Flying the Mi-8 is very easy with it. The Huey is a bit less convenient because of the amount of movement required (especially in pitch). I'm looking forward to testing how it will work in the upcoming helo modules. I might switch to a Komodo Simulations product at some point though...

RealDCSpilot Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) @Raven (Elysian Angel) Just found this topic and have some questions about the PUMA cyclic. For me it's still a bit unclear, is it self-centering or a friction based springless mechanism (move it off center and it stays there)? If the second is the case you should try the springless stick trim option for helicopters. The trim button has still to be mapped and used, because the implemented FCS functionality in the sim (force trim behaviour) will register it and apply it to the constantly calculated flight model. Very important for the Ka-50 for instance, because trimming tells the flight director's logic what your intentions are. In the Mi-8 with it's AP and the Huey with force trim only, you are also influencing the flight model with trim commands, but only in a much less sophisticated way. The correct procedure in all 3 of the good helicopter modules is always press and hold trim button when moving the cyclic, release when done.

You can adjust the tension based on your own preferences with simple tools. 1 Spoiler Ryzen 9 5900X | 64GB G.Skill TridentZ 3600 | Gigabyte RX6900XT | ASUS ROG Strix X570-E GAMING | Samsung 990Pro 2TB + 960Pro 1TB NMVe | HP Reverb G2 Pro Flight Trainer Puma | VIRPIL MT-50CM2+3 base / CM2 x2 grip with 200 mm S-curve extension + CM3 throttle + CP2/3 + FSSB R3L + VPC Rotor TCS Plus base with SharKa-50 grip mounted on Monstertech MFC-1 | TPR rudder pedals OpenXR | PD 1.0 | 100% render resolution | DCS "HIGH" preset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealDCSpilot Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) Thanks for the info. I'm also eyeballing the Komodo cyclic, which seems to work the same way and i like that they are selling single components instead of a whole set like the PUMA system.
