    17:20 You said your speed is up at 140 kts after having made roughly a 180-degree turn. Is that displaying airspeed or ground speed? Does the CH-47 AFCS try to maintain constant ground speed or constant airspeed? Or does that speed indicator display groundspeed? Because I have (in a version from about October) set a 15-knot wind in a DCS mission and flew back on forth into and then with the wind and the speed indication changes, about 135kts going with the wind and about 105 kts into the wind. A normal aircraft would not do that. The indicated airspeed would remain 120 kts, only the groundspeed would change. I'll have to check that more and with other aircraft. Maybe DCS is screwed up with regard to IAS and GS?

    I 100% respect your modesty and honesty Sir when talking about not doing handbrake turns like the British/Australian CH47 pilots often do. You could easily have said "Yep, i`ve done that". Being an Ex Brit LRRP soldier, i have spent numerous hours being transported in these and other machines, in numerous theatres. I honestly do wish you had been the pilot in some of my Chalks, lol. I must`ve aged 10 yrs between each Infiltration and Extraction phase lol. Although we never say, nor show it at the time: We always had, and still do, have great respect for you guys, and the risks you take getting us to and from our "Areas of Operations", regardless of the hostilities and air threats. So i guess purchasing this module is pretty special to me. Trying to fly this tank, really does highlight the challenges you face as a pilot in theatre. Thankyou for taking the time to create these videos and sharing your experience.

    • @47Driver
      @47Driver Місяць тому

      If the LCT's didn't retract, the nose high attitude would be significantly higher than this. Most, if not all helicopters, hover with a slight nose high attitude.

  • @daniell1869
    @daniell1869 Місяць тому

    Why are you constantly bobbing up and down while hovering? is this normal? when I watch videos of irl helos i don't see them drastically bobbing up and down in a hover, they usually maintain a constant hover

    • @47Driver
      @47Driver Місяць тому

      Normal to an extent. The big thing is in a real helicopter I can feel what's happening and react to it, and anticipate it. In the sim, that's near impossible at least with my setup. Also as stated in the video I had a significant amount of wind going for this mission. Altitude fluctuations are very common when it's windy.

    You mentioned using a winwing stick and having to trim for the spring pressure. On a Virpil mongoose base, you can adjust the spring pressure and clutches. What would you say would be the best to set those as to be as close to the real thing as possible? I've been removing the spring pressure all together.

    This was a great video! I have been spreading the word of your great videos! As for making more etc. Do what you want, when you want. Don't worry about what others think or feel any pressure to make a video. Do it when you have time and want to put something out there for us to watch. When people start focusing on cranking something out or worrying about small stuff, they burn out and stop all together. My philosophy for making videos is to make videos which *I* like to watch (and I do watch my videos over and over). I like to help people so I enjoy making how-to stuff or showing me flying around, bombing stuff as I figure it may help someone out or entertain them. Do something like that and you will enjoy making videos and will keep at it. Looking forward to more. Thanks again!
