Andrew u.k. Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I've been having fun with the huey again. I use an old sidewinder joystick and have reduced the force feedback down to 40%. I was wondering how much feedback - stiffness would a real huey have, does anyone know? Cheers Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansangb Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I flew a simulator once (in the Army). And it was not stiff at all. Another pilot (IRL) mentioned that you can fly it using a few fingers. So I'm guessing the simulator was true to life. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beazle Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 there is no feedback at all on a huey since theyere is hydraulics! it will really soft until you get an hydraulic failure which on a huey you dont want aha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eflemmen Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 turn off the force trim switch. i have a logitech g940 fbb setup and the stick is soft as a babys butt ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradox Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Yep, you either cannot feel the feedback forces at all or they're so strong that you can't move the cyclic whatsoever (at least in a controlled manner) in the event of a hydraulic failure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarHorsey Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Unlike larger helicopters like the -60 or -47 the UH-1H can be completely controlled with the hydraulics off/failed. Physically it's hard work and much easier in forward flight, but during maintenance flights the aircraft had to maintain a relatively stable hover with the hydraulics off to be considered serviceable. - Horsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
