Very nice. But you sort of forgot that when you had the azimuth line in the center, you should just follow 094 and keep the line centered - i.e. use both the ADF and the compass.

[@grimreapers]

Understood

[@mariushusejacobsen3221]

One way to figure out your distance is to navigate at an offset (e.g. 30 degrees from straight at it), and see how far the bearing drifts as you cover a given distance. Then do some trig (or look up in a table) to find your distance. Another method is if you can measure the direction to two beacons - where the bearing lines intersect is where you are. And finally there's the option of the GPS module ;) FWIW, using the ADF switch in the F-18, the correct behavior would be that it would point at anyone transmitting on that channel in SRS. If not, that would be a limitation in SRS.

[@jehlybean636]

If anyone is curious (4 years after this video was posted), you don't have to turn the dial to 094, or any number at that, if it's a LOC. This is only if it is a VOR. 094 would be great to know once you center your LOC needle and you just start flying a heading of 094.

[@alexanderblix6544]

Well 3 seconds in and i'm interested even though i don't own the Huey

[@WyvernFalken]

Squish. Squish. Squish. Squish. LMAO I'm dying.

[@swells66]

FM Homing.... There are two identical antennas, one on each side of the aircraft. The needle is not a course line, it merely tells you which side of the aircraft is getting a stronger signal strength. This points you in the right, or 180 degrees in the wrong direction. That is why it seems to be so jumpy as you attempt to fly it like a localizer.

[@grimreapers]

awesome thx

[@JamesW81]

Missed a trick there Cap.... That Wav file could have been Fortunate Son!

[@mintymoore6054]

You learn something new every day. Thank you

[@lastsonofktn]

Awesome show. I learned a bunch on navigation in the Huey very quickly thanks to this.

[@Mich_Angel]

To the point tutorial, great work thank you for sharing :D

[@isaacneuman3170]

Thanks for an amazing video as usual. From my IFR training, once you center the needle - have a peek to DG to see the correct heading to follow, this will make it easier. It will be a bit more complicated with a wind factor, however chasing the needle is getting harder in fast moving aircraft.

[@Rozzco]

Thats was a great radar tutorial.. Very helpful.

[@lineage3753]

Thanks for your video mate, helps a lot!

[@manu777tube]

Excellent video, very interesting to learn navigation through radio. In some missions you have to go through waypoints, I suppose there is no way to identify them except with approximate heading, F10 and eyes to locate specific items like river, crossing roads.. Isn't it? Regards

[@paulrubens3048]

well done. systematic and accurate. no meandering.

[@benben2846]

Thank you, great tutorial! Watching and listening to you, I improve my understanding of English ..... especially when you don't speak too fast like in this tutorial .... ^^

[@ZAR_Magadan4353]

Thanks for the lesson. (Russia. City of Magadan) :о)

[@357JACK]

Thank you

[@essveedee]

I am a little late to the party, but I just got the HUEY and it is so challenging. Thank you for this video. It helps me so much! PS: The Huey is incredibly difficult to smoothly land haha. Cheers!

[@tomaszwota1465]

It's actually easier than other copters, I find. ,;)

[@essveedee]

@@tomaszwota1465 I think i'll stick with the Huey then before I venture out to new copters lol

[@tomaszwota1465]

@@essveedee I mean, my favourite is Mi8, I don't know, I love the shape, the fat ass, the sounds and how easy it is to sink five hundred feet like lots nobody's business if you don't fly in front of her. I mean, be in descent and don't predict when you lose translational lift... You're guaranteed that the engines won't spool fast enough when you pull the collective sharply. ;) Huey is a lot of fun in CSAR and in general. But others are fun too if you want to add blowing stuff up to the mix. ;) Btw, venture out to discord groups or something and get a lesson from a real pilot. I theoretically knew how to do stuff, but found out impossibly hard, after a few lessons on our server I can land on Burke and zoom below tree tops. Now I only crash by actual accident or because of difficult conditions, not in regular flying. ;) He says he didn't really say anything, that it's all me, but man, be did something, because things clicked. I still have lots and lots to learn, but now I'm having a lot of fun with it, so I'm in good place. :)

[@KP-lt4kt]

Great landing at the end. Really enjoying your videos they are very helpful

[@wolfgangernst1336]

very well explained, step-by-step, easy to follow, perfect. It leaves only one quetion to me: Do I really have to switch off ADF (after it has been used initially) when going to use ILS as next guide? Both systems should function independently from each other as they have different display instrument, isn' it?

[@grimreapers]

Honestly I can;t remember any more, sorry WE.

[@wolfgangernst1336]

Hi GR, Meanwhile I tested: set up ADF and ILS freq's on the ground with both to ON and it works fine.

[@Jammoko]

@@wolfgangernst1336 Yes, they are seperate systems. Set the ADF and the ILS before initial take off... to save hearing both radios at once just use the bank of isolator toggle switches below the UHF radio to switch in/out what ever radio you want to listen too (all switches in the up position puts them all on). Useful to have/learn a morse code so you can identify the signals on the ADF as some of the stations are quite close together on the frequency dial. da did did dit did did = BI (joke - who did it da did did did it) :)

YOU SHALL NOT SAY IT!

[@snowman374th]

Man my Huey is nothing like yours.. wtd..? You buy a better one? My dials don't move the same. My gun controls keep changing they I'm able to control the gunners view & gun handling... I appreciate the tut's on the other weapons, much help. Just got it a couple days ago.

[@mills5077]

just to the right side of north possibly east side?

[@kevinsemon1491]

Very helpful thanks!

[@user-hp5fv5wk7x]

I did it also I can hear the moss signal, but Localizer and Glideslope is locked, how can I operate this?

[@pronounceword]

I like your video very much. It's really great. I'll keep an eye on your channel. I am your fan and I will support you.

[@pengwin9]

Anyone else have an issue where the VHF FM navigation doesn't work after talking to ATC? I get a loss of signal indicator (yellow bars) and can't figure out how to fix this. Talking to ground crews for repairs or refueling is fine. Using the radio to embark and disembark troops is fine, it's just the ATC that breaks my fm reciever.

[@grimreapers]

Yes this is a problem with the entire games, happens to all aircraft. We need to get ED to fix this.

[@pengwin9]

@@grimreapers Oh good, it's not just me then.

[@Johnwilkinsonofficial]

when you are listening to the fm signal how do you also listen to ride of the valkyries at full volume at the same time.

[@Welther47]

It's just unacceptable that there is no proper tutorial in the game for most things you need to know.

[@johnselden9257]

Yeah I totally agree. It is a really old module though….but shouldn’t that mean that they have even less of an excuse? The Huey has basically no training missions. I bought Paradise Lost Campaign and it’s been incredible; best campaign I have ever played and also has helped me learn the Huey.

[@hondarider100r]

6:12 lol

[@Ronin-ke5wm]

excellent video and so helpful. Quick question. When I use the Nav Comm panel for ILS and dial in the runway ILS number, the instrument on my dash with the 2 needles doesn't do anything (although I am getting the correct morse code audible signal). I have checked that ADF is off and Nav Comm is on. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

[@joem.6524]

Cap, I know you don't do campaigns, but I'm new to DCS and I'm using the campaigns to improve my flying skills with the Huey. The problem I am having is advancing pass the first campaign. I have completed it, but I don't know where to go to see mission 2. Do you have any ideas?

[@grimreapers]

Sorry Joe, it's just not my area :(

[@joem.6524]

Thank you for the quick response@@grimreapers

[@The_Max.]

I thought you just had to start the campaign and select ‘play’ and it automatically selects the next mission if you cleared the previous one.

[@Scott.Farkus]

That's 321 not 335. 330 is half way between 320 and 340 335 is half way between 330 and 340 O.K. now you got it. When you get near the Inner NDB you'll hear that beep beep beep sound and you'll be 1/2 mile from the end of the runway. If you can see the wire that stretches between the poles on the NDB you can use it to get your heading, the runway will be perpendicular to that wire, so if you line up at a right angle to the wire you'll be headed straight at the end of the runway.

[@RobertGeez]

He was merely pointing out the wrong morse code signal. He’s not stupid.

[@Scott.Farkus]

@@RobertGeez No, he's not...

[@marcusplywooder1907]

I bet a real huey in the clouds is a seat of the pants as it is guages

[@HowlerBikeVlogs]

So is there any way to get back to a farp? I found myself in an online server recently where i was 20-ish miles and needed to rtb but had no information om how to get there. All i could find was the atc freq so to speak, at 127.500. I managed to use landmarks and the f10 map to find it eventually but there must be an easier way no?

[@pedroamaral1989]

Nice tutorial. But i need to know: where u find the information about 4000 fm radio tanks spot?

[@grimreapers]

If it's available it will be in Briefing LAlt+B

[@pedroamaral1989]

@@grimreapers Thx. Another question: about morse code, how u know thats a wrong sound beep?

[@Jammoko]

@Lord Helmchen plenty of morse code convertor charts on google useful to learn anyhow. BI (ADF) is da did did dit did dit Try singing it as I have written it, you will then hear it as it sings to you :) The morse identifier is printed along side the frequency...

[@RobertGeez]

Lateral not azimuth.

[@aledmb]

nice, but you cheated by looking at the map to figure out you had to go east. :D

[@tomaszwota1465]

Then again, on an actual map you'll have the beacon position and you'll know that if you're on the beacon you should go this or that way. We just need a map with self position disabled.

[@RandyWatson80]

still cant get it...

[@oxmate]

I really finding the huey hard to control

[@tomaszwota1465]

How are you after seven months? Better now, I presume?
