DCS Mi-24P Hind: Liberation 3.0 Dynamic Campaign Persian Gulf 

Thanks! I was planning on taking it slow until I heard the cannon for the first time...

pshh, taxiing is for losers, helos are supposed to fly straight up

I know! VR is my main way to fly, can't go back after getting depth perception. I just record 2d so y'all get to watch more than 15-20 fps. I love how gigantic the chopper feels, ED hit it out of the park

@@flyingwithfrancis1104 Now we need more pilots to play in VR. Quest 2 is like 300€ that is very affordable price. Also if more people play in VR ed will get to fix that performance much faster.

Yes! I totally should have thought of that

Thanks bro! Stoked for you to get into helo stuff eventually

Thanks! It's been too much fun to put down. Thanks so much for the sub, and Syria is definitely high on my to-buy list next

Gotta have goooaaalllss

Thank you! The secret ingredient is panic

Do iiiitttttt

Thanks for the compliment! I'm blushing over here

Thank you much comrade!

Hero of the Soviet Union :D

Thank you kind sir

Yes! It kind of bugs me too because there were some cool campaigns on the north end of the PG that disappeared. The latest version has been good to me though, I've enjoyed what's on offer.

Nah those are real, my computer is only mortal and the Hind is hard to run!

@@flyingwithfrancis1104 That's saddening. ED is really into forced photo mode...

SPO-10 RWR, and I turn it on and off as the moment demands/allows. Annoying, but helps me identify changes in the radar environment quickly!

Thank ye thank ye!

Ooh buddy me too. Finally got some time to get started again, so...soon TM

Thank you! That's a good idea, I've got some vacay coming up then I'll probably do a full campaign series in the Hind.

I think that was my wingman flying across left to right, the angle he was at definitely looked reminiscent of a 21 though

Sure, I'll probably leave a .jpg of the charts on my next video, hoping it'll be later this week or next depending on when I have time

@@flyingwithfrancis1104 Aight, ty :)

I can only speculate, but it does sound like the onboards I've heard so far.

@@flyingwithfrancis1104 Thank you for replying! ;)

Not so bad depending on the adversary you choose, and even if you get shot down it's fun to deal with the unexpected :)

Yeah for now I'm just making Mi-8 missions in liberation then swapping out for the Hind in DCS mission editor. I think it gets confused if you die, but as a dynamic mission generator it's working great!

Thanks, I agree!

Sounds like you may be encountering VRS (vortex ring state). If you descend straight down too fast, your rotor will essentially catch up with it's own downwash. When that happens you'll lose lift and drop like a brick. The best way to avoid this is to keep some forward speed as you descend towards your landing point. Initiate your descent by slowly and smoothly dropping your collective from its cruise setting, and start slowing down with aft cyclic. Continually adjust both throughout the descent to maintain your desired glidepath, much like you would in an airplane. As you slow down, you'll have to progressively pull some collective back up to make up for the loss of lift. Keep some forward momentum until you are low enough to enter ground effect. At that point kill your last bit of forward speed and smoothly bring your collective up to enter a controlled hover in ground effect. Note that transitioning back into a hover is probably one of the most difficult and dangerous things to learn in a helicopter. I'd recommend to practice rolling landings on a runway first. Forward momentum makes helicopters a lot more docile.

I agree with Arthur, it sounds like you are encountering VRS. One thing you can do to estimate correct landing collective setting is a hover check pre-mission. This is great practice to develop the stick-and-rudder skills involved with hovering/landing Helis, and can also help you approximate the collective setting/rotor pitch to shoot for once you come back for a full stop. Above all remember: this is really hard (especially in a heavy attack helicopter), and you're doing great if you're still trying. Hope that helps!

@@arthurvilain7270 wow thank you so much .. really help me a lot ..

It's a long press of Ai menu up

There could be a whole host of things going on. Are you launching from a shortcut from an older version? Using a campaign that is not compatible with the current version? What have you tried already?

@@flyingwithfrancis1104 I downloaded the latest version, tried to run exe as administrator and non admin, both times DOS screen appears briefly and thats it. I had earlier version which worked fine, but I reinstalled win a while back.

I just used the Mi-8 for liberation's mission planner and switched it myself in the Msn Editor once the game started.

if you go on the github you can also run it locally, although that requires some developer knowledge, ping @Caster on the discord and I can tell you what you need

One day when I have a steady schedule for sure!

@@flyingwithfrancis1104 You know where to find me haha

Liberation is a third party dynamic campaign generator for DCS World. While it's not realtime like BMS, it ensures that you get a mix of units in situations that you can't entirely predict without having to make it in the ME. Here's a link to check it out: github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation

It's been 4 months and I'm still so confused
