Its a lot better. They fixed the blades behaving funny too.

When its done and EDGE is integrated into DCS: World.

Give it a little collective. You'll have an easier time, as counter intuitive as it sounds.

UH-60A/L/M with DAP capability. The Mike wouldn't need any modification, but I don't know how feasible it is to get the DTS, MFDs and FMS working on it due to OPSEC crap. Alphas are faster though...:pilotfly:

I'm curious whether or not Ft. Irwin will be in the map because if you center the 360x360km area on Las Vegas or Creech AFB, Ft. Irwin sits comfortably inside. It doesn't have an impressive airfield, its a dirt strip just shy of 2 miles long, but it would be a nice addition for rotor craft. If done right, it could even have Twentynine Palms too. But only just due to it being ~350km south/southwest of Area 51. The airfield at Twentynine Palms isn't too shabby either.

4 miniguns and 38 rockets is pushing it to the point where you're power margin is dangerously small. It's obviously possible, depending on the conditions of course (Try taking off from one of the higher airfields on a hot day), but it isn't the ideal situation.

You couldn't open the doors if they weren't a separate part of the model. I imagine it is possible to "hide" parts of models.

The Home key.

That's an engine issue and it is well documented and known by ED (See comments of the BS2 video). CK6Brlrnj6k ppqI2bBGA_8 There isn't anything BST can do about it. :(

Piddling around in the huey. Got it upside down without breaking anything. Citqm6kP6pQ

Looks closer to 45, what the little the disc moves, but I see your point.

The swashplate is not 90 degrees out of phase, nor should it be. The PC rods are 90 degrees ahead of the blade. The PC rod rolls the blade and air resistance does the rest. It is an elegant and simple design. I've tested it in the beta, and it appears to work properly. Edit: Apparently, I didn't test it very well. QKMUEGYlHMw

Are you talking about N1? N1 is where the fuel is burnt, thus driving N2 (Which is connected to the drive system). Imagine if you will a fan (N1) blowing into a windmill (N2). Resistance from the work load will slow N2; this means N1 has to blow harder, so the engine governor supplies more fuel to N1. This is why when you pull up on the collective the gas producer gauge increases. If you turn the governor off (using the EMER setting), you will not see this increase and your N2 speed (along with your rotor speed) will droop. :smartass: Or are you talking about the rotor and engine (N2) RPM tachometers? They're more or less tied together because the engine is driving the rotor blades. The transmission has a clutch that more or less operates like a bicycle sprocket (In principle, not actual operation). When the engine is turning and the clutch is engaged the needles will line up, but when the engine stops the blades can turn freely without turning the engine. The engine needle should NEVER be faster than the blade RPM, this is the sign that you broke something and you are now autorotating (I have managed to do this by flying like a jackass, so it CAN happen).

Now do it on a moving ship with a cross wind. :devil:

Going from a twist grip to pedals is a bit of a trick. But well worth it. Its a lot easier to "trim" your yaw with pedals.

Works fine for me, you probably have to delete your control profile in your DCS folder.

Its a dustoff bird. I think it's "civilian" because Medevac plays by different rules.

"Civilian Medical" Is Army Dustoff

I haven't noticed any issues with the Medevac huey.

There aren't peddle brakes on the Mi-8. :thumbup:

If you can autorotate from 1,000 feet, you can do it from 19,000 feet. ;)

I just tested it, oddly enough there is a failure for the main drive shaft (Going from the engine to the Main XMSN) but not the T/R drive shaft. There should be several failure points for the tail rotor/drive system (T/R Drive shaft, Intermediate GBX and the T/R GBX). I have yet to see a failure on the Tail Rotor that isn't the T/R blades shredding on something. :music_whistling: The T/R flight controls are a little tricky, however, as there are only two ~1/4in cables running down the right side of the tailboom. They would be incredibly hard to take out, BUT there is no back up fixed pitch system (Like in the UH60) that I could find in any of the manuals (-10 or -23), so if either of those cables break bad things will happen. I am curious how well the cambered fairing works without any anti-torque from the T/R in forward flight, though. (It isn't a UH1-H, but the principles are the same)

I have the day off Monday...:joystick:

Don't confuse the rotor shaft being angled forward for forward cyclic input. The UH60 has a 3 degree forward tilt to the shaft/head, Most helicopters have something similar. Additionally, while in ground taxi forward cyclic is applied which causes the blades to raise in the back and lower in the front. The UH1 has a semi-rigid rotor system that allows the blades to "sea-saw", there is nothing wrong with the helicopter in the sim.
