UH-60L Black Hawk Mod ("Official" Thread)

With SAS on (or trim, I can't remember which system, I haven't flown a Lima model since 2018), the Black Hawk has a heading hold function, which will automatically keep your heading within a few degrees until the trim release switches on the pedals are depressed. So you can (in theory) hover with you feet off the pedals. However, at least in my old unit, it was really rare. Most of us would just hold the trim release to hover, because we could hover better than the system could. The issue I'm having with it, is it doesn't ever seem to want to let go of the previous heading. If I do a slow pedal turn from a hover, then let off the pedals, it veers wildly back to the original heading from when I took off (or last time I clicked trim release on the cyclic). It behaves as if you were moving the pedals without putting your feet on the microswitches that are on the pedals. I don't know if it's a setting I'm missing, or a bad install, but if anyone else has had this issue, and been able to fix it, I'm all ears.

 

Thanks! I'll have to try it trim off and see how that feels. I was more thinking when I'm pulling up into a hover, in the last bit of your approach to a hover, or at the end of a quick stop there should be a lot more left pedal required. When I'm in forward flight or more or less steady power the trim/pedal response feels about right but I should be having to work the pedals more as I'm going into those high power settings. This is mostly based on flying the MH-60 but there shouldn't be much difference between the UH and MH in this regard.

 

I haven't run into the heading hold issue yet but I'll mess around with it a bit more.

Just tried this nice mod (with the Armed addon). Does sling loading work? I selected the "All cargos" menu, got the smoke, commanded "hook" but nothing happens. No rope. Then when I command "Unhook", it says "Cargo unhooked" though it had not hooked up any cargo to begin with.

Per the manual:

In the real UH-60L the pedal trim is controlled by pressure switches on the pedals. In order to simplify this for DCS, pedal trim is also controlled by the Trim Release switch when pedal trim is enabled.

So, for the moment, press trim release to activate the microswitches.  Hopefully at some point they'll add a button/keybind like in the Mi-24 to operate the microswitches separately from the trim release.
