Knock-Knock Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 No idea why this hasnt been posted here yet, but a former (1998 to 2014) US Kiowa pilot gives us a in-depth look into the Polychop Kiowa. This is a super-detailed explanation and cockpit orientation in the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior Cockpit from Polychop. This is for nerds. Most of the stuff I talk about doesn't have much application in the game, but it'll give you some background information on some of the systems and switchology. This is Pt 1 of a multi-part series starting from engine start, through a runup. Part 2 in a series covering detailed information about the KW cockpit and systems. This video takes you through pre-starting engines to just before the battery is turned on. For detail freaks only. This is for nerds! - Jack of many DCS modules, master of none. - Personal wishlist: F-15A, F-4S Phantom II, JAS 39A Gripen, SAAB 35 Draken, F-104 Starfighter, Panavia Tornado IDS. | Windows 11 | i5-12400 | 64Gb DDR4 | RTX 3080 | 2x M.2 | 27" 1440p | Rift CV1 | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS | MFG Crosswind pedals | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldur Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I saw this in my recommendations yesterday, but hadn't have the time yet to watch it I wonder when this thing might get released though... I'd almost guess it's just around the corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngreenaway Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I wonder when this thing might get released though... I'd almost guess it's just around the corner The tried and true Two Weeks But seriously, I'm curious what needs to be done still or what remaining conditions need to be met before release.

I'd almost guess it's just around the corner I hope it is not too far off. It really looks fantastic. It also looks pretty finished.

rjetster1 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) Amazing videos.! Watching these informative videos really sets the stage for what is to be one of the most exciting modules to date. Thank you for really taking the time to make these as informative as can be. After a few mins I really felt as if you were in a real OH-58 Kiowa cockpit.

Polychop Simulations Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) I have created a new thread for these videos. The opening post will be maintained by me with every newly released video. This will keep things more organised. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=4362550 Skip to around 30 minutes for all new content. Before the 30 minute mark, Barundus recaps some items mentioned in previous videos and goes in to more detail on them.
