Keep practicing! Start on a big runway, then slowly decrease your target size as you improve.

✌️

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you for the kind words! The Huey is fantastic and Taog’s team keeps working to improve it!

More to come!

…almost as much as we love sarcasm in internet chats. Thanks for the feedback!

@@donaldledet9895 I use a mouse to manipulate any of the other cockpit controls as necessary. You can take your hand off of the collective to do what you need to.

@@Belatu42 Thanks for the reply

@@ritchip thanks for the feedback!

@@LemarIsaacs thanks! I plan to make a How to Helisim video about quick stops

@@LemarIsaacs safety is always the first consideration!

The updated files fixed the performance glitch! Pickups are much better but now the ground effect cushion seems to be missing or understated. I sank all the way to the ground after ETL on approach, unless you add a bunch of collective, which felt off.

For me, it’s really finicky. You have to start all of the programs in the right order and then shutoff the helimanager before going into VR mode. But it’s a fun experience when it’s working!

It’s more like a lack of any feedback until all of a sudden you get 150%. In a real helicopter, as you raise collective you can feel and see the helicopter start getting lighter on the skids and it’s easy to correct and maintain the balance. It comes on progressively. It’s like sitting in a chair and standing up to balance on the ball of one foot like your reaching up for something. The Cabri G2 actually replicates the pickup to hover very well after SU15

@@Belatu42 Interesting. I just tried the Cabri and concur, you have a transition zone to be able to center up before leaving the ground. That zone if it exists at all with the Jet Exec is super small and nonlinear ... meaning it develops almost exponential lift -- you bring in power and you're still on the ground and without adding any more power it lifts off on its own and quite rapidly. Not a great recipe for elegant, controlled takeoffs.

You have to be a little more active in the sim than with the real thing, but it’s very similar. The wind speed changes a bit and can cause you to bob up and down a bit if not correcting. None of the controls are really set and forget.

@@Belatu42 thank you, i will continue the training !

@@cptvanier I do have DCS and I love their Huey, but I do feel that VRS is too easily encountered in DCS. I’ve never flown a real Huey though, only Robinsons. When I practiced in R22s and R44s it was not easy to get into. We would set up a tail wind at altitude to practice and you really had to be descending quickly. It’s talked about a lot IRL because it’s usually encountered on approach, close to the ground where recovery is unlikely. So it’s important to pay close attention to your speed and descent rate on approach.

@@simonclark7082 Thanks! I love your channel BTW

@@Belatu42 thanks.

@@matthew09ify It really showcases what can be done with a helicopter addon for MSFS!

@Belatu42 that is true I had the huey on flight simulator X which was pretty close to the real one

Thanks for the feedback! Audio is something I am continuing to work on for all of my videos. Keep at it! Learning how to offset the torque during different phases of flight is what makes helicopters so much fun!

Hi, I would recommend using the assists when you first start out. Once you have a general idea of how to control the helicopter, turn them off. czcams.com/play/PL7yKmv0KsAo1RwSX8kOJfFAQwL1nwA0_F.html

@@Belatu42 ok thank you i will try that.

Agreed. It’s not my favorite heli FM either, but overall isn’t terrible. My least favorite part of the FM is the ground contact weirdness and inability to sense when it’s light on the skids.

@@aviacaoesimulacao yes and no. The first two I left the governor on and rolled the throttle off. The governor should disengage below 90% throttle, but it wasn’t working consistently. The last autos in the black paint job, I shut the governor off manually first.

Thanks! No, I’m not currently using any assists

@@derkas13 I don’t always do full checklists in the sim. Not everything can be done. All of the sims have some kind of limitation or inaccuracies. It’s just amazing what we do have at the home simulator level. The XP12 version is closer to the real thing, but the scenery is not…

@@user-ui5rr4ke8j thanks for the feedback! Audio mixing is the area I struggle most with. I’m better than I used to be :)

@@Virtual-Pilot-Eagle I would agree with that. I would like to be able to open the panels and pre-flight(ish) like you can with the XP12 version

@@Belatu42 You mentioned that you cannot do the needle split test. How were you able to simulate engine failure for the autorotation then.

@@Virtual-Pilot-Eagle it’s a sim limitation within MSFS for now. The needles don’t split if the throttle is cut when the disk is unloaded at flat pitch, but they do when the disk is loaded in flight. They split during autos, but not for the check during run up. The XP12 version does it more like the real thing in this older video of mine czcams.com/video/PhL1_xLFYbY/video.htmlsi=tlSXTyHjmGlzqXhO&t=15m50s

@@Belatu42 Yes I fly the x-plane 12 R22 too and you can follow the real checklist as is, except for non functional circuit breakers, cyclic and collective frictions.

They are all so good in different ways

@@Virtual-Pilot-Eagle thanks for the feedback! I made this one so long ago…I use music and edit my videos much differently now…

Yes I do. The Puma controls work very well. The only small complaint flying fixed wing with them would be they don’t self center for rudder control so flying in trim can be a little tricky, but you get used to it.

DCS, XP12 & MSFS are all pretty competitive actually. At least to my limited real world experience in Robinsons. They are all very good, but each have little things that one does better than the other.

I don’t know for sure but others have commented that it’s out on Steam already

@@Belatu42 yer it sneaked on the store, between 2pm - 4pm UK GMT time this afternoon (sat), downloading it as we speak.

@@monostripezebras absolutely! I can’t wait for MSFS 2024, then vertical reference work can be done in all 3 major sims!

@@simpo5958 you and me both man..

@@simpo5958 I had a smile on my face the whole time once I loaded it! They did a good job!

Always better sounds than msfs

@@CCitis externally and fly by, for sure

It is, has been since 7pm est yesterday

@@directorkeller4711 it says "comming soon" on steam. Yes. The update released at that time. The chinook only showed up on the steam store 4 hours later and is as of right now, 13:45 CET not buyable on steam. It says "Comming Soon".

@@Halozocker104 don’t wait too long…it’s a blast!

@@Belatu42 funny you should say that, BigNewy said on the steam update log comments that itll take till monday for it to come to steam, now im doin the math wether i can set everything up and download the 600gb sooner than monday 😂 been meaning to switch to standalone anyway..

@@Halozocker104it’s out right now on steam. Just saw it on the dcs page

@Belatu42 looking forward to flying her today. WOOHOO

@@connostyper thanks!

@@northshoreroller9559 For sure! The sounds are the best part of this helicopter!

No such thing as too many helicopters!

Thanks!

A lot of downloaded software is non-refundable. For what reason do you want a refund?

Flyinside is doing the physics on the Milviz UH-1?

@@EvanMaillardRacing as i hear in the interview.

Which interview? I haven’t heard that either…

Taog’s Huey and the Got Friends Mini 500 also have Retreating Blade Stall and VRS modeled…while using the Asobo CFD FM. Other developers are starting to figure out how to flesh out helis in MSFS. I can’t wait to see what the 2024 SDK brings. We already know rope simulation is included

@@Belatu42 strange i have both, i torture them as everything i fly, and hasn't any thing like that. if you talking about lost engine about overtorque in taog's huey, but i sure not. i talking about heli spin, when you lost lift with rotor still working and it's start rotate and go down, in taog's i had only overtorque and in mini500 i had only overspeed asymmetrical lift, and that's was at very big speed:) .. about interview i don't know, last one from the milviz, where they talking about features of sr71, x-mass upcoming with zero... krayz colin said about flyinside physic for huey. but as i said i remember that, i didn't rewatch, so don't sure, and as you see my english crazy bad:)

Yes. It is a small helicopter so it is shaped a bit oddly.

Yeah, kind of like a mini AS355 TwinStar…?

It's FlyInside's art style. It's similar to the glare effect on their other products. It looks decent while flying in VR.

I hope you like it!

Great! Helicopters in MSFS keep getting better and better!

including the “stickyness” on pickup?

Ha! Right?!? Maybe sims fidelity will get closer in the coming years…

Thanks! What section are you having a hard time understanding? You can always turn on closed captions…

Hi Harold. I use a pro-flight-trainer.com 1:1 control set. It’s the most universal and realistic control set on the market without getting something aircraft specific. 100% reactivity/sensitivity. No curves. They are a bit expensive, but worth it. I’ve been using mine 2-3 hours a week for the last 9 years

Thank you for your prompt and helpful reply Belatu 42. I’ll give those settings a go. Regards.

What controller are you using? Those settings will not be right for a gamepad or desktop joystick.
