Really? I don't like to use the keyboard. That is meh. But putting this beautiful bird into the hangar is meh^10. Airstart works in my mig. Aileronbooster sw hangs when I klick on it and flips with the second klick then. Thx Cobra. Fox

Yeah, totally overdone. They removed the dirt from the Sabre and put it on the Huey now. And partially on the Mi-8. That makes me a sad panda.... Fox

I can confirm this. Fox

Yes I have a Skylake CPU. i7-6700K. Not overclocked. My previous CPU was a i7-2600k oc @ 4.7GHz. There is only little difference in therms of performance in DCS between these cpus. And with DCSW 1.5 CPU performance became less important. As you have good fps already, I would not recommend upgrading only for DCS. Fox

What is your resolution? Everything maxed out in the settings? Always and everywhere 130fps? Fox

The communications server could be a feature/part of the upcoming dedicated server software... Fox

You´re right. That was too sloppy from my side. What I wanted to say is that if you compare modern torque measurement with the way it is done in the Huey, you´ll see how unnecessarily complicated the system in the Huey is. Just did a very quick test. Couldn´t see engine changes so far. What I saw was the dirt, that haunted the Sabre´s canopy glass, is now on the Huey´s canopy glass. Fox

The start up procedure is correctly simulated. Fox

It´s a three-way switch. Forward: light on and extend. Center: light off and no movement of the lights. Back: retract the lights. Currently the landing light itself is very very dim. But you can see the light cone on the ground. These switches control the position light, not the landing light. Fox

I can confirm this fix. Thanks a lot. Fox

Love your Murage 2000C. I'll name it so from now on. I guess its licensing issues with Dassault. Though I wonder if "Games" need such a license. Do e.g. Battlefield or CoD have licenses for all weapons and vehicles they use? I somehow hesitate to join the Murage Club. 3rd Aircraft with a promised EFM/PFM. Yet the others are still SFM for way too long. Fox

This Quote just says that composite blades provide benefits. Not that the DCS Huey is equipped with composite blades. The ingame visual shape of the DCS Huey´s blades ist the shape of the metal blades. No correction above 0°C. 20°C is a typo in the old flightmanual. No, don´t do that. What point of the skids would you take than? The skids have different heights themselves. The front part is higher than the back part of the skids. The left skid hangs lower than the right skid during hover. That really isn´t necessary. Back then when the Huey was constucted, they had no idea how to measure the torque. Today you have percentage as "unit" for the torque. PSI is just an equivalent to the torque. Xtrasensory´s link points into the right direction. The Huey has a device that puts out a psi value corresponding to the power input of the engine to ... ... the main gearbox. The main rotor or its shaft is not limiting here. It´s the MGB. I guess you meant lbs/ft ->without squared<- The SI Unit for torque is Nm Unfortunately the charts in the real flight manual don´t fit into the DCS Huey. Engine poweroutput, torque and EGT of the DCS Huey do not correspond to the real one. I´m hoping and waiting for DCSW 1.5 and 2.0. Perhaps the Huey gets an update then. I really hope so. Fox

When I get ... NTTR the first thing I am gonna do is: Take a HMMWV for a ride across Las Vegas.

Watched you track. You are simply not using enough collective pitch. The key command for collective increase is Num+ Fox

I was at Duxford all day on saturday. At first I couldn´t find your stand. when the airshow was finished, my friends and I realized that we missed one hangar. And there was the VEAO stand. Guys, thanks for the nice conversation with you. Very informative. It was fun to fly the Kittyhawk. This bird will get hangarspace on my PC for sure. Unfortunately the hangar guard "threw us out", so the time to talk with you was too short. Perhaps I´ll come to Duxfort again next year. Fox

This is not a German ->Army<- logo This logo is from the German ->Airforce<- For Army logos check Here: Army Aviation Regiment 30 Or: Army Aviation Regiment 10 These are the last two regiments flying the Huey and both are waiting for the NH90 to arrive in significant numbers.

Wenns Wetter passt, komm ich auch. War 2004 das letzte mal dort. Wird wieder Zeit. Fox

Sorry, but you are wrong. Of course the angle of incidence(and the resulting AoA) is set by swashplate tilt. But the amount of tilt of the swashplate is set by movement of the cyclic stick out of the mechanical neutral position. The stick travel is bigger in the corners ("y") thus the swashplate is tilted further, leading to bigger angle of incidence as it would when only moved with the amount of "g". As I said, some modern helicopters have a mechanical cyclic pitch limiter. You can not move the stick to the corners of a square. You can move the stick only e.g. in a octagonal shape. If it were the way you think it is, there would be no need for a mechanical limiter. Fox

Open the throttle completely Then roll back to idle stop. Check throttle is caught by the idle stop. Press idle stop-release and close the throttle. You´ve checked the throttle travel range and idle stop. Now open it again completely. Roll back to idle stop. Press idle stop-release and roll back the throttle a few millimeters, just below idle stop. Release the idle stop-release button. This way you can shut down the engine if the battery/gpu fails during or after start up. Now you can start the engine and it should stay within the limits unless something else is broken. If the GOV switch is set to EMER you only operate the throttle between full open and idle stop, but never below idle stop. Fox

As everything was said... but not from everyone, I´d like to add something. Flagrum, the cyclic-stick indeed has the movement range of a square "bk". The corners are not mechanically limited. Modern helicopters have e.g. a octagonal range where the corners are cut, like a "stop sign". I made a picture(yes with ms paint) to show the increased movement range when the stick is positioned in one corner "y". "g" is the normal movement range, and as long as you stay within the limits(slope!, "stick travel speed", g-load, RotorRPM, bank and pitch) you won´t bump the mast. Within the flight envelope you won´t have the need to move the cyclic stick to one corner. But if you move it to one corner you increase the travel range from "g" to "y" which is an increase by 41,4% of the normal travel range. This will cause mastbumping and finally separate the rotor. Fox

As promised, reporting back with the link to the more current release of the -10 manual Here in the forum. Credit goes to user Griffin. Fox

No sweat Charly. I guess you mean 15 feb 1988 I use the -10 released 15 feb 1988 with changes up to C19 from 31 dec 2002 The snippet I posted is not for the composite blades. It is for the metal blades. There is no correction value for composite blades. You can distinguish charts for metal blades from charts for composite blades by the chapter. Chapter 7 Performance with metal blades Chapter 7.1 Performance with composite blades I thought the BST Huey has composite blades, but I can´t find evidence for this claim. It was mentioned in several discussions, but I can´t find a source confirming this. So I will use the metal blade performance charts till I find evidence for composite blades. Actually the visual appearance of the rotorblades ingame is the shape of the metal blades. One explanation could be that you were so tired that you were playing with the collective, so that the torque indicator didn´t come to the lower values..... But I don´t think that this is what caused the wrong values. There are other indications that some parameters are off. This is an additional one. I really hope for improvements is DCSW2.0 You can grab the -10 from user Griffin here Fox

Well, then the simulation is off, if there is no difference between 2, 5, 10, 15, 25 and 50ft I didn´t check that yet. No, it doesn´t make sense if the required hover torque value changes in this case. The helicopter needs a certain power value to stay in a hover(constant r-rpm), so it doesn´t care if the engine produces more or less maximum power. I don´t understand why there is such a thing as "engine resource" in the first place. That´s you opinion. Or say its the operators´s choice. But Bell obviously provides values for 2ft, 5ft, 10ft etc... So each of these heights are acceptable power check heights. See above. You are using the metal blade chart(section 7) Charly. I thought the BST Huey has composite blades, but I can´t find a source that states we have CBs. Nevertheless, you are using an old version of this chart. The temperature at which you use the correction value is 0°C and lower, not 20°C. Was the wind set in your testing environment? Fox
