My post is saying don't touch the throttle DURING start. As in if you are touching the starter button as well as fiddling with the throttle, you're wrong. The way I learned is set to idle before you press start. Then once temps and pressures are stabilized move to fly. But that's how I do it. Never had a flame. That's also how the computer does it for autostart if you watch. Maybe the book procedure is different

My post is saying exactly the same thing your post is. It's not muddying anything. I was reaffirming what you said.

You aren't supposed to be any "rolling" of the throttle at all during start. You set the throttle once and leave it. You are getting fire because it's too much fuel. Look at the throttle while you do this: press page up to give it full throttle, then page down to lower the throttle to the idle setting.( It will stop twisting) THEN press and hold the starter. Don't touch anything else, just the starter button. You should not get a fire

A door gunner without hard points is just called a crew chief ;) haha

Use force trim. Like constantly. And saturate the collective towards the beginning of the curve because that's when you need the most precise control.

Don't take the ride. Take the Huey

Oh, I've already made an inquiry. Though I decided to pass because I am not a fan of modifying my game. Once you start modifying, outside of developer's intended product, that opens the door to crashes, incompatibility issues, and other things that start to degrade gameplay.

So cool. All I want is to fly in a squad of like 2 or thee guys and do just this. Why is it so hard to find? Lol

A chinook can carry itself! Without blades, engines and transmission of course haha

Ok, maybe I'm weird but if I want to circle I just bank in the direction I want, and engage autopilot. It continues the orbit it that direction, at that bank angle. So if you are manually piloting a turn that is circling you perfectly around your target, you should already be good to go once AP is engaged. If you press l-control l-shift h, it shows you if the autopilot is in orbit or level mode. I think orbit is alt- a. Whenever I switch to gunners, autopilot auto engages in level or orbit mode.

This video gave me ants in my pants! Where the flip is our Vietnam Campaign!

Control helper? You mean like Force Trim?

Also, see if you can find a cover or just plain instrumental of Machine Gun. That may work

Now that was a legit BadAss mission! It unfolded like a movie. A I literally stopped eating for 10 minutes and was just watching with my mouth agape. The immersion factor was right there, the running troops, the look and feel. I enjoyed watching it.

Same thing in real life. When I first flew a Cessna 172 I was amazed at how much it was just bouncing around.
