msalama Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Elementary helo physics, just compensate with your controls. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick50 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Think the Hind does the same too. Not sure why, helis are... um, complicated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireNZ Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Tail rotor thrust used to counteract M/R torque and keep you straight is directed sideways, so you naturally need to counter the sideways drift with some opposite direction cyclic, which tilts the helicopter in that direction a little, hence not 'flat' at lift off or landing. Heavier you are the more torque you need to lift off = more tail rotor = more required cyclic 'tilt'. Right cyclic/pedal for Mi-8 and Gazelle, Left cyclic/pedal for Huey.

Rogue Trooper Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Elementary helo physics, just compensate with your controls. Exactly this, pull the collective up until the wheels are light on the ground, compensate torque with the pedals. adjust cyclic to lift off wheels level depending on your load.... it is always different. the MI-8 is the best chopper in DCS bar none. We dream of the MI-24 being as good as this. 1 HP G2 Reverb, Windows 10 VR settings: IPD is 64.5mm, High image quality, G2 reset to 60Hz refresh rate as standard. OpenXR user, Open XR tool kit disabled. Open XR was a massive upgrade for me. DCS: Pixel Density 1.0, Forced IPD at 55 (perceived world size), 0 X MSAA, 0 X SSAA. My real IPD is 64.5mm. Prescription VROptition lenses installed. VR Driver system: I9-9900KS 5Ghz CPU. XI Hero motherboard and RTX 3090 graphics card, 64 gigs Ram, No OC at the mo. MT user (2 - 5 fps gain). DCS run at 60Hz. Vaicom user. Thrustmaster warthog user. MFG pedals with damper upgrade.... and what an upgrade! Total controls Apache MPDs set to virtual Reality height with brail enhancements to ensure 100% button activation in VR.. Simshaker Jet Pro vibration seat.. Uses data from DCS not sound.... you know when you are dropping into VRS with this bad boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
