Let me humbly thank you sir; this is a big compliment for me, I have to give credit for the creator of the Flight Model: Fred the creator of AirlandFS, who I work with on the development of this aircraft! The caracteristics of the FM are based on the real life Huey and take in account many aerodynamics parameters. The new FM is indeed way more challenging but when AirlandFS is turn up 100% provides the most realistic flight experience possible where you can really feel the weight of the aircraft. There is is still some tweaking to be made and we are working on it! Thanks for your great video and i am glad you like the bird! Don't forget to check out all the attachments! Cheers Taog

You are the most entertaining Flight Sim youtuber of all time. Love it. Keep it up!

At 16:38 you said speedometer again. I was drinking a coke when you said it. I laughed and it came out my nose, thanks.

Love your videos; so entertaining. You'd be a hit on primetime television.

I didn't care for the previous models mainly because of the sound which the huey has it's own unique sound and that's very much improved now. I can't wait to try it out. Thanks for the great review!

Excellent video!! I'm just blown away by the quality of products independent developers are coming out with and I just hope that my own Airwolf project can come close to this level of authenticity once released.

Couldn´t agree more. Massive helis and the Huey is massive in terms of weight, do not tend to jump around like the Bell 47. They are more stable just by the mass they have. Look some pilot videos of Huey Pilots on youtube. For the time being just use the airland profile of the H145 on the Huey and the whole thing is still a challenge but way better manageable.

WOW Mike...man, this is awesome. Fun video "...definitely going back up"...lol, thanks Big Guy...Well, off to get this setup...

I love it, the UH-60 is great too.

At last a helo with variable sound effects wrt flight characteristics. Brilliant.

Good morning from the UK . Its 4am and im having a cuppa watching this

glad they came out with a nice slow profile

This will get you a sell - been waiting for the Huey to show up. Am a former Huey chief, this will sure bring back memories.

This chopper is great!

Love this helicopter. Spent 3000 hrs flying it. Us Army retired

Real world heli pilot here :) just bumped on this in KZfaq as it always happens with KZfaq lol. It was so much fun to listen to you :)) You made me laugh in a good way :)) "Busy but focused and not chaotic" Is pretty much what it is like Hahaha , certainly for the few first 100's hours but it eventually becomes second nature :). There is only one limb you do not use in a helicopter, guess which one that is lol :). Regarding the cyclic and collective as well as pedals is just coordination and it eventually become part of you. It only takes a thought more than actual input. So flying white knuckles is not recommended, try loose, relax hand on the cyclic with fingers, apply light pressure and bare in mind that you need to wait a little after an input, (gyroscopic precession) and it will do what you want it to do, Think ahead is the trick :), Never "grab the grip and catch yourself with white knuckles ! It's like holding a baby by the hand not wrestling a dragon! Even if you lose hydraulics, again the forces will be multiplied and you r now holding a big boy rotor with rather big blades with serious momentum! The worst thing you can do is over correct a rotor. Using slight bumping action is much better than trying to wrestle the stick. I always found it rather funny when I would take a fixed wing pilot in the heli and give them the controls. HAhahaha. It's always good fun ! I'd say that 99% are very surprised at the lightness at which "inputs" are actually performed. Fixed wing inputs require sensibly more travel , more deflection, more action, not all fixed wings but the average fixed wing aircraft. Helis, the bigger you go the easier it gets, jumping from a skateboard to a Bentley lol ! So small piston helis are great to start with as it really your attention ! So a R22 is sometimes more often than not more challenging than a CB300 Schweizer, and a R44 Raven II being an upgrade to that, or a Jet long Ranger/R66 , and a Huey is even bigger than than that. It's really gentle , it is a teetering rotor system and allergic to zero G's! Mast bumping is baaad juju! So low pushover ! Not in a Huey , Not in R44 R22,66 and any other teetering rotor system. the UH60 is what we call a fully articulated rotor system so is threBO105, check what that thing can do ! Super efficient ! Much safer in my opinion. Ground resonance, yes it can be an issue but good maintenance goes a long way and if recognized in due time, GR is mostly a non issue. All helis have their pros and cons but they are awesome machines, They always make me relax, quiet, the "zone"as you referred. There is a big but though! Helicopters need to be treated with the greatest amount of respect and absolutely zero complacency !!There is no respawn! :))) Fixd wings ,fly high and fast. We fly low and slow, less room for mistakes is really what it means. I love helis to work with and FW for tons of fun in the sky! Acro is just wow! Hey! Your video was a super fun to listen to, great positive attitude ! Thank you :) Go to the US and book yourself a demo flight or something ! Just do it ! You deserve it ! 😃👍👍👍

The rotors spin up way too fast on start up. It takes about 45 to 60 seconds to get up to speed. There is a switch we called the beep button, on the collective that was used to change the engine output shaft to transmission input speed from 6000 to 6600 rpm.. You used the 6600 for take off and landings or when you needed max power for any other occasion. Red line on the rotor speed is 345 rpm. Due to the rotor head design you can not go inverted and live to tell about it. BTW, one nice feature of the Huey and Cobra is the droop compensator cam, which was part of the throttle linkage. As you pulled more pitch, it added fuel so you didn't have to keep readjusting the throttle like in some piston powered helicopters. I would like to see how you control collective pitch on your computer set up. I have a HOTAS Warthog control system and I would use the left throttle control for engine rpm and the right one for collective pitch. So far I have been unable to get FS2020 to recognize that I do have a left throttle.

I saw a guy hovering this thing in real life in front of a hangar in Oshawa, he held it rock solid, my greatest respect! Unfortunately this awesome model is inaccessible for me. Most versions so far make my flightsim crash to desktop. I have no idea why. Once I had it working and it was a joy to fly, but after that, my Sim doesn't tolerate it in my community folder any more. But hey, you did very well controlling this beast!

I think there’s a few changes into the Huey 1. there’s needs to be more cockpit sounds 2. After startup should go to ground idle, which you can then go to full power which is flight idle(as with real helicopters) So far in this, I hope to see more for helicopters as we get closer.

Your takeoff through ground effect was good... No collective required but when you pass through ELT (effective translational lift... Basically out of ground effect) you just need to use cyclic to climb out. And hovering a huey is very challenging for new helo pilots...i always described it was as being a juggling monkey balancing on a basketball. And the initial lift off the ground will typically be right front high and it will peel off the ground.

I tend to agree with Volker Dilger below. The UH1 or Heuy is also one of my favourite aircrafts in simulators and I so much want love this free mod. But there are just a few things wrong in the flight characteristics spoiling my emersion The transition from ground to hover, there's too much pitch, yaw and role action. Then flying the Heuy at speeds below 60 - 80, there's too much pitch & yaw ballooning going on. Which needs ironing out, which would be great. At speeds over 100 knots it'll seems fine. Which could mean the issues I'm highlighting could due to MSFS 2020 or AirlandFS and not the dev or the Heuy mod? However as Mr Overkill says in this video this great video, this is a is a great freewarw module, by this dev and is not £60.00 payware, as the Huey is in DCS and I hope that this dev keeps up their great work. Show this dev the ❤

I can't iterate enough how much I want to see a DCS Huey remodel, and flight model update. In due time, this free mod will most likely surpass DCS at least graphically.

awesome vid, really enjoyed it. can i make a suggestion? can you add the location in your video descriptions? i watch a lot of your vids and find myself trying to guess where your at for the vid. you choose some nice locations and i would like to check some of them out.

Thanks for video. Which hardware for cyclic, collective and anti torque pedals are best to get for realism etc? Thanks

thanks for the exciting videos on helicopters in fs2020. I am currently waiting for my new hotas to get here so I can fly. I think flying a helicopter will give me a better flight experience as a recreational sim pilot. I have never been a pilot, however, I have jumped out of helicopters in my Army days at Ft Bragg NC. Any suggestions on how to set up my hotas to fly this helicopter? Looking forward, no I can't wait til they are here. Thanks again

Great improvements overall. FM also more felt more reallistic. But it felt like to heavy compared to DCS one. what do you tholink?

My hotas broke and now I'm grounded... more time to watch OKS

I tried this a couple of weeks ago and the blade sounds inside the cockpit were awful. I guess they were updated, because this sounds a lot better.

As a former huey driver you should be able to accomplish most normal flight operations by moving the cyclic within a 1.5 inch circle. And yes I was an IP.

Wonder it rotor blade droop could be added.

The developers for the new Bell 47-G is called "FlyInside".

Is that panel thing part of the original download or did I miss something because I ha e the original download

Overkill do you use something for headtracking?

couldnt get it off the ground. loaded airland and everything, just would not move when i went to lift off.

Would you believe the turbine that drives the Main Rotor spins at 22,500rpm? and the Main Rotor spins at 325rpm.😜

Looks great but with the current version passengers are forced to appear when there is weight in the position. Being forced to have what someone else wants a passenger to look like showing if realistically using the weight position is an absolute deal breaker for me.

More unstable, more cyclic, harder to fly... doesn't necessarily mean more realistic. We'd need a real world pilot to confirm that

I never used anything like MODS or nothing. Just a OnAir addon' but im about to try this for surely! I didn't play since august of 2020 till just a week ago. Would of been cool to see ya take off like a bat out of hell. Like you were off to save a drowning sumo wrestler that never learned to swim. Cause all they ever done is wrestle. "EDIT" you did take off very well! I was hoping to see it. Just commented to soon! TY!

Unfortunately is no more working since last sim update

muito bom

It still looks like the tail rotor are uncontrollable in fast forward speed like it is on all Helicopters in MSFS, i am so looking forward to ASOBO com withe real air dynamics for helicopteres.

Now that they've implemented choppers I can't get my Huey to work with AirlandFS anymore :(

Wow! Its scary to think how quick a heli would come down if the pilot died. How much does it cost to get this set up?

This helicopter flies great up until its time to land, for some reason this thing just wants to fall out of the sky when i get it near the ground, anyone else have this issue ?

Reminiscent of Apocalypse Now !

Thank you for the nice and very entertaining video ! I explain how forward speed affects rotor thrust in my video on take off in my channel, if you are interested in knowing more about helicopter aerodynamics… again great great video thanks !

Not as easy to fly as the h135 is it

I don't know nothing about the settings but it is on Casual Pilot in your Airland settings and I don't know what or limits put on the flight control from Real life Simulation. You mention DCS and I only fly HUEY in DCS for Helicopters and You say nothing about how DCS flight model is compared to this. I can see things that I know is not correct but MFS has Value Still no Bash. I like watching Huey pilots fly. I can tell a lot about them from one and only one thing and that is Landings and the Approach to Land. Keep up the Good Practice I see some Good logic Thinking you use. Best Of Luck.

Very.small.movement.on.the.cyclic

transitional lift

Says loaded but doesn't load into MSFS - Helicopter doesn't exist !! Frustrated

MSFS 2020 helicopter simulation is extremely poor. X-Plane 11 is 100 X better in terms of Helicopter simulation than MSFS. Fact! Period! MSFS the graphics are better for sure.

Bad and unrealistic Sound 👎
