Starting on battery in DCS can really get tricky after a few attempts or with a not "new" Huey.
On chickenhawk, Mason writes a lot about them staying over night in a field waiting to go back to the LZ to pickup the troops.
So how they didn't encounter any problems? Did they have bigger capacity batteries? An extra external battery? DCS is to harsh? or am I just missing something?
I sure wouldn't want to stay the night, in a field in the middle of Vietnam, with the DCS Huey "Battery starting capability".
Just to be clear, I'm not suggesting any criticism on the DCS Huey, just very curious on real life operation with only on-board battery.
much obliged
