UA-cam is pretty good for that kind of thing. Rebuilt my first engine 10 or so years ago just by watching a youtube video.... and it's still kicking! Thank you
Retired Army flight surgeon here. CH-47 was by far my favorite aircraft to log MO time in. Outstanding job with videos. The information has made flying the 47 much more enjoyable. Any chance your flight engineer buddies are going to do a video on all the ways to terrorize the flight surgeon. Convincing the flight doc to ride the ramp and then tapping the down button when they get up to do their cabin checks. That one scarred me for life. Great job with the videos! Keep 'em comin'! Fly safe!
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.
@DaveSmith-ri4ku thank you very much, sir. Tons of respect and appreciate for our brothers/sisters across the pond! Worked with you guys on more that one occasion. Brits know how to party!
Hi. "Death in the A Shau Valley", by Larry Chambers. An account from a member of the 101st in Vietnam. "Callsign DRACULA", by Joe Fair. Both books share a soldiers experience operating as a LRRP soldier during Vietnam.
Still diggin your vids sir. I don’t look for scripted movies, I look for no BS info and you’re delivering in spades. We truly appreciate the time and effort you’re putting into these.
As a former Army chinook mechanic, thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I loved working on these birds. Now I get to learn from a actual hooker on how to fly one. Thank you again for everything your doing!
Thats the kind of tutorials i love for DCS. No bullshitting, no unnecessary talking, just straight up going into the action, providing all the usefull info i came here for. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, keep it up!🫡
Maybe other videos are more polished. But your content is top notch, it's so cool to be taught how to fly a CH-47F from a real pilot. You're like the Casmo of the Chinook community.
Don't worry about the editing and other stuff like that, the knowledge of systems and information you have shared with these videos have helped me exponentially with this aircraft. I haven't gone from idiot to moderately proficient in an aircraft this fast since Casmo's videos on the AH-64 and it's all thanks to your videos.
Once again, great video its great to see the CH-47F Cinook module in hands of a pro......this video has even allowed me to fix some of my own issues, with flying this module.
Now this is an absolutely bad ass channel. Thanks for sharing. Thank you for your service. I did 8 year Army. 82nd Abn Div . I got to jump from a CH-47 once, absolutely best jump ever. Airborne all the way.
Thank you for your service sir and I appreciate the support. I have heard from many of our airborne brethren that they favor a Chinook jump over just about anything else, including my father and brother. Always love doing paradrops!
Another great video! And you're doing a fantastic job. We all start somewhere with video creation, and editing is something that'll improve over time 😀 Keep it up!
Great channel. Brings back memories... legs dangling over the ramp, 30 feet over the water... and holding onto a GPMG... :o) Thanks for your service. o7
Loving your content. With your teaching style and great videos, I've not touched any of the official ED tutorials yet as you've been able to get me up, hovering and flying around whilst understanding some of the systems I need to know. :)
Thank you sir for bringing us this content, the videos on ED’s side weren’t enough or in depth enough, so seeing your IRL perspective translated on video helps a TON. This beast is way more difficult to fly than it should be, but you make it look easy and I already understand it better and fly it better thanks to your other videos 👍 look forward to watching through this one!
These tutorials are really great man, thanks for sharing. I'll definitely pick up the chinook next month to play on rotorheads. Looking forward to more videos from you, take care❤
Fantastic video, always a pleasure seeing real pilots try out DCS modules so us normies can know whether or not the flight model is even remotely accurate. Thanks for the vid!
I love your videos, no editing is fine. You have provided so much help and in a down to earth way like your speaking to people who know nothing because we don’t. Too many of the people go too fast, and don’t explain things well
Thank you so much for your content. I think it’s amazing that you’re able to provide the context that you do as a real CH47 driver. I have my own channel, I’ve experienced a lot of the same comments about my editing, etc. I’m not a professional editor, I’m a professional corporate jet pilot (CL605/660) who is providing, detailed information that no else is able to provide. I’ve switched to mostly doing live streams and very few edited videos, as editing is very time consuming and at times very frustrating. Thank you for doing what you do irl and your valued service. It is greatly appreciated. 🇨🇦’n guy here
Great tutorial sir. Don't worry about the cinematic edits and all the pretty stuff. Ultimately it's about the quality of what you have to say. That said all your tips and tricks are top quality. Thank you.
Hello from the UK. Watching RAF Chinooks flying around and at airshows has made me a big fan of this module. Thanks for taking the time and effort to create such outstanding tutorials. They really are a massive help in learning the helicopter and your explanations and demonstrations are really top notch. Very easy to understand and like any expert, you make it look effortless. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for these videos. I've always loved the Chinook from when I was a child as an army brat. I used to watch them and the Apaches at Ft. Hood. My next door neighbor was a Chinook pilot too. As I served in the military myself, I was never on a Chinook, but saw them often. It is soo cool to have this little "fantasy" in DCS and to be talked through things about it from a Chinook man.
I logged some hours in the back of a MH-47 with the guns a go go guys when they came over for an exercise a little while ago. Definitely can affirm the crazy performance of the 47, especially that one. Awesome aircraft to fly, would love some crew co-ord vids with your back seaters as the calls had slight variations to ours. Thanks for continuing to put these out, there arent many DCS helo guys out there Ive seen other than you and Casmo.
I would love to hear more about your experiences with the MH-47! I'm not strictly DCS like Casmo or 47Driver, but I'm 99.99% helicopter! ua-cam.com/video/ZFESum1liIE/v-deo.html
You don't sound boring at all man. You explain everything the way everyone can understand the principles and the procedures. Congrats on the growth of the channel, you deserve it! One quick question: is it possible to have a full VSD on a MFD? I'm not able to see my airspeed or my rate of descent
I know I value your experience as a veteran to better understand this module and the Chinook as a whole. They have been a part of my life as far back as I can remember, I've always lived near bases.
Very much appreciate the videos--they're priceless to hard headed folks like me. At some point hoping you'll be able to do a video on key mapping--just something explaining what you've got bound to your controls. For folks that are limited, maybe a description of most important to least important. Again, what you're doing here is very appreciated!
Yeah, I struggle with flying this beast. But thanks to you now I know why,and what parts of it are me and what is the flight model. And thats what I really appreciate. Thanks a lot!
Great content again it's great to have the chance to see and interact with people who did this as a living. Us joe public Pick up great tips from the aces haha. Agreed on the RAF nook demo team, when I first saw them and doing the rollercoaster and the pedal turn at a vertical I was just amazed. I also found it funny when casmo in one of his apache videos said he Apaches struggled to keep up with the nooks. No idea what sort of combat or CASEVAC speeds those guys did
Can confirm 64s generally struggle to keep up with us. Blackhawks do too! RAF Demo Team is incredible, I love watching those guys but I don't think I'd ever have the guts to try some of that stuff on my own lol. Thank you!
I'm glad I found your videos for ghe chinook they're very well made regardless of editing which I couldn't care less about. Only thing I would ask is could you turn your control indicator on somewhere visible please so us mere mortals can try to figure out the general way you transition between hover -flight flight - land etc etc
@@47Driver thanks! I find the transitions the weirdest compared to others like say the Mi8 where you have the stick trimmed forward in normal flight and just use collective to change altitude. In the Chinook it seems the opposite once I start getting forward flight I'm trimming rear of centre and using thrust or abit of cyclic to change altitude. Not sure if this is as its meant to be, not really worried just odd to fly trimmed the reverse of all the other helos in dcs lol
@@chrisjames7557 I will say once the LCT and DASH functionality is modeled, you will actually move cyclic aft towards center in fwd flight as the DASH starts to manage your speed. It is weird and different.
@@47Driver Well it certainly makes it a great way of receiving information, for me anyway. Normally I can't take stuff in if there's more than one thiing to remember!! 👍
Flew a sortie with super 6-4 yesterday and heard some good stuff about you man, I really enjoy these videos so please don't stop, love from the netherlands
It’s great having real SME’s and not shiny object flashy UA-camrs. Thanks for your time and willingness to share your knowledge. Great for us and will help ED make the 47 all the more better. DOL
Great vid thank you! I flew it for the first time last night and found it behaving very oddly, so I'm glad to hear it's not just me. I don't know if you use trim. I tried it with and without, and with trim set it would hold for a few seconds and then inexplicably pitch up or down. Had to hand fly 99% of the time to achieve usable results. Also had very random (but luckily subtle) yaw when trying to hover. Very tricky to get her to stop going wherever she wants. Edit: forgot to mention I've done a lot of flying in the Ka-50, apache, huey, and Kiowa, so my comments are comparing the flight characteristics to the expected results achieved in other helos.
Still haven't fired up the 47 - by the time I'm done with work I don't want to stare at any more screens. Subscribed and looking forward to spinning it up!
Looking forward to the multi crew video! I've flown in so many helicopters, but knowing the crew resource management behind what it takes to keep them flying would be awesome.
In the Chinook, it's a whole lot. Not a chance we could go out and do what we do without proper crew coordination. We rely so heavily on our Flight Engineers and Crew Chiefs it's insane. Thank you!
Dude, your videos are just fine, the information that you have as a real world CH-47 pilot certainly show in your presentation. I think that Eagle Dynamics needs to contact you ASAP and ask for your help in developing this beast further. Thank you for your videos.
Good stuff man, currently in the same field of work. You sharing with how it feels to everyone else helps them get a better understanding of what it’s like. Looking forward to hearing some sling calls from the back enders, go for a hook up with AFCS Off with someone in the hole. Can’t do it for real but you can do it here and I’m sure it would make for some comedy in the video.
Great Video, Thanks. What about coming in low and moderately fast and kicking the tail around quickly to lose all the speed and then settling in quickly to land using gobs of collective. Just wondering.
I mean, it's pretty much as you described. Chinook is very nimble for such a big girl. She'll do that just fine and I do it often IRL. Just gotta manage the power.
This.. this is how a tutorial/overview video should be. Straight to the point, and very informative. You are one of the few UA-camrs I look forward to new content. Keep it up! 👍🏼
very nice, educational video. questions: is operating in ground effect modelled ok? is behaviour at and around ETL transition speed realistic? is VRS modelled close to realistic? and finally, have you tried autos? could you show us the procedure? do you do any practice in real life, like assuming both engines gone, or just do one engine out? thanks for the time put into showing these videos.
Hey really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos. This may be too general flight training focused, but could you walk us through how you plan an approach to a specific landing point with/without obstacles? A rough rule of thumb with fixed-wing is to pick a spot on the runway and adjust pitch and power to keep that landing point in the same spot on the windshield. But in a helicopter, I struggle with flying over an area, picking a landing spot, and making a steady smooth approach continuously bleeding off airspeed (while avoiding obstacles and settling with power.) If that makes sense.
Same concepts apply to shooting an approach in a helicopter as fixed wing in that regard. But yes, this will be featured in some of the more mission focused videos I do in the future. Maybe not so much a tutorial but you'll see it in action. Thank you!
Another banger thank you for the training I am confidently getting comfortable with the chinook to a point to where I know if a apocalypse happens I’m going to my local air national guard station picking me up one lmao😂 kidding of course
High quality information. Very sad that the controls widget is not enabled, so we are not able to see exactly what are you doing with pedals and cyclic in all situations.
Hey 47Driver! New subcriber, old in the world of aviation and flight simming (37 years in the airlines and flight simming since 1995). Your channel is awesome; ALL pilots (virtual and otherwise) love to hear advice and suggestions from those within the world we're trying to replicate. I was wondering if you might consider doing either a short video or a written explanation regarding the 3 choices in the CH-47F Options menu concerning the trim system. THANKS BRO!
I'm a vet and a helicopter enthusiast. I always laugh when inexperienced simmers call the chinook a "flying brick" assuming that it's slow and cumbersome compared to conventional helis. As others have said, it's nice to have someone who really knows what they're doing explain all the systems and how to manipulate them correctly.
These video are a god send for DCS lift community. Question, if you do a simulated engine out. After landing and you want to restart engine do you need to restart APU to restart or just move lever to ground then do a restart?
Hi, Paolo from Italy here!. Tank you for your pro info and Hi quality videos. I would make a tech question. Can you explain us why the aft landing gear has 2 couple of wheels for each legs? I suppose that the most weight of load are supported from the rear landing gear that instead has only one wheel for legs. Tk very much😊
Having a direct link through YT with someone that has true experience is a game changer.
Thank you.

Thanks dude I fly the ah64 (15R in life) and oh58 and when I pulled pitch on the big boy the first time was a struggle till I seen some of your vids
Glad I could help. Thanks!
Wow, you've been playing as long as me. I started playing when I purchased a game called "A10-C" on a DVD at best buy.
Excellent video,Very helpful.
Thanks!
could you get a video out on the slingloading soon, im havin a real hard time figuring it out. keep up the great work!
Good stuff man, currently in the same field of work. You sharing with how it feels to everyone else helps them get a better understanding of what it’s like. Looking forward to hearing some sling calls from the back enders, go for a hook up with AFCS Off with someone in the hole. Can’t do it for real but you can do it here and I’m sure it would make for some comedy in the video.
If by comedy you mean watching me crash a virtual helicopter, I'm all for it lol. Thanks for stopping by brother, safe flying out there.
Great Video, Thanks. What about coming in low and moderately fast and kicking the tail around quickly to lose all the speed and then settling in quickly to land using gobs of collective. Just wondering.
I mean, it's pretty much as you described. Chinook is very nimble for such a big girl. She'll do that just fine and I do it often IRL. Just gotta manage the power.
This is a really informative video, thank you sir 👍🏻
This.. this is how a tutorial/overview video should be. Straight to the point, and very informative. You are one of the few UA-camrs I look forward to new content. Keep it up! 👍🏼
Great stuff, thanks for the video.
Thanks for the support!
Very helpful video. Thank you for that. Just one thing that I would like to see is RCTRL+ENTER so we can see what you do with cyclic and colective.
Addressed this in my latest video. Check it out and let me know what you think!
Great vid mate. Seem like a genuine guy. Happy to support the channel and see it grow. Hopefully no Casmo effect lol
Love the vids man, I'm really curious to your sim setup in regards to pedals/cyclic and collective. Keep em coming !
very nice, educational video.
questions:
is operating in ground effect modelled ok?
is behaviour at and around ETL transition speed realistic?
is VRS modelled close to realistic?
and finally, have you tried autos? could you show us the procedure? do you do any practice in real life, like assuming both engines gone, or just do one engine out?
thanks for the time put into showing these videos.
Hey really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos. This may be too general flight training focused, but could you walk us through how you plan an approach to a specific landing point with/without obstacles? A rough rule of thumb with fixed-wing is to pick a spot on the runway and adjust pitch and power to keep that landing point in the same spot on the windshield.
But in a helicopter, I struggle with flying over an area, picking a landing spot, and making a steady smooth approach continuously bleeding off airspeed (while avoiding obstacles and settling with power.) If that makes sense.
Same concepts apply to shooting an approach in a helicopter as fixed wing in that regard. But yes, this will be featured in some of the more mission focused videos I do in the future. Maybe not so much a tutorial but you'll see it in action. Thank you!
@@47Driver Ok great! I’ll keep working on it; helos are just new to me. Looking forward to more videos and thanks so much for the response.
Thank you mate! Cheers for the video.
Another banger thank you for the training I am confidently getting comfortable with the chinook to a point to where I know if a apocalypse happens I’m going to my local air national guard station picking me up one lmao😂 kidding of course
Haha! I guess if it's the apocalypse I probably wouldn't be held liable for teaching you how to fly it... so I say go for it! Thank you
High quality information. Very sad that the controls widget is not enabled, so we are not able to see exactly what are you doing with pedals and cyclic in all situations.
awesome content brother, thank you :)
You are a national treasure
No you!
Another 1,000 subs in just a few days! lets gooo! We appreciate the video format, we don't need fancy editing or anything. Just need you being you
Thank you! The subs have been crazy!
Gold content! Keep it up!
Thank you!
Hey 47Driver! New subcriber, old in the world of aviation and flight simming (37 years in the airlines and flight simming since 1995). Your channel is awesome; ALL pilots (virtual and otherwise) love to hear advice and suggestions from those within the world we're trying to replicate. I was wondering if you might consider doing either a short video or a written explanation regarding the 3 choices in the CH-47F Options menu concerning the trim system. THANKS BRO!
If you ever need a FE hit me up. From one Hooker to another you are doing a great job. Keep up the good work brother.
Appreciate you!
I'm a vet and a helicopter enthusiast. I always laugh when inexperienced simmers call the chinook a "flying brick" assuming that it's slow and cumbersome compared to conventional helis. As others have said, it's nice to have someone who really knows what they're doing explain all the systems and how to manipulate them correctly.
Thank you for your service, and thanks for the kind words!
These video are a god send for DCS lift community. Question, if you do a simulated engine out. After landing and you want to restart engine do you need to restart APU to restart or just move lever to ground then do a restart?
Restart the APU. Don't worry about the APU gen. Then normal start. Thank you!
@@47Driver So…no cross bleed from the engines? Only APU provides bleed air? How about heating? Sorry for all the questions.
@@nefas11 No bleed air in the Chinook. APU provides hydraulic pressure via the motor/pump, no bleed air. Engine starts are hydraulically controlled.
Great video, thanks so much. Keep them up.
Thank you!
Great stuff dude!
Thanks!
Love all the content and really appreciate your knowledge.
Do you know if Tacan is implemented yet and if so can you show how to use it?
I will take a look at this. I think it might be implemented to some degree, which would be nice! Thank you.
Hi, Paolo from Italy here!. Tank you for your pro info and Hi quality videos.
I would make a tech question.
Can you explain us why the aft landing gear has 2 couple of wheels for each legs? I suppose that the most weight of load are supported from the rear landing gear that instead has only one wheel for legs.
Tk very much😊
Awesome!
thank you again for the video!
I appreciate the support!
