Toxic Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 I am trying to learn more and more about the DISS-15. Love the Mi-8, thank you Belsimtek for making such a great product! I have set the course & distance into the digital display unit, taxi to the runway turn on the DISS-15 "ВКЛ" and takeoff. Now in climbing and then cruise I am not seeing the distance counter counting down. On the DISS-15 control panel behind the copilot I have the dial turn to the far left. And I am still not seeing any change. I believe the Doppler isn't reading my ground speed, i.e. just not working. I have the Doppler Power Switch "On" & the ДИСС-15 (DISS-15) Doppler system and ЯДРО-1А (Yadro-1A) radio control panel lighting switch on too. I have read the English manual on the DISS-15 and used Strut's tutorial on the DISS-15 too http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=127166. Thanks, Toxic :sorcerer: #CHOPPERLIVESMATTER http://www.aircombatgroup.co.uk/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Socket7 Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) The doppler system takes 2 minutes to warm up before any systems that depend on it start working. Once the system warms up the hover indicator, slip indicator, and navigation system will begin working. The switch on the doppler control panel should be rotated all the way clockwise to OPER for leg based navigation, or MEMORY (One click counterclockwise) for great circle navigation. All the other positions on the switch are just system test modes. The doppler control panel switch behind the co-pilot Is set right initially for simple navigation. Just leave it alone. Edited January 2, 2015 by Socket7 Practice makes perfect.
Toxic Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Works! Thank you :) Oh, is there a good tutorial on how to use the great circle navigation? Edited January 2, 2015 by Toxic Had another question. #CHOPPERLIVESMATTER http://www.aircombatgroup.co.uk/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Socket7 Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 I found this tutorial to be very good. There isn't much in the flight manual regarding Doppler navigation unfortunately. http://kriegsimulation.blogspot.com/2013/10/dcs-mi-8mtv2-magnificent-8-basic.html http://kriegsimulation.blogspot.com/2013/10/dcs-mi-8mtv2-magnificent-8-basic_29.html#more Practice makes perfect.
