You know what blows my mind... I figured ED was sort of faking the visual effect of the rotors spinning at 100% RPM. But if you pause and/or run the video playback at 50% speed, you can see the blades perfectly. That's pretty amazing, IMO.
Casmo... I’m bored in my Study Hall in school right now and JUST got on youtube to learn about the TSD, that was the one thing that was stumping me the most yesterday. I can’t express how perfect of timing this was 😂 Get me home, I wanna keep flying this beautiful heli!!!! Again, thank you so much for these tutorials. Truly coming in clutch when not much information is out. One other thing that was kind of stumping me is how the trim works in the AH64 and the customization for the trim in the Special menu in the options. I couldn’t find much information on this. If you have the time, could you briefly go over this in some capacity? Love ya.
Thank you so much for making these videos! My son and I have been having an absolute blast in the Apache (with him as CPG and me as PLT). We are slowly and steadily improving and adding new "tricks" to our bag, many thanks to you and your videos! What started as just trying not to crash while maybe shooting a few unarmed trucks has now become night missions into defended territory. We learned pretty quickly that we're more of a ninja than a knight riding in with heavy armor. Sneak in, take out our target(s) and sneak back out.
Glad you showed how to force the cursor to the next screen. That means one less key bind that I'll have to remember to get the cursor to swap screens. Thanks!
i started to learn the AH-64D in DCS a week ago and since then learned so much from your videos. I just want to thank your for your effort and your knowledge. Can't believe a real AH-64D Pilot is teaching me how to fly. You and "bogeydope" are my goto channels to learn DCS stuff. What a honor for my that a former F16crew chief and a AH-64 Pilot are my "personal trainers"
Fantastic, he really knows his helicopter, but when you're teaching something new to people, you can't assume they are at certain level, and if you do make it clear. "This will only make sense if..." This really leaves more questions than answers.
Thanks for the vid. I know the boring stuff is hard to teach, but it is essential info for those trying to 'professionally' (in a digital sense) learn how to fly the aircraft to be an effective part of the team. Thank you for taking the time to put this one out there.
You are posting these videos so fast. This is amazing. I'm so stupid and slow with TSD right now. :-D I'm also trying to map the rest of controls....such a mess. But as always, great video and great info. I'm in my office and I can't get these systems out of my head. :-D Right now the situation is like - I want to know Apache perfectly, but I suck at everything. Damn. What about some lottery game and the winner will get a few hours with You teaching him directly in DCS? :-)
Loving the bite size vids! Can't wait for the navigation one. Been pulling my hair out trying to create waypoints etc, and I'm certain it's going to turn out to be simple.
As always, amazing work. Double-clicking the TSD to move cursor was gold. I was going crazy with that today. Thanks for all the time you put into these.
I actually like clicking around the TSD just as much, if not more, as using the weapons. So much specific data you can plug in. Kinda like the A-10 CICU but on steroids!
Thx for video as always I’m taking this module slow but it’s great learning it properly. New modules are great but can be frustrating learning so much. Your videos are first reference and invaluable. Clear and to the point not too much info etc good training method. Looking forward to watching more
For anyone that's having issues with the force trim I noticed today and idk if it's a bug or not but if you set force trim up and try to keep moving your pedals and cyclic it won't register in game as soon as you set trim recent your gear and try again
Hey mate, as someone just getting into the Apache, these tutorials are a godsend. Just wanted to know if you have gone into more depth on the show page anywhere or plan to any time soon? I had a bit of a delve into it and it seems very powerful, but also a bit beyond my knowledge, very keen to hear the ins and outs of it.
0:06 You killed me... :D You gotta admit, you made the video with that green lighting on on purpose, so we do have a hard time following the almost invisible mouse cursor, didn't you? At this point I'm gonna shout out ED to finally do something about the mouse cursor visibility for the umpteenth time and I won't stop until something happens in a decade or two. Back in DCS 1.x it was twice as large and had a different color that made it stand out more... just get us some options, please!
this is like the 3rd or 4th apache tutorial ive watched between you and grim, and i only just realised that you can press buttons with the screen cursor, i was sitting there after the start up video like how the bloody hell is he pressing boresight while aligning the circles
Casmo- always remember that this was once something you did day in and day out, so in some aspects its boring for you. Know that no matter how boring the topic may be, its the first time many of us are getting an explanation on how this all works, and will be the closest most of us ever get to the real thing. And, of course there will always be the hardcore that geek out on even the most mundane systems. Not that I would know anything about that... ;) Appreciate these videos.
Hey Casmo, any chance of a video talking purely about transition to hover? The Apache flies pretty nicely but whereas in the Mi8 I can make it do exactly what I want, I've found approach to hover/transitions a total bitch to get right. Might be something to do with slightly less feedback from the SCAS or whatever but I'd love to see some real-world technique and cues on how to do it properly. Cheers
Practice 🤷🏻♂️ I mean there isn’t “a trick” to it. Every aircraft flies different. You have to learn how it handles and change to meet that standard. I think it flies like a dream whereas I think the Mi8 FM is hot garbage. Just have to go slow and figure out what you’re doing wrong with practice.
Thank you so much Casmo, Apache is an absolute monster for me system wise, your videos help a lot. Just wondering, could your please show the controls indicator with RCtrl+Enter? I’m struggling with the rudder input and the trim. Thank you!
Love your tutorial videos! Please please can you make a controls/rudder and trim video? I think this is the topic many ppl are struggeling. It would be great
Hey Casmo quick question, why is it that the apache uses the metric system (kilometers) for distance as opposed to nautical miles like jets tend to use? Thanks in advance, and please keep up these videos, they are super useful.
Great work as always, Casmo! I'm curious if I'm overthinking the Force Trim, or if it just doesn't quite work like the Ka-50, but I'm just having a bitch of a time trying to get into a stable hover in the Apache, and wonder if it's just because I was spoiled in the Ka-50...though I feel like I might be more stable in the Hind at this point. I'm still playing around with the trim options and everything, but figured I might just be missing something.
The apache is much more of a "hands on" flyer. Trim it in small increment to a stable position and then refine your trim with small adjustments and multiple short presses of the trim switch. As you bring your flight profile where you want, be that hover, sideslip, aerodynamic trim or nose to tail trim you can simply tap trim and release controls. In short less holding the trim button like the KA-50 and more tapping it.
Does the Apache have a data cartridge like on fighters? Seems like a lot of this stuff would be good to save rather than change every time you jump in the seat. I had no idea I could toss that vfr sectional for satellite image, that’s pretty cool.
I guess it's just the DCS simmer's thing to reset trim to center if possible, but basically you should trim according to your needs, including for a hover shortly before landing. Just leave it there and you'll pick up just fine again.
Hey man I got a question - thanks for all your vids btw - I was flying with a buddy the other day, with him as the CPG. When we were getting painted and eventually tracked by an SA-8, I could see on my TSD the 2D direction from which the radar ping was coming in the form of a yellow dotted line. However, my friend could not see this information. Does this have something to do with that threat page you didn't go into? The weird thing is, when I hopped into the same mission by myself later as the CPG (George AI pilot), I was able to see the yellow dotted line when getting painted by radar, by default. Any ideas what might be going on? Thanks again for your videos, and if you do manage to find time to answer my question, thanks very much.
Really looking forward to the navigation video. Right now I can manage it fine in the F/A-18 and F-16 but how to input waypoints/steerpoints is really confusing me at the moment.
we need an srs (simple task radio) tutorial.. my srs is up2date and it wont let me work with the radios.. they say unknown all time in srs toggle radio overlay.. and iam surly connected and everything is right
@@shagrat47 It's also animated in VR - but only when turning it away. It pops back in front of the eye instantly. Should be an easy fix though. It's a massive immersion factor in VR, especially since the lens is reflecting things as well and it's slightly visible in peripheral vision still.
Hi Casmo. I've tried entering coordinates manually a number of times as per the TSD training mission. In the training mission it works fine, but in my own mission, whether entering coordinates in my grid, next to my grid, no go. The KU just flashes after entering the coordinates. Even tried in NAV and ATK mode. Any advice? Please cover in the navigation tutorial what possible causes are if the KU just flashes.
Dudes it’s starting to come back already. I find a lot of the little things that make stuff easier aren’t quite implemented yet. Do you have a good control profile? How do you turn off the HDU? I couldn’t find that binding anywhere.
And also tweaking control sensitivity… and I realize my pedals are well past their prime. Lol they kind of catch and bind in spots. Need some smoother ones. With the huey they aren’t so terrible
@CasmoTV Hi there is there possibility to create offset(hdg+distance) from point(WP,HZ ect). example jtac give first BP than task to destroy tgts hdg 270 / 10km ?? like in A-10C
Just make a waypoint at that grid and fly that direction. Unlike most jet pilots we don’t need a lot of fancy shit to tell us where we are and where to go. 🤷🏻♂️
Thank you again :) Is there any reason my cursor stops responding occasionally ?? I have to swap MPD's and faff around with the digital cursor move for it become active again where I can then use my analogue cursor again ? a bug maybe ?
For me, staying airborne has been a challenge. I keep flipping over and crashing when I use force trim. Its nice while I'm cruising, but as soon as I change direction I lose control and can't reset my trim. I'm really fighting against the aircraft to stay airborne.
Lookup trim modes....they have huge impact...Default behaviour is that if you hold trim up - you disconnect trim and when you let go - trim that exact position...You have to immediately let go of cyclic - if you dont, you cyclic position is instantly added to the trimmed position...and you end up with too much action... And you can even trim rudder - if you select it in options... Use right ctrl + enter to view your trim... Its easier to fly with some forward speed than hovering...so if you start losing control, try to aim nose down....
Hi Casmo! I have a noob question: is there a way to me (as a CPG) point my IHADSS to a location and then bring the tads to that point? I lost many time to find the target with the TADS... and in a middle of a fight is a pain searching for clues of the area to find the target and aim on him as he fires at you...
@CasmoTV Thanks for reply. I don't know how to slave the TADS to the C-HMD... When I activate the slave to the HMD I only control the weapon, the tads doesn't move. I wanted to use the HMD slave to take the tads to the desired location and then go back to the TEDAC. Sorry if I'm giving you a headache XD, If you talked about this topic in any video, can you tell me which one?
boss, i got a question, talking to others, and my own experience(21yrs scout), why did they deny us apaches during the daylight, but gave us kiowas? ive seen apaches flying at maybe 300 meters, slow, taking a shit ton of smalls arms, but kiowas came in roof top, strafe and rtb, also kiowas flew during the day, we did get apaches at night, and c-130 gunships, this was in SADR City in 2004-05 and 07-08, i mean kiowas at rooftop, allowed to fly during the day, vs apache at usually 300m and slow as fck, let me know your what you think, thanks, Jake
What I`m wondering the whole time is, if the Apache does have an auto-hover function at all? I understand that not all trim functions are included yet, but I don`t know if this feature is part of the actual helicopter systems or not? Because... if not... how are you supposed to fiddle with those MPD`s during flight, if you are not a squid? ;-) I loosened the spring of my cyclic stick to have a more sensitive way of controlling the aircraft, but this again makes it near impossible for me to keep it in a hover and focus on the MPD`s... :-(
Casmo, are you using stable or open beta for DCS. I use Stable and the update for the Apache hasn’t released yet. I’m just wondering how you have the aircraft and I can’t update my game to fly it. I did pre order it.
This has nothing to do with the video, but I see your screen zoom in and out a tad bit like your zoom axis has no dead zone. You must have a Warthog and some Cougar MFDs. If you want to fix that, you have to go into thrustmasters profile manager and turn the lights off for your warthog. I bet its been driving you nuts for years...
Color bands work with Digital map and A/C at the moment, it seems. 🙂
Yeah dig map and A/C elev is fantastic 😜
You know what blows my mind...
I figured ED was sort of faking the visual effect of the rotors spinning at 100% RPM.
But if you pause and/or run the video playback at 50% speed, you can see the blades perfectly. That's pretty amazing, IMO.
It's refreshingly straightforward and intuitive compared to a lot of other aircrafts' "minimap" displays
Thank you.
"a lot of other aircraft's minimap displays" - You mean those that we just turn off because they're basically useless? :D

Thanks for being OPSEC friendly bro.
I'm actually really glad the FCR isn't done yet. I wouldn't be taking the time to learn all this other stuff otherwise.

When you say Double Click - what binding is that ? MFD cursor depress ? I can't seem to get it work
Great video Casmo, very helpful. Baby steps for me.

Hey Casmo quick question, why is it that the apache uses the metric system (kilometers) for distance as opposed to nautical miles like jets tend to use? Thanks in advance, and please keep up these videos, they are super useful.
Most ground forces use metric, yes even the US. makes it easier for us to communicate. We use miles when we talk pilot, metric when we talk Tactical.
Great work as always, Casmo!

Irl yes. In DCS not yet.
Can’t figure out trim so I’m just not gonna use it, to be honest I think it will be less hassle 🤣
Well you’ve owned for a day… maybe walk away and circle back later but don’t let frustration make decisions for you.
Can we get a video on how to setup new waypoints, routes, targets and how to edit them? Thanks!
Tomorrow
We need a button that centers trim back to before take-off. We're just guessing where trim is coming from forward flight to a hover.
Nah you just need to practice and learn what works. Just like the real aircraft. I’ve been flying this module for 8 months. Never needed a trim reset.
@@CasmoTV you're also a real pilot lol. How do you "know" when your trim is in a neutral position?
@@dannyd7714 I can’t tell you that. There isn’t an answer. Just keep playing. Try flying without it for a bit. Then make tiny corrections.

Lolz, you said p p.
boss, i got a question, talking to others, and my own experience(21yrs scout), why did they deny us apaches during the daylight, but gave us kiowas? ive seen apaches flying at maybe 300 meters, slow, taking a shit ton of smalls arms, but kiowas came in roof top, strafe and rtb, also kiowas flew during the day, we did get apaches at night, and c-130 gunships, this was in SADR City in 2004-05 and 07-08, i mean kiowas at rooftop, allowed to fly during the day, vs apache at usually 300m and slow as fck, let me know your what you think, thanks, Jake
Different capability and limitations.
My wife said, "You sound like Mark Zuckerberg." I don't see it but figured you would like to know. Thanks for the tutorial.
I wish I had a wallet like him.
@@CasmoTV You're not alone... BTW I think he has a deeper voice.
Would you mind taking your view zoom off of your axis? Your view is constantly jiggling , makes me feel like there's something wrong with my eyes.
I can't even figure out how to get the cursor on the TSD to move.
Cursor isn’t mapped right then
Is there a way to have the TADS slew to the Pilots hdu?
Acquisition source PHS, slave.
What I`m wondering the whole time is, if the Apache does have an auto-hover function at all? I understand that not all trim functions are included yet, but I don`t know if this feature is part of the actual helicopter systems or not? Because... if not... how are you supposed to fiddle with those MPD`s during flight, if you are not a squid? ;-) I loosened the spring of my cyclic stick to have a more sensitive way of controlling the aircraft, but this again makes it near impossible for me to keep it in a hover and focus on the MPD`s... :-(
Yes it does but it’s not set up in the module yet.
@@CasmoTV Thanks for your quick reply, that`s great to hear! 👍
Casmo, are you using stable or open beta for DCS. I use Stable and the update for the Apache hasn’t released yet. I’m just wondering how you have the aircraft and I can’t update my game to fly it. I did pre order it.
Cause it’s open beta only. That’s how the EA releases work. Beta first.
@@CasmoTV okay thanks.
Can the distance measurement values on the TSD be changed from metric to imperial??
How did you know the target you set was "55"? Is there an indicator somewhere that tells you that, that I probably missed?
That’s what it is. Defaults.
Double click what to move the cursor over?
You just push it to the edge of the screen you wish to change to, let go and push again, effectively a double tap :)
This has nothing to do with the video, but I see your screen zoom in and out a tad bit like your zoom axis has no dead zone. You must have a Warthog and some Cougar MFDs. If you want to fix that, you have to go into thrustmasters profile manager and turn the lights off for your warthog. I bet its been driving you nuts for years...
Nope it’s a mongoose and it’s new. Still getting it sorted.
@@CasmoTV do you have the cougars? theyre usually what cause the problem
I do… interesting.
whats the name of the reset-trim button?
Isn’t one
@@CasmoTV thats... kinda lame. but thanks.
@@crusader__aut7165 not after you learn to use it. Give it time.
i cant even get my cursor to move ...
Check your mapping
