REVISED Engine Start | DCS OH-58D Kiowa Warrior 

THANK YOU!!! That's what I was looking for all day. A way to mute or dim the hellish loud hoots and bells! ❤

That’s interesting lol

Great idea !!

You can do it this way and I have but the problem with the curves is it makes the outer area of the axis even more sensitive. I really like reducing the Y saturation instead. It gives your axis a smoother input and there is no force being multiplied later in the axis. The downside is it reduces the usable axis, say you set it to 70 then you only have 70 percent of the axis available. With the kiowa I don't think this is really a problem though because you'll never really need full deflection, if you do though then use force trim. Say you want to push nose down but further than the 70 percent you have available, just force trim then recenter the joystick and you can now push all the way down. If you find the kiowa to be too sensitive, lower the y saturation on the x and y axis to say 60. As you get more comfortable start raising it up.

@@davthacker I am definitely going to give this a shot, thank you for the info and clear instructions!

I had a friend in maintenance I'd work with who was REALLY good at mimicking the voice. I snuck him around to plug into my ICS when we were doing some testing on the APR-39. We had another guy shooting it with the radar test kit. My buddy popped up with the APR-39 voice, going through the motions and my pilots were none the wiser UNTIL he said: "Missile, four o' clock. We're fucked." I've never seen such hilariously confused faces on my pilots as I did that day.

​@@FlightLizard this is amazing lol! No matter what the army does to a person at least there's always these things you can remember fondly.

Same

AcK

Still figuring it out and idk if it’ll happen before I leave for work.

It’s a fleshlight

​@@CasmoTV What colour smoke does it produce?

​@@CasmoTV is that to keep Trickr entertained on the transit in 😂

Done but… DCS 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sometimes when you have no or a weak fuel pump then sloshing in the tank can prevent fuel flow long enough to starve the engine. At least generally speaking not sure if that's the problem in the Kiowa, I've noticed the same thing in the hornet and assumed it was just that. The viper has strong ass pumps and a high pressure fuel tank and it doesn't suffer from this problem so the context would back me up here. E: completely failed to answer your question lol, sorry. If what I said above is the case then there is no set number and the flameout will be based on how smoothly you fly, turbulence, and aircraft vibrations, among other things.

I’ve flown the Kiowa in VR (Quest pro) and it’s absolutely stunning. The viewing angles are amazing due to the open cockpit and sheer amount of glass rather than steel/kevlar.

​@@Tom-qf3mq Yup the kiowa is awesome in my quest 3 once I got some settings dialed in. Being able to look directly down to the ground through the door opening is so cool!

It was never deployed on the KW

I believe that became a DCS default.

huh? in the kiowa special options there is no FFB option. only options are cyclic trim type and pedal trim type and nothing mentions ffb is what im seeing the correct one?

@@kolavadae4592 My apologies, I double checked the pathing and its under Options > Misc. Its not a Kiowa special option just general DCS option. Once I unchecked "Force Feedback" the trim worked properly.

@@CasmoTV Thanks a lot. I got it sorted out. It seems my binding didn't bind. So I redid it, and now all is working well. I love this thing and have been flying it all night just for the sheer fun of flying around in it. APKWS in both pods is my current goto, would be easier with a copilot but, Standard FFARs and the .50 are fun as well. Haven't tried the stingers and the Hellfires just seems to be a lot of weight for not a lot of return for trading out all that fuel to carry them.

Are you asking me if there are videos of the F-4 on my channel?

Yes that’s exactly what it sounded like

All locks broken sounds like power rocks stolen to me

Not my money 🤷🏻‍♂️
