just watched simplified start up....

[dali]

when the rotor blades were at 95%....that deep wobbling sound...man....its far we arrived from last Hind sim

[w4rlord117]

On the topic of that, does anyone know how much messing around you’d need to do with the throttle? 
 

is it just a set and forget?

If I can imagine it's going to be like the MI-8 and require a minimal amount of throttle unless you want to not use autopilot.

Great, I don’t have a good way to set up two throttles so I was worried it might be a real pain to fly.

Throttle (actually called "Corrector") is left at 100% the entire flight. Helicopter automatic systems control engine output and you never touch it under normal conditions.

Did anyone else notice that the engine temperature gauge on the front cockpit section were not working? Great tease video though, looking forward to it. 

[Lampshade]

Referring to the time stamp - is the mirror disconnected from its frame a bug or is it like that in the real hind? Looks very odd when the door is being closed.

Not powered at that time? Have a look at them later in the video ~9:43.

 

Release tomorrow? 

[ebabil]

video title " "simplified" start up"

Wags in the video: fliping hundereds of switches back and forth for 10 mins.

As you need to monitor the EGT during startup to cut the fuel when having a hot start, I guess, it's not yet implemented or Comrade Wags missed a switch. It's working in the Mi-8, so should be the same in the Mi-24.

 

@Lampshade Regarding the mirror frame, I noticed that also. Looks like an early build with some glitches.

Seing that the instrument was working at the end of the video means it is working, might not be working correct right now or Wags missed a switch.... I was just pointing out that the instrument worked later in the video.

 

The mirror also catched my eye.

 

Looks mlike the Mi-24 is not as pollished as some people hoped/wished for....it's fine for me, release tomorrow please. 

[Lurker]

Simple start At least those handy circuit breaker switch handles can be used to simplify that process. I did not notice, but he did not power up any weapon pylons or the HUD right?

[coldViPer]

Great video. Btw, time stamp 6:20 Wags starts left engine and open right engine fuel lever

Don't expect HUD to be similar to the one on Ka-50 - it's for and only for aiming only. That's it. No artificial horizont, no speed/altitude/etc. information on it, just aiming reticules and that's it - same as on Su-25 so I don't expect to be a huge fuss turning it on.

[wowbagger]

I really like the ability to easily hide/unhide the controls + seat. Great idea.

Mi-8 also has two inverter switches. Wags only flipped the left guarded switch to on. 

We will see, I think. this will get fixed and we will see it in the detailed startup later on.

I am vaguely familiar with the HUD from the Su-25, it's simple and just works. Point, and shoot. What more do you need?

He did operate the left lever though, so I think it's a problem with the RH label.

[Northstar98]

The other thing I noticed, is what is going on with ammeters at 8:48 when our lord and saviour turned on the rectifiers?

[Bartacomus]

Dude said Saipan.

[CoBlue]

06:26 Engines fuel-levers seems wrongly labeled,  says RH on left lever.

[JetCat]

I personally do quicker rather simplified start-up procedures almost all of the time.

As absolutely precious and wonderful it is seeing every electrical system, circuit, hydraulics plus all these superdetailed systems having a test-switch-setting-function, for the pure sake of flying it makes not really any sense clicking some system test buttons hidden deep in the back of the cockpit because it is impossible to look at the warning light announciater panel in the front of the cockpit at the same to see if these complex and detailed system tests are really working and lighting up some verification panels somewhere else far away.

 

But one can surely keep a button pressed to it`s SYSTEM TEST setting in VR while the camera can be panned to a different cockpit view angle at the same time with headtracking

These system tests are more for super-immersive hyperrealistic 3D VR cockpit experience.

Seems like the person who made the English textures is already aware of this (from the comment section of the startup video)

[Bartacomus]

Thats what hand you are supposed to use.. sheesh.

Thanks for posting this.  Like many others, I thought I was going nuts as well (which still may be the case as I age).
