'''Using the DCS F10 Map to navigate'''

== Grid co-ordinates ==

LAT LONG

MGRS

== Units ==

Note: must be set in DCS options (prior to joining a server)

Kilometers (Mi8, Ka50)

Miles (UH-1H)

== DCS Ruler ==

select ruler form menu bar

zoom the map in to as close to your aircraft as possible (or from a designated landmark you intend to depart from /flyover

right click to set start point

zoom out to locate destination

then zoom into destination as close as possible and place cursor over destination (LZ)

right click to select destination

look at menu bar to obtain direction (GRID) and distance

== Magnetic Variation ==

Depending on the map you are flying, the magnetic variation will be different;

*'''Caucasus;''' subtract '''6''' degrees to convert from Grid (off the F10 map) to Magnetic (aircraft compass)
*:e.g. set your heading carat to the heading (F10 map bearing less 6 degress for magnetic variation)

*'''Nevada'''; subtract '''12''' degrees to convert from Grid (off the F10 map) to Magnetic (aircraft compass)
*:e.g. set your heading carat to the heading (F10 map bearing less 12 degress for magnetic variation)

*'''Persion Gulf:''' subtract '''2''' degrees to convert from Grid (off the F10 map) to Magnetic (aircraft compass)
*:e.g. set your heading carat to the heading (F10 map bearing less 2 degress for magnetic variation)

*'''Syria:''' Subtract '''5''' degrees to convert from Grid (off the F10 map) to Magnetic (aircraft compass)
*:e.g. set your heading carat to the heading (F10 map bearing less 5 degress for magnetic variation)

== Time / Distance Calculation ==

based on estimated cruise speed, determine time to target:

Time = Distance / Velocity x 60

Note: there is an excellent function in Voice Attack that allows you to perform instant Time/Distance Calculations

== Doppler Navigation ==

'''if in Mi8- use Doppler(co-pilot panel)'''

set heading

set distance Aft (to provide a countdown to zero as you approach the destination)

enable doppler once overhead start point

fly smooth and level as much as possible to avoid doppler failure which could result in navigation inaccuracies

instrument panel lighting is located behind the co-pilot and is accessible from the flight engineers seat (3)

If you're ready to join, go to the 229AHB Discord ==> https://discord.gg/ES9GBu3JBK ==> Recruitment.

When introducing yourself, don't be shy. Plenty of guys fly with us that have never sat in an aircraft, let alone flown in one.

Many of us are real world pilots with varying experience levels in both civil and military aviation.

Any and all are ready and willing to help you get up and flying along with us as soon as you possibly can.

We are all drawn by a common desire to study and master helicopters in DCS. The group approach expedites learning and enriches the flying experience.

Usually, within 24 hours of your posting you will get a response from your Company Commander.

While waiting for acknowledgement of your application visit the [[Setup]] section to get started on the requisite downloadable materials.

Gadget: /* Optional 229 Mods */

[[File:229AHB_logo.png]]

=== 229th Modding Overview ===

The 229th has compiled a large and diverse Mod Pack which greatly enhances aesthetics and gameplay. These mods are "Required" to gain access to our servers.

The current nature of DCS necessitates insertion of these mod files into "Saved Games".

Additional "Optional Mods" can be used also. The vast majority of these mods are inserted into the Program Folders of your DCS install.

Mods, however, carry some liabilities. Some servers, outside of the 229th's, disallow mods of any kind and run "Integrity Checks" that will block modded DCS installs.

Also, mods typically need to be uninstalled from your game prior to any DCS Update, Repair, or Cleanup. Removing all these mod files from your install manually is an agonizing error prone ordeal.

A Mod managing program greatly simplifies this process. Our Mod manager of choice is OvGME.

OvGME inserts (Activates) the Mod files into the appropriate spot with the click of the mouse. The mod files can also be removed (Deactivated) with the another click of the mouse.

Multiple profiles can be generated in OvGME. Typically one would have a "Saved Games Mods" profile and a "Program Mods" profile for your ''Required'' and ''Optional'' mods respectively.

See OvGME section for specifics.

Note: Caveat - DCS Updates, Repairs, and Cleanups will not effect mod files kept in "Saved Games" so these do not need to be deactivated.
The Mods kept in the DCS Program Folders DO need to be deactivated. "Saved Games" AND "Program" Mods need to be deactivated to pass server Integrity Checks.

The Required [https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vmana09h7uvvhsm/AAAGe6vkU9Il9kBsPn9J9SQxa?dl=0 229th Mod Pack]Mod Pack can be downloaded here.

The download will consist of a single zip file which will contain the following 10 zip files.

You will copy these Mod Packs to a designated folder.

This dedicated Folder is different from the ''Optional Mod''s Folder and will be described in the OvGME section.

Once the zips are located in the designated folder they will appear in OVGME when you configure the profile correctly.

=== Optional 229 Mods ===

DCS is a relatively heavily modded game. These mods are most notably showcased on the Eagle Dynamics forum [LINK] as well as the DCS sight [LINK] under "User Files".

The 229th forum also has a downloadable collection of Combined Mod Packs specific to our most common airframes.

'''Welcome to the 229 AHB wiki'''

[[File:229AHB_logo.png]]

Your one stop shop for everything you need to know about joining and participating with the 229th

== 1CAV - The First Team ==

The 229th AHB was part of the 1st Air Cavalry and one of the highest decorated units of the Vietnam conflict.

Mention of the 1st CAV or the sight of its iconic insignia instantly invokes the image and sound of sprawling Huey formations.

Inspired by this legacy, we at the 229th strive to emulate the dedication, professionalism, and pride of the men who served in this honored unit.

== 229 AHB (virtual) - Who we are ==

The virtual 229th is all about co-operative gameplay, bent on recruiting like minded individuals committed to expanding our knowledge base and acquiring expertise in flying combat aircraft, as a team.

But its not all about combat Ops. Indeed most of our flying is done in smaller groups, or even pairs, just kicking about on the server doing some formation flying, cross-country navigation, or simply enjoying the view.

Many of our members have on-line flying interests outside of the 229th, which we don't discourage, each to his own. But, we would definitely like to see you here, contributing to the team, more than anywhere else.

===No Geographical limits===

Currently we have 3 companies representing different parts of the globe:

{| class="wikitable"
|style align="center"|[[File:A229.png|150px]]
|'''A Company:''' North America/South America
|-
|style align="center"|[[File:B229.jpg|80px]]
|'''B Company: ''' UK/Europe
|-
|style align="center"|[[File:C229.png|120px]]
|'''C Company:''' Asia/Australia/NewZealand
|}

There are [[active_members]] participating in all regions, so no matter the time of day, someone is likely to be online and flying.

===Training & Mission nights===

Efforts are made to maintain designated 229 mission nights. The particular day of week and time depends largely on time zone of the Company hosting the mission.

Often time, we're just hangin in TeamSpeak's Pilot's Lounge and shootin the shit while casually flyin on the server in various airframes. Not infrequently, this leads to an impromtu group mini-mission.

There are [[active_members]] participating in all regions, so no matter the time of day, someone is likely to be online and flying.

'''Joint Operations'''

Occasionally we do 'Joint Ops' with other Squadrons. These Joint Ops vary in scope and intensity, and can be most enjoyable and rewarding.

The 229th prides itself with consistently strong representations in these events.

'''''Fundamental to the success and longevity of the 229th is the melding of knowledge, ideas, and the experiences of our membership, all while having fun.'''''

== Interested in enlisting? ==

If you want to give it a go, here's what to do.

Some applicants, after joining, learned that their gaming rig couldn't handle the demands of DCS online play.

If you're familiar with DCS gameplay you know by now if your rig is up to it. If not, please check out the "Outfitting" section below to get a handle on what equipment/software you'll need.

You can do a preliminary check of your online Multiplayer readiness on an unrestricted public server such as "aerobatics online".

To do so, click on Multiplayer in the DCS home screen and select from the server list. No password required. Have a fly. You can check your framerate while in game by pressing RShift-Pause.

Next, go to the "Joining" section below. Follow the instructions therein. Finally go to the "Setup" section and do the same.

|}

There are [[active_members]] participating in all regions, so no matter the time of day, someone is likely to be online and flying.

===Training & Mission nights===

Efforts are made to maintain designated 229 mission nights. The particular day of week and time depends largely on time zone of the Company hosting the mission.

Often time, we're just hangin in TeamSpeak's Pilot's Lounge and shootin the shit while casually flyin on the server in various airframes. Not infrequently, this leads to an impromtu group mini-mission.

'''Joint Operations'''

Occasionally we do 'Joint Ops' with other Squadrons. These Joint Ops vary in scope and intensity, and can be most enjoyable and rewarding.

The 229th prides itself with consistently strong representations in these events.

== Interested in enlisting? ==

If you want to give it a go, here's what to do.

Some applicants, after joining, learned that their gaming rig couldn't handle the demands of DCS online play.

If you're familiar with DCS gameplay you know by now if your rig is up to it. If not, please check out the "Outfitting" section below to get a handle on what equipment/software you'll need.

You can do a preliminary check of your online Multiplayer readiness on an unrestricted public server such as "aerobatics online".

To do so, click on Multiplayer in the DCS home screen and select from the server list. No password required. Have a fly. You can check your framerate while in game by pressing RShift-Pause.

Next, go to the "Joining" section below. Follow the instructions therein. Finally go to the "Setup" section and do the same.

Gadget: /* Once you get going */

'''Welcome to the 229 AHB wiki'''

[[File:229AHB_logo.png]]

Your one stop shop for everything you need to know about joining and participating with the 229th

== 1CAV - The First Team ==

The 229th AHB was part of the 1st Air Cavalry and one of the highest decorated units of the Vietnam conflict.

Mention of the 1st CAV or the sight of its iconic insignia instantly invokes the image and sound of sprawling Huey formations.

Inspired by this legacy, we at the 229th strive to emulate the dedication, professionalism, and pride of the men who served in this honored unit.

== 229 AHB (virtual) - Who we are ==

The virtual 229th is all about co-operative gameplay, bent on recruiting like minded individuals committed to expanding our knowledge base and acquiring expertise in flying combat aircraft, as a team.

But its not all about combat Ops. Indeed most of our flying is done in smaller groups, or even pairs, just kicking about on the server doing some formation flying, cross-country navigation, or simply enjoying the view.

Many of our members have on-line flying interests outside of the 229th, which we don't discourage, each to his own. But, we would definitely like to see you here, contributing to the team, more than anywhere else.

===No Geographical limits===

Currently we have 3 companies representing different parts of the globe:

{| class="wikitable"
