jozeff Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) Hello flight friends, Having an amazing time flying the huey in VR! Im still trying to takeoff properly but would really love to try some simple missions. I see a lot of missions but these are too complex for me at the moment. Does anyone have some simple missions for me to try. For example hovering or takeoff and land? That would be awesome! Edit: I mean Rookie....I'm dutch so rooky looked pretty good Thank you Jozeff Edited April 20, 2017 by jozeff
FragBum Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) For the time being just learn to fly the Huey, I spent (spend) many hours in the instant action free flight. Controls are important I have a Logitech 3d pro for cyclic and collective and Saitek combat pro umm toque pedals and find the Huey to be absolutely fun to fly, I also enjoy the Gazelle both great in VR.

=Pedro= Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Read the manual as it was a Bible and practice on and on, then repeat the process all over again. After few weeks you will master it. Learn navigation in first place then mil systems. Fly from one beacon to another, practice takeoffs and landings and read the manual again. Set the curves for your axis and deadzones if needed.

jozeff Posted April 20, 2017 Author Posted April 20, 2017 Ok thanks! I have the thrustmaster warthog , throttle and 17.5 cm extension and high quality pedals so Im prerty well prepared. I use dcs 1.5 and NevadA. Have read the manual some other guy wrote which is great. Should i read the official manual? So your advice is to wait wirh missions and practice first right? Tnx for the tips!
FragBum Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Yes read and understand the official manual, it will tell you abut load outs, centre of gravity and other effects on your chosen aircraft as well as engine management.

Knock-Knock Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Ill just sneak in here, cause Im in the same boat, or should I say chopper :). Purchased the Huey on saturday, and enjoying it very much. Only had a few hours Ka-50 heli experience, but with the sales, I just had to get the Huey. Not regretting it. Im in VR too, and its just another level on top in the Huey, compared to the Ka-50, with the visibility being so good in Huey. Problem for me still, is coming in for landing, oh dear. Thats where the big challenge is for me. I come down alright, but its like a tired old drunk piano :). VRS catches me of guard every time still. But its getting better by the hour - have logged maybe 4-5 hours so far, and will log many more before Ill try my luck with missions. If I cant land smoothly on a dime, then Im not ready yet. Or transition into a hover, exactly where I want it to. But just doing that, chopping around the airfields, trough the city's and mountains at low level, pick a given spot, and try and land there, or hover there, is still a blast, despite the frustration of taming this nervous horse. Im slowly but surely falling in love with the Huey. Its just so pure, so intuitive (mostly), so fun. And jumping back into the KA-50, it suddenly feels like a truck in slow motion. - Jack of many DCS modules, master of none. - Personal wishlist: F-15A, F-4S Phantom II, JAS 39A Gripen, SAAB 35 Draken, F-104 Starfighter, Panavia Tornado IDS. | Windows 11 | i5-12400 | 64Gb DDR4 | RTX 3080 | 2x M.2 | 27" 1440p | Rift CV1 | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS | MFG Crosswind pedals |
FragBum Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Transitioning from ETL to hover is a tad rough in the Huey. But just feel for the changes in direction and loss of lift. Initially just maintain height until you have lost speed and transition into a hover then land. I'm inclined to think that most VRS is actually just coming in to quick and running out of power. One trick from actual Huey pilots is as you are coming in to land is to select your target lading area and sit that on the dash (top of the instrument panel) this forces you to bring the nose up and decelerate. I suggest the Huey isn't the one that needs taming it's the pilot. :music_whistling: I find the Huey and the Gazelle to be fairly visceral to fly I also recommend you get a feel hmm for the sound the engine and rotor makes as the sound tells you just bout everything that's going on.

Home Fries Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 For new guys, I say practice hovering. It's the foundation of helicopter flight and is the second hardest thing to do in the Huey. Once you get hover down, you can transition to forward flight, then focus on the hardest part of helo flying: transition from level flight to hover. A rule I like to use for transition to hover in the Huey (this isn't official, just a technique I came up with) is 60-40-20. When you drop to 60 kts, think about pulling pitch (the collective, not the cyclic). You start thinking at 60, because deceleration happens so fast that you want to start gradually pulling pitch at 40kts. If you haven't pulled pitch by 20kts, you're more likely to enter into VRS, so make sure you've arrested your descent rate by then. 60-40-20. Think, act, check/react. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide
