    Cosmo will probably frown at me now but I pop the AUD circuit breaker until I’ve got the AC gen in. Stops all dings, bings and whoops. Probably not a good idea but it shows the pure genius of the module that it’s even modelled.

      I had a friend in maintenance I'd work with who was REALLY good at mimicking the voice. I snuck him around to plug into my ICS when we were doing some testing on the APR-39. We had another guy shooting it with the radar test kit.
      My buddy popped up with the APR-39 voice, going through the motions and my pilots were none the wiser UNTIL he said: "Missile, four o' clock. We're fucked." I've never seen such hilariously confused faces on my pilots as I did that day.

  • @nateweter4012
    @nateweter4012 3 месяца назад +6

    I just wanted to add; For those new and stuggling with flight stability/sensitivity. Go into your axis controls and add curves to your cyclic roll/pitch. I find that 25 is about perfect. Prior to doing this, I found the aircraft was so unwieldy that basic flight was tedious and combat maneuvers and were damn near impossible.
    So, if you’re really struggling with basic stability , don’t get discouraged. Go into controls, search axis commands, find cyclic roll and pitch and you can axis tune these. I’ve had to do this for most of DCS’s helo’s while getting used to them.

    • @davthacker
      @davthacker 3 месяца назад +2

      You can do it this way and I have but the problem with the curves is it makes the outer area of the axis even more sensitive.
      I really like reducing the Y saturation instead. It gives your axis a smoother input and there is no force being multiplied later in the axis.
      The downside is it reduces the usable axis, say you set it to 70 then you only have 70 percent of the axis available. With the kiowa I don't think this is really a problem though because you'll never really need full deflection, if you do though then use force trim. Say you want to push nose down but further than the 70 percent you have available, just force trim then recenter the joystick and you can now push all the way down.
      If you find the kiowa to be too sensitive, lower the y saturation on the x and y axis to say 60. As you get more comfortable start raising it up.

    • @heyviper1238
      @heyviper1238 3 месяца назад

      Sometimes when you have no or a weak fuel pump then sloshing in the tank can prevent fuel flow long enough to starve the engine.
      At least generally speaking not sure if that's the problem in the Kiowa, I've noticed the same thing in the hornet and assumed it was just that. The viper has strong ass pumps and a high pressure fuel tank and it doesn't suffer from this problem so the context would back me up here.
      E: completely failed to answer your question lol, sorry. If what I said above is the case then there is no set number and the flameout will be based on how smoothly you fly, turbulence, and aircraft vibrations, among other things.

    Regarding force trim, idk if this will help anyone else, but apparently I had force feedback (FFB) enabled in the special options menu which was causing me to be unable to trim the cyclic. Pedals would trim just fine but cyclic was no-go. And no, I do not have a FFB stick irl. To my knowledge I never enabled this setting.

I love this thing and have been flying it all night just for the sheer fun of flying around in it. APKWS in both pods is my current goto, would be easier with a copilot but, Standard FFARs and the .50 are fun as well. Haven't tried the stingers and the Hellfires just seems to be a lot of weight for not a lot of return for trading out all that fuel to carry them.
