I am willing to pay if necessary to learn how to play dcs correctly!!... Thank you very much Bruno Tiburcio

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.

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 ^^ //A Mi-8 pilot

@@RedKiteRender There's a readme included in the Mi-8MTV2 module. Just look the DISS section up. The nav system is simplier and located at the second pilot's station with a little control and display panel. Note that DISS goes to MEMORY or even OFF mode if you exceed certain angles, which can lead to discrepancies in the data provided.

Redkite, thank you very much for your effort. Your videos are from my point of view the best that can be found on KZitem. 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.

Keys are fairly simple on the hind although made a little awkward if you want to bind the front seat too. Only really need the flight controls, brakes, Petro ai, weapon release and weapon select dial for convenience. Then, if you find yourself using a cockpit control frequently consider adding it to your hotas.

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.

I started sims with ww2 warbirds, used to run low level strikes from France to Maidstone, England with the bf-110 treetop the whole way in il-2 CLOD. Really satisfying to navigate manually after all the planning and prep. GPS can kind of kill the fun of that, but lets you focus on other aspects. I think this and systems like the Viggen are great middle grounds, having their own complexities and reliance on route planning!

Like the mi8 I have had the hind in a vortex ring state already lol.

Review? I'm well aware of using the scroll wheel, I prefer clicking and dragging. Using scroll is slow and annoying, because you've got to keep your head unnaturally still and the cursor steady over what you're interacting with, which if zoomed out is difficult. Click/drag gives much greater adjustment without dependence on staying still.
