I find the Hook Super Squirrley, and im not a new Helo guy.

It’s not you. Hooking large cargo like artillery is completely broken. It will yo-yo crash into you every time. It seems pretty unforgivable to release it in that state. It seems like picking up an artillery piece would not be difficult. Also releasing cargo is broken.

Like most of our community, I eagerly awaited the arrival of the ED CH-47F and was naturally disappointed when at the last minute and despite some obvious clues which, with hindsight should have prepared me, it’s release was delayed. No need for me to point out the obvious shortcomings of any company that spins up hopes and expectations and yes, misleads their customers with disinformation, lack of information and so on. We are where we are as they say. So the CH-47F finally graces us old fashioned kids, with its arrival. Yes there are some real positives about the ‘Hook’ but unfortunately any number of positives are overlooked in the face of a few negatives - that’s a fact. Anyway, I have watched quite a few vids on the ‘Hook’ and all I can say is that I must have a different install to everyone else. The most common phrase ‘easy to fly’ is absolutely not my experience. I know how to fly DCS choppers and this one is terrible. Yes I know about trimming (1st time I heard of it on the collective though, sorry ‘thrust’, depending on which ED content you watch and by the way, bind the Thrust Brake switch on the Thrust Control Lever grip to then depress, to move the Thrust Control Lever or collective across its axis - well makes no difference as the collective moves over the axis regardless. Furthermore and despite @BritishAvgeek telling us to make sure we bind a key to the Centering Device Release (CD REL) button to depress when moving the Cycliq over it’s axis, well that does not work either. For the Cycliq you actually need to bind the force trim function and that does work. By default the Cycliq Trim is set to Auto and the System Sel set to ‘Both’ but that makes absolutely no difference to the flight behaviour. So either take off in a rolling take-off or a hover, increase the thrust appropriately and tilt the nose down no more than 2 in on the Longitudinal Stick Position Indic and it flies ok, for a few seconds, then pitches violently up or down and you can be sure if you look at the trimmed position on the little trim overlay, the Cycliq has not moved. Ok, so provided I am high enough, it’s possible to recover using some violent stick movement; settle down, apply force trim then it‘s erratic behaviour will rinse repeat again within seconds or the engine just cuts out. Other aircraft I have purchased previously were not in the early days of EA other than the Apache and that was fine from day one. In my view the ‘it’s in EA’ card doesn’t fly here as it’s sadly lacking some basic flight control and for the life of me I can’t fathom why no one else is griping about this. Here’s another customer who will unfortunately no longer be enticed to pick up anything thats in EA and just released.

Do i need to put the "fire at point" outside of the green zone to make the artillery to fire? I to put the fire at point target inside the green zone and it didn't fire. does that the problem or it's something else?

I used to love DCS now I carnt even be bothered to load it, I just hate how things have fallen apart last year or so. Rotor wash affects the grass but the smoke is unaffected and passes thru the cockpit wtf 😢. A world of pain and frustration 😢

Yes hovering is easy, but flying in a straight line without the helo pitching up and down constantly is another problem. Does it have a autopilot? I'm watching you VSI and it is constantly climbing or diving, slowly yes but it does not want to cruise level.

I’ve flown the ch-46 and the rear sliding out was definitely a thing in it. Glad to see it here. I only had 8 hours in it but I’m pretty sure that’s about keeping it in trim.

steven hawking wih you

I love your affinity for realism, agree on the wind settings sentiment. I think actual zero wind and turbulence should be in the same menu area as game flight setting and invincility. In real life on the calmest day, air still moves, just differently, and no sim does great at this yet. I find 12 knots wind and 15 units turbulence in dcs is an effective balance.

I wish they had gone with the older steam gauge version.

Bought this module the second I saw it available on Steam, and I agree with this review 100%. It's a fun bird, very powerful and a bit quirky, but the flight model doesn't really feel like it is in a finished state. My recommendation is to buy it so the developer is motivated to keep working on it.

Yeah they were able to figure out soldiers climbing into vehicles and aircraft and then being able to see them back in 2001 with the first ARMA game (Operation Flashpoint Cold War Crisis).

nice, looks like it have so much power...fun <3

It's NOT "collective". In the Chinook it is called "Thrust".

the Kiowa is extremely easy to fly and hover aswell, id say the kiowa is a much more ''fun'' aircraft for new players that are into helicopters, but at the end of the day people should buy what they are interested in

So. At 8:14. The rear slips out. The real ch47 does NOT do this in normal flight due to the DAFCS system. Because DAFCS isnt in dcs YET then the chinook will be slightly harder to control. This is because DAFCS has an auto trim function which does as it says on the tin and does trim for you. You can still use AFCS beep trim manually but in the F model (the one we have). DAFCS is a huge controlling factor and a reason why the hook is so easy to use

Hang on.... you can fly a heli in DCS and not crash instantly, this is news to me! I'm still super on the fence about this module, I picked up the chinook in MSFS and it was quite fun to mess around in. Also great to hear i'm not the only one who finds steamers interacting with chat constantly and saying hi when youre watching a video annoying.

Je doute que la machine est un comportement aussi stable et facile ...je pense que le modèle de vol est pas représentatif de la véritable machine pour le moment

Lol, always gets me when pronounced 'Chin-Hook' It's 'shin-ook' Means warm wind or river salmon depending on region in North America

Good video thanks!

The flight model - at release - is a cartoon impression.

Do you launch DCS in the MT shortcut or regluar short cut? CH47 is considered the Cadillac of Helicopters

looks like arma3 flight model

The rudders just adjust the individual rotor torque? Is that how you stay coordinated?

Seems like it wants to fly sideways.

Thanks for the review. Here's hoping it gets filled out as time goes on.

thanks for the review

For what it's worth the flying you did with the sling load out be actual suicide in the real bird lol

I don't see it on steam yet :( It looks good though!

Skip to the point 4 minutes.

@ 4:15 i hate that because during the real flight i cant pause.

DOes anyone know why the P51 has that "wing whistle"? its caused by the gun port. the P51 has a laminar flow wing, giving less drag and performing better at high speeds.

Awesome sound advise and Aeorbatics. Appriciated I'd combined the Steam and Oroiginal versions for a long time, then a steam update came along and broke my VR Hand controls. so its frustrating in that way. but I managed to roll back mone in Steam. I might try the original version and trial some of the detailed models as you suggested. Loving have Voice attack carry out lots of command key presses also in VR. Really need a HOTAS. I only use a Force Feedback and VR Quest three controls.

Totally awesome! Thank you for Sharing! 💯✴

THX!

Nice, I didn't expect that much of a slowdown!

And I thought DCSW not giving me the opportunity to fire weapons because I failed the tutorials.

Excellent tutorial. I just started DCS and I wanted quick and dirty overview of the mission editor. This was perfect. It gave me enough info to avoid confusion and also to build on as I get more comfortable with the sim. Many thanks!

i have 3 planes. f-15E is the hardest. then F-16 and the F-18 the easiest. in general boom tanking is much harder, as we cannot rest in the boom as real planes can, as the boom has NO backpressure in DCS

splash damage in DCS is by far not like IRL with much bigger kill zone circles. but there are splash damage scripts available. the mk84 has a following damage radii against unarmored targets of 0-20 meters: Total destruction. 20-50 meters: Severe damage, likely inoperable. 50-100 meters: Moderate to severe damage, probably inoperable. 100-200 meters: Moderate damage, potentially inoperable. 200-400 meters: Minor to moderate damage, potentially operational but requiring repairs.

thank you so much for this series

Hi, since its like a "trial", I have some questions: - Does it run out after a period of time? - Do I need to cancel it before it runs out? - Will I be charged money if I don't cancel it in time?

intense! who needs HARM?

Seems over complicated. I think most people just want to spawn certain enemy when they do certain things in a mission. Not sure what all the flag business is about. Didn’t make it past 20 min.

Are you a cyberman?

Welcome. You did a great job. I want the helicopter to take off (AI) at a specific time that I choose.

4k doesn't really make things easier to see as distance. It just means objects at distance have more pixels it won't help if the individual pixels are so small you can't see them. You only really need ~100 ppi which can be achieved with 1080p. If you want to go for 2k or 4k then you really need to go for a bigger screen to benefit from the extra pixels. I'd say to to about 24 inches you can get away with 1080p Then up to around 34 inches you can get away with 1440p Above 34inch (basically TV territory) is where you start to truly benefit from the extra pixels 4k has. The reason you can see better in vr is because the screens are much "larger" as they sit in frint of your eyes. Uaing vr is essentially like watching a 60 inch tv from up close ofcourse you will see small details better

I just got a 4090 3 days ago. Im still flabbergasted at how much better everything looks and works. I mostly fly the F16. I never realized how hard it was to use the targeting pod until now. It is so much easier to find targets. Kola is jaw-dropping. I know it's an expensive gpu, but i wish i would have done this earlier. It's worth every dollar.

Excellent example! truly enjoyed your step by step explanation!
