    Good Idea... I didn't think of that, Heatblur is working on Pilot AI too. I won't change the poll but I would enjoy some joyrides in the front seat too... Donald

    I wish on the special menu for the F14 that there was the option to enable Human RIO as observer mode. That way a human can sit in the back seat while the pilot interacts with Jester. This would enable less experienced pilots to be in advanced missions and see the cool graphics without the learning curve at first. Anyone second the motion??? Donald Good idea? Terrible idea???

    The pendulum effect... once a helicopter has all that mass level under its rotor disk it tends to want to keep its fuselage under the rotor disk and takes work to get out and then back in. The DCS Huey seems more like it only models the difficulty of getting into a hover and no pendulum effect once established in the hover. I guess you never heard of dodosim but if you go to http://www.hovercontrol.com you will find their forum. They do extensive work in commercial flight sim and their flight model for the Bell 206 has been widely regarded as the gold standard in accuracy since it was released. It has been used extensively by real world student pilots and yes, it is accurate... Donald

    This thread mainly concerns the Huey but I could not find a forum for it. The Huey seems to model pendulum effect halfway. That is, once displaced from a hover it models the effect of wanting to stay displaced. However, once settled into a stable hover it should also tend to want to stay in a stable hover. My point of reference is the Dodosim 206 for FSX. It was the first addon for FSX to have an externally generated flight model which overcame almost all FSX limitations. FSX itself does not model pendulum effect or vector ring state at *all*, but the Dodosim Bell 206 *Does* both very well. The Bell 206 is a lighter heli with a lightweight rotor system, and it has much more tendency to want to stay hovering once established. The Huey with its heavy blade system should be even more stable in a hover **Once established**. Any opinions??? Donald
