StandingCow Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Thought it was interesting and good feedback for BST. Some things like needle splitting during certain collective drops seem to be either broken or not properly simulated (he wasn't sure if it used to split as expected). 1 5900X - 32 GB 3600 RAM - 1080TI My Twitch Channel ~Moo
Aviators Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 great! L'importante non è stabilire se uno ha paura o meno, è saper convivere con la propria paura e non farsi condizionare dalla stessa. Ecco, il coraggio è questo, altrimenti non è più coraggio ma incoscienza.

smallberries Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 Yeah, what a treat. For a non-pilot, this opens up a lot of understanding and appreciation, and hope the model will get even tighter.
BaD CrC Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 I hope we could have this kind of evaluation for every chopper module. It's pretty rare to have a real military pilot that is also versed in the flight simulation. It's very often one OR the other. Excellent video and test. A reference. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden
hansangb Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 And I didn't read his bio. So I was thinking to myself, "hey, this guys is pretty good with DCS" LOL 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
Yurgon Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 That's really cool! I don't entirely understand his scoring system (some items he says are very realistic score 1 point, other items he says are not realistic at all score 1 point as well), but aside from that it was a very, very well made video which I enjoyed a lot. :thumbup:
BaD CrC Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 There are indeed 2 things that should really be looked at by BST, the absence of needle split when chopping off the throttle and the lack of constant torque requirement no matter the hover IGE or OGE. Everything else looks pretty good. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden
VampireNZ Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 Also the ability to remove pilot door for sling ops would be nice. Vampire

Okay, that makes sense now. I guess if the video just showed "1/1 points" or "1/3" points, it would have been a bit clearer for those like me who watch the video without checking his documentation. Anyway, I don't really care about any scores. Just watching him test the chopper already made me learn quite a few things I didn't know before. :thumbup:

But I enjoyed it a lot.

OnlyforDCS Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) Quick question. Is he a RL Huey pilot? He doesn't ever come out and say so, but from some of his comments Im not sure he ever flew the real life version of the Huey we have modelled in DCS.

Bearfoot Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 Great review! The guy's name is Joe Hudson. You can find a link to many of his review here: https://www.helisimmer.com/author/joe-hudson/ . He has got a written review of the DCS Huey here: https://www.helisimmer.com/reviews/review-belsimtec-uh-1h-for-dcs/ . In the written review, he states: In the interest of full disclosure, I’ve never flown the UH-1H. But, up until about 10 years ago, the U.S. Army did all of its preliminary instrument flight training in UH-1 simulators. I went though U.S. Army flight training about 12 years ago, so I was among the Last of my generation of Army Pilots to “enjoy” IFR training in the Huey simulators before they were phased out. This didn’t give me a completely accurate knowledge of the flight characteristics, but it did give me a good idea of the aircraft systems. Seems like a really experienced, sharp, and all-round nice guy who not only knows his stuff really well, but also loves it and is great at communicating it! I think we should invite him to join the DCS forums! 1

cauldron Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 These two review videos got me back into flying the Huey!!! :joystick: Hope they fix the rpm split soon.
TripRodriguez Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 A while back I believe we heard the overheat condition modeling was in progress. Hopefully the RPM split will be made a priority too. Keep the UH-1 love coming! Favorite module hands down. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Demo of my 6DOF Motion VR Sim:
NeilWillis Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 It is the most objective review I have ever seen of a sim module. It appears unbiased, and comes from a guy with far more experience of real world helicopters than the majority of us. Excellent work.
Weta43 Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 Shame he didn't do the Mi-8 I think they built on the experience with the Huey & that it's the better module... Cheers.
