OH-6 Cayuse Mod First Look | Easy on the Eyes, Hard on the Controls! 

Turns out my axis binds were messed up and that what was giving me a hard time. It's still more difficult to fly than other helicopters, but it's usable now.

It looks like you have cyclic bound to more than one axis. You can see the inputs fighting.

Wow! This has been out for a while? I learned about it, and downloaded it only yesterday. I love it.

My Commander let me fly the simulator one day at work. He was amazed at how good I was at flying the bird he was stunned when I told him I learned from simulators. It definitely is Different in a multi-million-dollar sim 😂

Try it again. The 1.1 update made a HUGE difference. After initially trying it I refused to fly it any more as, much like the early UH-60 mod, it was teaching me un-helicopter like responses. But then 1.1 came out a week later and substantially fixed it. (And the UH-60 mod has improved a LOT since it first came out too and I no longer refuse to fly it either.)

you should check if your axis inputs aren't duplicated, i saw the diamond flick full forward, check your axis inputs.

This is not hard to fly your joystick is messed up looks like your playing with a keyboard its full lock to full lock

Navigate to Settings > Controls > OH-6 > Axis Controls. Then clear the binds for all the devices that are shown. The sim will automatically bind things and most the time its wrong. 9/10 you will want to set all of the controls manually. I know its a pain fiddling in that menu but its a neccesarry evil unfortunately

Two points - 1. If you have rockets on both sides, you can set the thingy to one. If you have rockets on one side (with the mini gun on the other) that’s when you need to set it to two. 2. The chopper feels crazy when slow or taking off. I assume this might be related to those of us with smaller (as in normal desktop length) joysticks acting as the cyclic. Once you get moving forward over about 80 knots, bring up the helper and match what you have done with the cyclic diamond with the trim diamond. When you hit the sweet spot it’s like riding a horse going from canter to gallop, that sense or chaos just melts away. Everything smooths right out and you feel like you’re flying the thing, rather than struggling not to die. You can actually fly hands off for a few seconds as it smooths right out. It becomes a much better weapons platform too. Just don’t try to be too fancy in turning around to come back for another run. It’s easy to get into the ‘spaz’ mode again if you try anything showy. A long slowing and descending approach to landing seems to be the key to making it home alive as well. At least, that’s what I found. YMMV.

I just downloaded, and played DCS for the first time today, I tried this helicopter, I was flying all over the place as well, but it was really fun. I think I may get hooked on this game.

i can't stop laugh😂😂(when you have opened for first time dcs)

see that clipping happening on your cyclic? It means you have VR controls or something else taking over. So the inputs that you're putting in with ur stick are being aggressively challenged by a 0-place axis (likely 2, pitch and yaw) while ur trying to fly. CLEAR ALL CONTROLS on AXIS CONTROLS then try remapping again. Here's to hoping the heli flies better like that :P

Are you using a game pad or mouse... It is no surprise you are all over the place trying to fly this thing.

Thanks

Cobb on the curves for cyclic and pedals. +25 cyclic P/R, +20 pedals. Orion HOTAS.

I have a 22 inch cyclic and changed my curves to pitch -68 and roll to -72. Flies a hell of a lot better now

I could manage to take off and do some rocket run. One big problem. I cannot land her back in one piece. One question...How do you shoot the minigun? I switched to gun mode, pulled trigger, darn! Nothing happened.

Were you able to get the machine guns to work?

I do know this mod is hard to fly, but I was also thinking your controls indicator looks like one or both of your joystick axis are bound to more than one device. Particularly with the parts of the video where the flight stick y axis seems to suddenly appear full foward causing your helicopter to do likewise.

😎👍 Nice Flying Egg ☺

I think the steering is broken, look at the flickering of your virtual joysticks. Something is fighting your inputs. Mine is the same.

Just like in the huey you need to set yourself properly before taking off. Go VERY light on the collective, you don't want to go straight up in the air but first go light on the skids and trim yourself out. Stick little back and little left and plenty of left rudder.

Reminds me of the first time I flew the Hind.

it looks like you have a conflicting device set up for your collective and/or your cyclic.

Is there even ground effect in the flight model?

I didnt see you fly at all LOL 🤣

I can fly the Huey fine, this thing...impossible. Using antique MS Sidewinder but it works great for everything else.

))

lol

Your cyclic controls are doubled up with another controller....check it before you wreck it
