If you're here just to find out how to fast-start the AH-94 then go to: 7:06 Video also has subtitles/closed captions for anyone not able to penetrate the accent 🦘 The hand signal I made up for rotor unfold is just the one used for removing the wheels chocks too, I'm sure there's a proper signal for rotor fold that someone will know?
Hi there! Nice video. I want to add that this helicopter (as of right now) does not feature an air bleed system. The APU only generates electrical power for the engines. Found this out when I forgot to turn on the APU.
Yeah I know 😕 I found this out well after the video was released. It doesn't make sense that it would use electrical power (would need big and heavy alternator and long heavy wires among other things to transfer all that current) instead of using a simple bleed-air valve and air hose. Put it this way it's not something a real life aircraft would do because it wouldn't make sense to design it that way, but the game Dev has a KSP background and KSP doesn't have pneumatics, hydraulics, etc so it was a bit of a blind spot for him. When I made this vid I assumed it would use the obvious bleed-air method, but turns out it doesn't 🤷♂️ it didn't make much difference so I left the video up.
Nice video dude. As useless as the knowledge is to actual gameplay, it's cool to know how these things actually work. A bit of extra useless knowledge for the AH-94 on startup. The battery indicator light will turn from green to red as the battery loses charge, so you can use the battery light to gauge if you turned engine 1 on too soon
Yeah I've always wondered that, but then why isn't it losing charge when I use it to start the APU and power the other stuff though? I've never been able to find an answer on the wiki etc either...
@@SLGY maybe it’s down to how much draw each system has on the battery. You can run all the electrics in a car for an hour or more, but running the starter motor non stop will kill the battery in a couple of minutes.

Excellent vid. Looking forward to more. I’m surprised you are not using voice comms to talk to ATC, though...
Haha yeah I only realised in editing that I used the old comms panel method, it's an old habit that's hard to break.
@@SLGY Same, haha.

Great vid.
For the quick start I’ve learned that you in only this aircraft you don’t need to let the apu start up so you can immediately start the engines
but if you don't wait for the two bananas count, then it'll start up slower overall. What time do you get?

Really useful thanks
