Oh She's twitchy!

Managed to do it without damaging the plane.

 

Took me a few goes though!

Yep, did it without damaging the plane too.

 

I found a new challenge. :D

If you can land her on top of the highest point of a building crane you are my hero. I tried it for 30min but then my wrist started to hurt, the warthog isn't a great :joystick: for that.

It is nice to see most of the posted vids in Nevada... the only map for the chopper nut!

Could have to do with the fact that the SA342 is only available atm for 2.0.2 ... :o)

oh is it? I thought the campaign was 1.5 only. Ya learn something every day.

 

Following on from another post, a curve of 3 - 5 and saturation of around 95 really makes a big difference. I applied this to all inputs except collective and it is now much more controllable in the hover and through obstacles.

ya... Polychops made no compromise here, you either got the kit or its the curves.

[Rogue Trooper]

Yes very nice with the curves and saturation.

Kit is warthog with 10cm extension, running 75 fps at McCarren.

Yes, I didn't know either :D

I tried a few times but I don't think it can be done. I think the collision box is a point, not flat, so however well you land, you just fall off.

Does this count? I did that landing the evening the Gazelle was released :)

[Flamin_Squirrel]

Landing there isn't too bad; I think unknown was referring to the very top, in the top left of your screenshot. At least that's where I was trying for.

Sorry, this doesn't count because the collision box is to big and landing there is a little bit like cheating(see picture). :D

But Flamin_Squirrel is absolutely right, i'm referring to the "platform" to the top left of your screenshot. I tried it several times but was never able to land there, i always slid to one side.

Hello

 

Here are some advices that will prevent you to have more troubles with controls

 

1) DO NOT CHANGE Y saturation for pitch and roll axis if you use the same joystick for piloting the helicopter and the camera

2) Changing the Y saturation for the rudder will prevent you to use all the rudder power in some emergency cases

 

The best way is to use only curves

Good info! Thanks.

I got her for a couple of days now, and without trying to overly pad myself on the back, i had no problem getting her to do what i want from the get go. I must say that i spent a couple of hundred hours flying light helos in an aspiring combined arms game/sim that got an advaned flight model sometime after release and this taught me all the building blocks for properly controlling and countering the various forces when lifting off and landing in a light helo. I gotta say that i was quite relieved that this transition went so smoothly...boy, i thought i would have to spend hours and hours to get the tiniest thing right. Landings with that weird sliding like on ice is a bit off still, guess that will be fixed some day.

Its not twitchy it's responsive. ;)
