I've clearly flown on Rotorheads too much in the past when it's been a few months since I've been on, but I can be looking down at my work and recognize pilots by voice! I really need to jump on tonight and get some flying in.
Maybe it's because I'm South African and used to terrible ping, but I don't really notice the higher ping as much with helicopters. Then again I'm not flying close formation.
Best 🦈🏄🏼♂️ Rider who u ar‼️ Keep it up 👍🏼, and about this Aligerian dude, I think he's well masking, and NoE along the attack route toward his battle position, I hope he has a good low-level navigation map reading skill.. try switch yr R-800L1 radio to a chosen UHF freq (220.000~399.975)MHz, and go Hi-Power⚡ with 50/100 watt switch, maybe yr PRTz will capture his signal📶.
Hehe, I trimmed away some of the footage, he was flying about my level, but just didn't have his datalink on. And was a more chill session, so I didn't feel like breaking out in song about "ah, so this is how you datalink". I'm not familiar with a 50/100 watt switch - where's that?
@@volkvoort I strongly believe is a power transmission switch, Honestly, I don't test how far ED models the two-way radio range in DCS environment, but the fact is that a good Transreception lies in many factors, (VHF2 [AM/FM] vs. UHF [AM], Wattage vs. Antenna Height, and weak signal vs. Squelch override). Imagine you are idling in a heavy wooded Holding Area, and your buddy team scouting an NAI located 10 Kliks ahead in the mountainside, then the dude can't hand over you a target verbally (just a static noise), or via telecode (blinking PRTz & no ID on ABRIS), in this case, you need to know the right radio setting (I go for UHF / 100). ED Manual is not explicit about this 100/50 enigmatic switch.
Brother you must make a video on how to launch massive S8 rocket barrage or a big missile like Kh 25 Smoke ingestion was added and its killing my engine... and then killing me.
Yeah, like Aeria said, you want to make sure you're moving fast enough to get out of your own smoke cloud. The gasses can choke out the engines, and being slow and stationary pretty much causes them to circulate in your bubble of air from your rotors, which means you engines just get a chance to suck it all in and choke themselves out. If you're moving forward, the biggest plume of smoke that's the most risky to you will be behind you and you'll be moving through clean air.
I don't 100% remember, but I think it was little more complicated than just APU on and start, so yeah, probably a crank after a failed start, then started again.
@@caiwars I'm not 100% sure exactly at what point the engine floods, or if it's linked with not switching that off the second the engine dies, but in terms of restarting it you, need it open of course.

Oof. It sounds tempting. Though maybe I actually need to spend time actually producing guides/vids again ;-)
Merry Christmas Volk.
great vide
Merry Christmas, great and entertaining video!
Old Hippy!! I should hop onto the APAC version, but ping is awful.

Merry Christmas man!

Be faster then 110 kmh. It has caused crashes in real life

thank you my dudes I solved it by flying at 130km/h the missile launched beautifully
Out of curiosity, how'd you get it restarted? did just trying crank again work?

@@volkvoort fair enough, at least I know it'll be worth dinking with if I get myself into that situation lol
I wonder if it was the cut-off valve not being ”off” that caused the startup failure the first time around. Didn’t see you use it.
