DCS Huey UH-1 - Paradise Lost - Mission 1 

Wow, impressive landing in that tight LZ, well done! You forgot to press spacebar to report visual on the firebase, so when crown called you activated both triggers. A few tips: You really wanna fly either above 1500 feet or below 3, you never know what you run into. Also, you can use the 'level autopilot' function while you check the map or fiddle with the radios. One more thing: if you click on the red circle map markers they'll say what they are. Looking forward to the 2nd mission :)

Hi :) I am a commercial heli pilot. It was fun to watch. I was looking for other stuff but RU-vid has that talent of making you end up watching very different topic from where you started from ,hahaha. Anyway, You really want to land into wind as much as possible , especially with helis. So when you see the smoke it gives you the wind direction. That is why popping flares is great to locate pax in case of emergency but also give us an idea what the wind is doing at the LZ. If there is no smoke , look from ripples on the water if there is in your sim, or the way the trees bend. anything to help you land into wind as much as possible. Same for straight in autos of 180 auto's . keep the blue side up bud :) Happy flying . If you really love helis, maybe you should try to get some real world time. I am pretty sure you'll love it. If you do not fancy R22's try CB300 or CBI 300 . The latter is a small training heli but absolutely fantastic, a zillion times better than the R22. The R22 is good to familiarize yourself you low yourself with teetering rotor blades system like the Huey . they don't like low pushovers!!!! Blades go one way and you the other.. The Schweizers 300 series are fully articulated rotor systems. And there is a china hat switch to trim like in the bigger boys! Once you get your Single piston rotorcraft , get a rating in a 206 or the like. They are still some UH-1's here and there in the US, South Africa, Australia and a few other countries. If this is a dream go chase it bud ! Time flies :) Practice emergencies.Stuck pedal, engine failures, tail rotor failures, Skid on take off with low manifold, skid on lading and all the good stuff. Regarding all the info, we heli pilot have to just remember it all for the most part. The only thing that does not do anything on your body in a heli in attached to you between your legs :))))). Eyes scan, ears listen, left hand collective , right cyclic and your feet well on those pedals as you well know lol. You can use the LAP but better keep your eyes where they matter most or delegate to the due next to you :) For confined areas landing, try this : 500ft ROD for 50 kts, 400ft ROD for 40 kts and so on till 10 . This way you'll never settle in with power in vortex ring and or bend your skids up to your ears lol. Check your temp and alt before departure to make up for density altitude and cross reference with your chart for your Vne that day. 2 Check how much manifold you are pulling at your base empty and in ground effect, 2 do that same with 100 kg on board. Now you know how much that day 100kg cost you in manifold. Now you can do that maths with your fuel burn and the pax to pick up. If you are too heavy, do a skid on TO. You have to grind the left skid, then the right, rinse and repeat till you get faster, eventually you will get into TL around 14 kts, milk it till 60 kts and very gently start your climb, emphasis on very gently :) K later bud .

Great content as always :) Excellent mission, I flew it yesterday and loved it.

Just stumbled upon this from the Google. Thanks for posting it and I think it's what I need to be able to get through it myself now after half a dozen failures wondering around that island.

That was really very entertaining to watch. Very beautifully flown lanky. 😎👍

Thanks for creating/sharing this vid LP77. I might get this campaign for myself as a Xmas pressie :)

I just bought this today, and thanks for having this up, as it helped me a lot !

Nice flying Lanky! Loved the surf music, especially since "Charlie don't surf."

Good job on the mission. This convinced me to buy the campaign :). I usually prefer the mi-8 to the huey, but Reflected campaigns are always well done and this looks like a lot of fun.

What an exercise in frustration. I am happy to see you experienced the exact same set of circumstances. 60 minutes into my mission (most of which was trying to find that hidden firebase) my mouse went off screen as I constantly tried to determine why the FM homing wasn't working. Of course, with all that mouse movement, DCS lost focus, and I had zero control. Boom (VR Player), Down she went. #primalscream. I see Reflected recommends the autopilot cheat. I also didn't know the map markers could be clicked. Looks like I get to do this all over again. 🤬 Thanks for posting, LankyPilot77.

That Full Metal Jacket Reference 😅😂

30:20 shouting at you from the co-pilot seat: "226 not 266!", lol. Good mission

Didn’t know this existed! Awesome

Merry christmas lanky! Looks like an amazing campaign 🙂👍

Very nice , you made me feel good. At least I’m not alone on the navigation aspect lol. 10 years in the army and still learning how to find grid locations and fly at the same time. Would be nice if we could have co pilots in the huet

FWIW, Start Fuel switch is normally just to the right of the Main Fuel switch. You turn it back off as ToT passes through 450 degrees or just after you let off the starter at N1 40%, whichever comes first. The DCS Huey doesn't model this, as you discovered. Great video!

That fireguard looks like he should be on the deck of an aircraft carrier

the pickup @53:25 mins "Show some hussle!!!" made me lol :D

I'm struggling like hell with taking off heavy from the HQ. Glad to see you had the same problem, "which way am I supposed to go" lol

Great piece of flying into the LZ with blue smoke, I am thinking of trying the Huey DLC. My flying experience is limited to Arma 3 Huey.

i love this campaign even if it makes me sweat bullets. after landing FB Berlin i thought i was home free lol foolish mortal . i too chased gray smoke all over the place. thanks im ready to run again

Great vid. Subscribed! Looking to get into Dcs and heli flying and this whet my appetite. 😊 I'm wondering which controllers you are using? Thx matey!

Lankypilot77 I am so glad you posted this video. I just downloaded this campaign today, after multiple crashes in the hills clipping trees, I then thought I was on the home run to completing the mission. The trouble was after landing at the US Naval hospital helipad and coming to a complete roadblock it took your video to remind me that there is in fact the real “Guam Memorial hospital which was where I was supposed to land at. The frustrating thing was that there is meant to be an option to skip to the next mission if you cannot complete it, but I had no luck with that “F10 radio option. This was meant to be the “milk run” so If I cannot complete the next harder missions can somebody, please show me how to skip to the next mission? I love how your “unscripted video portrays the real “where the hell am I meant to be feeling I also experienced flying this 1st mission, and I am most impressed by your landings in 2d where I have enough trouble coming into those tight landing areas with the benefit of a sense of depth from flying in vr.

Hey I have a question about the 1st mission where my FM homing stops working. I fly to pick up the supplies fine, drop them off at fb berlin fine, but when i dial in 40.60 on FM for an unexpected dustoff callout, the FM homing does not work at all and i have to find the orange(then blue right beside it) smoke by luck by basically flying around blind till i fly NEAR the area...Any idea why the FM homing stops working???

We’ll done! It helps to see how you handle the bird. Curious if you have curves on right stick. I have 25%

My issue with all the UH-1 campaigns is they want you to tune the radio while flying. What is the copilot doing why can’t the make it so he does it.

Ya, I've played through No One Lives Forever. :)

Full metal jacket reference

I was so impressed with myself when I landed on that small pad and then I took off with all that weight…… I was once again disappointed.

Mine does not form droplets on the windscreen in rain. Is there some setting I need to turn on?

the video is super zoomed out

Judging by that start up rockin’ they should have named it Hula not Huey? :D

Hi Lankypilot is it possible for you to record the Huey ?

So a mile is a mike and a km is a click. Got it.

😁

When is it coming To steam?

Got a huge fps loss near the hospital and smacked into one of the towers for it

gave up on paradise lost and uninstalled it. This campaign full of bugs. Mission always gets stuck waiting for triggers just becuase you did not perform something exactly at the right place and at exactly the right time. Spent so much time to redo missions times not knowing what I did wrong. AWful!

OMG That the game "No one live forever"! Watch out for the bullets!!!!

I bought this campaign. I can't get past the beginning because the voice acting is so f-ing horrible I have to shut it down lol

People shouldn't make flight sim youtube videos until they can fly well.
