- Good day everyone, so there's a new mod for DCS, the OH-6A! Which most will know there has been one in the past. THIS IS NEW as of April 30 2024 and is NOT the same. Ok, that's out of the way..
This is the first release of the MOD and as such bug fixing and tweaks are expected, so anyone watching this in the future your settings may vary.
My settings on cyclic are 85% X Saturation, NO curve Floor stick.
Hopefully the collective to YAW input is tamed a slight bit, but as shown it is very useable and one aircraft you must get use to. I will do another video showing weapons use.
For more info on the MOD:

Very impressed with this mod and can’t thank the team enough for putting this together for us. The visuals look pretty good, definitely some talent here. Obviously not complete yet but certainly a high standard made here so far! Well done.
I have to say I went the opposite in my control setup to the video. I fly 500D real world but have spent time flying the 500C which is basically an OH-6. The controls real world are heavy and require muscle and heavy handling. Especially if you want to throw it around. In real life I’d only trim for a neutral centre in the hover or in the cruise otherwise I hardly use it. It’s completely opposite to flying an As350 or any hydraulic machine for that matter. With the heavy controls the articulated rotor head allows it hover very stable if trimmed right. Remember this isn’t a hydraulic controlled machine. The trim is electric otherwise it’s all on you and those manual control rods. The two bladed tail rotor which the OH-6 has is not as twitchy as a 4 bladed tail rotor which the mod feels like. So definitely dull down the pedals. Otherwise enjoy the 4 bladed bike riding feeling. Hey just my 2 cents for what it’s worth. At the end of the day it’s flys like a sports car in real life so enjoy, it’s not far off it. Thanks again!
I has been a while since I flown a 500e (for just about 600 hrs) and a bit of 530 , but I remember trimming all the time, kind of following the cyclic with my thumb. But it just can be lazy me, that does not want to fight the springs. I loved this heli and I am sooo excited to finally have a 500 for DCS. Cant wait to get home from duty to try it. And I hope that creators will put some "donate" button somewhere so I can buy them pretty big coffee.🙂.
Just saw this. Thanks for watching and the insight. Cool stuff.
Oh yes you are right. It is much more relaxed flying even in the other Helicopters.
this looks good.. 👍 just wish ED would make an official one..
Meee toooo. But the door gunner does work on this!
@@flightsimulatoradventures7246 oh cool re the door gunner.. I'm going to check this mod out or sure.. it does look great.. I should have phrased my first comment better.. I don't want to take anything away from the developers of this helo.. they've done a great job.. it's more that I would love to see an AH-6 MH-6 OH-6 Little Bird integrated into DCS and the MP servers.. I really love this helicopter.. have the other older mod.. for me this particular helo is a missed opportunity.. thanks for the video :)
@@porteous3916 totally agree.
@@flightsimulatoradventures7246 lack of AI door gunner is one of the main reasons I don't use the BH mod.
@@Gunfreak19 while understandable. You can very much fly dustoff with it. Hopefully being able to add that will come, given that it works on oh6. Time will tell
So little aft left cyclic is the trick for hover !
Bout like all the western helos 👍
You got to go back and give it a try now. 1.1 fixed issues with low to almost non existent ground effect. It will push itself off the ground now at way lower collective and transfer from transverse lift to low hover flight so much better.
Great news! Need to update yet
Hi,
have been following your project for some time and admire what you have been able to create.
The processing of the cockpit is very detailed and looks realistic.
I would like to ask if you can remove the strobe caused by the shadows of the rotor?
I am really looking forward to the next presentation, thank you. Pet
This isn’t my project. Feedback should be posted in the discord I linked in the description.
Great mod, but I get the engine warning and loss of power when applying collective, even when adding gov trim
You’re updated to v1.1 right? I’ve had this happen once or twice but only after spinning it out as things catch up when power up. Worth checking the discord if it’s known issue. 👍. It’s far from perfect but fun when it works.
I downloaded the OH-6A Version 1.2 but now, I cannot get the weapons to work. Any ideas? Thanks for the excellent video!
I have a 22 inch goose neck stick with hydraulic feedback. I always set it up to where it's not moving much and sometimes it's just a matter of giving it some pressure in any direction. I have a request in the my friend who runs the Wolf Pack 11 search and rescue server to add this in a way that doesn't require everyone to have it to enter the server.
Doing so isn’t hard to do. Easy mission lua fix. We do same on jhog and Huey community server. Let me know if you need help.
This might be "new", but the FM most likely is the absolute same - apart maybe from the ground effect code.
It flys vastly different.
@@flightsimulatoradventures7246 Interesting... But I'll still wait until the May, 21st update before I'm checking that.
Great work guys !!!! any chance for an autostart script?
Doesn’t really need it. It’s stupid fast to start. Instructions on the GitHub. But known issue is throttle axis bind isn’t working. As is there is no binding for throttle idle. It’s known bug. Hopefully fixed asap.
