Fix the UH-1H's collective.


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Many people in DCS say how the UH-1H is the closest sim to the real helicopter. The Huey is a module I regularly use and enjoy. With the recent release of the reworked F-5, the UH-1H also needs a rework. The one thing that bugs me the most is how the collective has a major influence on the huey's pitch in relation to the fuselage. How the collective works in real helicopters is that it controls the increase of all the main rotor blades pitch and allows the helicopter to climb or descent vertically. It does not control the pitch of the fuselage. The cyclic controls the fuselage pitch through forward, aft and side to side movement. In DSC, the player should only need to use collective inputs to increase or decrease height above the ground in a hover or in flight while the cyclic inputs will control the helicopter's pitch and roll. I made a 3:39 video flying around Tbilisi using only the collective and tail rotor inputs. For takeoff and landing is the only time cyclic inputs are used.
