No, actually it's a flaw in the FM. "In the real thing the right pedal is pressed in about 1.5 - 2 inches at speeds of 80 – 90 knots, whereas in our model the pedals are almost neutral." - How I flew a Huey in Arizona by PilotMi8

As I just said in the bugs and problems thread about the wrong torque/speed relation: there is nothing wrong with power.

Nothing wrong with engine power. The problem could be simplified to a drag problem. Less drag will increase speed at the given calibrated torque. But I can imagine the AFM works much more complex than that.

So the cruise chart from post 4 should be more or less accurate... In that case the relation between torque and speed is not. (almost 25% off in some cases considering torque setting.) Oh actually, the cruise and torque calibration charts that I've used come from the 15th feb 1988 manual so they should provide correct info.

See my little experiment from post # 4 The relation between speed, torque and EGT does not seem to be correct. The fact that our Huey has composite blades (citation needed) does not explain the significant difference. In fact it should perform even better with 'lighter' blades.

I'm F5-ing this one!

Which is 'R' from reset on the keyboard.

Uploaded wrong version in the hurry! This is the half-way done fix... ---- Give this one a shot (see OP). if it still doesn't work I will take some more time to fix it properly.

I can't wait for game mode! OMAGAD! :D

I will look into it when I have the time... -------------EDIT My god! They changed some numbering in R-828.lua r_828_channel[0] = 30000000.0 became r_828_channel[1] = 30000000.0 So basicly instead of numbering from 0 - 9 the channels are now numbered 1-10 (which corresponds with the actual selector switch!) This issue was already fixed by ProfessorRider, who manages the Russian version of my mod. I failed to notice this change however :P See first post for V1.5. I haven't tested it myself because I don't have the ka-50 installed atm (Huey and Mi-8 keep me busy these days). Please report!

Where is EDGE when you need it? :) I think that will greatly improve this aspect of ground texture tiles! In the meanwhile I really hope that I can enjoy this new set of textures that you're working on!

in saved games\DCS\input delete joystick.lua and keyboard.lua re-assign stuff afterwards. This is because features are added with new keybinds. It breaks compatibility with older versions.

Great!. It looks a bit plain though. Maybe add some more details (rocks, fences, etc) to it. Or would it quickly become annoying to fly over the same rock every 5 minutes? I like this over your other terrain mod. I find it very annoying to see houses near the top of a mountain as it replaced all grassland...

They already did. Try this with HDG channel engaged: - Turn without pedal input. You can see on the AP monitor that the autopilot is trying to maintain your original heading. - Turn with a only the smallest rudder defelction and the HDG autopilot channel will do nothing. However, center the pedals and it will try to maintain heading again. So you'd better completely center the pedals after the turn is complete.

Keep in mind that although the Huey is sold as if it is a final product (it's on sales and stuff like that), it is certainly not. It's an open beta and there are a lot of things WIP, including some new features such as AI doorgunners.

And composite blades are responsible for this significant increase in torque requirements? I can imagine the opposite is true.

That may be, but Indicated torque/calibrated torque vs speed is still far from accurate.

Info is based on the official UH-1H Huey manual from 15th of february 1988. Are you sure these pilots are talking about version 1.2.6? Clearly cruise speeds and power settings do not match the cruise charts now (Not even within 20% as for torque settings).

Yet something feels not quite right after some research. FAT +15C, Sea level pressure altitude, 7500lbs (slick, 45% fuel), engine RPM 6400. From the cruise chart: V = 110 kts IAS roof indicated @ calibrated torque required = 32 PSI. Correction factor is +1.1 so my indicated torque should be about 31 PSI. Let's how accurate the BST Huey really is: V = 95 kts IAS @ indicated torque 31PSI V = 110 kts IAS @ indicated torque 40PSI, EGT above 30 min maximum, heavy shaking while symptons of retreating blade stall are supposed to kick in around Vne, which is 125 kts IAS roof indicated under these conditions. I can safely say that the cruise characteristics are way off under these conditions and most likely under other conditions as well. The current flight model should not be allowed to make it to the final product. Off course this could be part of the beta WIP status. I hope my efforts to improve this product are appreciated... edit: In the cruise chart, the fifth line from the right is for 7500lbs.

Yea thought so. I'm using facetracknoir which is recognized as TrackIR input so it's essentially the same except for how movement of my head is determined. I have no such troubles...

When I got the Huey I tried to fly it without pedals - very difficult. Within the first week I bought a set of pedals and now I consider flying both easy. That is after hours and hours of practise of course!

They did add a proper neck recently. Now your head is not moving as if it is twisting around on a pole but you actually look over your shoulder! Maybe this is what you experienced (as well).

It's the new idle stop range that is half-way implemented. The physical part of the collective is working properly (with the lock button that allows throttle to move from idle to stop). However, the engines do not respond accordingly. This is not a bug it's WIP.

No. See my post above yours. T/R is fine for hearing the sound but you want to select Homing for the CDI to come alive.

Use the AN/ARC-131 VHF FM radio and set it to 'homing' Use the ID-1347/ARN 82 Course deviation indicator (right below HSI) to navigate to the beacon. See this video that someone made:
