itye1970 Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Can someone advise a good mission for landing and hovering the Huey? Thanks

itye1970 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Posted November 2, 2015 thats great, ill try that. when i try to land the huey i keep sinking fast and then it crashes whats the best thing to do in this situation?
Cibit Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Keep your decent rate less than 5 m/s Valuable info here http://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=277 And here http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=150070 Manage expectations.

itye1970 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Posted November 2, 2015 excellent, ill check those out, many thanks
GurbY Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Important to know is that if you reach a forward speed (when coming to a stop) less than 40kts, a "vortex ring" can pull you downwards. With a crash as a result. So, keep an eye on (all instruments, but in particular) the vertical speed ánd the airspeed indicator. When you approach the landing zone and you're about to slow down below that 40kts, gently pull up the collective to eliminate the possibility of a sudden drop.
itye1970 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Posted November 2, 2015 whats the best position for the cyclic during a hover and land, would it be to slightly raise the nose up?
tintifaxl Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 If you raise the nose (even slightly) during a hover, you'll go backwards. Windows 10 64bit, Intel i9-9900@5Ghz, 32 Gig RAM, MSI RTX 3080 TI, 2 TB SSD, 43" 2160p@1440p monitor.
IJammer Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Yup, I had a great deal of trouble with that transition/vortex thing with the Huey. As CiBit suggests keep your VSI between 0 and 5 m/s and be ready to haul up on the collective before you sink through the hole and crash. Watching the VSI is vital... I also found that a certain amount of forward speed and a circle into the landing area helps; it eases you through the transition spot with less pain until you have a handle on it and can then land from a hover. This to me though is what makes the Huey such a joy. :) Winged pilots eat your heart out :) Dave (IJammer)
itye1970 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Posted November 2, 2015 Really enjoying the Huey, its such a challenge. I have landed a few times but not consistently. I have a tendency to pull back on the cyclic when its sinking but I suppose this is the worst thing to do? Should I just keep the cyclic level ?
sniperwolfpk5 Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 In real life you feel the movements of heli but in sim you don't feel these movements. For hover I will advise to fix a point on ground and keep looking to that point. My 2nd option will be which I think is more effective is fly near a building and just look at the building you will be hover without knowing that you actually hover or same goes with any ground vehicle.

IJammer Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) I find that using the cyclic depends on the position of the Huey with relation to the landing spot... you certainly don't want to be pulling back on the cyclic to far as approach touch down unless you are using it to back your speed off, then level off or you will be taking the rear rotor off! It also depends if you are using any trim... some pilots seldom if ever use trim; I must admit I use it quite a lot... so my cyclic is almost in a center position when I land; unless I need to do a small correction to re-position over the landing spot. Really... it all comes down to 'feel' and practice, practice, practice :) As you get better at it and the 'feel' improves you can start to take liberties... :) Edited November 2, 2015 by IJammer
Scarecrow Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Good video on hovering the huey And Belsimteks own video on landing
hannibal Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 long shaft controller helps.. ALOT with control.. find me on steam! username: Hannibal_A101A http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197969447179
IJammer Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 long shaft controller helps.. ALOT with control..Very true... I have a 10cm ext tube on my HOTAS Warthog stick. You can also play with curves in the controller settings to shallow out the stick reaction... although at the moment I don't use any.
itye1970 Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 managed to land it twice in a row last night, but still getting confused about how much collective to raise/lower on landing?

My 2nd option will be which I think is more effective is fly near a building and just look at the building you will be hover without knowing that you actually hover or same goes with any ground vehicle. Since flying DCS I have badgered several different people who are pilots to come to take a flight and give me feedback. I had a gentleman who was a Huey pilot during Vietnam here once and he said that this is why most pilots cannot get the hang of flight sims readily. I would think that this has to be true.:pilotfly:
