One thing to note that I missed during filming: The auto-hover mode actually can be the FIRST thing to be turned on. That decreases the workload of the pilot when trying to achieve a hover, since all you have to do then is hold the trimmer until you're reasonably stable (< 10kph is my rule of thumb) and then let go instead of having to fiddle with more buttons while trying to hold her in a hover. So, as a checklist the procedure looks as follows:
- Engage auto-hover at any speed you like
- Immediately hold down the trimmer
- Slow down your helicopter
- As soon as you're below 50kph use the HUD indicator line; gently steer away from it until speed is below 10kph
- Let go of the trimmer
You have now achieved hover. For safety purposes I recommend you add two further points to routinely check after that:
- Confirm that your helicopter is trimmed with no roll input, only pitch forward (otherwise it will start to drift)
- Confirm that your climbrate is ±0m/s; if that is not the case your collective is too high or too low
Thats absolutely the best way. Either auto-hover to start slowing down whilst you work the weapons systems and occasionally trim to have the aircraft gently slow down, or take a more aggressive approach with auto hover on and possibly flight director giving you suggested inputs for a more aggressive transition to hovering. Either way if the aircraft needs to know what your intentions are and without auto-hover it thinks you want to continue at that flight level and speed and will fight to maintain it. Flight director also allows you to evaluate that your trim is perfect before you hand back control so its very useful, provided you have the time to trim it properly. I will disagree with the roll input though, quite often depending on wind conditions and weapons loadout you will have the aircraft requiring roll input (and especially yaw input) despite being trimmed utterly perfectly. If the aircraft maintains its hover perfectly with trim or flight director then it shouldn't matter how your roll and yaw inputs are set at all.
That is a fair point, wind and uneven loads will ofc make a difference there. But from my experience excluding those two factors requires 0 roll trim to be perfectly stable.
I mean even today with 6-8 knot winds and a perfectly balanced loadout I had to trim out with a fair amount of roll to remain in a hover so it seems a pretty common thing from my experience. I'd say its more of a case of perfect trim will have some amount of roll in the same way it will have a decent amount of yaw, but that certainly won't get towards the 20% autopilot limit so its more a case of "its usually good enough" without roll trim, as is the case for a lot of DCS shortcuts I suppose.
Well perfect trim will never have any yaw, since the Ka-50 doesn't have yaw trim. Unless ofc you cheekily enable it.
Oh I absolutely enable it, I always have. I seem to have a faint recollection that you weren't able to disable it in Black Shark 1 all those years ago, that or it was on as the default. Either way I'm glad for it and would suggest everyone do so, sitting there jabbing at rudder pedals the entire flight has no real reason or benefit, especially with the main DCS combat style as a static hover rather than keeping a moderate speed as in the real world. Trim it out, turn to target, try to lob shots from 2km outside maximum range, thats how DCS is played!
Doing a familiarization with my Ka50 and I now know that russian helicopters were designed to thin out the weak from the fray. None of the components seem to be designed to work together and even actively try to confuse the pilot as much as possible. LOL Like why would the abris show waypoints one way and then the PVI number them in a completely different way.
As you're learning this aircraft you should be spending a lot of time in flight director mode. Unless you're holding the trimmer the flight computer is constantly using up to 20% input to meet its stated goals so if you're trying to maneuver outside of that the computer will almost always be using its 20% to fight you, making it confusing. Turning off the flight computer entirely stops this, but it also cancels out the dampening and other computer features making the aircraft easy to fly, making it harder than the Huey. Flight director is perfect, it tells you exactly what the computer wants to be done to meet your goals if you wish, but gives you full control and does a massive amount to teach pilots. Its also a useful tool to be used on its own at more advanced stages such as landings, rocket employment, occasionally during formation flight, setting up the aircraft for perfect trim and more. When you're comfortable flying it a good way to think of the non-flight director is a copilot, you take the stick when you want to do things but because its a flight sim and you're (or at least I'm) lazy you pass it back to him any time you're not actively changing something. The flight computer will happily fly the aircraft rolled over to one direction and fighting it with the rudder so its flying straight whilst tilted at an angle, learning to fly without that sort of silliness helps immensely. Theres not many keybinds and flight director is absolutely one I'd find very important to HOTAS bind, though once you learn to fly the Ka-50 well you can just settle with holding trim and having a keyboard bind for flight director.
Also, overspeed is absolutely important enough to cause a master caution warning and red light, and it can be catastrophic. When I first played the game I had countless failures due to it. If you go too fast your two rotors collide and sheer themselves, the helicopter will fly out the sky with no control and no ability to make an emergency landing - instant ejection is all thats left. If you respond too aggressively with a pitch back, an increase in collective, or generally anything but dainty delicate moves the rotors will also collide and the helicopter will die. The helicopter is perfectly controllable at high speed but after tens of deaths a week to it I've learnt to take heed and work to reduce overspeed ASAP. Now its been years since my last overspeed death.
Good job me for commenting on some stuff from last year, yay.
Of overspeed, the main concern is actually a principle called Dissymmetry of Lift. The rotor will always produce different amounts of lift on either side of it as soon as you attain airspeed. With enough airspeed, there is no way to compensate and a part of the rotor provides no lift at all.
Rotors colliding is considered a non-issue. According to the DCS BS2's manual, there has been extensive testing and research about this which concluded that coaxial-rotor configuration is no less safe than single-rotor in this regard. You may have an incident of a rotor cutting into the airframe, but this concern is relevant to all helicopters. If rotors do collide, it's a consequence of another failure or damage but shouldn't happen during maneuvering.
Route mode also works when no way point is selected in the PVI800, it will engage stabilize the chopper and fly your current heading. Very handy
thx
29:02 Actually this beeping tells you that you're going fast enough ;)
Just be careful on the controls, that might make your rotor discs collide into each other if you're not doing it gently :)
He always makes it sound like it's all so laborious
About the DTA/DH button on the PVI-800: What that will show you is your desired track angle, so basically the exact path between your previous and your current waypoint (top line, first three digits), your ETA in minutes (top line, right three digits) as well as your remaining distance in the bottom line.
hi thanks for the videos its been very helpful , I am colour blind and its hard to see the blue pvi-880 buttons on my cockpit ,are you using a modded cockpit as I can see yours clearly?many thanks
The new HD version of the aircraft is out so you may not have this issue now.
I hope this means some Helo work in your videos. You need everyone to be able to fly a huey so they can go and pickup all the pilots that get thrashed on take off :)
Would be cool to see the helos go out to rescue people who were downed. I am terrible at avoiding threats, but flying a helo in DCS seems to be easier for me than the fixed wings.
13:01 Wait, aren't Latitude and Longitude back to front? Latitude (as in 'lateral') means from side to side (East and West), and Longitude means Up and down (North and South), but on the ABRIS they are back to front. Am I being dumb? have I missed something?
What are the two things on each side of the HUD Brightness panel? Could it be a periscope for looking to the rear.
They are non functional and removes in the ka50 2
hi grim great tutorial thank you very much, I am using the ka50 again, and they are helping me a lot, but I have a doubt how do you put the abris in English? I have used what it says in the dcs forum, modifying an LUA, but the problem comes when I go to the blueflag, it tells me that it cannot verify the integrity of files and expels me from the server. If the cabin is in English, the mod of devrim, thank you very much for your possible help.
U dont need to modify ur lua at all, set your options > gameplay > avionics lang to english, then go to special settings and make sure ur black shark is on english cockpit
DOS is fun, too.
I see your cockpit has English legends on controls. Is this a new skin for cockpit and if so where is it available?
Change the Cockpit language in "Additional Settings -> Ka-50" to English, should be available in stock DCS. Alternatively, Ricardo's BS2 Cockpit Mod (www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/602834/ ) is a nice revamp of the cockpit.
Be aware that ABRIS/EKRAN (Voice warning) language depends on the "Avionics Language" setting, NOT on your cockpit language! You also can't mix English ABRIS and Russian voice warnings; it's either/or.
You can change that in game settings for the KA-50. There is one setting for the cockpit labeling and one for the instruments (like ABRIS etc.) as well.
13:39 did I just hear "roger, und dann?"
Are you german speaking, Grim Reapers?
Lol fairly certain that was just "Roger, done". ;)
Great video and very helpful! I'm actually a bit confused with the autopilot lighting though. Does light blue mean active or inactive? Here it looks like light blue is active,
In my cockpit, however, it seems vice versa (v. 2.5 open beta). Can someone "shed some light" on that? :D
I don't know which mod the guys here use but if you check out the file library at the digitalcombatsimulator webpage you can find what you're looking for. I'm using the "Ka50 Cockpit Lights - Colorblind Mode" mod which works like a charm. Err well, more precisely the mod uses obvious colours to make it possible to distinguish between "on" and "off".
In the current version darker means on. It's been fucked up since 2.5.
is there a way we dont have to set the trim every time flying the Ka-50
not that I know of
How is your avris in english, mine is still russian for the selection buttons even though I choose english in the game options
You have to go to the general game settings and change “aeronautics” to “English” instead of “default”
"VRS my backside" LOL
You can have like 20 knots of sideslip in DCS and still continue to suck in your own downwash. The ED coders appear to be out ot lunch on helo physics still.
Way do you have to navigation system that are not connected?? Russians
Does this come with a diploma? Who knew you had to be a engineer to play dcs it would take most people weeks if not months or years to master this mod
Hey Jesse, we share the same surname: Terrell, that is so cool!
Grim Reapers well hello there possible long lost relative.
Damn, that was over-complicated.
I can’t seem to make my ABRÍS in English, I have the cockpit settings set to English though
did you figure this out?
Go into Settings from the Main Menu, Gameplay tab, to the top right: Change Avionics Language. ;-)
@@BCooperArtMind thank you I didn't even notice this setting. I wish they would put a foot note on the model when purchasing this but now I will never forget it. thank you
@@wolfmafia5621 You're welcome, and glad I could help! :-)
Odd, I have Blackshark 3 and computer is always Russian even when switching from default to english.
If you're going to do a tutorial at least know your stuff beforehand. the diamond shows the heading to the selected waypoint on the PVI or if none selected the last heading when the trim button was released or the heading stability assist was turned on.
Hi, my ABRIS is in Russian, how can I turn it to English?
Do you have English cockpit turned on?
@@grimreapers yes
@@grimreapers it still shows Russian
@@grimreapers is the English setting in the abris itself?
@@sergeantliangplays If you haven't figured this out, it's the "Avionics Language" setting (same menu), it defaults to that, the HUD will also become English as well.
