Copy Chinook's Bob over to the Huey

Title says it all.

No way. These assists are becoming too common.  The Apache has easy mode George, the Kiowa can fly with a keyboard, and Bob takes all the skill out of hovering.

Please leave the Huey alone.

Just because it’s an option, doesn’t mean you need to use it. Some people do. Nobody is forcing you to use a flight aid.

It's not exactly easy mode if I want to switch to a gunner position, but still give flight input.

And yeah, feel free to just not use features you don't like.

Sacrilege.    Hate this idea.    Keep the Huey as it should be.    Don't spoil such an iconic helicopter.    Keep it real as possible.

Happy landings,

Do you even know/understand how the AI works in either helicopter?

In the DCS Huey, right now, I can press a binding, and the dude in the left seat will fly the Huey straight and level until I press it again. I can press another binding and he will Orbit, press another binding and he will Attitude Hold. The downside to these modes is that you can't change anything with joystick inputs, when you set the mode, it's held at that until you disable it.

I hate to pop your precious realism bubble, but the lie you live isn't true. If you don't like it, don't use it.

The BOB feature in the Chinook allows the player to control the AI with simple joystick inputs, while the player is performing the duties of the Flight Engineer. Just like in real life, the Flight Engineer directs the pilot over the load, or during other 95-Aft duties.

The BOB AI is superior to the AI ALREADY INCLUDED in the Huey that you didn't even know existed.

OMG!  LOL!  You are right, I didn't even now this rubbish existed for the Huey.    DCS Huey pilots have gone down in my estimation, lol.

Well it's good that the rest of us are not concerned about what you think of the features already included, and we just want them improved and updated to the CH-47 level.

A military Huey is/was always flown by two pilots, so yes, by all means, the Huey absolutely needs and deserves a co-pilot AI like the newer helicopter models have. This is a must of a badly needed general overhaul.

id also like to see new cargo system copied over. where you can load up certain stuff into the helicopter itself and see the physical asset inside of the vehicle. Would hope to see actual quantity of infantry seated inside the back of  helicopters for immersion.

Once you taste Autopilots in CrossCountry Flights, you never want to go back
