Jesus, I was fighting the trim the whole time not knowing why this thing flew so horribly and constantly fought me. Now I know why, thank you guys!
And that's the thing, once you both don't fight each other, you make sweet helicopter love!
You saw it here, the butter soft flight, where you don't even need a hand on the stick, you can do all kinds of abris programming while the heli flies itself.
Hello Cap. Maybe you guys do these videos just for the fun of it. But I have to say that this last series of tutorials on the Ka-50 has had a good influence on me. I own this module since 2010, and even after having read the manual, all times I tried I ended up in a big ball of fire. Gave up. Never looked back. Tried helos again with the Huey years later. Anyway, then I watched your video. Something inside clicked. I tried again following your tips. And they worked. Now I can fly this thing anywhere I please. And found out that this helo is way stable than the Huey and way easier to fly. From a forgotten module, this is in my top three preferred modules to fly, right along with the A-10 and the Harrier. Well done and thanks Cap.
Thanks for a nice comment Dog
here here! I've also had the Ka 50 module since about the same time. The trimming concept seems backwards to that of a plane. This one video has changed my experience of the Ka50 from "it's hard to fly" to "I'm the terror of the skies" this bird will get used a lot more often now. Thank you!
when you have the way point deselected but still have the diamond on the heading tape it is because you have the heading hold auto pilot channel enabled. the helicopter will hold whatever the heading is when you release the trim. if you disable the heading hold channel you can turn wherever you like. alternately, enable FD mode and that is the same thing as holding the trim button without actually having to hold the button.
Thanks, great tip for a noobie like myself. Much appreciated
I really liked this video. Brought back a lot of memories. I flew AH-64A and AH-64D Longbows for years in the Army. We called the "Trimmer", Force Trim Interrupt. The controls on this aircraft are so similar to the Apache, it's scary. Several of the guys commented how difficult flying one of these things can be. If it's any consolation, it takes a little over 2 years for the Uncle Sam to create a "Combat Ready" Apache pilot. Keep trying and have fun.
I was just going to comment about force trim release on the cyclic stick and how it works, basically uses a magnetic brake to hold the controls in the desired position.

@@jameshewitt8828 Hi James. Some of these videos are pretty cool. I haven't bought or built a gaming computer with a cockpit yet, but probably will. Looks like fun.
@@danielputnam7191 same, i came across it after looking up DCS after watching some former hornet pilots go on about it (CW Lemoine), check his UA-cam channel and (The Fighter pilot podcast). As i said im a former UK Apache aircraft technician (airframes and engines) and have a passion for mainly military aviation plus flown some mighty R22s
Great video!
1 Quick suggestion When flying and hovering on autopilot and changing heading, Also works when slaved to Shkval.
bottom right Four autopilot hold buttons (Pitch, Roll, Heading and Altitude):
-Disengage Heading hold on your autopilot.
-rotate to new heading.
-Engage Heading hold. The HDG diamond should center at your new HDG.
-If your slaved to Shkval, this will rotate you back on target when HDG hold is reactivated.
I recommend Mapping those 4 buttons (Or at least the HDG hold)
I Use this method to quickly change location without the helicopter fighting your controls or readjusting your Pitch, Roll and Alt Trims.
thanks!
And that's how you do a tutorial! The first step to explain something nicely is to actually understand it. Someone said, no matter how complex thing is, if you can't explain it to the child you do not fully understand it. Great work!
Seriously, I was getting crazy, though that either this game is bugged or that it's just too complex. After this video, my ka-50 is standing still in the air w/o autopilot or any kind of stabilization.
Great tutorial. many thanks!
Tried DCS World yesterday and played around with the Kamov (it's a free trial now for a few days). It took me quite a while to close the canopy. I guess I have a long way ahead of me if I buy this thing :-D
After flying the Huey-H1 and crash landing many many times, I landed on my fist try with the KA-50. Much more stable it’s a huge difference
thanks guys! this helped me alot. trim trim trim
That was one of the best and easiest tutorials to understand
Never flown a helo in any sim before. Needless to say it was a helluva shock jumping into this one. Your videos are very helpful though. =D
I own all the modules and campaigns as of 2020. That being said, the redone graphics/interior is top notch! Especially in VR. If you were held back by the graphics don't be. Easily 4 or 5 outta 5.
This somehow tells me how my character of hating technology "helping" shows, I first flew the UH-1H and it was all your own actions. Got into that KA-50 and felt that something tries to do my job which obviously pissed me off after learning to do everything on the other helicopter lol
Great Video, the BS3 just came out so i'm watching many videos on youtube.
I was never completely sure the "proper" way to fly a Ka-50... I remember reading (I think in the manual) that riding the trimmer was frowned upon, but wasn't sure how else to do it without constantly switching the autopilots off and on... I ended up just switching on FD and learning to fly that way. This does seem like the best, way, though, so going to re-learn to fly using this method.
Despite being an old module, it's still a great helicopter. Only real complaint is that a lot of the stuff in the cockpit is 2D, and while it looks fine on a regular screen it's really obvious in VR, so looking forward to the announced update for that.
I think it was something to do with the type of hardware you had, if you had a force feedback stick or not - the method with trimmer was different.
@@zzodr If I recall (which is questionable) the "not riding the trimmer" thing was for the actual helicopter, it would wear out the trimmer controls faster. It could also apply to FFB sticks, for the same reason.
Maybe in the real thing the way the controls work is different, and the autopilot applies force to the stick, rather than changing the resulting control input the way DCS does. Or maybe that was just saying not to fly the helicopter with the trimmer held all the time, and only use it for relatively-brief changes the way Cap does here... I'm really not sure, and don't exactly know a whole lot of Kamov pilots to ask.
@@Maeyanie Judging by how I've seen the stick move in the simulation I'm going to assume that in real life the pilot only had to click the trimmer button after making changes. Reason being, I assume, in real life the trimmer button would "create a new center point" for the stick and stay in that position where trimmer was last applied. Where in our simulator we apply trim adjustments and the in game stick stays/goes back to where the trimmer was centered but our IRL game stick springs always put it back to center. Which is what always made it hell for me to trim. Did i explain that right?
@@UMSLdragon That seems like what other helicopters, like the UH-1H, do. It doesn't sound quite right for the Ka-50, where the trimmer is more like autopilot input.
Cap, you would have been a good CFI. One thing though, pitch is along the lateral axis of the aircraft and roll is along the longitudinal. 2:30
Also “VRS” phenomenon is more commonly known as “Settling With Power”.
More commonly known? That's a bit like saying that "meters and centimeters, or more commonly feet and inches".
I think its better to start learning the ka-50 with the FD since its the most logical way to fly a helicopter (compared to other helicopters).
The only time when I don't use FD is when I'm doing an auto hover or when I want the autopilot to follow a route.
I don't fully agree. Just using FD left and right is not going to teach you anything about working with the autopilots. Better to get used to it early while being aware that FD is an option when necessary imo.
@@Stahlwollvieh Why do you start learning the ka-50 using the autopilot? Its better to start knowing how to fly the ka-50 like any other helicoter and THEN learn to use the no FD.
@@0Ignition0 Well do it as you see fit. But chances are if you start by just flying in FD it will get a habit that's hard to get rid off. There's a reason those autopilots are there, that's because the Ka50 has a lot to do for a single person. They pretty much define everything you do outside of FD. Might as well get used to them early.
Isnt it even easier? Holding the trim means you cant use your thumb for something Else.(in CAPs Control setup) and i kinda dont want the Chopper to correct my heading everytime i let loose of the rudder.
@@NullFaser FD off is best for long semi straight flights and auto hover.
If you fly without FD you're "fighting" the helicopter whenever you want to maneuver and must hold trim during the transition. Its really counterproductive and you loose control of the helicopter since you can't do fine adjustments freely.
How do you trim the collective so it holds your current amount of throttle and altitude?
do you think that it is needed to have rudder pedals, I cant seem to fly this heli for my life with my basic x52
Hello, I flyied black shark, my trim does not work properly
Hi GR. I just purchased the KA-50 as I wanted to try out a helicopter in DCS. So the collective lever. Is it basically the throttle or are their engine throttle and collective inputs? As always, your help is greatly appreciated. Incidentally, the Reapers T-Shirt I bought is still going strong. The colour hasn't faded and the image is still like new, no cracks or wear. Even after lots of washes.
You don't usually touch the throttle on a helo unless there is an emergency, in the kamov is the 2 yellow "lollipops" on your left. I recommend you map the collective to your HOTAS throttle, because is what basically you are going to use to move up/down. Is like WW2 planes, RPMs are more or less constant, what you change is the angle of the blades, that is what collective does. Cyclic changes only the pitch of certain blades to make the helo move fwd/back/right/left, collective changes the pitch of all blades at once making the helo move up/down. Im far from helo expert, but hope that my explanation helped you to understand this marvelous machines a bit better :)
Do you use descent mode in landing?
is there any way to disable the diamond at 1:26 (remove from trim)? It's soooooo frustrating learning how to fly this thing with trying to re trim this thing
turn off the heading autopilot channel. That should work
Hi Cap!
Hey there, Cap at your service.
Does the KA50 have high fidelity cockpit? or just partially like the SU-25?
Yup full fid.
Should I keep my gearbrake on like in here CAP is doing? (blinking B on control input "box")
Or does it matter in anyway or other?
I'm a bit confused. When the AP buttons are dark they are activated. When bright they are deactivated?
Yea. This goes for all of the blue buttons in the ka-50. The cockpit is really old and has bad textures. They're working to update it.
yeh dark = on
Hi Cap! Do you know if this thing been fixed with the new updated Ka50 cockpit? Also, do you know how Trimming works with Force Feedback joysticks for the Shark? Thank you very much in advance for your time and congratulations for your vids and work. Hope seeing you in-game someday :).
How did you get everything set to English in the cockpit? I cant figure that out
See if this helps: ua-cam.com/video/czUJQcaX9G0/v-deo.html
@@grimreapers that does indeed help, thanks!
This was my very first DCS module, it was a fucking _nightmare._ I remember it had like a 600+ page manual. Perhaps picking a chopper as a first attempt was a bad idea but I couldn’t even get more than a few meters off the ground before a quick death came. And then ABRIS? Forget it. Could’ve had its own 500 page manual.
This is one of the two most complex lanes in game.
@@grimreapers whats the second one? A10C?
Get with Shadow OWWE, dudes a genius with this aircraft. He will square you away. I believe he's part of the OSA group. Haven't flown the KA-50 in a long time but look for him. Peace!
I do not need to hold trim
serial code activation please?
@Grim Reapers Apart from my HUD my cockpit is entirely cyrillic. How did you get yours in english?
And ofc after actually checking the settings I found it right away
lol
how do you make your head turn with your cursor?
He doesn’t buddy
A lot of arrests were made
what joystick and throtle do You use ?
x56
@@grimreapers no pedals ?
@@Pecetos the x56 is a throttle and joystick combo and the stick has twist functionality so he uses the twist for yaw ? i assume if he hasnt said about pedals
:)
=THAT'S ABOUT BAD USER INTERFACE DESIGN USED IN EVERY MILITARY CONTRAPTION

Free Ka52 out there in Ukraine!
Who's first stealing one of them?
Darn, you're so hard to follow. Well, me at least. A non-english speaking "penguin". :)
