FSX Basics. Part 6, Helicopters 

Most rewarding gaming I have done the last years is learn to fly the helicopter with HOTAS system. Took me about 4-5 hours, but now I can fly almost anything, although still can not land exactly where I want. Highly recommended!

Love the vid man. I have plenty of experience flying a Bell 212 in real life out of Fresno CA but I’m trying to use this sim to figure out how to nail the badass reverse approaches you see on tiktok where they land on the trucks to refill lmao. 6 years late but still a good video 👋🏻

Your very positive, "Your gonna die"

For some reason I thought flying choppers was easier than airplanes. He's not kidding, they're difficult and you will die in FS many times before you get the hang of it.

FSX does not model the Vortex Ring State he mentions on landing. For it to appear in the program you will need the Dodosim 206 payware helicopter (which has VRS modelling built in), the Vert06_mod for Dirk Fassbender's AS332 which has a rudimentary VRS system (as well as a few other "failures" such as stuck rudder), or the external program Helicopter Total Realism (for all helicopters) which attempts to superimpose real-world flight dynamics onto FSX (with various degrees of success)

I get it. Patience. When landing I, stay at my cruising speed until im literally above my landing zone. I realised I need to have patience and slow down at a distance away from your landing zone.

that was great flying bra

Very nice.

7:30 I am gonna hover taxi along this sexyway?

Enjoyed that. Made me want to give it try. What equipment are you using? I only have a joystick and throttles. Another good vid, thanks, PT

Hello country fly boy. How do you configure or set your collective in fsx control settings? I have not found the settings "collective" in FSX

Random question: is there a drone add on for example the IAI Heron, or the mq 9 reaper ?

At the start of the video "You're gonna die" at the end of the video "it just takes practice"

The collective does not increase angle of attack The cyclic can increase angle of attack, the cyclic will raise one area of the swash plates, if it raises them from the front then that will raise angle of attack, the collective will raise the swash plates evenly in all directions, this will increase altitude while keeping the helicopter stable

Hello country fly boy. How do you configure or set your collective in fsx control settings? I have not found the settings "collective" in FSX. So how did you set the collective? I have a twisted joy stick with rudder, throttle and bank controls?

Helicopters don't really use a variable throttle, the rotor speed stays the same, it's the pitch of the blades which changes

how do helicopters behave using keyboard and mouse controls?

you should try the dodosim 206

how do you move the camera around the cockpit?

Are you roll playing being a cop, or is that an actual roll you can play in the game?

whats the collective binded to

7:41 in subtitles it writes bear crap Hahahahahha lololol 🤣🤣🤣🤣

What us the name of this program?

Can you say "Hey diddily neighbor" at some point?

i didn't understand how to turn on helicopter

How can you control the rudders?

Where did you spawn

Had a much harder experience flying helicopters in X-PLANE

you menat to say the rotro pitch

Athens is in Greece not Georgia

Pleeeeeeease don't say "tarmac" x'D

this is another helicopter tutorial with 5+ minutes intro about nothing, WTF
