WTF??LOL The Legendary Floating Tree of Georgia.

Thanks to you Buddy !!

7 " AGL / 105 kph

:thumbup: Great shot Bro

More bumps please. Throw in a couple of LSHFT K and I'm in heaven...In RL the Huey is the 3rd bumpiest ride around..The CH-47 has the highest measurement of vibration during take off with the AH-1 coming in second. A vibration study the US Army made in 81 shows the Huey has extreme levels of vibration during take off that affect instrument panels and crew. http://www.usaarl.army.mil/TechReports/81-5.PDF If we are hoping for the most accurate sim of the UH-1 then it should actually have more vibrations during all aspects of operation ..start up ,hover,take off,cruise,landing.

Any group flights planned today ??

" When you punch off 2.75"s, they have a tendency to slow the aircraft down noticeably." Steve " Razor Back 33 " Bookout. 120th AHC/VN 68-72 Just got done chatting with Steve and I asked if the firing of rockets change the handling this was his answer..I have faith in his word..He is the only pilot to ever have Gen.Westmoreland as a peter pilot on multiple missions as well as John Wayne as a door gunner (Strap Hanger) on 2 missions..Living Legend..

Every veteran gunship pilot has told me the same thing when you felt the thump it was a good shot if there was no thump it meant the rocket was jammed and now they were flying with a live bomb attached to the GS...from what I understand the thump felt was the recoil from the rocket..I will ask Steve "Razor Back 33" Bookout to elaborate.

The recoil from a rocket is fairly accurate depending on the amount fired at one time 48 max it would push the UH-1 approx. 20 feet in reverse in real life.Most pilots chose to shoot single or double pairs at a time saying that the effect of the aircraft being pushed backwards was a very scary feeling even though they were in the middle of a hot AO with tracers all around.

Say NO to CURVES unless she is hott !

My opinion is what you're most comfortable with purchasing there is no need to spend hundreds of dollars on a flight stick sure the higher end ones have lots of features and options most of which aren't really needed to enjoy this amazing simulator.. I use the Extreme 3D Pro with CH pro pedals and I have no problems at all..My advice is find a flight stick that feels comfortable to you and keep in my mind most of the missions are long not just 5 mins up there down but an average of 45-60 minutes of nonstop control inputs..Most of all just have fun !

Great to hear ! Awesome news ..keep up the excellent work..Thanks !!:thumbup:

thnx i will try both!!

Purchased brand new unopened game and installed i can play the game itself but there are not any menus visible so i have to refer to the pics in booklet to figure out where to click and i am unable to change controls my flightstick workd cyclic only have to use keybord ..q/a for up/down and mouse is acting like a hatswitch..has anybody else had this issue and if so how can i correct it? the game rocks and i would like to use it to its full potential thanks SA69
