@@JoshuaHambyOfficial I am a PPL trying my hand to see if I might do the helicopter add-on (despite my Chinook pilot friend who keeps sternly counseling me… “Helicopters…trust me that you can’t afford that habit”).
Finally someone that knows how to review these add-on helicopters! Been eyeing them for awhile but I have my doubts based on the one that is provided in the vanilla game and the scarce footage I've seen on youtube of the add-on ones. This was the best yet.
Any way to reverse the collective or use just a separate throttle to use as a fixed wing throttle to use that control set up without getting two full control set ups?
@@JoshuaHambyOfficial thanks. I meant if I wanted to shell out for the fancy helicopter puma controls or the Apache controls or something, because helicopter appropriate controls seem more important than say the thrustmaster fixed wing setups, is there a way to use the cyclic and anti torque pedals as your stick and rudder pedals while either reversing the collective or using a separate stand alone throttle control with the puma to fly fixed wing? I fly real world helicopters and tailwheel aerobatic planes and if this VR stuff is getting good enough, as your video seems to show, to be good for practicing, I’m very interested.
Oh yea. Each aircraft, you can assign anything. I use my helicopter controls for left hand throttles and stick planes. Check out my setup video. I show where I use it for helicopter, tail wheel and multi
Love your videos hope to get a Puma soon. Is there a way to adjust the sensibility on the cyclic? Looks not as responsive as real life. Or does it just look that way?
@@JoshuaHambyOfficial uh i have a freeware one the 2.0.0 R22 if i vtol collective up it will turn right i need the standard Geometric control in plane maker and the Expert VTOL or Helo controls
Yea. A counterclockwise rotor system will make the helicopter yaw right due to torque. So when you pull collective, you have to add left pedal. And on the way down. You have to put in right pedal.
Hi Josh, In your experience flying the r44 in real life, what do you think is the best helicopter addons in xplane 11 that is close to real world? in terms of dynamics and stability? Thank you!
Hello Joshua, I put together a similar set-up to your based on some of your videos and am having some difficulty with the set-up. Do you have a website/blog that I can review to get some more advise/information or some one-on-one assistance. I’ll gladly compensate you for you time. Thanks!
I can’t get the throttle to work on R-44. During the set-up the throttle does work, but I’m unable to assign it to the actual throttle on the sim. I did contact Puma and they stated that it’s a problem with the Skylabs software. Any suggestions?
@@JoshuaHambyOfficial I can’t get the throttle back work and I’m having difficulty with the VR. I think it’s just a lack of knowledge relating to the set-up ...
Hi, nice video, I tested this helicopter, I have a question how to set the throttle speed in the pro flight trainer control, because I don't know how to do it, but I can do it through the vr controller? what and how to do in the settings.
Thanks Joshua - I just got the same R44 so great to watch. Do you still have the motorcycle dampeners on your Puma ? It seems you removed them. If so, what made you take them off?
