I just can't choose between the two. ;) Most of the time I fly the Hornet first, then conclude my session with a bit of relaxing in the Huey. It soothes me, don't know why. That's why I love it so much! :detective_2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It soothes me, don't know why. That's why I love it so much! :detective_2: Yeah, it's hard to explain how nice it is. When it first came out, I wrote that it took me back to MicroProse's Gunship! days. Even with the polygon mountains, it was such a BLAST! And the Huey sim brings back that joy.

Svsmokey Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 As my first foray into helos , it greatly increased my appreciation of just how much effort ED puts into their graphics .

Roadrunner Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Good point. I guess I didn’t realize they used different speed measurements. Good to know! As a sidenote, all Russian made aircraft have speed in kmh displayed, except the MiG-29G, which is essentialy an A version upgraded for the german Luftwaffe. Same for altitude with meters instead of feet. Anyway, the Huey is realy a joy to fly, if it only had the multicrew stuff already..... when we get it, i have already a few people to train them in helo flying :D Go for it, enjoy it, pure flying without helping systems ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "There's nothing to be gained by second guessing yourself.

Therefore, the process has gone quite deep. We apologize for the wait, but we have to redo engine+Main Rotor performance thoroughly, otherwise we need crutches in modeling, which we really don't like. Besides, who is able to answer the questions that we still have about the engine, we will be grateful for the help (see the attachment). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I know. I was referring to visual updates, to make both the Huey and Mi-8 finally compatible with DCS 2.5.

dawgie79 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) Well, my guess is they will, but since the KA-50 and then the A-10C are first in line, and will take a considerable amount of work, the UH-1H & Mi-8 come after that. And with the Huey they will redo the entire engine and rotor performance as well, so it's only logical they don't comment already because it's gonna take a while. This community is not well known for it's patience. ;) Edited July 15, 2019 by dawgie79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-0303- Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 Is it possible to move the stick to a position under normal speeds where the Huey insta-dies? I do that all the time. It just drops.

Rogue Trooper Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) The Huey is an excellent choice for a first chopper. Always remember that the main body swings under the blades, an adjustment in the cyclic may instantaneous change the blades but the body of the chopper will swing its weight in the direction it was travelling. Learn to think ahead and compensate for this lag of input to reaction. The MI-8 is as good as it gets in DCS, full study sim perfection. cockpit needs a revamp to the current graphics engine but it is coming. the KA-50 is a sublime Attack chopper in DCS and it will just get better. This module pulled me back into sims and then some! When you are moving fast and need to manoeuvre, go left lad... go left. It is predictable but you can out turn anything.... anytime! The pedals are equally as important as any other controller in this machine. The Gazelle sets a new standard in any combat helicopter simulator in my book and in my book, I played it all. I started when microprose gunship was first released and apart from a gap of 10 - 15 years (nothing of interest was around) I played everything chopper. Only team apache came close to what the gazelle achieves now. The flight model is not perfect but the limitations of the machine and how you have to crawl well within the range of the fabulously superior Russian air defences is simply pure bliss! This nasty little French girl belongs in the top echelon of hunters, and boy does she have what she needs to do her job. Not enough weapons, not enough power, but you will learn very quickly how a roof mounted optical sight is just the bonus a true hunter requires. Looking forward to the little guys (OH-58D, OH-6 - AH6 littlebird, Lynx AH-7).

River Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Bought the Huey, the Ka and the Hip this year, wasn't keen on the Gazelle, too many complaints as of now. What can I say, imediately stopped flying jets and I have them all. Somehow the Huey gets all my love now. It is just that good. Mi 8 is awesome too but a little easier on you if you manage to avoid VRS. Actually Mi 8 and Huey are the best modules in DCS, they are unbelievable satisfying to fly. Never ever did I have a blade accident with the Ka by the way, friends of mine had, weird. I think we all overspeed the Shark or at least go pretty fast with it, I try to avoid this and that maybe helps. Biggest problem for me is still taking off in the Helos, I have trouble to know what the aircraft is going to do which gives me a wobble sometimes. Get the Mi 8 and the Huey !!!

Frag Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 The Huey is SO good ... SO good. I wish they had plan to completely redraw its 3D model to something recent.
