DCS Gazelle, third training, ADF systems

[Pictou]

Hello everyone, I'm new to the DCS world simulators.
I decided to play again on the DCS gazelle, but I'm still stuck at the third training mission.
I'm supposed to pick up a lost soldier and use my radio to track him, but I have no idea how it works.

I tried finding something on google or youtube but I found nothing. Did anybody manage to complete this mission? could you send me a link to a video or a tutorial where I can learn how to do it?

Thank you!

Hello thanks for the answer.
Yeah the tutorial had me set the radio to 400 kHz, then I started hearing bips. I guess hearing them faster and faster means that you are getting closer. The problem is, I have no idea which direction to take, unless the missions wants me to wander around (which I think is unlikely), I'm stuck.

Thank you, I'll try that.

Okay I managed to get the distance to 000 on the HSI, but the tutorial asked me to get withing 50m from the wounded soldier.
Does 001 mean 100m? If so, I couldn't see the solider at all...
Well if someone can confirm me that 001 means 100m or below that would be great. I'm tired of trying.

Thank you, I'll check that.

Okay for those who were stuck like me (which I highly doubt, as I couldn't find anything on google), here is the solution (for new people like me, so forgive me if I'm not using the technical words)

After setting the mode selector to ADF position, setting the frequency to 400kHz, and setting the TONE to ON position

You need to navigate using the HSI. you can find the HSI right in front of you
Look for the distance seperating you from the waypoint 1 to your present location :the istance is showing 138.

The HSI is a kind of compass. N is north and bearing 0. 18 is south and bearing is 180.

After you found the HSI, there are two kinds of needle. A double needle and a single thin one. You must follow the thin one as it is the emitter source. The double needle shows you the location of waypoint 1. The distance next to the HSI is the distance of waypoint 1. So first it will decrease, then it will increase as the solider is not on waypoint 1.


All these instructions are written in the tutorial, and it's my fault for not understanding them, but as it is my first time with simulators, I was overwhelmed with information, therefore I couldn't find what to do.

I hope it will help people who are stuck like I was.

Thank you coxy for pointing me to the right direction.
