Back in 1989I learned to co-pilot a Huey in-flight incase the pilot was or co-pilot was taken out. I never learned to take off or land, but was pretty sure that would be easier than learning how to emergency jumping into the seat of a wounded pilot. With only 20 hours of flight time - I did what I was taught to do very well. Your video was so helpful for me and my memory of my Huey. Thank you so much.
I know you havent made videos in awhile, but I just wanted to say this video specifically helped me nail hovering down. I pass it along to anyone who is getting into helos and having trouble. The airshow cone practice method helped immensely. Jusy wanted to say I appreciate your effort and hopefully you will be able to continue making videos in the future.
Great and informative video and tutorial, good job! If I had to critic something small - @2:22 the Rudder is a fixed Wing term, rather use the phrase Anti-torque / Anti-torque pedals. Cheers mate
Wow. Just found this great tutorial. I'd given my zoom axis to find it when I started trying Huey in DCS. And I've just accidentally bumped into it just randomly. Well, it's well past time, but you, sir, still have my like and comment. Hope it helps.
really excellent tutorial ... very toughtful to include the controls overlay, as it makes easier to understand what are your inputs. Perhaps you could also put links to download the helicopter skin and mission, so that we can practice your teachings on our own PCs, but anyway it is a very nice tutorial ... you've got a new subscriber :)
does the collective just go up and down? or does it have a twist grip that adjusts something else? and are there any important buttons on a collective grip.
My helicopter can never be as stable as in videos like this I see. In the hover it wobbles greatly in all axes. I am not sure if it has to do with the joystick settings or just a cheap joystick.
How is important having a good stick + extension to get smooth control of helis? I already own VBK T-rudder but sadly a cheap stick (T16000M), no throttle,
@@everythingdcsworld4936 thank you so much. I am having a hell of a time I cannot wait. I like how you explain what you have to do with each movement and the reaction it does.
I keep overcorrecting, but it's because the aircraft movement is so delayed that I don't get the feedback to my control inputs fast enough. I'm trying to make tiny corrections, but without any kind of force feedback, it's pretty difficult. Maybe I should get the pedals out and see if that helps.
@@ArtManNL Negative. I don't use any curve changes or saturation. It's all just default. Throttle curves always mess me up. I prefer to know that it will always be a 1:1 ratio. For me it's easier to learn on - but just personal preference.
