Judging by the previous iterations it is totally justified to be cautious and ask of a trial. In fairness all other modules do have a trial and uh-1h is a Bell product as well so I dont buy the crap that its a Bell contract thing... Accusement of being arrogant is an arrogance by itself the way you say your statement and I am pretty sure there are many others who would want to try before they buy another product that doesnt meet up to their standards.... As far as kiowa pilots video reviews are concerned I only know of Casmo and I happen to have some rotorcraft hands on experience myself.

I didn't forget yet. Developers said they wont be releasing trial

As I am particularly interest in how good the module flies and unable to tell just from video reviews, without a way to test this and see for myself I regret to say that I wont be buying the module.

Cannot sign in to my account as my google authenticator application has lost its registration. I have bought many modules in the past and this is very upsetting.

@EvilBert VRNot in the topic, but 4790k and DDR4 is impossible setup (signature)

Mast bumping is off in DCS Huey. It happens way too easily when flying reasonably aggressively (within flight envelope) and I have been told so by real operators who fly the Huey even today in the Helleinic Army Airforce. Try flying the maneuver in this video here at 2:02 : A mild forth and back "swinging" motion followed by an aggressive nose pushdown. Its nearly impossible in DCS... Insta-Mast bump, if you push the nose down... This effect is very complicated to tune Its not reasonable to occure when you push the nosedown at such low speeds even approaching 0 knots like its happening now. This kinda of problems have been discussed many times in the past. Maybe it gets further tweaked as a byproduct from the further expected engine model refinements. Maybe..., I have no hopes of this happening anytime soon though. f.

I am sorry, but I dont have the luxury to invest(any more) time on modules that are still pending significant fixes, especially in the FM area . I also dont have time to reply to at least implicative comments if not offensive.... Good for you if you are satisfied with the current state of the module. It doesnt mean its the same for everyone else and remember that everyone is free to have their own opinion.

Again, we expect a new flight model update for the Gazelle... Is this ever gonna end? It didn't flew good enough then. It doesn't fly good enough even now. As a result I have "shelved" mine untill further notice Lets hope the next update delivers something good at last. Sorry in advance if my comment is to be interpreted as "salty"

I understand your doubts,.... but trust me the new g-onset is much more realistic and far more correct than the previous. I have experience on aircraft manufacturers sim and I can say that pulling g's in DCS as of now is almost exactly the same. Personally, I am happy with the update. ED has nailed it and I am quite a tough guy to be satisfied with such things. I have to mention though, in order to be exact and fair that there are other aspects of the viper fm that can be still improved further, but that is for another topic.

Thank you too BIGNEWY, I cannot agree more!

Its funny because some group of people supported the previous fm by saying things like: its not so bad, you need to build muscle memory, add curves etc and other claims in an effort to defend the product. Now that the new fm is out they do the same all over again only this time all this applies to the new fm... I dont aim to offend anyone and certainely not the developers. Personally I agree that the fm needs more work. All Dcs modules Fm's actually can improve as none is 100% accurate. Matching a Fm Is like trying to match a color 100% by eye but 100 times harder due to volume of research, study and various complex calculations. In conclusion,If the Fm's were perfect then Lockheed, Boeing, USAF etc would hire ED themselves to train their pilots and the sim would be FAA aproved at least... Edit: My bad for mistakenly referring to @RealDCSpilot apparently he wasnt involved in any of this.

0:17. He ascents aggresively... . You are right on this, he doesnt get out of ground effect perhaps entirely* but why does that exactly matter to you? * Ground effect region is usually 1/2 rotor diameter I am sorry if you didnt find the video interesting. Next time I will make sure not to disturb by tagging you and save you the trouble of ignoring me...

If only, ED improves Engine model according to advice given by @Tim_Fragmagnet the DCS Huey has the potential of becoming one of the best helicopter FM for household pc simulation the world has seen to date. The biggest problem for me with the fm so far is: A: All the problems tim has mentioned already regarding performance B: The slip indicator not working properly C : mast bumping and rotor seperation occuring way too easily. Although this might get fixed as a byproduct of the above adjustments (I suspect it might have something to do with incorrect lift/thrust causing incorrect disk loading unloading and causing mast bump). As of now its impossible to perform these maneuvers shown in this video here (pushover seems doable with no airspeed) and any aggressive flying generally... Ps @SMH this is a great video (mind the low vhs quality) showing powerful climb rates with zero airspeed in various segments... Watch from the start. I think it might change your misconception regarding this behavior.

Also without being SME on rotorcraft (I am a fixed wing pilot). 2400 fpm at max torgue doesn't sound extreme for a military helicopter. I might be wrong though, maybe @Tim_Fragmagnet will know better as I havent researched this aspect a lot.

I care for more realistic pedal inputs. I use the colective gently not like a car e/handbrake so dont care much if its not that accurate in that regime. I dont even know if in reality this would be even possible as the rotor rpm might drop as the disk loading increases too abruptly.
