Instructional vids from Headspace

[Lt.Seahawk]

Best Vids so far, love to watch them. Keep it up! :thumbup:

[Краш]

Thank you very much for your tutorial vids and efforts !!!

 

Really clear to understand your english language, the level of sound is correct (not always the case on other vids), good view chosen....

 

For me the best was to learn how to fly the blackshark with the producer note in addition of reading thé manuel.

Now they decide to stop it for A10 and it's a bad news. So really glad that some guys can and enjoy to continue this work.

 

Thanks again.

[Blacknemisis]

Wow your vids are a awesome. I cant wait for the part 2s to come out. Can you do a vid on MAVs pls. I see alot of people (including me) having problems with them. And also wanted to ask can you do some Blackshark vids as well lol. ED should hire you!

[Geskes]

Your voice is really clear and pleasant to listen to. Really clear language too. These vids could easily be official training vids.

 

Excellent!

[Headspace]

has finished processing. Have fun.

[HiJack]

Thanks, really love your videos Headspace ;)

[Phrenesis]

Great tutorials. :thumbup: Especially the crosswind landing vid is really helpful to me.

I was doing some landing practice tonight, and my CADC died, and on finals my right engine died all of the sudden. My approach was fine until 1nm before the runway when I suddenly lost a lot of height and speed and couldn't stay in the glide path, so I thought I'd increase my left throttle but this actually made the situation worse. It yawed to the right and I lost even more speed and height and I ended up in an apartment building. Do you have any tips for me for dealing with this kind of situation?

 

 

Another question, how to enable the PAPI thing in Batumi?

It sounds like your airspeed may have been dangerously low. You want to be flying an emergency landing at a higher airspeed than you normally would, between 150-180 to be safe. Apply max throttle and make sure to yaw with your rudder pedals INTO the good engine. Do not extend speed brakes and leave flaps at ten degrees. Maintain SHALLOW bank angles if you have to turn.

 

Do you know what it was that caused your engine to fail? Did you have a random failure condition set up in the Mission Editor?

may have been a bird strike into the engine fan blades, thats if he had it enabled in options?

I guess that's where I went wrong, because I was still applying the landing parameters from your video (130 knots, full flaps, 40% speedbrakes, 3 degree glide slope). Thanks for the tips, maybe you could make a video about it :)

No random failures or birds set at all, it's just a mission with some planes and waypoints for flight training purposes. I just rewatched the track and the right engine just shut off by itself (no flames or explosions) a few seconds after I jettisoned my weapons because I was doing an emergency landing, (had a broken CADC due to an overheated pitot tube I assume and I preferred 10000lbs less on my plane). Now that I think about it, maybe some unwanted parts came free when jettisoning the weapons?

Thanks! Very helpful videos!!!

Thanks for your contribution HS.

 

nice one! together with my own, an almost complete package.

 

Thanks again.

 

+1. ;-)

The next one is going to be the different methods and implications of ranging and designating ground targets with the LITENING II pod. This would've been out already but I felt it was necessary to double check everything against the changes in beta 2 to verify that things were current. Stay tuned.

 

EDIT:

 

Sadly, I seem to have had to institute a policy regarding the YT channel comments. I realize that people wish to contribute stuff, but this is about video gaming, not instigating internet pissing matches. If I feel that comments are getting too acerbic/argumentative and cluttering up the feed--and you do not bring it to PM--I will block you from the channel and your comments will be removed. That isn't to say that I don't take contributions seriously--I do--but this isn't about online dickmeasuring or who knows more than whom, but rather, getting newer players interested in the game and perhaps helping intermediate players get better at it. I will absolutely not tolerate a public attempt to hijack the discussion into a who-knows-more-than-who contest the likes of which litter flight sim communities and turn more casual players off to the genre. Your cooperation is appreciated.

I learned a lot from this video and now I can get much more accurate kills with the JDAM than before. Many thanks :thumbup:

[Heli Shed]

Again, Top quality. Nice work HS!

With regards to the laser and LGBs - are you supposed to manually trigger the laser via NWS for each target when using LGBs? Previously I'd just lock the point with TMS Up Short and call it good, fire when CCRP said to. Was I supposed to manually be doing the laser all along? Is there an "auto lase" mode or something?

I think you could lase it manually, but I haven't checked--I do not see any reason why not. However, the LGB profile causes your laser to fire automatically, so it's not really necessary. Using it for ranging, however, is a different story--you have to fire it manually for that.

 

The IR pointer doesn't appear to have any ranging utility whatsoever in the game.

Okay, question time.

 

Would it be useful to anyone if I fixed the CCs so that you can read captions? I understand that people may like to read the instructions as they watch. Fixing the CCs in youtube would require some effort but it's not prohibitive.

 

At least one person has already brought this up, figured I'd put it to a vote.

[jerda]

I dont need captions. Thanks for the hard work!

[Steel Jaw]

Not in the least, no.

 

Would rather see your time spent making more videos, kind sir.

[CrashEd]

In most of the instructional videos that I've seen recently I've found the captions to be distracting if anything. Stick to what you are doing mate and you wont go far wrong :thumbup:

 

One thing that would be good is if you could attach a relevant mission file with the vids, so that we can try and put in to practice what we've learned. This would help no end :)

[MadTommy]

Excellent, thanks.
