Wow, impressive landing in that tight LZ, well done! You forgot to press spacebar to report visual on the firebase, so when crown called you activated both triggers. A few tips: You really wanna fly either above 1500 feet or below 3, you never know what you run into. Also, you can use the 'level autopilot' function while you check the map or fiddle with the radios. One more thing: if you click on the red circle map markers they'll say what they are. Looking forward to the 2nd mission :)
Showing me I didn't reply so not sure if went thru. Thanks for the tips, absolutly loving it next vid up tonight
Hi :) I am a commercial heli pilot. It was fun to watch. I was looking for other stuff but CZcams has that talent of making you end up watching very different topic from where you started from ,hahaha. Anyway, You really want to land into wind as much as possible , especially with helis. So when you see the smoke it gives you the wind direction. That is why popping flares is great to locate pax in case of emergency but also give us an idea what the wind is doing at the LZ. If there is no smoke , look from ripples on the water if there is in your sim, or the way the trees bend. anything to help you land into wind as much as possible. Same for straight in autos of 180 auto's . keep the blue side up bud :) Happy flying . If you really love helis, maybe you should try to get some real world time. I am pretty sure you'll love it. If you do not fancy R22's try CB300 or CBI 300 . The latter is a small training heli but absolutely fantastic, a zillion times better than the R22. The R22 is good to familiarize yourself you low yourself with teetering rotor blades system like the Huey . they don't like low pushovers!!!! Blades go one way and you the other.. The Schweizers 300 series are fully articulated rotor systems. And there is a china hat switch to trim like in the bigger boys! Once you get your Single piston rotorcraft , get a rating in a 206 or the like. They are still some UH-1's here and there in the US, South Africa, Australia and a few other countries. If this is a dream go chase it bud ! Time flies :)
Practice emergencies.Stuck pedal, engine failures, tail rotor failures, Skid on take off with low manifold, skid on lading and all the good stuff. Regarding all the info, we heli pilot have to just remember it all for the most part. The only thing that does not do anything on your body in a heli in attached to you between your legs :))))). Eyes scan, ears listen, left hand collective , right cyclic and your feet well on those pedals as you well know lol. You can use the LAP but better keep your eyes where they matter most or delegate to the due next to you :)
For confined areas landing, try this : 500ft ROD for 50 kts, 400ft ROD for 40 kts and so on till 10 . This way you'll never settle in with power in vortex ring and or bend your skids up to your ears lol.
Check your temp and alt before departure to make up for density altitude and cross reference with your chart for your Vne that day. 2 Check how much manifold you are pulling at your base empty and in ground effect, 2 do that same with 100 kg on board. Now you know how much that day 100kg cost you in manifold. Now you can do that maths with your fuel burn and the pax to pick up.
If you are too heavy, do a skid on TO. You have to grind the left skid, then the right, rinse and repeat till you get faster, eventually you will get into TL around 14 kts, milk it till 60 kts and very gently start your climb, emphasis on very gently :) K later bud .
Thanks heaps for the feedback :) All terrific tips I have picked up at various stages, now if only I could remember to actually follow those in game! I often get carried away & it all goes out window. But now you have given me a refresher I will make sure to try drill them in.
Yes would be a great experience to learn, altho it would be a bit too expensive for me to start learning at this point I think (& oddly I have a flying phobia haha) I do know of a few who have gone through the r22 & 44s training & always looks a treat. Came late to my love of choppers but glad I did.
Thanks again. What are you flying at the moment?
Great content as always :) Excellent mission, I flew it yesterday and loved it.
Thanks! Hope you didnt get lost like me haha
Just stumbled upon this from the Google. Thanks for posting it and I think it's what I need to be able to get through it myself now after half a dozen failures wondering around that island.
Its a tough one for sure but such fun campaign. Good luck up there, enjoy!
That was really very entertaining to watch. Very beautifully flown lanky. 😎👍
Thank you! appreciated. Got a little lost but stayed above the dirt haha
Thanks for creating/sharing this vid LP77. I might get this campaign for myself as a Xmas pressie :)
Thanks for watching :) That's great! Definitely worth spoiling yourself haha. Won't be disappointed
I just bought this today, and thanks for having this up, as it helped me a lot !
We are both in for a treat! Has been a lot of fun so far. Be very careful with that engine, almost bought the farm on my last outing.
@@lankypilot778 I am seeing new videos for 2022 that show Big Ben and the Eifel Tower and I really look forward to that !
Dcs is just getting better and better and I really look forward to the F4U Corsair !!! Happy New Years !
@@ctguy1955 yes the incoming Corsair + WW2 carrier will be amazing. Lets hope it times with the WW2 Marianas map! Happy New Year 🥳
Nice flying Lanky! Loved the surf music, especially since "Charlie don't surf."
Thank you! Was terrific campaign
Good job on the mission. This convinced me to buy the campaign :). I usually prefer the mi-8 to the huey, but Reflected campaigns are always well done and this looks like a lot of fun.
Hope you enjoy it! Very well put together & atmospheric. Mi-8 is a terrific chopper, keen to get ińto a campaign for it now you reminded me
What an exercise in frustration. I am happy to see you experienced the exact same set of circumstances. 60 minutes into my mission (most of which was trying to find that hidden firebase) my mouse went off screen as I constantly tried to determine why the FM homing wasn't working. Of course, with all that mouse movement, DCS lost focus, and I had zero control. Boom (VR Player), Down she went. #primalscream.
I see Reflected recommends the autopilot cheat. I also didn't know the map markers could be clicked. Looks like I get to do this all over again. 🤬
Thanks for posting, LankyPilot77.
Oh gosh no vr for me but I've been there with that drop away from screen. Caused several deaths trying to pull up with no response. Yes having the autopilot with copilot next to you makes sense I think. I'm usually a glutton for punishment otherwise
@@lankypilot778 - I am with ya! Flew this morning after convincing myself that the autopilot wasn't a cheat per se. 😆. Mission complete. I liked the immersion. Interesting how we both had similar conversations with ourselves at roughly the same times. Armed forces volume issues, no comms on approach to Anderson, etc. Minor issues when compared to the overall complexity of the campaign for sure. Thanks again for posting. I'll be back should I get "stuck" again. Cheers!
@@MisterMannIndy nice :) Yes terrific immersion right through campaign you're in for a ride. I wasn't sure if it was my settings with the radio volume coming through. Between voice comms & music files, I'd imagine it's a pain getting everything to levels want in game recording
That Full Metal Jacket Reference 😅😂
30:20 shouting at you from the co-pilot seat: "226 not 266!", lol. Good mission
Shout louder next time haha 🤦 thanks :)
Didn’t know this existed! Awesome
In that case I recommend stop watching & jump in the cockpit! haha. You'll have a blast with it
Merry christmas lanky!
Looks like an amazing campaign 🙂👍
And you Felippe, hope your keeping well. It certainly does!
@@lankypilot778 The whole family got the flu on the 23rd but were almost well now 😀.
@@felippejonsson6078 thats bad timing! Glad hear all on the mend, hopefully good health next yr
Thanks 😀👍
Very nice , you made me feel good. At least I’m not alone on the navigation aspect lol. 10 years in the army and still learning how to find grid locations and fly at the same time. Would be nice if we could have co pilots in the huet
Haha I am a terrible multitasker, especially talking while multitasking! Easy to get distracted & pointed other way. There is multicrew but i wonder if could load missions onto mp server it & add a copilot option in campaign. Wouldnt think it would break it but maybe does
FWIW, Start Fuel switch is normally just to the right of the Main Fuel switch. You turn it back off as ToT passes through 450 degrees or just after you let off the starter at N1 40%, whichever comes first. The DCS Huey doesn't model this, as you discovered. Great video!
Thanks for the info :) that was all new to me I didn't know
That fireguard looks like he should be on the deck of an aircraft carrier
the pickup @53:25 mins "Show some hussle!!!" made me lol :D
Haha do they not see the tracers!!
I'm struggling like hell with taking off heavy from the HQ. Glad to see you had the same problem, "which way am I supposed to go" lol
Haha, yeah pretty hairy low speeds. Not sure if you saw this vid, but gave a few tips before campaign. Good luck with rest of missions!

Great piece of flying into the LZ with blue smoke, I am thinking of trying the Huey DLC. My flying experience is limited to Arma 3 Huey.
i love this campaign even if it makes me sweat bullets. after landing FB Berlin i thought i was home free lol foolish mortal . i too chased gray smoke all over the place. thanks im ready to run again
Great vid. Subscribed! Looking to get into Dcs and heli flying and this whet my appetite. 😊 I'm wondering which controllers you are using? Thx matey!
Lankypilot77 I am so glad you posted this video. I just downloaded this campaign today, after multiple crashes in the hills clipping trees, I then thought I was on the home run to completing the mission. The trouble was after landing at the US Naval hospital helipad and coming to a complete roadblock it took your video to remind me that there is in fact the real “Guam Memorial hospital which was where I was supposed to land at. The frustrating thing was that there is meant to be an option to skip to the next mission if you cannot complete it, but I had no luck with that “F10 radio option. This was meant to be the “milk run” so If I cannot complete the next harder missions can somebody, please show me how to skip to the next mission?
I love how your “unscripted video portrays the real “where the hell am I meant to be feeling I also experienced flying this 1st mission, and I am most impressed by your landings in 2d where I have enough trouble coming into those tight landing areas with the benefit of a sense of depth from flying in vr.
Haha yes the extra weight carrying this campaign than what im used to has me extremely nervous over tree tops! Its very much muscle memory flying Huey for me & the added weightd has changed it up so having to adjust a lot. Yes I was lucky to remember Guam hostpital from a driving tour when comparing to real one so had assumed that was the one, but make sure you also tune your direction finder radio in & following needles should help get you there. You might have to post about the skipping mission issue on the forum for Reflected if not working, havent tried it yet. If still get stuck you can load missions in the editor too. Look in main dcs folder > mods > campaigns > Paradise lost > missions. Not ideal as dont get the campign completion recorded but can play any mission that way ( just dont look at the mission map setup & hit fly mission). Often im so fatigued after mission I hit esc & accidently press quit to desktop after mission & not register it with an added scream haha, so have had to do this number times in campaigns. Also if theres a bug can be handy. Jealous about vr! Yet to experience the depth you speak of. Good luck Michael!
Check your kneeboard where the location is marked, and also on the F10 map. Look for red circles and click on them to see what they are. Or you can use FM homing. Don't skip any missions, there's no fun in that ;)
@@ReflectedSimulations yeah it's probably a bitter sweet option for you being able put a skip mission feature in. I almost pressed it by mistake actually while trying select another f10 option last mission, that would've resulted in some cursing. Sometimes if enough space on menu I add a blank radio option to seperate them bit more to avoid clumsy mis hits
@@lankypilot778 now that it's been implemented in the DCS campaign menu, it's quite irrelevant actually. But I built the campaign before that happened.
@@ReflectedSimulations yeah fair one. Missions have felt good length tho so if do have replay not too bad. With no bail out option I'm pretty sure I'll find out soon enough haha
Hey I have a question about the 1st mission where my FM homing stops working. I fly to pick up the supplies fine, drop them off at fb berlin fine, but when i dial in 40.60 on FM for an unexpected dustoff callout, the FM homing does not work at all and i have to find the orange(then blue right beside it) smoke by luck by basically flying around blind till i fly NEAR the area...Any idea why the FM homing stops working???
We’ll done! It helps to see how you handle the bird. Curious if you have curves on right stick. I have 25%
Sorry about the delay I had to go check & clean forgot! I run with 15% curves it seems. Not really sure how I came to that but seems to do job.
My issue with all the UH-1 campaigns is they want you to tune the radio while flying. What is the copilot doing why can’t the make it so he does it.
I think worlds apart campaign has its copilot doing it from memory. All chopper pilots from training are taught manage their radios as part workload so I'd imagine its probably second nature even in this situation, altho not 100% myself what actual sop was. I think Reflected said this was part of experience/challenge he wanted in an intro vid. There is not a huge amount switching in there & can get copilot to fly level if wish while do so to make it easier
@@lankypilot778 well for future reference that’s not how it works. 1 flies, the other does everything else!
Ya, I've played through No One Lives Forever. :)
Haha nice! Still one of favorite series. Might give it another run
Full metal jacket reference
I was so impressed with myself when I landed on that small pad and then I took off with all that weight…… I was once again disappointed.
The extra weight sure makes things spicy on lift off!
Yea it does, your vids help a lot though as these mission are my first time in Huey. Great campaign in my opinion. I’ll be subbing for future dcs content.
Mine does not form droplets on the windscreen in rain. Is there some setting I need to turn on?
Sorry I'm bit late, yes from memory it is a setting box you have to check to have on. Not sure if its by default. Might depend on weather setting too or plane, but if seeing rain should come up
@@lankypilot778 thanks for taking the time to reply. I immediately went and looked for the box to tick and sure enough rain droplets showed up. A bit disappointing that the wipers don't wipe them away but it is still a nice touch of added realism.
the video is super zoomed out
Judging by that start up rockin’ they should have named it Hula not Huey? :D
Haha we're always rockin' in the Huey
Hi Lankypilot is it possible for you to record the Huey ?
In what context sorry? From the outside do you mean?
@@lankypilot778 Oh yes Exterior Sound and Interior :)
@@foxtrotsierraproductions8626 I would love to be able to record some exterior but I'll be blowed how to! The track replay hasn't worked for me since its its inception. I have no idea how people get their outside footage. Any tips?
@@lankypilot778 Well i dont know DCS well but you could always go in exterior view and dont move just idle and record the sound
So a mile is a mike and a km is a click. Got it.
I'll still fly right past it how ever far it is haha
Mike is Minute.
😁
When is it coming To steam?
Not having the steam version for some time I am not sure how the releases work sorry. Hopefully not too far off for you
Got a huge fps loss near the hospital and smacked into one of the towers for it
At least you didn't have to travel far to find a hospital bed haha
gave up on paradise lost and uninstalled it. This campaign full of bugs. Mission always gets stuck waiting for triggers just becuase you did not perform something exactly at the right place and at exactly the right time. Spent so much time to redo missions times not knowing what I did wrong. AWful!
OMG That the game "No one live forever"! Watch out for the bullets!!!!
I bought this campaign. I can't get past the beginning because the voice acting is so f-ing horrible I have to shut it down lol
I didn't mind it haha
People shouldn't make flight sim youtube videos until they can fly well.
Lol you must be fun at parties
