Cowboy10uk Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Well that's easy, I've have never turned on the game mode yet, and I have absolutely not ambition to do it now. Yes she's hard to fly, but the best way to learn is sim mode. Otherwise, I might as well stick flying helis in FSX. ;) No point buying a study sim, only to ignore the best feature. :) Cowboy10uk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Fighter pilots make movies, Attack pilots make history, Helicopter pilots make heros. :pilotfly: Corsair 570x Crystal Case, Intel 8700K O/clocked to 4.8ghz, 32GB Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3200 MHZ Ram, 2 x 1TB M2 drives, 2 x 4TB Hard Drives, Nvidia EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW, Maximus x Hero MB, H150i Cooler, 6 x Corsair LL120 RGB Fans And a bloody awful Pilot :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suchacz Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 What's the point of buying this super/duper/ultra realistic sim and then switch it to (whatever that means) game mode? :huh: 1 Per aspera ad astra!

Razor5-1 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 When I was young I would have used the game mode as I wouldn't have really understood the principles of helicopter flying. We all need to start somewhere. I voted for Sim mode too, but I feel there are many looking down their noses at the game mode, think of the bigger picture, Everybody is not the same skill/experience for sim mode right away.

shagrat Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I tried the "Game mode" to see the effect on the controls... not the "Game avionics", though! Anyway, after some quick tries I was back to sim mode, as said before, why learn bad habits and try to fix them later...:thumbup: Not that I can land the goddamn thing, yet!

Nubbit Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Sim mode of course, why buy a sim of this quality and game mode it? I know the game mode uses the same FM but after sim mode for a few days I tried about 3 minutes of game mode and hated it, all the bloody icons and labels everywhere.

Cedaway Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I've never flown in game mode. Even if the learning curve is steep, I think 'game' mode gives you bad habits very difficult to move when going to 'Sim' mode. So I prefer start directly in 'Sim' mode. Concerning the learning curve, it can be more 'comfortable' with good tutos and obviously better with interactive missions. As you did. That's great and it's a pleasure to learn and fly.

Grim_Smiles Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Sim mode. Rather not pick up bad habits with game mode, would make learning the sim even harder in my opinion. Verily there was much swearing in the kingdom in the beginning, but now only the occasional "OH S***!!!" can be heard through the land.

RglsPhoto Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 That depends on how long I have flied a sim before.If I never fly a sim before I would like choose the game mode first;while if I have flied another sim days.I may choose the sim mode.

Josher55 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 So.. As an avid simmer for years with FS, Xplane, Black shark and now the Huey of course I started it on sim mode.. Wanted the most realistic and so on, but the controls were so twitchy and far off from how a Huey flies. I'm using Pro Flight Trainer Evolution full cyclic and collective and have spent a lot of time trying to adjust the settings, the curves, the saturation etc. The truth is and I hate to burst anyone's bubble but in real life the Huey is quite possibly one of the easiest helicopters to fly. It's very heavy and very stable. Honestly, 200 hr pilots were flying these aircraft into combat in Vietnam. This game did an amazing job on nearly every aspect except the controls in a hover to me. Also, the over exaggerated settling with power effect. However, it could totally just be the way I can't seem to figure out the right combination of settings. So.. All that being said the "game mode" flight dynamics are quite a bit closer to the way the real Huey flies than the sim mode. So kudos to you that can land on a dime in sim mode, but if you are looking for as real as it gets as far as a real Huey flies than game mode is much closer. I'm currently flying a UH-1E Huey doing 137 work in California, have about 230 hours recently in the Huey, but the majority of my real helicopter time is in the Bell 206/Oh58.
