Throttle control on UH-1H Huey

[Diplocaulus]

I've got a noob flight control question about the UH-1H Huey and I'm posting here because I don't see a forum dedicated to this new product yet, but since it's regarding helicopters I thought I'd ask here first.

 

QUESTION: How important is throttle control to flying the UH-1H Huey? Is this something I will be using a lot, and should I map the throttle control to my joystick?

 

As a PC flight simmer, the helicopters I've flown in the past required just collective and cyclic control, and I always assumed throttle (RPM?) for helicopters was constant for most flying. Now I'm reading the manual for DCS World's UH-1H Huey and it's talking about throttle control as well. Is throttle management important to flying this sim? Or does one setting work well for most flying (with of course the exception being startup/shutdown).

 

My control system is pretty basic: a single Thrustmaster T-16000M Flight Stick.

 

Thanks.

I've never had to actually use the throttle during a mission, but I'm sure there are situations that require it - what if the governor fails?

 

The Huey has its own forum, under the Belsimtek area... the Mi-8MTV2 forum is there as well.
