toro 6 Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 In the Huey and MI-8 if you have enough altitude it is often possible to recover out of VRS by maneuvering out of the vortex. Once in VRS I have found it impossible to recover in the MI24. Being the heavy beast it is the 24 is obviously prone to VRS but I am unsure that ED has it modelled correctly??? thoughts??? Is anyone successfully recovering from VRS? If so what is your technique?
RealDCSpilot Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 Try to get your nose down to regain a bit of forward flight and quickly reduce collective for a short time to change rotor blade speeds. i9 13900K @5.5GHz, Z790 Gigabyte Aorus Master, RTX4090 Waterforce, 64 GB DDR5 @5600, PSVR2, Pico 4 Ultra, HOTAS & Rudder: all Virpil with Rhino FFB base made by VPforce, DCS: all modules
admiki Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 It's the same procedure as with Mi8, only difference being it's more loaded rotor system, so you need more altitude to recover. Problem is, there is no shaking and clattering with Mi24, so you are probably going to be unavare of VRS until it's fully developed. Scan instruments more than you would in Mi8.

Rabies Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 Personally I have not found the Mi24 to be so susceptible to VRS as the Mi8, and on those rare occasions, recovery has been straight forward. When you are slowing down and entering the realm of possible VRS, it’s imperative that you monitor your VSI. Eventually your intuition will be applying suitable power as you slow down.
monkie Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 Obviously the best recovery is to not enter VRS at all, however I believe he is asking what to do once VRS has developed. Sager Laptop, i7-6700k 4.00GHz, 16GB RAM, GTX 980M, 1920x1080, TIR 5, Windows 10
Hiob Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 The missing audio and visual clues are indeed a problem. Hope that is a high priority thing to add... I second that this is probably a cause for more problems to recover from VRS in the hind. I made it a habit tough to carefully watch the VSI in the Hip anyways - same applies to the Hind then. OP is probably right though, that the Mi-24 is more difficult in that. I find in general that the Mi-24 has less reserves in "on-the-edge" flight maneuvers than the Hip. Perhaps due to the smaller main rotor? 1 "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"
