Pictorial Start-up Guide

[Johnny Dioxin]

I have added the UH-1H to my start-up guides in pictures, shown as per the start-up tutorial mission in the module.

 

It's currently only on my website - you will be able to download it in zipped format from the DCS website once it has been authorised - I will post the link here.

 

In the meantime...

Any comments welcome, as always.

 

Okay - here's the DCS website download page:

Great Brixmis. Much appreciated. The web version works well on my nVidia Shield tablet. Cheers!

Brilliant tutorial and just what I needed Brixmis.

 

Quick question. I never know when to turn on the various lights, is there some timeframe as to what lights are to be turned on when?

[Johnny Dioxin]

Officially, very likely - but I don't know the exact times for various lights - you'd have to look on proper checklists or advisaries for those.

 

Usually the beacon light comes on before start-up as a warning that you will be starting up. Further than that, I can't say for definite other than using common sense.

 

Lights are often also dictated by tactical situation (e.g. on a forward FARP you are likely to be keeping lights to a minimum as well as when inserting troops etc).

 

The chap to ask about that is the pilot we have somewhere here, with 11,000 hours logged :)

Very nice, time to hop back in the Huey!

Brixmis is correct... Beacon and nav/recognition lights on before start. Normally they will stay on the whole flight unless mission calls for lights out.

Cool beans, thanks to both of you for the info!

Impressed!! Well done!! Thanks.

Please note that the file has been updated as I had duplicated one of the steps in error (switching on the VHF radio - small mistake, but...)

 

An audio checklist is in the works and will be uploaded soon.

Many thanks, very helpful.

You're most welcome.

 

Please note that the guides that were on my website are currently unavailable, as the website is being completely redesigned. They will be available once again when the new site is up (which may be a few weeks yet).

 

Apologies for any inconvenience in the meantime.
