Greetings,
I'm new to the DCS series. My previous flight sims were Falcon 4 (vanilla, Superpak, Allied Force and BMS), IL-2 Sturmovik, Pacific Figthers, IL-2 COD, B-17: Mighty Eighth, WWII fighters and DOS-based sims (Aces over Pacifc and Aces over Europe by EA, etc.)
I've never been a good virtual pilot especially when it comes to dogfights, mid-air refueling, formation flying and most importantly landing. I don't own a very good controller (currently using the Saitek ST290 Pro). However, I do plan on ordering the Saitek X-55 rhino, CH pro Pedals and TrackIR 5 in December.
1. Right now I want some tips on setting up my controls properly as the Huey bobs around the airfield when I'm in the cockpit. I can never hover (IGE) in one position for more than 10 seconds and I always land in a different place than the one I intended to land in (that is if I don't crash). I was watching a survival guide on youtube by ExcessiveHeadspace. I think that the flight model has been changed since that video was released hence I'd like to know what kind of curves should I use on my axes?
2. How do I change to hover out of ground effect from forward flying without getting into trouble?
