Yes, you are right. But if you turn the X-ponder set on, the caution light will also come off.

You are welcome Razor. It is just a good excuse to review the machine :thumbup: And by the way, if anyone wants to review a complete and detailed startup procedure, here is one (sorry, it was posted before in the videos thread).

Obviously not. At least as far as I can check and unless I have missed something in my updates.

I'm sorry but I have to insist. The MASTER CAUTION light is not linked with RPM, and it is very easy to check it out. RPM is just linked to its own light (RPM) and audio. Have the copter ready to flight with all caution lights off, and cut down the rpm. Yoy will have the audio advise and the RPM light will turn on, but NOT the MASTER CAUTION light. The same happens with the FIRE warning light, that is independent of the MASTER CAUTION light. So MASTER CAUTION light should turn on whenever any light on the CAUTION PANEL comes on, to drive your attention to that panel. Once the light has turned on, you will need to reset it manually to switch it off.

Are the NVG formation lights operative?

-DME. An easy one and perfect for Nevada.

RPM light is not linked to Master Caution light.

Sorry, I have posted that in the wrong place too. It should be here.

I don't have that problem. It is only a guess, but it looks like some mapping can be actuating the "increase" selector. GOV OFF selection will require manual adjustment of throttle. RPM will drop if you apply-raise collective and will increase if you lower collective, with no automatic adjustment, so it is easy to check out.

Meanwhile it is fixed, a way to work with it is to select the reverse course. You will have an inverse TO-FROM indication, but at least the needle will show the correct deviation.

Yesterday I was trying to complete a radio navigation in Nevada and I notice that erroneous behaviour again. Previously I have noticed it using Tibilisi VOR. On course to the station with the TO flag, I made a deliberate right turn to check it out, and the CDI came also to the right. So it is not fixed. On course to the station. 030º Course selected, TO flag shown and needle centered. Right turn in the vicinity of the VORTAC station. Needle deflects the wrong side. And that is the way it should be:

Thanks Mirmidon.

Thanks to you all for your comments. And useful tip kontiuka.

An informal training mission to check settings for a near ESA campaing.

Thank you very much Mirmidon, you are very kind as always ;) Maybe next video should be posted by one of the ESA members instead of one of the Flurry Clan. :lol: Hope it helps to show the squadron activities.

The last mission from our current Campaign, Middle East Conflicts.

Most of the problems I experience flying DCS model are due to my game controls and control configuration. Nothing like a long and free cyclic and positive collective and pedals. Much more, the huey is a chopper to be flown, usually, "by he ass" in VFR. So with a short and hard to move joystick and self-centering pedals, you must expect to experience some difficulties and almost a different model to fly.

Will you please check if you have subtittles available in your language? I have been editing original subtittles but I can't check them in other languages or at least I don't know how to do it. Thanks P.D. Disregard. I have found how to do it.

Hola. Os paso un vídeo con la descripción de las comprobaciones prevuelo completas y el arranque del UH-1H, según se llevan a cabo en el modelo real. Nada útil para los que buscan salir al aire en un minuto.

UH-1H Complete (and almost real) preflight and startup (Spanish) Hi, this is a video made from the point of view of a former Huey pilot, with a complete description of the preflight and startup procedures. Hope it will help new users to a better understanding of the cockpit. Subtittles available.

Yes, I will. Probably I am not taking the best from it yet, but 4K and/or UHD are becoming the new video standard and I hope those minor issues will be fixed shortly.

Looks good. Thanks.
