    CPG

    Is the CPG flight control stick up in the front seat? I've had this same issue and for some reason when I go to front seat, now, the controls are for the CPG but they need to be down so the pilot can fly the bird. So if the stick is up in the front seat hit "C" and then see how it works.
  2. I simply took the spring out my TM rudder pedals after seeing a random post and the difference is night and day, it's simply amazing to fly now, it's like I went from noob to ace overnight. If you still have the spring in your TM pedals it is super easy to unhook it. On the bottom of the pedals is a little door that looks like a 9v battery cover, take that off and there is nothing in there but the spring, easy as pie and makes a world of difference!
  3. I will confirm that...night and day!
  4. I took your post and looked at my pedals and removed the spring and yes super easy. All I can say is WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I have so much more and precise/fine control than ever before. Highly recommended if you have these pedal... Thanks for the tip!
  5. Recently I've noticed the same and it turns out that when I switch to front seat the controls are up for the CPG to use. I have to hit "c" to retract them and then he will start doing what he is supposed to do. I guess the pilot is actually still flying and not the cpg
  6. It won't take that long. Took me about a week before I could hover it but I got there.....then they put out a patch and I had to start over again The overall flight stability seems to have gone down after the last few patches.
  7. It Robs you of bullet space for your gun. Without it you get a lot more than 300 rounds.
  8. that module is 10 years old, at least. I'm pretty sure they have stopped working on it. If its not flying correctly its you
  9. I have a 3 screen setup and would also love this.
  10. I have found that if you make the curves too much the 64 will fly very "sloppy" so don't over do them.
  11. Doesn't the back seat have a tinted front windshield? I know if I switch to Alt-F1 full screen view it is much brighter ?
  12. No problem there had just been an update and I was hoping it had been. I have since found out otherwise. Maybe next patch.
  13. I have same pedals and same problems and still do. I'm sure it's just the pedals and a lack of ah-64d knowledge. Those pedals are just hard to move small amounts with your feet and sometimes when I try they can suddenly slip and next thing I'm over correcting back and forth. However, You can still fly it and get fairly good at it with those pedal. When I first got It had the same feelings you have but they can be overcome with practice and knowledge. Some of your complaints seem to be lack of AH-64d Knowledge, no offence, and again I was exactly the same way. Watch some pilot videos and listen, there can be some real gems in them that will fix some of your questions and problems and help you tame the beast. And when I tell you I had same problems and feeling I mean it! I had to check who posted your post because I thought it was my post but didn't remember doing it. lol I can now hover without any auto pilot if need be, just do not get too close. I just love practicing landings and have gotten quite good at it if I say so myself. I now shoot tanks, trains, automobiles you know blowing up the town. :I can even fly the dreaded I beam onto a target. (if you don't know what the "I" beam is, you will)) Still have tons to learn, though. I may upgrade my pedals at some point but not for some time. Anyways Stick to it, it'll come to you. Good luck
  14. I've never actually watched them when I press trim for 3 seconds so I'll watch next time. I assume I need to let go once they are aligned?
  15. It doesn't matter it works fine on normal JS as well, it is what I use
  16. nope it will still matter a lot. There are no specific setting for all controllers you have to try them out and adjust the curves as necessary for each one to suit you.
  17. I have those same pedals and the same problem. I can only do very very slight movement,you could say just pressure its so little, but then all of a sudden it will become heavy with the imputs and I go swinging back and forth as I try to regain control. I think its the pedals and I'm personlly looking for a new pair.
  18. So how would I know what duration I should hold it and why does that make it go completly crazy out of control? I've read 3 seconds
  19. When I do that the helo goes crazy all over the place. Very odd
  20. Some of those are just "likes" with no comments
  21. Been trying to do out of ground effect hovering, above 50ft, and have found this is the time to start really making sure the bird doesn't get away on you. You need to anticipate what the helo will do when you slow down and stay ahead of it. It seems much more important to do this than it does for an IGE hover below 50ft. and be ready to hit that hover switch the second you are slow enough. and then let go of the controls and let it settle into the hover.
  22. Well, the UH-60l is a user mod so I won't go by that. As for low roter warning, what are you loaded down with? Whats the weather temp, Where are you at? All these thing can cause that warning if you have too much weight. But I'm no pilot
  23. They work but for me not that well. It is hell to hover as the pedals will eventually get to a point that they suddenly take a lot of input and makes me over steer. I can only make very very very small movements and my feet don't like that tiny bit of movement. It's like sticktion but its due to the tiny movements that are required. I can do most other things but hovering can be a real pain with those pedals, at least for me. But I don't want to buy 400.00 pedals so I'm sticking with them for now.
