Robski Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I've not seen much info on the 1.2.7 changes to the flight model (if any) to the Huey. I certainly think that it's way less violent in transitional changes, especially when slowing to land . Much easier to control when transitioning into a hover state. The VRS seems soooo much easier to control. Anyway Love it, and the AI gunners.... jeeez, simply awesome. Great work Devs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The VRS seems soooo much easier to control. And here I was thinking I'd just gotten better. :D One thing that was definitely tuned down was ETL vibration, though I'm not sure whether that was done in 1.2.6 or 1.2.7. As for the other aspects, I don't know if anything was changed (but I hope it wasn't because then it would seem as if both of us have actually improved our handling of the Huey) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSPALLASVI Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Found the FM "suspiciously" easy too in this new version (v1.27). Know for sure that I haven't changed anything; as in changed method / flying behaviour of how I fly the Huey. Only(!) change has been the upgrade from v1.26 to v1.27. Would definitely not call it coincidence that I can suddenly fly "better"... especially when others notice the same 'change' in the flight model...

Metal Hawk Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 From the 1.2.7 change log: Fixed flight model bug causing erroneous “warping” in translational lift Yours (and mine) flight abilities are the same as they used to be I am afraid. The flight model was wrong making it unnecessary hard. Nothing was toned down to make it easier for us. It was just corrected to match real Huey's behavior as much as possible in the digital world.

ARM505 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 One thing I've thought I've noticed is that it feels a little short on power compared to the previous version. Dunno, maybe it's just me, but I've found that power management is more critical - I'm over the green band of the EGT more readily, and have to watch pulling pitch too suddenly compared to before. Again, with these subtle changes, it's hard to tell if it's real or imagined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkie Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 The TL has been toned down quite a bit and while it's still there can be overcome with much less control input.

msalama Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 The VRS seems soooo much easier to control. But it's there nevertheless, and will still kill you if you get too careless.

Devrim Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Some bugs were fixed and (as said) it seems that the flight dynamics were touched and all the best now, in my opinion.

Reksi-Erkki Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 For me, landings went from "Steady now... watch the VVI... gently reduce the airspeed... FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU.... ck I'm dead." to "Steady now... watch the VVI... gently reduce the airspeed... FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU.... ck I'm good!" I often find myself gently bobbing around in ground effect after the FFFFFUUUU... part :) Don't know if it's realistic, but a lot more pleasant to fly than it used to be. 1 Dear Shilka.

newbie2k Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 To be honest, I don't feel any change on the FM.... it's the same for me as it was in 1.2.6. maybe someone can give details on what has been really changed. would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or God forbid, keyboard only... THIS PEDALS... are pretty much mandatory for a helicopter sim.. (Well at least if you want any chance of flying the thing decently anyway..) Also, after the pedals, I found the track IR to be the most important peripheral to obtain. Way too much going on to try using twist grip for anti torque and hat switches to look around... Utilizing those controls messes up the fine movements required to control the helicopter.. PEDALS TRACK IR... In that order and your chopper simming life will be transformed for the better!
