This is a basic startup guide for the UH-1H Huey., it is designed to get you started and airborne. More advanced topics will be covered in a later tutorial. Website: tacticaldcs.com/ Discord: / discord
As a helicopter mechanic it hurts me to see you go straight to full throttle without giving the engine and transmission a chance to warm up and stabilize but for DCS this is a very efficient startup routine. I only just got into DCS rotorywing and the Huey but its a great module and I hope to see more of it. Thanks.
THANK YOU!! It was my very first DCS experience and I kept looking for the 'start' button for like 20 minutes before I gave up and googled the answer. No wonder I couldn't find it... at least I'm *very* familiar with the instruments now 😅
Thanks man, I've been flying the Huey for a month or so and have been using the lazy autostart. The tutorial was quick and concise, exactly what I was looking for!
Ironically enough this is the one module I own that I don't know how to cold start manually. I always end up auto starting the Huey but perhaps now I'll have to learn it...
A simpler way is L WIN Home, which puts the startup in auto sequence mode. Takes away all the hard work of remembering what switches to push. Same with shutdown, which is L WIN End.
I bought the Huey a few weeks ago. It was my first rotary wing and the first few hours were very VERY challenging but also extremely rewarding. The systems are pretty simple, the flight dynamics take work to get under control. I can't recommend the Huey enough. Its a great module. A bonus is that the scenery takes on a whole new perspective at 50 feet and under 100 kts.
Thanks. Made myself an idiot list from your video. Taking off and flying is all good and well, it's the landing I'm really struggling with. Even after watching several tutorials. Maybe I need to make myself a collective!
Yes, trying to get basic startup for most then slowly move onto each airframe. We have several AV-8 guys running training at our discord. Pop along and hit them up.
@@TacticalPascale Thanks TP! I've seen av8b training events, however I couldn't attend because of the time it was held. Will definitely keep an eye for future training events!
