Yea, I wonder how it will react to incoming missiles and such.

@@PaletoB Will Eject, like Jester. LOL

maybe this system will also be in the AH-64D

@@fridain ...and improved and refined I'm sure.

And now that song is stuck in my head

Context?

Yeah I am very impressed as well

Super easy to use.

Choo choo

@@theeltea we'll see, maybe they will code petro so that low visibility actually affects the precision

Well earned comrade

I didnt stay up but my cat woke me up wigh a living mice that runs atround my apartment now…

@@phoenixsui Be glad, she puts some food up on the table.

Or just use an English cockpit.

It's a hind, it didn't even scratch the paint

It is time brother and/or comrade

Yea, two weeks - at least

Da

Don't know if it's still a placeholder but steam shows tomorrow as the release date

im gona get the apache instead. seeing how good the AI is in this it could be even better in the apache

And with the new Trial system you can get buddies to be your gunner for two weeks every 6 months for no charge on their end.

would have been better if the front gunner did something other than use the atgm like maybe have some kinda 12.7mm hose to whip around...

@@mitri5389 Agreed. Would be nice to have both variants.

Excuse me for being so blunt, but will you also create some tutorials for the Hind? Loved your series on the Hip.

@@HerrW0lf All modules come with tutorials and manuals. You can also use the official manual for the aircraft just like you can use the NATOPS for the Hornet and Tomcat. That is if you can find it online, which I'm 100% positive is simple to find by doing a simple google search, and plenty of pilots will also contribute to training via videos over time.

@@HerrW0lf Yes, I definitely plan to create Hind tutorials! No promises on timeline, I'm pretty slow in general with this stuff.

@@sheekm227 One of the nice things about the Hind is that DCS is a much more popular game now than it was when the Hip came out, and the Hind is a very popular helicopter. There will be *many* different people creating tutorials for it and I think that's great. Most of us have very different styles and focus on different things, so people who don't want to sit through my long-ass videos won't have to if that's not their thing.

@@vsTerminus your long ass tutorials are amazing! Keep up the good work.

Eh. The radio plays that song 6x a day, every day, since it was released.

PUT ON A RED LIGHT

New album by Cyprus Hill

Think it might be because the speed for the attack run was only about 200IAS so when he commanded Petrovich pilot-commander to do the hook turn, 180 the aircraft didn't like that very much

@@crazygmanssimstuff Pretty sure the ai does that because of the wing design, I believe it was warned earlier to try not to bank too hard or else you’ll find yourself into a spiral dive.

@@crazygmanssimstuff so youre saying that the AI is using the actual flightmodel? Oh, boy i wished the AI would do in other aircrafts. Especially when doing dogfighting against AI.

@@-spook-2992 no no... I will have a pretty canadian skin on it! Ho wait we are in Trudeaukistan by now...

Honestly, the best way to begin is probably just to jump in the aircraft that tickles your fancy the most and learn it at your own pace, one step at a time. And now is a great time to get in DCS, with the recently started free trial program. You can test drive any module for 2 weeks, so you can really try everything and find out what you actually like :) Whenever you get a new module, the first thing to do is probably to download the relevant PDF from Chuck's guides ! They are THE ultimate resource for learning an aircraft quickly IMO. Joining an online community of DCS players is also a great way to get started, and the player base at large is quite beginner-friendly. I can personally recommend Hoggit on Reddit and Discord (and they have some great PVE servers), but there are a lot of other nice groups out there. Finally and most importantly, remember that there's no wrong way to play DCS. If you're having fun, you're doing it right ;)

They've used a mirror system with the in-built dcs mirrors, which is not great.

yes, very bad sight picture

@@theonefrancis696 It's cool they did it like that but it really does look terrible lol

It is using low LODs because on the zoom. We are aware and plan to fix once we have a technical solution.

@@MattWagner Is this going to be done for TGPs too or just this sight? I often see objects pop in and out while using the TGP even when the view distance is maxed out. Might just be that the pod is too good at long range that it can see past the render distance of objects, but something should be done to fix that imo.

@@MattWagner I really hope you find a solution to this. Otherwise the Hind looks awesome.

@@MattWagner Will Picture in Picture rendering of the sight be mandatory at initial EA release?

Yep, the hind was a helicopter designed before having a bunch of electronic displays and such to assist you along with power voltage. To add to the complexity you’re also given the option to communicate with the other member in the helicopter. They must be definitely proud of how they made petrovich. Above all else, he could’ve been made more complex but they made him simple for us.

To me it's completely the other way around: it looks simple and straightforward. A lot less complicated than Ka-50, or the upcoming AH-64D, or even the upcoming OH-58D. Unguided weapons employment is simple and straightforward (no pun :P), and ATGM employment is also quite intuitive it seems. And with Petrovich AI it is almost too simple, so I see myself flying with it mostly off often.

If ED doesn't, some modder will do
