Sounds like little Rob has sour grapes because people like the mods. I have actually seen an airspeed indicator like that in a real world UH1H. Talk about a flaming troll. Oh and little rob, if you want real world value just ask little man. I happen to fly helicopters for real so I personally haven't sucked anything out of anywhere. If anyone is doing sucking around here my friend, I would look at the guy who is arguing with everyone over things he knows nothing about, yes you little rob.
Can anyone spot the IAS in this huey? I know its a glass cockpit but the steam IAS gauge remains. I know its a bell 205 but in the real world gauges are often replaced especially since the lifespan of most helicopters is quite long and they will be rebuilt many times and many gauges will be replaced depending on the role of said helicopter. The entire argument is null and void. I did after all explain in my original post that I know it is not realistic to do what I did in the mod, but I also explained why I did it. Quite a few pilots in the multi-player environment were flying extremely fast and they were unaware that the safe operating speed was in fact much lower than they realized. The values on the IAS gauge are quite accurate because there is not a massive difference between the 205 and the UH1. Furthermore effects such a dissymmetry of lift is the true limiting factor in airspeed. As for the VSI, safe vertical speed depends on your forward speed. As long as you have clean air coming over the main rotor you are fine. It is much easier to slip into your own downwash (VRS) when you have lower speeds combined with high rates of descent. You can actually drop the huey at a very high rate -2000fpm or more if you have the forward speed to compensate. We do this all the time when we autorotate.
