James Williams Thanks, I enjoy flying the Huey.

+DreadnautVS Very true, thanks for catching that.

TheTolgun Thanks, I'm always flattered by this comparison. His videos are a lot better than mine though :-D

deephack I really enjoy your videos. I think you are as good as him but he plays relatively more popular game so it's expected to see that his subscriber list consist a lot of people. You play what you enjoy to play and I think it's the way to go.

justinspirational Everything is stock in this video. Only mod I have installed is the kneeboard mod from uBoats which adds a load of extra pages into your kneeboard.

deephack thanks for your reply and for the kneeboard mod tip

There are various different ways of maintaining a helicopter in trim. My personal preference is to push and hold. For example I push the trim button, carry out my manoeuvre and then release the trim once the heli is stable. This ensures that I am always in trim.

Thanks for the really quick reply, i'll have a play around and try that, fingers crossed I'll be moving stuff places in no time :)

+James Williams The arrow head is a VOR bearing

ok, thanks

This is DCS World with the UH1 Huey module installed. You can see more information here www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/

Dave B Yes I'm using an old TrackIR 4 with a Track Clip Pro. You press and hold the home key to run the starter. On the real Huey it's a small button on the front of the collective so not so easy to see in game.

Could well be, I've adjusted my settings a bit since this video was taken. Thanks, I live in Edinburgh yes.

You still flying the Huey. I flew into Dundee a couple times. I would say that you are ATC.

Yes I do like the Huey and still fly it a bit when I'm not in the Mig21. I fly in the area of Dundee IRL however I'm a student pilot and not ATC. Must be one of my doppelgänger you hear ;-)

Good luck with your flying (IRL)

Not in this case no, I still had lots of forward speed. The rotor overspeed has nothing to do with VRS specifically, it just lets you know that the rotor is turning faster than rated. This is inefficient for one thing but can also result in damage to the rotor head and blades.

+Eroglik The VM stands for voltage monitor. Basically, it makes sure that all the power sources and buses (battery, main generator, starter generator, essential and non-essential buses) are correctly powered. By switching between the various settings, you can basically read a voltmeter for each source, to confirm that power is supplied. There are two AC generators in the aircraft. One is the main one, powered by the same driveshaft that drives the main and tail rotors. The other one (if I understand it correctly) is a DC-to-AC inverter driven by the battery, labeled "start generator". This is used to provide the spinup power to the turbine that is the main engine, since the plane can be started either by external AC power or the onboard mini-generator. When the engine is started, this backup generator can be switched into standby mode, such that if the engine cuts out and the blades go into autorotation, the aircraft can still get some AC power.

***** Hi Robert, always in sim mode. And yes I'm using a stick in these videos.

+Umbrella Corp On the real huey there is a button on the underside of the collective which is used to start the engine. However as this is not visible from the pilots position I think Belsimtek chose not to model it.

thanks for the info

+- Strahinja - I'm saving the A10C for once I've completed my series on the Mig21 and L39. But don't worry, some A10 videos are incoming ;-)

You know to play this game so good.I think you are only on youtube that have good fps in this game.If you start to record in 60fps,that will be awesome.

Yea,it's A 10C-Warthog,not A C-10.I made mistake :) Sry.

+- Strahinja - There's a ton of people who have 60+ fps in this

It is possible to descend vertically as long as you don't do so too fast. In the Huey a good rule of thumb is that below 15kts airspeed you should not be exceeding 500fpm vertical speed in the descent. I normally make that 300fpm which gives me a good margin. In the real world helicopters will very rarely land vertically as it's just too risky. If you look carefully at them they will normally be maintaining a low airspeed to avoid descending into their downdraft and triggering VRS.

Black_ knight It definitely helps to have a high resolution stick with long travel when flying a chopper as you constantly need to make small accurate movements. If you are having issues controlling it with you stick I would create a curve in axis tune in the controller options. You want it to be quite flat near the centre and curve up near the edges as you will rarely be using full travel. See here for some Huey specific tips. forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1744409

Shane Cowan Thanks buddy, it's right shift and p.

Minamitsu Murasa Thanks for the compliments. Sounds like a good suggestion for another video in the Huey. I'll see if I can put something together next week, I was planning on doing a quick video on naval operations anyway.

Minamitsu Murasa Really hard to say as I enjoy flying both. I'm really in to systems simulation and avionics and so because of that I enjoy the Mi8 but the Huey is such a joy to fly and takes a bit more skill due to the lack of autopilot. I will later on be doing some videos on the Mi8 too but I'd like to wait for the manual as I don't know how all of the systems work yet.

Dave B Hi Dave, I think it is right control and enter although I have remapped most of my controls so that is from memory!

Haha! More than 4 years and no-one ever noticed. I would have gotten away with it too...

That's the low rpm alarm.

This simulation is called DCS World and you can download it for free here www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/ . The Huey is a paid for module available from the same website.

@@deephack grazie, è anche in lingua italiana ?

It doesn't appear to be. They list English, German, Spanish, Russian, Czech, French, Simplified Chinese only.

@@deephack E allora non posso utilizzarlo. grazie.

CNL _ That's just a bit of vibration as I get close to maximum forward speed. The Huey doesn't seem to suffer too much from retreating blade stall but really starts to shake a high speed.

deephack no mater what sort of vibration the aircraft is subject to in real life, the panel would only vibrate in this fashion if it was isolated from the rest of the cockpit by some kind of suspension, like very long springs or somthing. the question is: is it? why?

CNL _ The vibration effects in DCS are intentionally exaggerated as I understand it to provide us sim pilots with the types of queues that real life pilots take for granted. I think that in the Huey the whole ship is actually shaking but the panel appears to move more as it's closer to the pilot. I could be wrong however so might be best to ask Belsimtek if you need more info.

+deephack i have also read this, the panel shake is intentionally exaggerated as sim pilots get used to to the bounds of the aircraft to be safe when really flying.

+CNL _ Everything shakes during this transition into and from ETL. It's called transverse flow though not as bad in real life but heck, its a computer game and it does add a feedback cue to the pilot. If you hit it and havent already started pulling collective you risk VRS.

Correct, I was surprised later when I realised that they had simulated this. It starts every mission in a random orientation much like a light aircraft.
