Mt5_Roie Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Yeah...lost my rotors a couple times already too. She doesn't fly too well without them. Coder - Oculus Rift Guy - Court Jester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurofor Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Should be noted though that it can take quite a beating before they fall off. Some seriously crazy maneuvers. The rotor is not nearly as "fragile" as on the Ka-50. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotorhead Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Warning lights came on. I looked up and spotted a seemingly vital part drift away from me. :megalol: That's one of those "Oh s**t" moments... I'm pretty curious to see my first flight. I was seriously considering saving my 50 bucks and just downloading picture of the crashed Huey, because that's what I will be looking at most of the time. :) Just joking, can't wait. Soon now...

tusler Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 My very first attempt. (60% fuel - no external weapons - forgot trackir...) Without any axis tune (but this is nr1 on the to do list now :D ) :pilotfly::joystick::pilotfly: Great first flight... Sorce3r...

RagnarDa Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) First flight. No time to set up the controlls (including trim)! Edit: How do I embed???

Rotorhead Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 So, where to begin... Just went trough my first few flights, with expected (=shameful) results. At first, I found it nearly impossible to achieve something that could be called a hover. I somewhat managed to get into stable forward climb, but when I tried to land, I descended a little too steep and got caught into vortex ring -> BOOM. Oops, this thing is a lot less crash-resistant than my beloved shark. :) My second landing was "much better" though - that tail was already broken off before takeoff, really! ;) But hey, at least I could walk away from it. Last time I tried (after some 8 attempts), I finally landed it in one piece, but my hovering is still laughable. Guess I will be busy for some time now.

Ham Sandwich Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 First flight was a bust because i didin't realize that the throttle was bound to the second throttle of my TM warthog. Got an RPM warning as soon as i tried to add collective. So i quit, fixed the axis setup, then started a flight at Batumi and went to a destroyer i placed off shore and managed this on my first try: Very, very wobbly though, i think i'm going to have to play with the curves a little bit.

EchoMasterMind Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 My first flight ended with my rotor flying off my chopper after I bumped into the ground a little to hard and at a "less than good" angle ;) Other than that, I managed to take off, fly and land it a few times. It's not pretty, but it's working! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ophiuchus Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Third flight and I managed to land without braking anything off the chopper ;) Though not exactly where I wanted to land, well a lot of training ahead... By the way, I think I know how this guy felt: h :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboHog Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I was able to do almost anything after two hours in the KA-50. So I had a good reason to overrate my abilities. Man this is difficult :helpsmilie: I can't even hover properly. I use the trim settings from the instruction video's but the nose seems to dive into the ground on these settings. Think it's time for some pedals too. Twist handle is good enough for the KA-50 but it looks like a mess when flying the Huey. This is going to be a longer learning curve than I expected :music_whistling::) 'Frett' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave317 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Pedals are an absolute must for this heli. Every input with the collective or cyclic leads to moving the pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy10uk Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Wow she is one sensitive heli. I managed to lift her off the ground and got into kind of a hover, at least I wasn't jumping around too much ish. Lifted into forward flight and got kind of a finger of 8 roll going with the nose, got upto 2000, before deciding to land, dropped the collective too fast, nose dropped, rotor over revved and engine died. Remembered the autorotation video and got into a rough forward and level flight. 50 ft from ground collective upto far, stalled and put skids up through floor and embedded into the roof. Doc reckons I might walk again in 3 yrs. ;) All in all, a hell of a lot more difficult than I ever would have thought. I know what I'm gonna be practising for the next 3 yrs. oh and I have no idea how to get the trim to work, force trim switch on, and press the button where I want the cyclic to stay but, nothing seems to happen. Time to RTFM. Damn this was worth the wait, I absolutely love it.

arteedecco Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Erm... which pedals recommended btw?

doright Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Well the Huey didn't agressively try to kill me on the first flight. Think that is mainly due to watching Furia40's video's repeatedly. So major thanks to Furia40 on his excellent training videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to RTFM.Cowboy10uk Cowboy, if you display the position of the controls (took me a while to find again what shortcut that is: Rctrl-Enter), then you will see how the force trim work more easily. You put your cyclic in the position you want, then press the force-trim button and it offsets everything so that this position is now with your stick in neutral :joystick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
