  1. Well you know what they say, any landing you can walk away from is a good one ;)
  2. Try this: When about 100ft AGL, flare the helicopter without raising the collective, that will decrease the speed and the rate of descent. When you have about 30-20 knots airspeed, level out and slowly raise the collective until you touch the ground. When sliding forward on the ground, keep the collective up until it has stopped. Autorotations is hard to get the hand of and it is varying with different helicopters. But when you get the hang of it, you can practically do anything to get to your landingspot, you can go sideways, backwards, 360 turn etc. Just keep the rotor RPM in range and your landingspot in sight. :)
  3. When engine failure occurs in flight, the rotor RPM will decrease rapidly in the beginning. The best thing to do to increase the RPM is to flare. So, collective down, counteract with left rudder, flare the helicopter to get RPM. When that is done, you push forward to increase speed. After that you can level out in a good attitude and pick you spot for landing. :)
  4. Starting to get the hang of flying the Gazelle... Treat her like your girlfriend! But even then it can get catastrophic. :doh:
  5. Been a DCS-fan for a long time, but never really posted anything on the forums. So I thought it would be nice to share some screenshots the same day I upgraded my PC! DCS runs smoother than ever and with that, an enhanced experience! Hope you'll like them! :)
