Mi-24WM here as well! As an alternative a Mi-8 should do as well.

Yes, tighting up the clamps definatelly helps. I also had a bit of a conflict with the green LED lighting under the table, as the clamp would clamp onto that. However, after moving that out of the way it holds to the table very nicely! :thumbup:

As I just recieved my mount last week, I decided to do a little video about installation. Jump to 04:42 if you want to skip the beginning and get right to the assembly! :thumbup:

Yes they are. With an alan key and some force the mounting plate can slide up and down on the main colum as desired. :thumbup:

Yeah, the Ka-50's laser works just like it should, as does the A-10's laser. The Gazelle's laser doesn't. And dimitriov I would consider this a bug (or at least an oversight) as it doesn't work as it should do. This will also affect getting a firing clearance for the scenario OP has given. Sure, you can aim at the ground in front of the building and then slew the aim up, but that's not the way it should have to be done.

What about the AA missiles that just impact ground if they can't reach their target?

Would be nice if they could add that. Not sure why it would not be possible in DCS?

I believed that was done by image processing? I had the camera not stabalize to the ground when the IR was not warmed up yet? That could be a coincidence as well though.

Only trouble is if your flight plan consists of 9 waypoints there won't be any left that contain your startup coordinates.

Thank you all for the kind words! Working on the tutorials is much easier knowing that they are appricated! :thumbup:

As mentioned by Rangi, such glitches can often be the result of a hardware problem. It is often reported that GPUs do that just before they call it quits.

Thanks! Especially the glare cover is interesting! :)

I tried to add custom snap views as well. Interestingly enough the view direction would be stored, however it would not remember the position of the camera. Didn't try if it had affected the other modules.

Hi guys, Did some extra hours tonight and created the NADIR tutorial you guys requested! :smilewink: I have split it into 4 parts, for easier understanding. This is the first video, designed as an overview / video navigation for the 4 parts: NADIR Navigation System: And this is a link to the playlist containing all 5 videos for easy access: Best regards, John

The screenshot looks just fine! Maybe you can make another one at exactly the moment you try to engange the Auto-Hover mode?

Thank you guys for all the feedback! Very much appriciated! Really keeps me motivated to record some more. :smilewink: Yes, indeed! If necesary I probably could provide hours and hours of fotage of me crashing into things during testing and also video recording for the tutorials. :doh: Thank you Chuck! I am sorry to disappoint here, however, I do not have any interesting background regarding aviation unfortunatly. I am just a 20 year old, who has been playing flight simulators in my spare time off-school/off-work for maybe 4-5 years now. I have been always interested in technical stuff, and so learning systems in the cockpit is a breeze. I just wish I did any good in combat :music_whistling: Yes, that actually was the plan. I am just considering on how to break it up at the moment. Probably going for the several short videos option. :smilewink: Best regards and thanks for watching! John

Thank you for all your feedback! Very appricated. :smilewink: Yeah, the button is called "SA342 Auto-Slaved Toggle" in the "SA342 Pilot Stick" catagory. The auto-turn-to-target only works in the auto-hover mode. Sometimes the camera doesn't ground stabilize itselfe, for whatever reason. You can notice that when you look at one point on the ground, and then move the helicopter just a bit, it won't be looking at that point anymore. I found that switching into the IR mode usually fixes the problem instantly, and the camera will ground stabilize and auto-turn-to-target works. Best regards, John

So, today I got another video for you guys! This time, as suggested, we will take a look on the trim & autopilot system of the Gazelle. Trim & Autopilot System: I hope you guys can learn something! :thumbup: John

I usually wiggle the rudder a bit. If it is not responding, autohover is active. Of course the Gazelle has a doppler radar. ;) If you put the navigation system mode selector to "V.S. DER." the display will display ground speed in km/h and ground track.

Hi there! The picture you posted shows the problem: The camera is looking 4° to the right of the helicopters nose. This can be seen by the 004 above the crosshair. The maximum deflection for firing the HOT3 is 3° to either side. So you have to be between 357 and 003° degrees, else you will get no shooting clearance.

Did you make sure you have the Gyro system on? If not, it seems that you can't enable the auto hover without any apparent reason.

The SA-342M, which is simulated in DCS does have a diffrent rotor than a standard Gazelle, more optimized towards MTOW than to top speed. As you noted SA-342M will be crusing at the 180km/h-200km/h range.

Today I got a video for you on how to use the HOT3. HOT3 Anti-Tank Guided Missile I hope you can learn something from this one! :thumbup:

Thanks for the kind replies. Very appricated! :thumbup: Oh, that might be the case. I might have missed that while doing the startup training mission. :music_whistling: Yes, that sounds like a good idea! We will see what I can do tomorrow! :smilewink:

Thanks for the feedback guys! Allways appricated! :thumbup: Yes, I will accept all virtual stickers and virtual cookies! :smilewink:
