How's the Huey?

[hassata]

In terms of feeling of flight, this the best Module or even sim I've experienced.

I've put around 16 hrs of flight time into the Huey so far and I tend to agree.

Anybody try flying through a railroad tunnel?

 

You've caught my attention. Where can I find one and just how big are they?

huey is very very cool indeed, but it needs some improvements especially It's cyclic sensitivity makes it very hard to control , trying hovering means suicide right now

 

 

Hey mate,

 

i have heavy difficulties too. Straight flight is going well but hover/ pickup and landings are a catastrophy.

 

S!

I've had the Huey for a few days now and I've been enjoying it very much. Granted, I haven't invested as much time into it as I would like, I maybe squeezed 3 flights daily into my routine, which means of course that I've only today managed to make my first proper landing without exploding or losing the main rotor and/or the entire tail section...

 

It's been a wild ride and I'm learning how much harder it is to fly a single rotor copter compared to (for instance) the Shark - the constant workload on the collective, cyclic and rudder makes it quite difficult for a novice like me.

 

But I'm getting the hang of it... I'll have to adjust those axes sensitivities to see if I can get this beast under a bit more control.

 

 

This thing definitely makes me want the 'restart mission' all the more, though... When I explode, I'd love that option in the 'quit' menu, instead of having to exit the sim and restarting the scenario all over again, waiting on the load screen and whatnot...

Though it isn't the same thing as mission restart, you can respawn by going to the Briefing window and hitting Fly.

In order to recover Huey in game:

1) select "PERMIT CRASH RCVR" in the settings (see att)

2) after crash with dead pilots:

RShirt+RCtrl+TAB

3) after crash w\o dead pilot:

LCtrl+E+E+E (for leave of Huey)

then

RShirt+RCtrl+TAB

@PilotMi8:

Thanks, that actually worked nicely, especially now that I have the cold start memorized.

 

It would be nice to have an option to reset the entire scenario/mission, though, without having to exit to DCS World and opening the mission again.

 

 

I've set my axes now, setting my Warthog joystick to +25 curvature (on both x and y) and my Saitek Pro Flight Combat pedals to +20.

 

This significantly helps the precision flying when hovering, which in turn helped me take the Huey into a nice smooth hover, fly away from the airport, circle around and nicely land in the original spot.

 

I must say that probably the only time I've had such a profound sense of accomplishment in a computer game, it was when I successfully took off and landed with the DCS P51 :)
