Haha

I was just about to watch Casmo's video, then this one popped up :)

We talk.

too 😂

I was saying "that's so fucking cool" out loud and BAM

"Oh yee of little faith..."

A direct reference to the "Oh ye of little faith" incident.

You could hear him flinch! Glad he kept that in the video

@@mikedalgliesh1377 was thinking of the exact same thing right before he hit the tree.. and crash..

Did that to teas the damage model is coming along I bet

Nobody watch until the end xD

This stuff is great!

Haha, had to go back and watch the very end there. That's going to happen so much in the first month at least!

I remember that video clip. I had to laugh at Matt doing it too…..lol

Yea lol it took me until this second video to understand that. Also, why is the line of sight marker always attached to that angled off line?

That was the intent, of course I now have hate messages about the mic...

@@MattWagner your videos do what you want with them bud. 😉

@@MattWagner A thing that is clearly laking as of today, is the voices quality in DCS. Just put some voice over in a SP mission and all of the sudden every thing comes to life. Just that little trip really pumped me up for the Apache. Hear is basically the one sens we can really use to immerse ourselves in regarding simulators. It's not just an ED guy showing some new stuff, it's Wags taking us with him. Maybe it's because sound is my domain of work, but if I end up pulling the trigger on the AH-64 this little touch would be considered as the money-maker. Again, nice work ! :-)

I liked it too!

@@MattWagner Don't give them any thought Matt, love the radio effect! Keep at it

Always remember. Management By Exception. The aircraft will tell you if something is wrong or limitations are being meet or exceeded.

Yup. Flying a heli is complicated on its own, but throw in having to aim fucking rockets...and yeah respect to these bad mother fuckers.

I prefer the war blackshark uses rockets. Just line up the two reticles and shoot...

@@lucid484 There is a reason this is complicated and not just "aim down the reticule" like a video game. Its a sim of real technology. Shooting a rocket accurately from a moving platform to a moving target and making sure every shot counts.

It's actually not as hard as you would think it should be. Don't over compensate when you are moving your Joystick around, but be deliberate as well. You will probably find yourself just banking (don't yank back and bank as you will lose airspeed very rapidly) in it till you get used to what you can get away with.

It was on purpose.

"look how big that is. Oh! oh shi! oh oh!"

It is an alternative to Hind`s fan. Costs $0.20 and keeps pilot entertained. Does not require maintenance.

"Look how big that is!"

Yes, it's the most flexible, but can be misleading in non-flat terrain.

Thats my problem, when I pick up a new module I forget how to fly my other ones. Going back and forth between the A10 and F18 is so difficult

That's why I focus on a couple modules, and not all of them. Be good at a few, rather than adequate at many.

Chuck's guides are the best way to get into the modules the quickest and also to refresh your memory on how things work. Purists might try to create so much detail that it's no longer fun for the majority but since it's a simplified sim you can get away with a lot less work. Remember it's just a game in the end, don't stress too much about doing it "right" and have fun with it.

Microsoft sticky notes on a separate monitor are my friend.

@@nynphose DCS is not a simplified sim by design. The design intention is to make it as detailed and realistic as technically and legally possible.

He explained rocket zones in the previous video or maybe that was Casmo. The zone check is on the weapon display when selecting rockets and there is a rectangle list showing what rockets are loaded in each zone and you choose which zone you want to use.

@@orlock20 OK, so you can choose loadout per zone in the rearming panel. That's pretty simple then.

Yep, it was in Wags video 👍

@@AlexKall Well, Wags explained how the zones are arranged and selected. It is not clear how you will be able to choose your rockets in the rearming panel before the mission.

This. Especially for VR users. It already drives me crazy

will it just fall off if you go inverted? that'd be kinda cool lel

@@ben1869 You will probably be able to give it an extra dangle with your hand in VR, like with the fan of the Hind 😁 I agree on the need for a toggle..the way the front hook and rear hook sway in perfect sync, yet are facing in opposite directions...it really triggers every obsessive disorder I own. (Edit: same goes for the smudgy thumb print on the TDU)

Can we replace it with a bobblehead on the dash 🤣

I want to hang something there …

Wags was having flashbacks when that happened: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/prybpq6Xp92zgqc.html

the release is sooooon

@@jdantispam338 I think Wags did this one quick to help with rockets confusion

Doesn’t seem to be, and still swings the same when game is on pause. It’s pre release though, and then we’ll still have early access for a year or two.

It has Attitude Hold mode.

​@@MattWagner roll and pitch or only pitch? i'm used to the KA-50 trim systems to hold the trim, establish new flight parameters and then release and let go basically. =D

@@gryphus-0171 The AH64 doesn't have the kind of autopilot the K50 has, that's why it's a two seater

@@gryphus-0171 The Apache has Altitude, Attitude, and Heading hold modes as well as the standard force trim. Think of it as flying with out any modes turned on in the Ka-50, but trimming out via force trim. Then activate mode(s) based on what you are wanting at that time. The main difference will lie in the modes have limits to what they can compensate for and will kick out (disable) themselves if those limits are exceeded. I could be off on what I remember from studying up, but hopefully this helps.

Yes. Set to range and then the I-beam and the cross hairs have to line up.

This weekend

lots of joysticks twist left and right which can work like rudder

Your going to want/need rudder peddles for anything helicopter. You can get away with a twist grip for planes, not so much with helicopters.

@@oldmanfunky4909 I’d imagine after years and years of having to control with a twist stick grip he’d have the precision down ;))

@@oldmanfunky4909 being disabled in one part usually enhances your abilities in other parts, I’m sure his hands can be equally as precise as his feet would’ve been

@@223frankthetank The issue isn't that. Anyone would be just as precise with their hands. The issue is that the axis of a twist stick or TWCS paddles are inevitably going to be shorter than proper pedals, plus, helicopters need constant rudder input, which is literally harmful for your wrist if you're flying with a twist stick.

Was on purpose.

Yes, the next two.

SAL at launch, RF later.
