Rotor/Ground Ops event | Tactical DCS
Kick-off of season 2 of the casual Tactical DCS's Rotor/Ground Ops.
This time A-10's and F-16s helping out. I was paired with an Apache and Kiowa, first clearing the airfield then then progressing North handling threats. Other flights of Apaches, Kiowas, Hueys, Hips and Gazelles were handling Spec Ops insertions and attacking other points.
It's might be week-ish-ly, so check the events on the Tactical DCS discord.

      To be fair, they have made several graphical improvements since 2008. DCS World is an on-going project and constantly worked-on. The Ka-50, the helo he flies in this video, for instance, has been remastered twice. IDK what engine is used for DCS though.

      The Black Shark module evolved into DCS World, which then incorporated the standalone A-10C module, Flaming Cliffs and grew from there. It's ED's own proprietary engine. I'm not running an exactly powerful rig, so the graphics haven't been bumped up to higher standards.

    Very interesting video. I agree that the KA-50 is not the best choice in night ops, but I did a run last night during dark hours and was actually able to find targets in urban lit areas, although it took some effort to find a target. Nonetheless it was quite fun and a challenge. So on conclusion the KA-50 can be utilized in lit urban areas, even when its dark. I also used the enemy tracer fire to pinpoint possible enemy positions and intending to rocket barrage the area. But I was shot at before I got the chance.

      There's a couple of Campaign missions in Caucasus that has you flying at some extreme altitudes - so, could be dust if you were hugging the slopes, but could also be Icing Failures. I couldn't get immediate results or theories on the parameters and burnt out slightly doing the dust tests, but essentially, if the outside temp is 1 degree or less (look on the thermometer on your canopy straight up), then switch on engine de-icing for both engines + rotor de-icing + both pitot de-icing switches. They're all at the top there with the dust switces.

    I've owned the Black Shark for a couple years but never really got into it. Now with Black Shark 3 I'm starting to learn to fly on the hoggit training server and I never 100% got the autopilot/trim to work the way I wanted it. I always tried to fly into a direction while NOT holding the trim key and then just bouncing around in the air trying to gain control. Never realized you had to hold down the trim button while turning. I wonder how it looked like yesterday evening to the Apache pilot, I ended up crashing into the ground because it just got worse. Thanks for this video, it was really really helpful for someone who's completely new to helicopters!

      Good to hear. The part that it helped, not the part that balled up the Apache ;-). Seen pilots (of some production Ka-50 version) tapping trim, rather than purely using hold trim, but in DCS/for our Ka-50 version, yeah, hold trim works much much better for most situations.
