Mi-24P videos: flying "by the book"

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. 

I have started a new series of videos about the Mi-24P. I know that there are a lot of tutorials around - and that's great. I personally try to stay as close to the real world manual as possible. Depending on demand (and my amount of free time) I will publish more content like this. Enjoy.

 

1. Running landing

 

2. Vertical landing in ground effect (IGE)

Thanks for this video! Definitely looking forward to more, subscribed and notifications enabled.

 

You should post this to Hoggit on Reddit, it will have more visibility.

Thanks a lot. Great video. Is it possible that you can make a by the books cold start tutorial for both seats?

 

Thank you for the kind feedback! Yes, in fact I planned to make a video that shows the complete startup procedure by the book (it's long!). However some systems still don't work in early access, so I will wait a little longer until they are implemented.

Can you give us some more standard flight parameter for the Hind - like:

- normal cruise speed and altitude,
- normal AOB for a nav turn?

 

You can really cruise at any altitude that suits the mission, up to ceiling.

 

Recommended cruise speeds:

Sea level: 240-280

500m: 240-280

1000m: 240-270

2000m: 210-240

3000m: 210

 

For turn angles during the enroute part I can not really find any recommended values. If you do precision navigation, then your bank angles will depend on the turn radius that you want to achieve. Generally 15° is a value that you will often find and I see no reason why you should turn with higher bank angles during enroute flight.

I like this tutorials, it's me or the Hind need really long approaches more similar to plane ones than helicopters? Or I'm doing something wrong?

 

I'm sure that both the Mi-24 and the Mi-8 can be flown in a more western way. Maybe it's even more effective. It's just not documented and it's not how the Soviets / Russians did/do it. I personally enjoy that part about DCS. Learning the rules, procedures, techniques and basically the flying culture of the former eastern block.

 

But you should also consider that both helicopters are pretty heavy and it simply takes more time to reduce speed for landing. Also, the engines are relatively big and require more time to spool up. That's why you fly them more conservatively and just take your time on approach.  I'm sure that a Huey was flown differently than a CH-53 in Vietnam. With the CH-53 being more on the "airplane type approach" side.

 

I hope that helped, guys!

Thank you everyone!

Your feedback motivates me to put more work into new video.

 

The next one is online:

 

Vertical landing in ground effect (IGE)

Very clean hover landing, minimal roll on the wheels.

HP G2 Reverb, Windows 10 VR settings: IPD is 64.5mm, High image quality, G2 reset to 60Hz refresh rate as standard. OpenXR user, Open XR tool kit disabled. Open XR was a massive upgrade for me.

DCS: Pixel Density 1.0, Forced IPD at 55 (perceived world size), 0 X MSAA, 0 X SSAA. My real IPD is 64.5mm. Prescription VROptition lenses installed. VR Driver system: I9-9900KS 5Ghz CPU. XI Hero motherboard and RTX 3090 graphics card, 64 gigs Ram, No OC at the mo. MT user  (2 - 5 fps gain). DCS run at 60Hz.

Vaicom user. Thrustmaster warthog user. MFG pedals with damper upgrade.... and what an upgrade! Total controls Apache MPDs set to virtual Reality height with brail enhancements to ensure 100% button activation in VR.. Simshaker Jet Pro vibration seat.. Uses data from DCS not sound.... you know when you are dropping into VRS with this bad boy.
