W1ndy Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I don't believe it would be that unstable. So much effort to just land seems unlikely. Fingers crossed that it's looked at otherwise its a waste of money in my case. Too boring just trying to manage the thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paganus Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 You just need more seat time. Once you master it you will have a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bilbosmeggins Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I definitely wouldn't describe the landings as boring. It's real edge of the seat stuff when I come slewing in sideways screaming for my daddy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IonicRipper Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 It definitely wasn't easy at first but having some previous experience with the Black Shark did help. You need a minimum of 10 hours to really get use to the Huey. I would suggest you give it a little more time before you completely give up. It most likely won't be any easier once the full version is out. i5 4590 @ 3.77GHz | GTX 1060 6GB | 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 | 1TB HDD+500GB HDD | Win10 Home X64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudester22 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 So is this how it would really be to land the Huey? If it is why with all the technology they have would they make it so hard to land? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrsteensen Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 So is this how it would really be to land the Huey? If it is why with all the technology they have would they make it so hard to land? Yes. They didn't have all that technology back then. Autopilots were virtually unheard of in helicopters.

jay43 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Quitter come on it is by no means boring this Huey is the most fun I have had in a long time it is by all accounts back to brass tacks no electronic gizmos to help you fly it or land it. Fixed wing aircraft are childs play compared to the Huey. And if anyone thinks its wrong or over done just go over to you tube and check out real footage of Hueys landing even look at the Hueys in the beginning of the first Predator movie look at how they twist and turn and wobble around whilst trying to get into hover.

What technology??? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

WildBillKelsoe Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I like the flight model of release. Don't change it!!! AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

2GvSAP_Mohawk Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I can't land either, but the challenge keeps bringing me back. I have done it once, and that gives me hope I will do it again. Either way, it is so much fun trying to control this beast, more so than any button pushing I have done in the A10C. Dell XPS 7100 = AMD 1075T Phenom II (6 cores @ 3.0ghz). 6 GB DDR3 RAM.

aussieboy Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Back then a helicopter was one of the hardest machines known to man to control so landing just wouldn't have be an easy thing to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed that it's looked at otherwise its a waste of money in my case. Too boring just trying to manage the thing. This is what happens with real world flight with out proper controls. You have a cheap joy stick and no rudder pedals. So it's not going to be easy to fly at all. Add real world controls then you will find flight is much easier.

This is a simulator if you want easy play BF3 or Arma 3 Well I have a FF2 and pedals and they weren't cheap. Also I dont play BF3 or Arma. I enjoy the seat of the pants feel. I really enjoy it - but almost all my time and energy goes into landing it without breaking it. I just don't believe that the real chopper had that rate of destruction. I appreciate the positive comments though and I'm not accustomed to complaining on forums, it just seems to me to be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaelu Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 This is what motivates me: 6AOpomu9V6Q I consider the translations from moving to hover in or close to ground effect just bugged (I really dislike the visual vibrations that seems overdone)... so maybe later a fix/tune will be pushed with an update. I am no pilot whatsoever but that VVI is going up and down like one from a glider in clouds when coming to land and seems inertia it's a bit... low? But I may be horribly wrong. Also I can't stop it completely from flying like a fish... you know... wobbling its tail... I trim it... I have FFB... I let it be just to calm it self but... still kicking that tail. And it's flying hands free no problem... but like a fish :D. Maybe when I reach 10 hours it will be better... will see.

I played splinter cell chaos theory for about 6 years and was still learning stuff up until the end in multiplayer and all the glitches and everyone had a good time. You don't have to learn anything you don't want to just enjoy your life. Theres a game for everyone. I just prefer being inside a woman while flying a huey helicopter!
