Finally ... I come from flying helis in Battle Field (also some "RC-stuff") ... and thought it was time for a new challenge. So I invested in a new computer and downloaded the DCS platform + the Huey ... It did not take me long to realize, I had to forget EVERYTHING I thought I knew about flying a real Heli! Flying :pilotfly: and basic "weapons handling" :gun_smilie: was not a problem to learn by trial and error + some helpful YouTube videos ... It only took me about 50 hours to figure out how to fly "smooth", without the constant "wobbling", I had in the beginning :music_whistling: (basically caused by trying to fly this beauty the same way I used to fly the Helis in BF.) You should have seen my face, the first time I "over pushed" the collective and the rotor blades took off without me ... :huh: ... but there is so much to learn about "everything else"!!! Just started reading this "guide" and YES ... this seems to be written in a language that I can understand :thumbup: Even with +50 hours behind the sticks, I still feel like a total noob! This guide will be printed and read over and over again ... thank you for the effort you have put in to it! And if someone feels like "taking on" a rookie (40yo) ... just send me a PM :smilewink:

Starting to get the grips of how to fly the Huey and the basics on how to operate the wepaon system ... so I joined a "random" multiplayer game. I have no idea of how it works! Was having an awesome time, flying around with someone called "ben93" (both flying a Huey) ... He was a good pilot! All of the sudden we where both shot down by enemy ground troops. I don´t even know how to "chat" in multiplayer ... Please direct me to a good "tutorial" on how this works ... :)

Thanks for info about search function ... Regarding the "bindings" ... I was not aware that there where 3 "profiles" for the Huey ... I was making the changes on the wrong one.

Thanks ... I did not realize there was multiple choices. I was making changes to the wrong heli. Problem solved!

Hello ... My first post on this forum and I am feeling a bit "stupid". Been trying to use the search function, but either I do not understand how it works, or no one else ever had the same problem as I do. Have been using the default airplanes and started to get the hang of things (after realizing that this is nothing like what I am used to, coming from playing BF on the xbox360)... so I decided to buy the "Huey", as helis is "my thing". I just started learning to fly it with the "free flight" feature. Using the Logitech Extreme 3D PRO joystick, I am not able to figure out how to use the "slider" to control the "collective" ... and find myself stuck with using "Q" and "A" for this ... Am I missing something? Would appr any assistance ... :)
