Great job on the explanations all along! I tried the H135 a while ago but I never knew what I was doing. With the official MSFS version and your training, it makes more sense and is a lot of fun. In VR I made some progress with the assists turned off, but I think I will follow this example and practice some basic state changes with assists for a while. Thanks!
Awesome, thank you for this, really looking forward to more. I've flown a helicopter once IRL, I found it so much harder than small aircraft. Incredible though. MSFS is an amazing way to get a taste of it - low/no cost and no danger :)
Thank you for the easy to follow, and clear info :) certainly helps me to understand why the vehicle is acting as it does at time.. Now have to go practice making my control smoother.. :)
Thankyou. Very useful. Will you do some advanced lesson to have both collective and pedals assistance removed and do the whole thing more realistic? I know the theory and I did the whole thing just basing on some practical experience but it will be useful to have your hints and suggestions.
Are you familiar with Virpil helicopter controls at all? This what I have and waiting to attempt flying from Saturday 17 December onwards - when I will get 3 weeks off work(!).
No matter how gentle I use the collective, I get a loud rattle noise from the engine and the helicopter drops down, It is like impossible to get in a hover IGE or OGE.. Like she needs speed all the time otherwise the engine stops working properly...
Watch the vertical speed. Do not let it get more than -300 FPM. You are entering your own wash and quickly begin to drop like a brick. Keep some forward speed going to stay ahead of your wash as well. A 20° slope coming in to land helps a lot.
hi hi all... wonder if anyone can point me at a good forum for heli sim enthusiast. One thats active... I'm looking at getting MSFS, busy putting together a control setup etc. G
I fly RC helicopter and if you turn on the stabilisation for cyclic and tail in FS2020 feels very unrealistic. After deactivating this in the options the feeling is way better.
Nice Video! In our video we talked specifically about how they work and then also how to make them fly. You should make a video on the specifics of how helicopters are able to fly too!
Le truc en prenant de la vitesse après le décollage, c'est que la vitesse arrive dans les pales du retors et comme pour un avion cela augmente la portance...par contre l'effet de sol est encore a corriger, c'est trop peu
I put zip ties on the spring of my joystick. It's very loose, but is perfect for helicopters. Even aircraft don't hard center the way joystick manufacturers make them. The center should be very soft to make it close to real life.
Just practise in heli all the controls affect each other. I would suggest you to test how they do that by checking it one by one. If you add collective you need to ad also more right foot to stay straigt and train that instinct to do it without thinking about it. I also suggest watching video about helicopters on the channel "smarter every day" , it helped me see how controls affect each other. Also a great video. Have fun
Sounds familiar. I just fixed it. It's something of a bug people reported. Go to the main menu (end your flight (!)) and go to General Options, then Flight Model. Switch to Legacy and make sure you switch Global Preset to Realistic. Now start a flight and it should fly like on rails. End the flight and go to Main Menu, General Options Set Flight Model to Modern and start a flight. Now all should be well.
every time when this guy says "thousand feet per second" it hurts me, because i cant take him like as instructor. First time i was thinking, that was a slip, but i am at this 4-th episode and he is still sayin that :D Looking forward when he realize that its not "per second." But otherwise his other instructor skills are nice...
Yes sorry, I obviously know it is not per second, I am at my debut as a youtuber, just want to convey information in the timeframe available... I don't even know how to edit videos... glad you appreciate the rest !
don't say sorry, I don't mind, I just thought it was really funny. And may I ask when we can expect the next lessons? If you want i can help with that somehow ;)
How am I suppose to take helicopters seriously when their cockpit isn't shaking from vibrations. Haven't the developers been in a real helicopter? Especially this small.
