cover to hold the switch open, I have only ever come across the other type as I had described in the machine tool and motorsport industry. Every day is a school day!

[@grimreapers]

[@nymerie]

It actually does matter which engine you start! If the wind is coming from the left, you start the right engine first and vice versa.

[@grimreapers]

thx

Huge thanks

Why did you turn on main autopilot also? For C&D start ony 3 switches - autopilot channels. Click on the “ВКЛ” (On) buttons for the “КРЕН” (Roll), “ТАНГАЖ” (Pitch) and “НАПРАВЛЕНИЕ” (Direction/Yaw) channels.

[@airportsmanchester]

Can you run that by me one more time lol

[@trolleriffic]

They need a green button...sorry, that should be a red button comrade.

[@Lucifer-qt9gh]

Left win home. All done.

[@Spooky_32]

0:36 is totally wrong. The right side circuit breaker panel is *not* just for weapons - it’s for fire protection, anti icing and some fuel pumps too. The weapons circuit breakers are split across both panels. How did you come to the conclusion they are just for weapons when only a few of the switches actually are?

[@manoomunicnent1773]

Nice clear instructions but just one nigle. The cockpit was a bit dark. Maybe if parked with sunlight illuminating the controls these vids would be clearer. Cheers.

[@HellToupee1]

you can just spin the mouse wheel instead of clicking and dragging for rotaries.

[@Plumsytheghillieone]

I'm worried about your diet, are you ok? :/

[@Tamburello_1994]

Perhaps you should stick with FS2020?

[@trolleriffic]

I would hope you could get an A320 going faster than a Hind. It's much newer technology with far more computer control and has a lot less to do because it's an airliner rather than a helicopter gunship. No optional rocket pods and ATGMs on an A320 unfortunately! Also, because airlines are always trying to cut costs, Airbus placed a big emphasis on simple and consistent control systems and interfaces to make it easier and quicker to train pilots and let them move between aircraft without having to relearn everything. Military hardware is all about getting the job done first and foremost, and simplicity is far less important because airmen are expected to just get on and learn this stuff.

[@springbok4015]

​@@trolleriffic Solid response and fair comment. I think I did expect a military helicopter to be a little quicker to get going even when considering the age. The A320 is only around 10 years younger than the Mi-24P. Mi-24P is for sure a force to be reckoned with and not something anyone wants to encounter when on the ground.
