VSKYLABS R44 | VR | Hamby Aero 

Thanks. It's a good little helicopter.

@@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”).

Good deal. Yes helicopters are very expensive. I can barely afford to stay current in them

Thanks so much! It's a great addon

Its a Pro Flight Trainer Puma!

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?

Yea with xplane you use whichever controls for each specific aircraft

@@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

Pretty much as sensitive as they come for the Robinson

@@JoshuaHambyOfficial thanks I just purchased a puma pro flight and was checking to see how you had your settings on your sim

Great purchase! I haven't been on in quite a while.

Thanks much! Love the Puma. Yea, you can adjust the sensitivity. I probably need to on the cyclic, its not quite there.

@@JoshuaHambyOfficial awesome good to know! Wondering if you downloaded the new helicopter simulator yet? Seen it has crop dusting with it as well.

I haven't yet

@@JoshuaHambyOfficial gotcha post a video if you do!

Will do!

I'm not sure I understand the question 😕

@@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

Add left pedal 😀

@@JoshuaHambyOfficial is that how helicopters work?

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.

Thanks! Its an Oculus Rift.

Best for the bang from what I see is the HP Reverb G2, or second place is the Oculus Quest.

Welll isn't that wierd, you two both have the same last names~! How ironic, snicker!

The VSKYLABS stuff is very good. My favorite overall is the DF 407.

@@JoshuaHambyOfficial thank you, hope to see more of your videos in the future! SAFE SKIES

No problem! Thanks for swinging by

It does pretty well. It's just standard settings for everything

Thanks for stopping in! Na, I was peeking under the headset at the time. I had to go to work shortly after 😄.

Absolutely! Thanks for watching

I believe I got it off Amazon or Ebay. About $100

@@JoshuaHambyOfficial I mean with the controls and everything?

Ah, the helicopter controls are the Pro Flight Trainer Puma, Saitek throttles and Honeycomb yoke.

Set em hiiiiigh

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?

Assign the throttle to the "wing sweep" axis.

What other sort of problems are you running into?

@@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 ...

@@JoshuaHambyOfficial thank you. I’ll try that. Appreciate the advise.

Hey thanks! When assigning the throttle axis, select something called Wing Sweep.

Thanks for the comment! I just took the collective damper off because I couldn't get a smooth transition for fine adjustments.

@@JoshuaHambyOfficial Cheers for the reply !
