Desync presents the biggest issue right now, my CPG hellfires all miss. The solution is supposed to be storing a target waypoint and slave the tads back to it before firing.
Excellent guide. As someone else mentioned optimizing your FLIR level and gain is a huge part of being an effective CPG trying to search and acquire targets. Great content keep it up!
Man, thanks so much. You and a couple of other guys are what keeps me buying modules for this hand. Knowing i won't have to wait to long to learn by your awesome video's. I just picked up this modules and am flying and keybind up, cheers sir 🍻.
This was excellent. I get things done a little differently and use a lot less binds and so forth, but after looking at some of the binds you’ve got, I’ll probably go in and add some. The Slave/Deslave bind being one of them. Great stuff brother.
learning about TEDAC from you! im making notes. going to make a video with my DIY TEDAC once i finish studying your video.. thanks for making this easy to digest!
@@CasmoTV Hahaha, don't get me wrong. Replaying every AH video from you the last days to hammer knowledge into my overdosed brain. Love you folks. Waited since 1995 for this to happen.
I'd love to see more of these "best practices" videos of what good effective CPG/Pilot work entails. It's one thing to know how to do these things, it's entirely another to know how to do them as effectively as possible.
I tell ya, I've watched EVERY video I could find on the CPG and this is the best one I've seen to date!! Great job buddy! Your video is so good thought that I've saved it in my Apache playlist for others to reference :) I'm doing a live stream tonight that shows off the same skills you just demonstrated, but at night :P It should be a good time :)
Omg I did not remember half the shit I learned and had a brain fart. I also had a headache before I started streaming so the flight didn't go well. Lol I'll share you the link to tomorrow's stream once I've reviewed the content a bit more tonight.
@@TrickerDCS ua-cam.com/video/J5ZSPgiizcY/v-deo.html This is the video where I go a bit over everything you taught us in this video. It's not a very pretty video - I was lost at some points but I do go over the TSD and TADS a bit and how to use it practically :) My next stream will be better :P
Amazing video Sir, wish I had seen this yesterday as I spent 3 hours in the front seat with a friend flying and I was not able to hit a single target with Hellfire...so hopefully next Friday!!
@@TrickerDCS You will have to talk to my lawyer. I am also always happy to support my fellow content creators. I am looking forward to improving on my own current video format I have uploaded and, in the future, trying to create content as good as yours in the long term.
Waiting for the hotfixes - we have really been trying the coop and work arounds but the bugs and desync are killing it. Great module and it’s early access so waiting is fine.
I have found to minimise dsync issues both crew need to be slotted into an aircraft and perform a cold start. After we did that the dsync Issues went away and we had good shacks with hellfires on hoggit GAW server
Good CPG video!! I copeid all your Warthog joystick/throttle assignments. My only question is for all the Short-Long commands for all four modes.... where and how are the those commands accomplished?? Keyboard a open Warthog hat or 4-way switch?????? Thank you!
I did mention them but didn’t go to in depth on them on this tutorial. In the future if some things get fixed I’ll go more in depth with the spiny knobs
Thanks for the video - takes a lot of work to go back and forth between footage/clips and have just what you need as you edit to your narrative (or narrate to your edit haha). Good tips!! I keep "threatening" to make my own video too, since I also use a warthog, and want to incorporate an xbox controller. I want to show the controllers too...to help others but mostly to get it all down myself as well! I am just not confident enough with the actual flying and gameplay - yet! With your help we're getting better though!! Thanks again... Question - do you use the microstick on the throttle for your HOCAS? Is it stock, or did you upgrade it? Any tips on curves/settings for that little stinking stick?? Especially pressing it for cursor enter...grrrr
Hey really appreciate the comment! I still have the stock slew switch on my Warthog, though about getting that microstick though. My cursor is 5 dead zone and curve of 20
Nice work tricker! Don't worry, in no time you'll embrace the Xbox controller for the TEDAC, and eventually that'll turn into full-time DCS couch gaming with a gamepad
I'm honestly still fine tuning my Warthog at the moment for what feels best. I was going to bind my Xbox controller today so I could try that out and use my Warthog as a backup for the flight controls if the pilot gets killed. I'll see what I can do though
I second this im having a hard time getting everything set on my warthog with any kind of sensible setup. Seems like everything i try i tun out of binds or it just ends up not making sense and I end up forgetting. All i do is cpg in MP with a friend as the pilot
What would your preferred way to communite a direction for the pilot (or maybe to a wingman)? I mean, the compass on the hmd does not rotate if I turn my head.
I dont seem to be able to switch to TADS, whenever i press the button; i hear a click but nothing happens, camera still moving instead of staying sticked to the tedac
When you select a target on the TADS how do you lock it in so the camera stops moving? You were marking targets in a hover but what if you are moving and want the camera to track the target?
Nice video. I did a direct rout and after that the Apache went to the next 5 way-points automatically. I'm unable to reproduce that procedure. Any ideas how to recreate that.
In multiplayer is there a way to Lock onto a target from the gunners seat as you can do when you are in the pilots seat (single player)and using George AI ?? In multiplayer and in the gunners seat I find it very difficult to hold the reticle on target if the pilot is not in a stable hover. LMC helps some but reticle will drift slowly form target. Thanks for your help!
As the CPG it's your job to maintain lock on the target, the pilot also needs to hold a stable hover bit yah there's no magical button. Gotta do some work 💪🏼
dumb question - you can slave the IHADDS to the TEDAC and move the sight around just looking out the aircraft, right? If so, how do you set that up? Select HMD, Slave?
TADS symbology switch, choose GHS or PHS as the acquisition source and then hit the slave button, it will follow your IHADDS. Deslave when you find a target of opportunity
Hey Tricker, I have the same controller setup ( warthog throttle and 2 Joystick but I am struggling to assign the buttons etc to use with CPG role. I would like to use the one of the joysticks for piloting the AH64 and the other stick for the CPG sharing the throttle between. Can you explain how you bound the HOCAS X & Y axis please?? Cheers
@@TrickerDCS Hi mate, I have no experience with the A-10 module but I think I have managed to bind one HOCAS X & Y just the other to sort out. Also do you know if these bindings will stay in place in single player mode as well as MP ?? Great video, keep them coming. I did notice that the navigation side did not seem to work on the MP server I went on but this could be server settings!! I will be trying other servers to try and get to grips with it. Cheers again
Great tutorial step bro, just what the community needs right now, be great to see more CPGs online!
Yes! We need some more step bros in the front!
I’m down for that!!

Same issue, you need to store a target waypoint and slave tads to it before firing. This supposedly solves the desync bug. I'll try this tip today.
Thank you Tricker. Excellent Video.
please do more videos you explain stuff really well by far the best online so far lol

Thank you Tricker, very informative and helpful bro S!
Go get it mustang
@@TrickerDCS Oh I have the module if that's what you mean, I just haven't done the CP/G stuff that much yet
@@CrazyHorse104 haha, yah text is hard to read, I meant go out there and kick some ass 🔥🔥🔥
If you slew onto your target normally then hit the LMC button it will lock the reticule to that spot. Very handy.
Not working very well in multiplayer, causes desync
Thanks for the effort. Learned some valuable things, love the green map view and storing mark points is really nice.
Nice vid....very informative and easy to follow keep them coming👍

im new to this heli, it is so overwhelming but im getting there
things been driving me nuts 5:40 now I know what I was doing wrong...totally forgot to arm the laser.

Great tutorial, effective
thanks Tricker
Brilliant thank you!!
You could rename this video to : " The only CPG video you'll ever need "
Haha you will need more in the future
Great vid buddy
Nicely done!
First video that actually helped me. Thanks. Still, what do the other million buttons at the CPG-seat do ?
We will find out when it further progresses into a more advanced seat
Nicely done sir :)
Very great tutorial! Do you use the intercom via SRS to communicate? If so, i can't find the transmit button :/
SRS doesn't seem fully integrated yet. There are notes how to set SRS to enable hot mic intercom.
Maybe mention "LEV" and "GAIN" dials which are very useful for adjusting the FLIR target visibility?
I did mention them but didn’t go to in depth on them on this tutorial. In the future if some things get fixed I’ll go more in depth with the spiny knobs

@@RogueSpecterGamingOfficial I sensed a disturbance in the gamepad force :D
I predict watching this at least 10 times to get everything down, lol.
8:20 nothing i do or press gets C-HMD off the screen. unclear what you are doing or what button you are pressing within the cockpit.
nice vid sir :D
Just got the Apache. I had to look up Tricker for a guide. Always a go to for great info, while having a hard on due to his sexy voice.
When I’m done with the holiday flying I’ll have some more stuff coming out
12:08 how do you get the IHADSS and TADS on at the same time?
As you have done this on a Warthog HOTAS, could you create a diagram of bindings please (like Chuck's Guides)? and push that out to us?

Are you only binding the CPG specific controls? (Meaning you can't fly the helicopter with your current CPG bindings?)
Yep that’s correct, I’m going to bind my Xbox controller though to do this in the future though
@@TrickerDCS Thanks. I have seen/heard of a few others binding to an Xbox controller too so that may be the way to go. Thanks for the video.
I prefer gamepad because it seems like the pilot dies if the helo takes any damage, and you need to be able to grab the controls.
How do you get to the grey boxed modifier shown on bottom left?
