Terrific video. Thank you for sharing it. It's often hard explaining to folk that the movements required are as fine as they are and if the setup has any kind of stiction, or a centre deadzone, it makes realistic / precise flying difficult.

I have tried changing this line but I keep getting a message that I don't have permission to change this file when I try and save it. How do I go about changing the permissions? I am Admin on my computer.

This is my last hope before giving up on the Huey until this issue has been resolved.

Works for me.

Use Notepad++ Run it in Admin Mode after install without DCS running change it and hit save. https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/

Does anyone have the old FM working on Steam? 

Tried the LUA edit but it doesn't seem to work. 

TIA

Mike.

 

Sorted, was a problem with my editing.

Will this break integrity check for multiplayer?

The new flight model for the Huey is really a turn-off.

No. It will work fine in multiplayer.

This is a great find, the Huey feels and flies a little more plausible with the old engine model - even if it evidently has some flaws, but it's better than the new one IMHO.

ED should make it a selectable option in "Special", so one doesn't always have to edit the FM file after an update.

Helicopter controls as a whole are extremely sensitive on pretty much every helicopter, including the huey.

This video is heavily misleading for DCS! In DCS we don't have any civilian light weight and fuel consumption optimized helicopter types! Civilian helicopter types are built very differently compared to military types. The payload for weapons alone is more than a ton in most cases, put the much larger fuel tanks, heavy duty engines and gears, armored cockpits and all the other mil-standard enhancements into account. Let's take 16 hellfires on an Apache for example, this is like having a team of 16 cheerleaders on board a relatively small machine. There is no way a military helicopter acts like he wanted to demonstrate in this video.
