Kind of a dumbed down way of thinking about the cursor, imagine a mouse for the computer, as stated the cursor select just quickly moves it left or right between the screens and centers it, I find myself using it more often than not to just find the cursor

Agreed, it'll be interesting how that dynamic works.

yeah… practice

At least you got it to hit, I can’t say I have or tried yet. But soon now that I’m thinking of it

technique only lol

Typically we do

Or you can launch it like a terrible rocket third option

"don't make requests yet, there are plenty of us helping out" - not me lol I had too. Was talking with one of the advisors to ed when this occurring. It’s all in fun don’t take it seriously Real talk, there are a bunch of peeps who flew this platform especially during this period trying to make it as realistic as possible without breaching any boundaries but also giving a fun for the peeps who want to just have a good time.

I think I was just being informative, I don't need to read it <hint hint>, I'd suggest to wait for ED to official releases a manual because some of the things won't be for 1-1 if I were to dig into anything. I don't think I was disrespectful but if you took it I'm sorry. Either way, I'm probably gonna stop responding too you because you aren't taking the info well.

thanks for answering my question, you're not a helicopter pilot, i was curious. Regardless of your opinion far/aim disagrees with you.

In my mind I'm picturing you going page by page through the actual tm and it's just... impressive.

I'm just really impressed

Multi tasking so I apologize, yes there are more detailed things out there and we agree it’s the inner workings, of which can’t be accurately replicated without knowing the inner workings. Pending the system tho some of that stuff could potentially be in that manual which is why we said these things.

I thought y’all got them at the end of the basic flight course

Just because it was leaked doesn’t necessarily mean it’s unclass

Max tq is rotor droop

this all your opinion. not regulatory and the amount of rotor wash directly correlates to how heavy you are and surface conditions. what’s ironic about your statement is let’s say me which I can produce quite a bit of rotorwash it’s better if I move over sod 100ish feet and take off from there which will produce a slight breeze beyond 100ish feet away. When I taxi due to the reduced ground resistance of concrete I find my self dumping collective to essentially coast next (if I’m going slightly up hill or heavy I can’t, I have to keep my taxi tq set) to small aircraft. Because I’m typically forced to come in closer proximity of other aircraft so my taxi power combined with the less surface resistance is more windy to the small plane peeps and personnel than me hovering at 5 feet in grass away. rocks and fod really, travel more freely over concrete and asphalt. It’s likely different in a much larger rotor wing aircraft but I don’t fly the big boys. the type of take off and landing is all about situation, I’m cool with taking the runway, but if there’s other traffic or it’s congested and I have the power, I’m going to avoid the flow of fixed wing traffic, avoid overflight of things that could be damaged at a low level and remain clear. again this is in the subject of a game so people can honestly do whatever the hell they’d like, but all I was saying was correcting your very broad over arching assumption that rotary are supposed land on hard surface areas (which is indeed better for power) (if there is fod like rocks they’re gonna travel farther) (rotor wash effects are gonna travel farther) in my opinion and I don’t know if your faa or not but far aim helicopter traffic is to avoid the flow of traffic so if you’re doing the same procedures are you going with the flow traffic? I think icao states the same but I’m not looking it up. situation dependent at the end of the day. How heavy am I, what’s around, what are the surface conditions, what’s the hazards (both to others and myself), how much power do I have. Again I don’t care what you do, but it’s opinion. Just like mine is. And people can do what they’d like. Real life as long as you’re safe if you’re a pilot.

@CrazyGman also remember you're talking about a very niche group (who were in the specific units during the specific timeframe) of people simultaneously being in kind of a niche community here in DCS. Not saying it's not possible there's more but just keep that in mind that this isn't the whole world.

When I started down this journey of your comment I thought you were talking about real life, and I was thinking this dude is super crazy, and the wsps for the gazelle must be super amazing. Then I got to the end and I was like OOOOOO he's talking about DCS. Yeah if we can cut down wires in game I'm for it all day. Make that a wish list, bring back randomly cutting shit down

Isn’t it always summer in Australia

Curious George

I was just referencing your statement “supposed to take off from a runway” or a taxi way. I just was always taught that the benefit of the helicopter is it’s ability to avoid traffic and go where you intend. There’s nothing wrong with it, super conservative, but I wouldn’t say I agree on a day to day basis. Obviously if I were super heavy I’d want a runway or surface to do a rolling take off obviously if I had skids I’d be looking for different avenues. But I think your statement is a little broad. Idk my opinion.

Not much tarmac around farp locations

depending on who the copilot is maybe ai is more efficient
