ddavid Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 First post so a Big Hi to All! I've been trying out the Huey for a couple of weeks and think it's really quite good (understatement!). Like any new helicopter (to me, at least) there's a lot to learn - coupled with this being my first inroad into DCS World - some might say a baptism of fire? Well, here's a short video on my first impressions of landing the Huey. It is definitely Not a tutorial - more a collection of thoughts. Hope you enjoy... https://vimeo.com/76439920 Any comments and suggestions welcome. Cheers - Dai. 8)
badger66 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) Ive flown in Hueys many times ..... and if a pilot had landed like that he woulda been told in the bar later what I thought of him ..... and excluded from all rounds . Having said that . I have the Huey module ..... and you make me look awful (sorry typo) at the minute !!! Edited February 2, 2014 by badger66
Yurgon Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Wow, that was your first flight? Pretty good flying! I didn't keep any tracks or videos from my first attempts, but they looked a lot worse and I think there were a lot more craters around the airbase. :D I had previously flown the Ka-50, that helped a lot with the Huey because I already knew the basics about rotary wing flight. On the other hand, the flight dynamics could hardly be more different than these two, so it took a good while until I started to feel comfortable in the Huey. There are some excellent training missions that helped me to get acquainted with the Huey, for example: Hover Practise Huey Drop Time Trial Skill You didn't use trim in your video, did you? For me (TM Warthog stick, no Force Feedback) trimming is a huge help to keep the control oscillations down and make the flight look smoother. I think trimming (or trimming more) may help you get the beast under control. :thumbup:
ratkandy Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 If your frame rate is really as low as the video suggests, then a better graphics card would be a big upgrade in flight control for you. It's very hard to make subtle changes and avoid overcorrecting at 10fps.

I'm flying UH-1 past few weeks and it really is challenging. But then, when You start to get better, it's very rewarding and I just love that chopper. You can check one of my first training flights out. I already had one flight before this and I really struggled to not crash it. :) Everything is just a matter of time. :thumbup:
