AS A UH-1D (B205) AND B212 PILOT (with 1200 hours in the first and 500 hours in the second type mentioned above), currently flying at Hellenic Air Force in Search and Rescue operations I HAVE TO SAY THIS: The Uh-1d flight model in DCS is realistically 10-25% more difficult than the real thing. And I am being over generous here. First of all, the DCS model is much more unstable than the real thing. Second, I noticed a Uh-1 tendency to pitch up with application of power and pitch down when you decrease collective. That doesn’t happen. Like at all. Also I noticed that once you shut down fuel (from the switch NOT the throttle), the engine shuts down immediately, when in fact it still runs for about 1-2 minutes burning trapped fuel in the pipeline. Also the the overtorque behavior isn’t just right. The beacon light effect in the cockpit (that makes the whole pc screen flash!!!) is ridiculously wrong and you don’t have to fly one to know it. However, the sound is pretty damn close. The cockpit wobbling effect due to start up, shut down and while crossing transnational speed, is perfect! And the “trimmer” is function is BY FAR the best idea to bypass the fact that Huey’s don’t have a fixed center (per say) while gamer joysticks do. I do enjoy this UH-1H simulation. But it has too damn aggravated instability effects, TO THE POINT THAT ME AND MY COLLEAGUES can fly the real thing, but can’t fly this simulation. It is that bad. That aggravated. And it is a shame. Ps: If you can fly the DCS Huey model, I guarantee that you can fly the real one. You need to study of course. And practice using the reality factors (dead man curves and all) but you will probably pass the first hover class pretty damn fast...

@30:10 Building: explodes. Cap: oohhh 'pause' I do apologize Mohammed. Pure gold.

If a module ever screamed for multi crew, it’s this one.

They should add giant speakers to the sides as an option lol

29:44 Once you know how to fly. Props for keeping that in CAP. They do get easier quick. I remember back in 2009 I could not get over the mountains in one of the early missions for the Black Shark. WTF. Roll down the mountain. Try again. Tray again. Wait. Snow. Altitude. Hey look at that. Blade de-icing switches...... WOOT. Promptly got shot down on the other side. Small steps....

For me, the Huey is the most enjoyable helicopter to land with. The mi8 is the most enjoyable to fly with...and the KA50 the most enjoyable to pew-pew with.

I must say these are incredible detailed and fantastic reviews! Thanks for your continued efforts, creativity, and of course your work!

"Once you know how to fly it...oh dear" lol

Have to say... somewhere in this video I think I spotted definition for happiness 😁

Really my favorite module TO FLY in DCS. It's way more of an art than any fixed wing, and trimmimg the tree tops is so satisfying. Just watch out for wires.

I have bought the Huey, watching the tutorial videos as I am flight training in readiness for the Apache.

My favorite module too, due to that awesome flight model. It just feels like it's a real thing.

this video was so funny. I have watched every single hornet tutorial video of yours over the past week, as a new DCS player, it helped a lot...but DCS combat itself, is so unforgiving...haha, love this game.

Absolutely awesome video. The shooting rampage was hilarious lol

That was great, very fun to watch ,captain.

Heey Cap. I did as you suggested and bought the Huey this saturday and i having sooo much fun with it :) First night flying i crashed like 50 times on landing and i couldent even take off without crashing haha but now it's getting better and better. I still cant hover but sooner or later i will get there as well. Iam not gone fly another helicopter until i'am getting really good with the Huey. Thnx for the advice to begin with this one cause its really gone help me with the others later on :)

This, the Gazelle, the F-5E, the F-18, and the eventual F-4E and Mirage F-1 are going to steal all my free time

I brought this in early access thinking it would fly like the KA-50. Boy I was WRONG 😤 Difficulty 5. It got very little use until recently now I have rudder pedals couldn’t fly it with a twist rudder. I’m still very much learning how to fly it but really enjoying it now. Still can’t hover it very well but at least I can land it now with out killing everyone. 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃

Ty for this review cap!

I see this is another aircraft with high "diffictulty". :) Mistakes aside, it's a great review Cap, along with the others you've done. Good content for the community and I am sure folks agree that this is a great contribution.

*** I Loved it that you named your Door Gunners !!!!!! :)

I like how you say "get some".

I'll be ordering Virpl collective combo next month, hopefully it will be here before summer. Haha, can't wait.

and in a good VR system this is amazing to fly

I bought this in the last sale. Just started flying it today. Coming from a micro CP RC heli background after getting the bindings sorted I got flying about pretty easily. Felt like a boss when I landed it first try after going treetop height down the Vegas Strip. Not so much when I fumbled the trim switch at the worst time after flying back to base and popped the rotor off.

Great fun this module and it can take quite a beating that's for sure. I wish the Mi8 could take half the beating the Huey does. Great vid.

Just bought this (first hifi model) and Cap is spot on.

The gunnery would have been much better/informative if done at typical Vietnam ranges, like we see in movies and real footage - but it clearly brings out your inner child. :-) . Anyway another useful review, thank you.

It should autoplay fortunate son when you start up

Reflex sight in VR for the win...Trust me.

There have been several bugs over the last 3 years I have flown it, gunners stoped working, sling loads went to space, many changes/ upgrades didn't work with the original missions/campaigns and every now and then something stops working with a new pach (but thats just DCS I guess). So its not perfect BUT they are still very much supporting this module and problems gets fixed.

Bought this module few weeks ago thanks to Cap's video LOOOL

sounds awesome outside

Came of the review, stayed for the "Get some!" show. :D

"I knew this will end in a stupid video..." xD Love it!

History: It took them over 6 years to get the AI controlled aircraft door gunners to fire back/return fire! There were many asking for this and myself included but they took their sweet arse time to fix it They still haven't fixed the nav and beacon lights showing through the cockpit yet

In new to DCS and your videos have been a HUUUGGGEE help but I do have one question before I buy this module. Can I make flying it work with joystick and keyboard? I have a joystick but not enough money for throttle and pedals as I’m just starting out but reallly want to fly helicopters.

They should add a Blackhawk that can have armorment i think that would be pretty cool

GET SOME!

I bought this! :)

that 2 and a half minutes rampage minigun shooting xDDD

Get some!

Goes straight GTA towards the end.

The uh-1 is me fav heli too :))))

28:13 you’re the best Cap

How can you have a Huey dlc without any Nam maps or missions. The two go hand in hand right!

*softly* "Gessum!"

@ 27:00 that a hell of an M60. Where can I get one?

Have you installed the Skullz sound mod? Amazing.

Need a shirt with Cap's angry face, that says "get some".

Question. Why are all your opening screenshots pre-DCS World 2.5? Just find that a little curious.

Should add the UH-1C & UH-1F

Cheers for this. How do you get up the weapon window at minute 4:15

Get some

"I could land on the planes wing" *proceeds to land on wing and then some...*

When are you going to fix that "Diffictulty" typo in your intro for new reviews? It's just a really minor thing, I know, but it's been bugging me...

30:10 , “Oh, I do apologise, Mohammed...” Next thing you know, you get an IED mailed to your house XD

I don't fly helos, i fear them and i don't understand them.....but i wanted to have and try out one, just one in DCS and i chose this one.....why? Because i love the smell of napalm in the morning.....it smells like.....victory......that's why! ;P

how do you overheat the engine?

How can i active the menú of min 3:02?

Graphics are what whatever your Graphics Card can produce Cap, so what GF card do you use for DCS?

Cap on rampage :D

Is this thing ever getting multi crew?

come fly with dcs australia

that GET SOME xD

I served in the greek army and we had chinook-apache-huey....i don't want to see huey ever again i hate it hahahaha

Get Some! Lol

I love these DCS tutorials. But would you guys that do them in VR PLEASE STOP MOVING YOUR HEADS ALL OVER THE PLACE! It ruined another great review, now I’m going to puke from motion sickness.

What did Muhammad ever do to you? 😡
