A rotary legend spending a few important minutes of his DCS life, showing the rest of us how to be succeed with whirliebirds. I wish all community mods were this amazingly detailed! Thank you Mav!! Top gun and volleyball!!
Thanks. As an old Army crew chief, I love this module. The sound is spot on. I have just about 600 hours on her as CC and TI ( inspector ). My all time fav helo
Excellent video Mav, thank you. FYI, The UH60L doesn't need power pedal on lifting. She seems to have the same system as the Apache, when the weight comes off the wheels, heading hold kicks in. I'm not sure which version I'm using but she doesn't need any pedal on lifting or in the hover.
I don't have decent pedals so I assigned pedals to a rotary on the X56 throttle, adjusted a slight amount of power pedal and was having fun with the UH60. Wish I did that during the Apache trial, had trouble with that. Also wish the littlebird had trim functions, what a nippy wee c**t to fly.
@@104thMaverick I checked, I have no assist on. Casmo told me that weight off wheels brings in heading hold, unless you hold the SAS interrupt button, in which case, it's manual all the way. It seems to be the same in the Blackhawk :)
@@104thMaverick I just checked with the devs on the Blackhawk discord, yes, she does have heading hold on lift unless you interrupt (like the Apache). She also has turn coordination above 60kts, oooh fancy! (Though I've found she needs some help with turn coord at any speed. Awesome mod though :)
@@phil73805 Yes however you still need left pedal when coming off the ground because as you said, its only active once WOW is off AND is only active when yaw rate is below a certain percent so if you allow it to turn on lift off it will continue to until you correct it. However I don't know how its modeled in game so it may be a mute point but I do fly the Mike variant and that has been my experience
Actually the Blackhawk does not rotate by itself, because the FPS does hold the heading UNLESS you put pedal into it. At least the real one does stay straight until you push a pedal. You can fly the blackhawk without using the pedal at all, if you want to and as I heard in a podcast, a lot of pilots do, during cruising about.
If I’m being honest, I don’t play DCS and don’t even have a computer to do so if I wanted to, but this video is just oddly satisfying to me and just really cool!
