Awesome content, this really takes the place of an instructor in the process of learning the printed manuals.
21:30 how to enter a fix point on the keypad using Abris coordinates. Thank you for showing how the leading number is 0 (positive) for Northing, and 0(positive) for Easting. I went into the South Atlantic map to test my knowledge by pressing 1 for Southing, and 1 for Westing, while keying in a fix point. Very helpful, thanks.
Some of the most helpful and easy to follow DCS tutorials on youtube. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
Great tutorial! Helped me through some hurdles with the INU
Awesome, I'm just about to start learning the Blackshark, and glad to see some tutorials from my favourite creator of Harrier tutorials :)
Wow thanks man, this is exactly what I’ve been looking for. An intro to BS3 cold Start Up & some Nav stuff, will watch again. Seems no one is doing many tutorials on BS3. I guess Apache stole all the thunder huh? I’m keen on learning this module & hope to see more of your vids on this awesome Rotor. Cheers GA 👌
I get the coolens of the apache but that helo is such a hand full to drive and on top of that having to half of ur front seaters job....I might as well just be in my cozy bs doing it all myself anyways
Thank you for this , here's too hoping you'll produce a few more of these on the back shark.
I'd prefer the front shark
this was really a awesome tutorial. thanks a lot for making flying the shark easier... 🥰
I just purchased Black Shark 3 and I have a lot to learn, thanks for your video!
Good luck with your tutorial series. Dont own the BS3 but wanted to checkout the tut anyways. Good stuff
Finally some BS3 tutorials!
Great tutorial, thanks a lot :)
At 8:45 you have to enter the current latitude instead of the magnetic declination. The gyrocompass needs that value to calculate the compass drift caused by the rotation of the earth. The N/S switch above selects the northern or southern hemisphere.
? Where would you enter current latitude and isn't current already entered (Self Cordn 6:03)?
@@generalgrevous2458 At 8:45 his cursor is pointing to the scale where the latitude should be dialed in. Right below the N/S switch. With greek letter φ next to it. Which stands for latitude btw. At 6:03 he entered it coordinates into the INU which is a different system. The compass system doesn't know which latitude is entered into the INU.
@@marvinblomer991 Appreciate the reply, thank you. So only the first 2 numbers (35) of latitude (35 06 22 N) are entered?
@@generalgrevous2458 Yep.
@@marvinblomer991 👍
You have an new fan.😄
Ka-50 BS3 is cool but i stick to my fun tool Mil MI-24P.
Nice! Thank you
Adding WP's in the ME is straight forward (same as other modules). How do you designate a target point in the ME ? Perhaps you can cover that in a future video. Thanks.
Hi. Thanks for the video, it was a great help. However, I believe there are a couple of errors. Using the two dials on the left panel you set the heading and 'declanation' - I think this is wrong. The left dial is for magnetic variation and on the Caucuses map it is just a little over 7 degrees. The right dial is for Latitude and should be set to 42 degrees in your example.
You also talked about differences in lat long between the two systems. That is because the ABRIS uses degrees, minutes and seconds my default while the PVI 800 is set to degrees, minutes and decimal minutes. You need to change the units in the ABRIS then the lat long correspond in both systems.
Anyway,thanks for taking the time to make the video. I now sit through 15 minutes of initialisation for every mission 😂
6:20 The lat/long coordinates on the INU panel appear to be degrees and *decimal* minutes as opposed to degrees, minutes and seconds (as on the ABRIS panel). Hence why they don't match.
Yes. And it is is quite easy to set the ABRIS to D/M/Dec. That's the first thing you should to when the ABRIS is started up. And maybe put your altitude to feet. In the main menu select Option - Setup - Units. Use up/down to select the desired item and use "Change" to change it.
Finaly, the video I have been waiting for. Comming from the BS2, this doesNOT make me happy though. Apparently this was all not modelled in the BS2, which made life much easier. First of all, you didn't have to wait 15 minutes from a cold start ! Jeeez !
Wouldn't it be good the first of all set your ABRIS to D/M/Dec ?
Can you also make a video about the special settings for the BS3 in the mission-editor ? There are some NAV-settings you can choose from.
Can you also demonstratie if the datalink-points still can be (usefully) shared with your wingmen ? Since your drift might be different the the WM's drift, what happens if you capture a target and send it to your WM ?
Thanks
Thanks for the tip on the ABRIS units. I didn't think of this. Different drift and variances in the position derived from the laser rangefinder is implemented and so datalink points will never be exact but should always be good enough to get your wingmen looking in the right area.
Hello ! Thank for you amazing video ❤ do you think you could cut by chapter and time code your tutorial . Would be amazing for rookie pilot
Awesome video. Thank you so much for the tutorial. You wouldn't happen to be related to Scott Manley by any chance, would you? You two sound almost identical in voice.
Haha, from the same country but not even the same part :-D
ABRIS runs off a 486DX4. I used to use that to play some 90's combat sims. You think it would run Gunship 2000?
nice tutorial!.... so for an accurate/effective alignment it takes 15 mins?.... that's an immersion killer, during a cold start!
btw, i think there is an option to skip that in the special settings tab
Hi, great video, thanks 👍🏻 I have a problem that you may be able to help with. I follow your tutorial for normal alignment but when I turn on the INU the HUD just goes straight to the normal 'in flight' HUD. I don't get the letters at the bottom of the HUD as you do.
In the back of my mind I sort of recall a control setting that does an automatic alignment, maybe that's turned on or maybe I just dreamt that bit 😂 Any ideas?
Thanks again for the Ka-50 III tutorials.
I was beginning to think I imagined this but I found the settings I was looking for.
In the Mission Editor go to 'Additional properties for aircraft' - the three dots next to waypoint editing. You will get the following options ...
Realism
No alignment or fixtaking needed
No alignment needed but fixtaking
Fully realistic
At hot start
Fast
Normal
Normal with Gyro
If you select 'Fully realistic' th eINS initialisation will be as Deephacks's video.
I hope this helps anyone else who is having the issue I had 😀👍
Hi, the INU over waypoint aligment can only be done on hover or can you do it on the run while moving?. Also INU Corrections using Shkval are working?
You can do it while moving but your timing on pressing uncage will have to be quite good. Yes, the Shkval fix taking works as I describe in the video, just set the mode switch correctly.
"Tutorial 1" "As you saw in the previous video" ...
Yes, I first recorded a bonus video in this playlist which I am referencing here.
What does it mean when the overhead-light "AC POS CALDATA" is on ?
I think this is when the doppler nav system isn't getting good returns from the ground in order to update the INU. It means that the system is falling back on using the air data system which will be less accurate. Unlike modern western inertial systems the KA-50 takes updates from the doppler nav and air data system rather than GPS in order to reduce drift.
How did you get the digital displays in English? I have the cockpit switches in English but all my digital displays like the map etc are still in Russian? Great video by the way helped a lot. :)
Under the gameplay tab (or misc tab, can't recall) of the settings, there is an avionics language setting
If you set that to english, all the digital displays in the game translate to english, with only a few exceptions
How much better would a precise allignment be ?
Good question. I haven't tested this much yet so don't know. I'll put together a test case for this and film it. I can compare between Accelerated, Normal and Precise.
is this the only way to align this helicopter? no store alignment like others? 15 or 20 min is too long
It has a stored alignment procedure which is labelled as accelerated alignment in the manual which takes only 3 minutes. However I personally feel that this mode drifts too quickly and is less accurate. Alternatively if you don't want to wait you can disable the "Realistic INS" option in the mission editor and your INS will align instantly.
you changed the channel name?
Nope? What do you mean?
@@deephack my mistake :D
The word is pronounced E R R O N E O U S not Eronus . Great videos though, Kudos to you.
I don't claim to speak the king's English. Where I come from we say eronus. :-D
so where is the options to NOT SIT FOR 5 Minutes doing a silly alignment??? NO ONE is sitting there for 15 minutes. this KA503 is actually looking to be a worse model then the previous one. seriously!
This is a simulation of how the real aircraft works, you can however disable the option in the mission editor if you would rather not wait. Or do the accelerated alignment I show here and accept the increased drift. czcams.com/video/1sMOCWP4NLM/video.html
You can speed up time it only takes like one real life minute
