Pretty common problem. Once you drop below 1000ftper\min as you slow down, you need way more power to stop VRS. Especially as you get close to 0 knots. I fought with this for awhile, and had many spectacular crashes. Trimming constantly as you slow on approach helps too.
@@crashandburngaming5103 wwooowww nooo. do not use collective when in vrs. if anything lower collective, and lower the nose, or lookup the vuischard(if that's how you spell it) technique, much safe fore lower altitude vrs.
@@crashandburngaming5103 trimming? I fly the Huey (well, all of them) without trimming. Hate the virtual trim and will only do it when I get a FFB joystick. There's no need to trim at approach at all, and I would advise to just not trim. Makes it a lot more predictable, since you don't have to do trim resets which will snap your joystick immediately to whatever the true center is.
Thank you, awesome! I am at the beginning of Huey and it is hard hard ..... for me nothing but stationary, it is difficult! light pressure on the stick is always needed: flying well in huey, it's harder than refueling in flight on F18 ^^
It depends of your hardware and your experience. If you have a high end joystick, little to no curve should be necessary. Also if you are a beginner I'd suggest to add some curves (between 15 and 30) until you get used to the very fine adjustements required when flying helos.
@fiendbastards Absolutely not. I was in control the entire time. Switching from pilot to copilot doesnt turn on the auto pilot. SImply because you suck at flying helos in DCS doesnt mean everybody else does
What hardware controllers are you using for cyclic and collective; I've got the Huey but never tried to fly it since all I have is TMWarthog HOTAS and Saitek ProFlight Pedals.
Dont worry! Im still using my old broken x52. It does make it alot harder but it is still possible to get very precise with a half broken twistie Stick.
I'm organically discovering the "drift-skid" deceleration landing where you turn fairly steeply and the heli decelerates quickly for a fast landing. I can't seem to pull it off on an oil rig -- it seems like I need to be able to have a visual reference as to how the heli is turning to be able to do it sucessfully and empty water is not enough for that. Is that a real technique and if so what's that called?
There is a replay feature - but it is very broken for certain aircraft, or for busy missions with lots of things going on (it's not a recording, per say, but rather a re-simulation using the same inputs as when you flew). Forturnately for the Huey the replay system seems to work okay.
