That's not what he is on about. Its not FOV you need to look at the Monitorsetup file and check out the topic regarding Dumbies guide to multi monitor set up. Don't mess with FOV until you have the monitors set up.

I can't help you there as everytime I try tinkering with those files I nerf the whole thing up so i stopped messing with them.

Have you set DCS to 1 screen in options don't set to 3 as it just messes it up. Make sure resolution is the same as you have your screens set to. The sides will appear to be slightly stretched you just have to get use to that.

Ditto. Infact its better than Ikea, Film you must be a cabinet maker or joiner/ carpenter in RL that looks sweet love it.

Then perhaps you should come and do a check ride with 1stCavDiv Instructor pilot who has over 2000 hrs in the Huey. As this is how its done by the instructor. Pull CP to gain 10ft hover check to set Torque PSI usually around 30psi in DCS slicks. Theres your base level you now only need plus or minus 5 psi for take off and landing. Flying a closed traffic pattern climb to 10ft hover check psi should be 30 psi now plus 5 on the psi nose down 10 degrees pushing through ETL is nice and smooth like this no sudden jumps no shakes or wobbles. Maintain nose down 10 degrees climbing to 1000ft level off drop CP by 5 psi and maintain 70knts. Begin closed traffic pattern and from the instructor don't touch the CP its set make your turn gentle 10 degrees and guess what no loss of altitude and no gain of altitude speed maintained at 70knts. On final drop CP by 5 psi for a nice even steady decent to the ground flare and land.

Opps my bad me and my big mouth lol no offence meant I'm sure it is a fantastic bit of kit and I do keep drooling over it an knudeging the misses but sadly I am only into my TMWH set up by 6 months and I fear a kicking if I change up so early. But heres my thinking if you could do me I direct copy of the tube you have there in 25mm tube in the same colour, obviously I will pay you, then slowly she will get used to seeing it and then I could get yours swap it when she is not around she will never notice the difference I hope.

Ha ha quality nearly fell off my chair have to remember that one. I don't understand why he has the track ir as well I though the Oculus was internal and head movement was built into it. The Ruskies don't like sharing links to their products do they I found a headset the other day which had track ir or their version built into the headset all in one.

Not a chance there would only be one weld look here http://www.komodosimulations.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=17&Itemid=17 They were able to get this made as one curve that's all I'm after just the main curve don't worry about where the stick connects I'll sort that out, as much as I like the stick in the link its just over priced in my opinion considering the TMWH stick and what you get for your money. Throw in the collective and I might consider it but that's another £450 plus vat to much money for a glorified joystick. Whartsell I wish I had access to a Huey so I could copy the curvature of the stick unfortunately there is only a few in the UK and I doubt I could get access to them for that. There must be someone over the pond that has access to a Huey and can stand a piece of cardboard next to the cyclic and trace round it to get the profile.

Whartsell can they make a curve the same as the Huey cyclic.

I run the 690 with 3 screens no problems for me nice and smooth no stuttering. Looking at the specs on Nvidia site and the Titan just seems a step backwards to me in performance but I am no pc guru so don't listen to me Skates ya man he knows what he is talking about.

The 570 won't run 3 screens it can only do 2. The 690 will run upto 4 I have 3 running on it in Nvidia surround works like a charm but the 690 is expensive cost me £900 and just to beef it up I kept the 570 in and SLI'd them together.

You can weapons need to be safe or off easy to do and open the doors to shout at the ground crew and they'll do it.

That's post 36 look at 31 and 32 to acertain the first mention of torque measured at the swashplates was not in my post my post 31 refers to torque applied not measured. For the record we have pilots in the 1stCavDiv now which have also proved they are pilots and all say that's the way to do it I have followed what they said which is in post 31 and I lose no altitude or speed when flying coordinated turns. Wokka I invited you to join us I see you haven't yet be nice to get another pilot on board especially one that disagrees with what the other pilots are saying for all I know you could be a chef and a part time pilot show me the proof and then I might listen to you I could say I work for NASA on here doesn't mean I do.

Nice Mac I might get that and give it a try. The one thing I find irritating about the Leap is its lack of ability to filter out background lighting unlike the Trackir camera it has sliders to adjust to filter out some lighting conditions but the Leap has no adjustment for that which makes it a bit lame really and poorly thought out because it has to sit on the desk which means it picks up overhead light sources switch those of and now it picks up the source from my screens. All I all it has potential but is lacking a bit in its claims and ability's which may improve over time.

Ok so what i'll do is take the TC 1-211 manual and throw it in the bin cause everything that's written there is obviously wrong and while am at it i'll contact the US army and suggest they to throw it away even though its been the manual that every pilot that has come through helicopter flight school in the army has had to read and all instructors use to asses candidates.

Hey Flyer hows it going from what I know as I have been keeping a close eye on Films work here which I have to say is of a very high standard no kyboshing lol. He usual makes a working model then sells the 3d printed parts and all bespoke parts need along with instructions very detailed in PDF with all the sizes on for you to get cut up. Just wish I had the space for the seat but I am defo interested in the collective. Also forgot to add very reasonably priced to.

Film that looks sweet I think I could be up for one of those just the collective that is not the seat I have no room for the seat as much as I would like it the misses is likely to whack me.

There is its under General Discussion tab look at the forum the forum is about the Huey and only the Huey so there does not need to be a specific UH1 discussion area, anything you want to discuss about the Huey falls under General Discussion tab. Anyone can join the difference between members and 1stCavDiv members is we are assigned to a group and members are not there are currently 3 groups USA, Europe, and Pacific Asia which is a bit thin on the ground and could do with more members.

Don't hang around come and join.

When you apply collective, a series of push pull tubes translate this movement to the main rotor blades through the swash plates. The pressure applied is called “torque”. Yes but it doesn't say TORQUE IS MEASURED BY THE SWASH PLATES does it. How does anyone think the movement of the Collective or Cyclic is transferred to the rotors/blades look at a schematic drawing of the controls for the Huey and you will clearly see push and pull rods traveling from the cyclic and collective along with the anti torque pedals that transfer the pilots inputs on the controls to the swash plates to move the rotor/blades/ anti torque rotor moved by anti torque pedals. Its a translation of movement not measurement that my post refers to no where in the post did I say that Torque was measured by the swash plates.

Try finding one from a big truck or 4 x 4 vehicle they are bigger than the standard car ones driveshaft gators are bigger or even a gear stick gator or shroud of a truck. Construction vehicles to have bigger gators for their bigger parts and even for round the levers of the controls for earth movers.

Ok show me in said post where the mention of torque measured at the swash plates please highlight. And while we are on the subject mister pilot why not explain in your words how to make a co-ordinated turn I don't see you posting up the answer to the OP yet you claim to be a helicopter pilot so how about it please enlighten me with your wisdom.

Some people need to learn to read especially me and Wokka in the above post pleas highlight exactly where it says that Torque is Measured by the Swash plates nowhere at all.

Film if you manage to do a grip mod for the TMWH stick you would've cracked the hard boiled egg as I call it. I looked into it but inside the stick grip I discovered a PCB with a chip which must be handling the inputs of buttons to the base and that's where it lost me I was thinking the Teensy 3.0 is small enough to fit in there but I have no idea if it would be able to interact with the base. I just want a Huey grip I hate the TMWH grip for the Huey its just to big and cumbersome sometimes. I'm also on the look out for a stick that is the same profile as the Huey stick your extension looks awesome but is there any way for you to maybe create parts in the guise of bends to replicate the profile of the curve of the sick shaft if that makes sense.

The swashplate consists of two main parts: a stationary swashplate and a rotating swashplate. The stationary (outer) swashplate is mounted on the main rotor mast and is connected to the cyclic and collective controls by a series of pushrods. It is able to tilt in all directions and move vertically. The rotating (inner) swashplate is mounted to the stationary swashplate by means of a bearing and is allowed to rotate with the main rotor mast. An anti-rotation link prevents the inner swash from rotating independently of the blades, which would apply torque to the actuators. The outer swashplate typically has an anti-rotation slider as well to prevent it from rotating. Both swashplates tilt up and down as one unit. The rotating swashplate is connected to the pitch horns by the pitch links. Alternative mechanics to the stationary (outer) swashplate are the hexapod and the universal joint. Swashplates for helicopters having two rotors mounted on the same shaft are much more complex than the single rotor helicopters. If the inner swash plate is turning in unison with the rotor mast then the force torque is applied to the inner swash plate is it not as it is attached to the mast. http://www.helicopterpage.com/html/terms.html
