DCS: UH-1H Huey Survival Guide

Күн бұрын

This video is intended help get you through your first ten hours of playing DCS: UH-1H Huey. We'll go through setting up your controls, the basics of using the trim, and then review the different modes of flight you should practice. Your Huey experience will soon be a less frustrating one (you've read your manual, haven't you?). Items include:
- Learning how to set your axis curves.
- Getting familiar with the control indicator and force trim.
- Hovering, both in and out of ground effect.
- Transitioning between modes of flight.
- Reading about VRS and how to avoid it.
- Learning how to autorotate.
Practice the right maneuvers and you'll spend less time crashing and more time flying. This is the second version of this video, recut to correct some information about rudder trim.
Check out the Huey at www.digitalcombatsimulator.com....

I wish everyone who made tutorial videos was as collected and prepared as this guy. Good form. Subscribed.

Got recommended this video from a virtual aerobatics server I fly on. Really helped, much appreciated. - Just working on formations now!

Great video! Only thing I would've added in would be low-g situations that cause mast bumping and eventually mast or rotor separation. Very easy for people to input cyclic pushovers and go negative... In the Robinsons I fly there's literally decals on the cyclics that say, "Low-G pushovers prohibited." For vortex ring state that leads to settling with power you need three factors: -Airspeed below ETL -More than 300ft/min descent -More than 20% power pulled in

Good video man, the axis setup I found very helpful.

Hey I don't know if you're a helicopter pilot, but as a low hour (300hrs) pilot, I really think you have a great grasp of flying! Congrats and thanks for the great tutorial.

Not a helicopter pilot. Right now my ratings are strictly SEL (fixed wing). It's reasonably straightforward to learn the principles of how a helicopter flies, though.

Great Vid, Mind sharing your exact system specs used in the recorded video? I'd like to get my rig in a similar rig as I find DCS world rather lacking in frames on my current set up

@ExcessiveHeadspace 11 жыл бұрын

It's complicated. The best analogy I thought of--from the perspective of a fixed-wing pilot--is the transition from cruise into slow flight. During slow flight, a fixed wing airplane enters what we refer to as the "region of reverse command," where power is needed to go slower. While a helicopter differs in considerable ways, a similar idea is in play--you're transitioning to a mode where you need additional power to go slower. Someone with a ROT rating could probably explain it better.

thanks for your video- tempted to get this sim- can you control the throttle separate from the collective like in real helicopters or is the collective just synced with throttle?

@BTKCuk 11 жыл бұрын

Great video EH. It would be great if you could make a video showing the finer points of controlling the aircraft on the transition from translational lift to a hover and landing - THE most difficult aspect of flying the Huey IMO.

@Munky332 8 жыл бұрын

one thing i'd like to know more about is the cargo/troop loading, is it all just inside the context radio menus? is there anything specific? this is something that really needs to be presented more clearly i feel.

@DreamboyCAT 11 жыл бұрын

@Skysprunk This is torque. It's the correct behaviour of the helicopter when adding power. You need to press left pedal to compensate for it.

@dustoff7 10 жыл бұрын

OutSTANDING video. I've not worked with this simulator yet. Can't wait after seeing this. In the beginning of the video you demonstrate the flight controls, but hesitate to "pull pitch". This made me wonder if this simulation has throttle control. Can you turn off the governor and manually control the throttle? Could you have wound down to "flight idle" while sitting on the tarmac?

@ExcessiveHeadspace 10 жыл бұрын

Yes, there's a throttle control. You can map it to an axis on your controller if you like.

I actually expected the UH-1H to be a bit easier than BlackShark2, but also expected a little more shimmy of body parts on radical stress to the frame. Neither true as of yet. I've got a good *handle, so to speak, on helicopter flight dynamics EXCEPT the bouncing that sets in while trying to fly and fire weapons. I'm thinking I've just got way too much collective cranked up, and ALSO think that proper trim will make a huge difference. I'm fighting to keep the nose down to accommodate the cockpit weapons, therefore the bouncing I guess.

They are separate, I use a Hotas Warthog which allows the two to be controlled separately.

We have all seen Helicopters come straight down from a hover great heights - 40-60 feet, or more. Where is the Vortex Ring State in these cases ?

I ask for clarification on the doors and the pilot and copilot doors, the doors to the cockpit or not yet figured out where is the key on the keyboard to open, while the doors with two keys of the keyboard 3-4 I open up, but for where the close button on the keyboard or the virtual cockpit? Ringrazzio in advance for your kind help.

perhaps i better should had bought this instead of that Dora. Seems more realistic in flight model. P51 was easy to learn and very good feeling in flight and overall real worth every penny.

what this really lacks is telling us the default key bindings for the systems you show us in-game. Bare in mind this is meant to be a tutorial for people who haven't played the game much at all yet. anyway, helpful vid :))

@lylefaraday4691 10 жыл бұрын

Dude... This isn't a "tutorial" but more of a set of instructions for you to follow as you learn. The manual is your tutorial. Or go balls-to-the-wall like me and learn by yourself (it'll take longer unless you already know how to fly other helicopters)

@lylefaraday4691 10 жыл бұрын

Here, how about this. Battery on, generators on (top panels), inverters and stuff. Then fuel and electric spinup motor on. Set up your fuel and other stuff such as comms and hydraulics then hold RAlt + Home to start the engine. Then after it's at a good rpm, slowly raise the THROTTLE (page up) and release the engine starter. (you can also arm your weapons if you feel like it) (usually you'd want to set up your power stuff, go to manual, it's complicated) Go light on your skids as you take off (VERY slowly raise collective) and apply some rudder to the left. Then it's up to you. Do read up on vortex effects and other stuff like that. Bindings: M for the gun sight, left windows + a for autopilot. Shoot, set it to whatever you want (button 1 usually). After that it's really just flying skill. Might want to experiment with a few switches and stuff to see what works.

@RealLifeEddy2K 9 жыл бұрын

Lyle Faraday I tried to use a keyboard but as soon as the heli lifts off it doesn't matter if I use rudder or anything god damn thing wants to go in a side dive or back dive or whatever, completely uncontrollable on a keyboard. Even once your out of ground effects the thing just does this tic toc horrrrrrribly for no god damn reason. I guess I'll have to get a Joystick.

EH thanks for the great guide, i have been eying this game for years and now (Sept 16-2014) Steam has it on sale for $15 and seriously thinking of getting this. I know it is difficult1 Not a childs game. But the only thing an issue, sometime you cannot hear your voice over the game voices and sounds.
