DCS Mi-24P Hind Moving Map Navigation Tutorial

A quick tutorial on how to use the 'Moving map' with a demonstration flight afterwards. Covering drift, navigation, limitations and planning.

Please note this was recorded on the early access initial release, and a few bugs are present.

I enjoy your Mi24 content, explaining the lesser known systems instead of rehashing well known subjects like the missiles or the cold start, which other channels rush out to make :)

One very important thing: the air probe to DISS (doppler) switch on the left console must be off (down) for this to work properly, otherwise the doppler system shows wrong data and your position on the map will be completely off.

This system is really curious, the engineering behind it, is actually really impressive.

[Plumsytheghillieone]

The Diss-15 doppler system tracks differently over water, than it does over land. To minimize drift when crossing bodies of water, there is a LAND-SEA selector on the drift gauge :)
Not a problem for crossing something small, but should be switched accordingly when passing over a big lake/the sea ^^

The Tutorial Master strikes again. Well done!

I absolutely love these analogue navigation systems and the heavy feeling of the Hind. I didn't know I needed this helicopter so much. Thanks for the video!

This moving map is perhaps the most beautiful system in the whole module. Just as i remember it from the real counterpart, it´s never correct, always wants readjustments and is absolutely useless at night. But it will work in any apocalypse scenario imaginable.
ED did a really nice job here - love it !

Redkite, thank you very much for your effort. Your videos are from my point of view the best that can be found on YouTube. I have little more than a thousand hours in DCS (I have all the modules). However so far no one has made an explanatory video about the keybinds in the Hind. The few that there are are confusing and chaotic. Obviously maybe in the rush of being the first to upload a tutorial on it. Maybe if you have some time you can upload one with your recommendations. Thank you very much for all your efforts for the DCS community.

[Air-Striegler]

Sure missed your outstanding tutorials. Very nice to see you back.
Thank you so much for your great work.

Easy Redkite, post one more video and you've got more tutorials than what the Hind shipped with ;)
Jokes aside, this rotor is a blast and can't wait to get my hands on all bits of information to master this whirlybird.

Instead of ocean sounds, I listen to RedKite to relax. What a voice.

Phenomenal video, Red! Covering little known systems is very special. I must admit that this caught me by surprise. I initially thought that map box was just that. And I am a sucker for odd and old navigational systems, a science and an art that is being lost by the "sons of magenta", everybody is overly dependent/ addicted to GPS. And yes, this kind of systems do need updates every now and then. The old nav system on the A-10A used an old INS, and you had to hit the erection button on that system for this purpose. I don't believe it was modelled for that aircraft, but is is very nice to see it modelled here in the Hind.

Thank you for making quality content! I hope you cover all the systems as your ability to teach is superior than the “other”channels

[thunderace]

Thank you for taking the time to do the research that was needed to make this informative video for us RedKite.

[MrPhantom]

Wow! That was very quick. Thanks Mr Kite.
Highly informative. Lets hope these minor issues you identified get fixed quickly.

Very cool tutorial- looks like I will have to brush up on my VFR flying

[JahBushi]

as always, wonderfully clear and concise tutorial!

[PaletoB]

This is probably my favorite little feature. Old school, like something in between Viggen Nav system and just using f10 map in a huey.

[Munky]

Instead of fiddling with it while you are making your waypoint adjustment, set it to a point you know you are going to overfly, turn it off, then once you are in that position, turn it back on.
