YEAHHh!

[Esac_mirmidon]

Finally ¡¡¡¡¡

[Vitormouraa]

Oh man I was waiting for this for a long time. Finally! Very important update. I think it will reset all my previous experiences with the module :) Looking forward to it!

 

Love turbine engines and this update excites me quite a lot lol

[gospadin]

Everyone accustomed to cruising around at 115 knots is in for a huge surprise.

[Robert31178]

I am so stoked about this lol.....so sick of the guys who rarely fly Huey in my unit hopping in one and flying at 115kts /50% torque with no consequences.

[FragBum]

Nice it won't be an issue if your already used to managing the Gazelle engine. :)

Not true at all. The EGT limitations of the Huey are very easy to exceed as it's currently modeled. The Gazelle is quite easy to keep within limits.

[QuiGon]

Finally! That will make flying the Huey a new experience.

So....how are we going to takeoff/hover in a clean Huey without overheating engines? Just cruising at 90kts puts me on the yellow line. T/O and hover puts me at 700-750. This is with a clean Huey loaded with nothing but two pilots and fuel. 26C, sea level.

[Esac_mirmidon]

Unloading fuel.

 

Just manage your takeoff weight relative to your mission and flight distance. You dont need 100% fuel always.

We seem to have very different ideas about what a 'clean Huey' is then.

[Chic]

Yah, I've been eagerly awaiting this and had all but given up on it.

BUT, we need to careful what we wish for. We'll see.

 

 

That said, I'M GRATEFUL TO THE DEVS FOR THEIR CONTINUED ATTENTION TO THE HUEY.

Clean = no cargo, no weapons, no hardpoints. I'm pretty sure that's the standard definition.

so they must have changed these values as well?

[Esac_mirmidon]

Also the standard temperature is 15°, not 26°

[Vitormouraa]

Flight characteristics will change quite a bit, in fact, Huey will fly a bit different, extra care will be necessary in order to not overheat the engine. But don't worry, as long as you follow this chart and don't exceed the maximum takeoff power, you'll be fine. Keep in mind that you may go all the way up to 625°C without any problem, if necessary during the takeoff, once the transition of flight is complete, no reason to overheat the engine.

 

Sling loading will be interesting :D can't wait to try it out! very excited!

 

[msalama]

Engine EGT limits were implemented

 

Fine tuning of the engine and hover modelling was done, discrepancy with real chart now not exceeding 2.7%

 

Thank you. The best news of the year so far. Time to wipe the cobwebs off the Huey when Nevada gets patched :thumbup:

[Vitormouraa]

Awesome!!!

[Holbeach]

Mt Elbrus rescue should be interesting.

 

Can't wait.

..

[Cowboy10uk]

Ahhhhh smeg, does this mean I have to learn to fly the Huey correctly now. ;)

 

All joking apart, fantastic update been waiting a long time for this, honestly I cannot wait.

So, what exactly happens now ingame if you exceed these limits?
