@@bmwr9tracer668 Out of curiosity, because I don't really understand how it works: instead of using tons of Arduinos and raspberry pi's, couldn't someone just build a separate dedicated computer to run all the instruments and displays that networks with the sim computer and processes everything in the simpit?
YESSSSS! My helicopter is "now" in DCS :-) Wags, I appreciate you wanted to show a "short" star-up procedure but do not forget the Power Transfer for the Hyds Flight controls before starting (otherwise impossible to centralise the controls properly ) and never move you ECLs so quickly from Ground to Flight or you will overtorque ;-) And FYI your Fuel selector is still on the refuel position. Looking forward to flying the beast in our beloved sim.
@@MattWagner for the power transfer, it is mandatory because otherwise, 99% of the time, your flights controls are not "central, neutral, detent" because of the residual pressure from the previous flight, after the shutdown. IRL I have almost never seen a cab with the flight controls centralized before having the Power Transfer ON. I am flying on very old CH47 in the RAF so maybe the F model don't "suffer" from this issue ?
@@damcopterI used to fly a 46 and noticed that as well. I noticed he said the start up is valid as of this date. They probably have a good bit to finish yet.
Thanks Wags, I feel this was a long awaited return of your excellent training videos. Always good to hear your voice and the CH-47 is looking and sounding great.
Wags, my man, I don't make enough money to buy everything you wonderful folks are putting out. I am a rotor head so I will get this!! I got to ride in these during my AIT at Ft. Ustis Va! It was awesome.
@@randallmacdonald4851 Even Uncle Sam Thinks It Sucks. It's where I did my AIT for 68D/16D Helicopter Powertrain Technician. Worked on Hook, Hueys, Hawk, Apaches, Kiowas(58C), and Kiowa Warriors(58D(I)).
Went to H-60 course at Eustis back in 85. It was actually a blast back then, 16 weeks during the summer. We had Drill Sergeants but it was just administrative, just to keep us soldierly and make sure the barracks were kept tidy. We had our POV's and could go on and off base as we pleased.
I am so looking forward to this aircraft. I served in the mid-90s at RAF Odiham on the ground. I did some flying in the back to help out etc and I have always loved the Chinook. The woka woka has a presence all of its own. I wonder how many people have felt the relief of hearing that sound approaching? At night we often have them flying over my house on the way back to Odiham. Lying in bed hearing them pass over low gives this old crab a warm happy feeling.
My future choppi in dcs. I’m joining the army as an aircraft mechanic and hopefully I’ll get the chance to fix the chinook. Awesome video WAGS. I’ll 100% preorder this module. The sounds are top notch.
@@bronco5334 if need be, my last purchase was in 2022 because of the fundamental issues with AI that they have said they're fixing for many years with no tangible improvement
I love the model and the fact that Eagle Dynamics has decided to developt it. But there seems like there are some things to be fixed before its official release. For example, the WCA should show maaaany more cautions when the APU GEN goes ON. Also the torque indications should be splitted and indicate 0 when the engines are OFF and under 40 when then the engines are in the IDLE position. There are some other stuff to be fixed as the colour code and so on but less important than those mentioned, as well as more steps in the start up procedure like the PTUs an dthe ECLs moving slower, but that's been already commented in other comments. Anyway I'm sure they will be fixed soon and we'll be able to enjoy this beast!
@@NoBrainSilent What do you mean it's not planned? It is planned already to be expanded but there are already very simple logistics in DCS already. As for the single hook at release, that is more than enough to move external loads. In fact during sling load training we used only the central hook on the 'Hook with huge concrete blocks to simulate loads on the aircraft. They would then punch these loads during simulated emergency procedures, and they'd hit the ground hard and we'd dig them out and do it all over again. You can haul plenty on a single hook, so get you panties out of your butt. These things were announced months ago, so you shouldn't be surprised at this point.
@@NoBrainSilent There are plenty of servers with scripts like CTLD that simulate logistics systems really well already. ED has also discussed ongoing development of their own logistics system, which has been developed alongside this helicopter.
Thanks for the tutorial🔥. Feels like it has been a long time since you've uploaded something. CH-47 is looking pretty fun I want to see more vids on it
I retired from Army Aviation 20 years ago (former UH-60 guy) and continue to be amazed how Army Aviation continued to modernize it's airframes. incorporating digital systems into its fleet, replacing all the "steam" gages and instruments. Looking at the original cockpits of the H-64 and H-47 is like looking at an old WW2 aircraft panel. It's amazing how they upgraded them, even the OH-58 into the OH-58D. Army Aviation squeeks what budget it can out of the Army fiscal outlay, and unlike the USAF doesn't have the deep pockets to spend on aircraft. But they have done a pretty good job taking these pretty old designs and getting them modernized to be able to operate in the ever changing digital battlefields.
Hey Wags. We call the crew positions ‘cabin door’, ‘left gun’ and ‘ramp’. Also the blades spin much slower at first and really dip down pretty low up front. Some other details but were mentioned already. Looks great!!
Always been a lover of heavy lift and transport helos, once i get dcs and flight gear this is defo going to be a module I pickup, thanks for the info wags!
Honestly it is kind of sad this helo came before the Blackhawk. I get there’s a mod for it, but these full fidelities are just something else. Still super excited for this big bird.
Wonderful to see you back showcasing new modules. Wags. This is going to provide some interesting mission sets, and I know the module provided some new challenges for the development team. Looking forward to seeing it in game!
Anticipation is killing me. That looked to easy to be real! I had to check I did not do the norm for an old guy like me and take a nap in the middle.🤭🤫
I, for one, am looking forward to the CH-47 Chinook release as it's so iconic and can add logistics into DCS. But since the module release since 2022 and everything released this Q1 & Q2 2024, what a time to be into DCS, if you haven't already done so... Thanks ED..
Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but there was a slight hesitation when Wags was checking out the co-Pilot PDP, and it looks like like there was a Blackhawk on the ramp 🧐
Wags you're the best. if it's quality were tralkin here then i'll wait as long as it takes, thank you all for making sure it's a quality product and not just throwing it out there all bug infested.
This will be fun to learn when it releases. Personally I’d prefer an older steam gauge version as I’m old school like that, but it’ll be good to learn to fly the mighty Chinook in VR
I genuinely wish dcs would pair with somebody like squad (could be anyone) so we could have genuine live ground ops and air ops as well. Would make the helicopters that much more useful
Thanks a lot for this simple very helpfull startup Video!!!!!!!! Is there any other key binding for an "Autostart Up"? The windows key + Pos1 is not working with the CH-47F. Regards
but it sounds like it is right overhead instead of the back end of the machine where it should be. A minor quibble from someone that has heard that whine too many times.
Seeing the accuracy of this aircraft got me needing to change a set of pants and underwear. I can already feel the broken A/C and barely comfortable seats.
Would be nice to get some of the tutorials for the most complex modules like f/a-18 and f-16 updated and finalised so when Im trying to learn a system I dont have to go through 5 videos to know everything (or how it works Right Now).

Was good to hear your voice again Wags, feels like its been forever since we got a video from you. Hope all is well.
Finally some Ch47F content from you Wags. Nothing generates more hype than your tutorials.
That noise of the rotors spooling up to idle power is amazing. It sounds so brutally powerful even at that stage of flight, can’t wait!
It was never going to launch without daddy Wags giving us an introduction.

Should be fun doing a cold start.
Can't wait to have my baby. Thanks for that vid.

any more videos before the release?

Don’t release it until those textures are replaced with a Flat Primer.
There is nothing shiny or reflective with exterior Mil flat paint.
Really usefull for DCS "hobby pilots" like me
Is there also a cargo camera for the Huey and not just the indicator?
How did you slide the camera over?! LCTRL + LSHFT + what?

FYI the playlist name says CH-447 rather than CH-47. I just figured I'd mention that if it hasn't already been addressed.
