Kowshik Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 1.During Lift Off why the left wheel of Mi-8/17 always goes up first than of right wheel??
msalama Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 Elementary helo physics, just compensate with your controls. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
Rick50 Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 Think the Hind does the same too. Not sure why, helis are... um, complicated!
VampireNZ Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 Tail rotor thrust used to counteract M/R torque and keep you straight is directed sideways, so you naturally need to counter the sideways drift with some opposite direction cyclic, which tilts the helicopter in that direction a little, hence not 'flat' at lift off or landing. Heavier you are the more torque you need to lift off = more tail rotor = more required cyclic 'tilt'. Right cyclic/pedal for Mi-8 and Gazelle, Left cyclic/pedal for Huey. Vampire
Rogue Trooper Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 Elementary helo physics, just compensate with your controls. Exactly this, pull the collective up until the wheels are light on the ground, compensate torque with the pedals. adjust cyclic to lift off wheels level depending on your load.... it is always different. the MI-8 is the best chopper in DCS bar none. We dream of the MI-24 being as good as this. 1 HP G2 Reverb (Needs upgrading), Windows 10 VR settings: IPD is 64.5mm, High image quality, G2 reset to 60Hz refresh rate. set to OpenXR, but Open XR tool kit disabled. DCS: Pixel Density 1.0, Forced IPD at 55 (perceived world size), DLSS setting is quality at 1.0. VR Driver system: I9-9900KS 5Ghz CPU. XI Hero motherboard and RTX 3090 graphics card, 64 gigs Ram, No OC... Everything needs upgrading in this system!. Vaicom user and what a superb freebie it is! Virpil Mongoose T50M3 base & Mongoose CM2 Grip (not set for dead stick), Virpil TCS collective with counterbalance kit (woof woof). Virpil Apache Grip (OMG). MFG pedals with damper upgrade. Total controls Apache MPDs set to virtual Reality height. Simshaker Jet Pro vibration seat.. Uses data from DCS not sound... goodbye VRS.
