gachatar Posted June 24, 2024 Posted June 24, 2024 I played this campaign a few years ago, and remember that at some points engine power and fuel were pretty tight. Gunship Huey usually needed a rolling takeoff, and I remember a mission with an unexpected trip to a nearby island where I barely had enough fuel left. Since then a new flight model was introduced, which greatly increased engine power but also fuel consumption. Was this campaign ever rebalanced for the new flight model? Should I use the new or the old one for the best experience?

You couldn't even use the old FM if you wanted to. 1 1 Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord

I've found that many people aren't aware of this, so just spreading awareness. ED put an option in the Huey's FMOptions.lua to revert to the old flight model. And yes, it passes IC.

The old flight model has a weaker engine I think, so reverting with the missions recalibrated for the new one wouldn't be a good idea unless you like challenges Edited August 26, 2024 by Reflected 2 Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord

I shall try to get used to the new FM. I've been playing mission 1 with the old FM and it's been working, tho redlining is perhaps more of an issue. I have lit the engine on fire once LOL. Mostly tho I struggle with maintaining control in the winds when landing. In the new flight model I can barely take off let alone land. It irritates me and makes me feel like I've never (sim)flown a helo before.
LittleNose Posted October 25, 2024 Posted October 25, 2024 Artao, you're not alone, I'm not a fan of the new Huey model either. I suspect that there are many more that feel this way too, otherwise I doubt the option to use the old flight model would be there. Love the ambiance of this campaign
MAXsenna Posted October 25, 2024 Posted October 25, 2024 I flew the whole campaign with the updated one, and didn't encounter any issues at all. Q
