Hueyman

Damn yeah I remember those !! I mainly played SaR 4 as the Medevac Huey was just terrible, can't stand the default sound ( like if there was a 4 bladed rotor ) of that helo. Really great game series, I wish we would have a SaR 5 or even 6 now... with up to date graphics and physics... I had those hopes with Take On : Helicopters, but all vanished, it's just too simple. I was looking for an heli sim where all the real life parameters has to be taken carefully into account..., T4, TOT, Ng rise, torque, retreating blade stall, etc etc ... I found X-Plane, then DCS : UH-1 ;-) Putting all my new hopes on that latest one, X-Plane is a bit empty compared to the hot world of DCS, full of action. Hueyman

>>> http://www.flugzeuginfo.net/acdata_php/acdata_205_en.php " Remarks The Bell 205 is a stretched development of the Bell 204. The Bell 205 was license-built in Italy by Agusta(Agusta-Bell 205 & 205A-1) and Japan by Fuji Heavy Industries (Fuji-Bell 205A-1). 352 Bell UH-1D have been assembled by Dornier for the German Forces (Bundeswehr). " So, no, it's not " genuine " North American built Huey's, and those Dornier German ones got wider blades. Then, the sound link I gave isn't 100% accurate as it's the Bell 212, with two Pratt & Whitney PT6 free turbines instead of the single Honeywell T-53. But the rotor system remain almost the same. Anyway, we can't get agree or disagree on sound before they release it ;-) And for people who are looking for more " natural " sounds ( at least, compared to what I heard until now ) I'm sure there will be several other soundpacks, like the KA-50 had. Hueyman

Yeah yeah yeah ... I know sound is something very complex, as I stated before, and you too guys, many many factors are coming into the equation... But from the simplest point of view, I didn't heard anything really convincing from the DCS videos I've seen so far, especially in the cockpit. For example, let's compare the sound in the " Autorotation " Huey Belsimtek Video and this http://www.sounddogs.com/sound-effects/25/mp3/312523_SOUNDDOGS__he.mp3 You clearly hear the rotor sound is more present than the turbine. Not in our incoming simulation. We also can hear one blade seems to be louder than the other one, because it's behind the " wake " of the previous blade etc etc... If you want to get nice sound samples of real Huey's >>> http://www.sounddogs.com/searchresults.asp?Keyword=Huey Yeah low quality, but good enough to feel that bird. @Noj : what you are saying is certainly true as Germans didn't have Huey's... I mean, Dornier licensed made UH-1D with... much wider chord main blades ! : http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-photos/middle/8/1/0/1950018.jpg this explaining that sound. Hueyman

Sure a rotor sounds are generated from so many factors... blade AoA, aircraft speed, density, temperature, pressure, global atmosphere, wind going through rotor disc etc etc... But basically, there is a common sound everyone can recognize, like in this amazing video ;-) I'm sure we'll have to hear the actual sounds on the game to make opinions, but that sounded strange on the video. Don't know if they recorded real sounds on a real one ( I wondered the one in the UK, the " G-HUEY " ) or if they created sounds with some Computer Assisted Music synthesizers...

Am I the only one finding the DCS Huey sounds sounds too " synthetic " ? My reference video is this one for years : What do you think ?

Yeah Newspeedy, I like that little story, And I also LOVE the way that forum is behaving, nothing wrong about that ;-) Just said on some other forums, which I won't tell name, they would ban everyone in less than a day ! Really looking forward to the chaos it will be over there when it'll be released ;-) Until, have nice days dudes, Hueyman

ok so please Cowboy friend ! Please give me 2000 $ so I can buy a great PC for DCS Huey, A-10 ... FSX, X-Plane, Cliffs of Dover, Rise of Flight, Armed Assault 3, Silent Hunter V ... ;-) :-) :-)

Lol guys calm down it's truly becoming ridiculous ;-) We'll have our Huey for that year, and this is already marvelous, why posting messages every 15 seconds to express yoyr frustration/excitement feeling to the whole world ? I know you did everything to waste time, reading Chickenhawk ( well, that is not a waste of time !! ) etc etc, but now it's about to be released. Everyone wanted media flow, manual etc etc... It's here ! so let's learn that manual by heart and I'm sure even before you'll know it, the Huey will wait you in the taxiway, for the MAIDEN FLIGHT ;-) I'm sorry if I feel old game but, I come from a dictatorship forum where I would have been banned 15 times just for doing 1/10 what you are doing " when is this released ?!!! when is this released ?!!!when is this released ?!!! "

Really nice Vierkles ! Moreover, I'm not English nor American so understand something written in another language is always makes me glad ^^ Funny ones

Autant pour moi ;-) Yeah, hope they'll do something in future versions. It's already soooo nice that all procedures seems to be realistic, why should we ask for more ?!( lol I know, I'm the first to do so... )

Ok sorry ;-) I'm French and my English is somewhat limited

Don't know why it's such a big deal... Conex ( Dreamfoil Creation ) did a really nice job in his ultra realistic recreation of teh Bell 206 Jet Ranger III for X-Plane where your throttle ( http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k112/solon_2006/collective.jpg ) axis control the whole range against that idle stop... that you can pass over by clicking on that button, or assign a joystick input button to do that. That is very reliable and natural, and you really feel like you start a Bell 206 ( you have your both hands on the collective for start up, one for pushing the Starter button, the other to twist the throttle grip from 0 to 5% ( then you can't go further back without pushing " idle rel. button " again Hoped just that for this one...

Does anybody know if the rotor in the game will be dynamic ? I mean, rotor tilting ( teetering ) from one side to another, completely freely ( and not immobile as I can see know ) and according to small wind/gusts on the parking ? Like every Bell semi-rigid, teetering rotor system actually do ?

100 % with you Cowboy dude ! ;-)

Ok ! Thanks for that info Rangi ! Sadly here in France, there is no way to see a real Huey... We only have two 212 in the south I believe ( Pompiers du Var ) for fire fighting ops. The only real one I saw was the one at Duxford, Imperial War Museum ( UK ) Vietnam Era ( I was totally amazed the first time I saw him in 2007... probably owned by the Fighter Collection, those who give infos to Belsimtek ? because same exhaust : http://www.flickr.com/photos/43005149@N03/4284796418/ )) Anyway, if I succeed in my military heli pilot career, I would love to have the opportunity to get a job in a 205 when retired ;-) what would be better in life here below ?...

Sorry, I hate this music but just watch the clip, I was shocked when I found that on a " Best of 2004 music " on youtube

Ok thanks, I'll try that

Oh yes sorry, oh did I forgot that ? 2009 Dell Inspiron 1545 ( Laptop ): Pentium Dual Core T4200 ( 2.0 Ghz ) 4GB Ram ATI Mobility Radeon 4300 Series ( 1780 Mb ) Windows 7 32 bit In other words, nothing to be proud of ..

Hello everyone, I recently purchased every DCS module, I was told someday that if I could run DCS Blackshark correctly, it could do it with A-10 and so on... I'm at minimum setting and don't go over 12 FPS... Maybe you guys here have any tips, things to deactivate to get a playable sim, in order to wait my new NASA level powerful config :megalol: ? Thanks

Nice Algerad ;-)

Ok, just bought everything ! Thanks, but would have liked to also pre order the Huey, once the Credit card was still hot ;-)

Ok thanks guys ! Will see what I'll do

Hello, Maybe a silly question, but is there any way to buy EVERYTHING in one pack, with a great price ? I don't have the PC good enough now to do it now, but once I got one, hopefully this summer, I really hope to take everything ! I mean, P-51,BS2,FC3,Huey,Combined Arms,A-10C etc etc etc... I admit I'm a bit lost since I used Lockon, then FC1,FC2, an BS1, I'm now totally lost on how those modules are rigged together. My wishes are a single program to launch and have access to all current modules in the same software. Thanks for your helps, Valentin

Hey very nice setup ! Yeah of course I can't compare, but... on the BK117, it's actually a force trim release system, exactly like above. Yeah, there is no SAS over it, but that mechanical system is there, for real !

It sould have a conventional trim, with a hat switch on for direction to set another neutral position to the cyclic stick... Dunno how it works on the Huey, but on the BK117 it's a mechanical trim which directly change stick neutral position, to release constant forces for cruise flight
