Ahhh man, so mad I missed this (if only I had woken up about 40mins sooner). Just found your channel on Fri & INSTANTLY SUBSCRIBED after watching a few videos. (Your videos have had the most valuable information I've been able to find throughout my never-ending searches for "helichopper" flight instruction & instrument training). Realistically I'm SOO FAR(financially) from ever having the opportunity for flight instruction/instrument training, & @37, the military as a way to get my foot in the door is no longer an option.
I'm now looking to build a vr flight sim rig setup (probably the closest I'll ever get to the real thing) & will definitely be downloading MSFS & DCS.
- Sidenote/Quick question for you Snak pak (if you happen to read this). Have you had a chance to play Battlefield 3 on Playstation? & if so, what are your thoughts on the flight dynamics (pitch/yaw/roll) for the choppers in that game? (online multi-player specifically) I've got a little under 200 hundred hrs of strictly flying choppers in that game (that was the 🔥 starter for my strong desire to REALLY chase this dream while being my "poor man's flight simulator" (yes I'm aware its just a game, & given the amount of hrs I spent "in the air" many would criticize, but 1. Its an older game.. & 2. I've never seen what I believe to be a more realistic correlation between the collective, cyclic, antitorque controls/pedals. However I also have yet to play DCS/any modern vers. Of MSFS.
Sorry for the book☝, & THANKYOU VERY MUCH for creating this series on your channel Snak pak. This stuff is priceless information & MUCH APPRECIATED 🙏
