Good review. Love the down to earth narrative as a lot of tubers will just throw out acronyms out. Huge DCS Huey pilot here. The vibrations are due to overspeed. Keep her under 100. The inverter should be on instead of spare. Shaking isnt bad per say but as you said... something is configured wrong and the aircraft is telling you. The start stick position should be left and back. This is why you floated right on take off. You have your rudders down nicely. :) Watch that vertical speed as once you transition from hover to forward you will need less collective to keep it up in the air. Love your videos sir. Thank you once again. G
Hehe easy to praise when things are presented well. :) Not too much back left on the stick. That is why they have the red stick position indicator (similar to DCS) to help.
Again, another great vid! Just finished setting up a new system (i7-9700k/rtx2060) and can enjoying a completely new sim...visual and performance wise. Your videos are part of the cause lol. I wanted my xp to look as yours and am slowly getting there. Keep up the great work sir!
Your videos are great. It is also so refreshing to hear an honest opinion about price. I have bought so many add-ons only to find out they look nothing like the trailers and contain very little simulation for the price asked.
I’m glad you ended up doing the helicopter review since that is the one I voted for. :-) Don’t worry about not knowing much about flying one as I think most people don’t know how to, I know I don’t. I agree with a comment below that you were right at the red line for airspeed. Overall I think it was still a great review of the helicopter. It would have been nice to see you at least attempt a landing, even if it didn’t go well. Thanks for another great review!
you did so well on that live stream, the mic was a bit drowned out by the simulator sound..as you do more, you will be great...but you're still my favourite
Great video reviewing a helicopter. One remark on the pricing and the features. Something you did not take into account is that the shaking, the rotorwash effect on the ground and the fact you can take the gunner position and aim and fire the gun are also features. The flight model is accurate. This helicopter is according some reviewers as good as the DCS Huey which is a helicopter sim standard at the moment. Taking this in account makes for me the price to be normal for these kind of advanced sim aircraft.
Thank you Albert for your thoughts and the remark on pricing. You are probably right, but really expected a much better control panel for this price. It remains a very relative and subjective matter, but I fully take your point here.
The shaking really bad was more than likely due to you reaching the "over speed" mark. And as for the switches, I just point the mouse cursor at a switch and use the mouse wheel to flip a switch and works perfect every time for me.
I think you are shaking because the rotor RPM was below the green area for flight, you are in the caution area. I didn't see the torque level but could either be too much collective or not enough throttle/engine power.
I'm quite used to flying heli's in VR, I can fly for hours with no problems.... but that oscillation movement is going to be ....... going to be..... Bleeeuuurrrggghh
you were shaking due to overspeed. you will notice you were reaching 120knts, huey flies best between 90ktns and 110kts, at 110kts shaking will start and at 120knts plus you could lose control
It's to much $ for a 3d model, flight model, animations, textures, sound and all the features (sells his Q8Pilot Cup - only feature "it's a cup" - for 50% of what the Huey costs) .... ouch?
The math is simple. If you like both, get the aircraft and cup. If like neither, don't buy either. If you like either, get the one you like better. I would go for the cup =). By the way, I dont set the price for either the plane or even the cup.
Mate, you really need to rotate the aircraft so the sun is behind the aircraft. I cannot see the cockpit textures, and I'm watching on a 2K OLED tablet !
Download Timber61's Bell 429 (X-Plane Freeware). It's an excellent helicopter and probably the easiest to learn to fly. Once I got proficient with it, I could fly X-Plane's default Sikorsky, but I didn't like it.
Q great video but i'm having issue with setting my saitek X52 pro with this Huey can you make a video for best setting up your joystick for the Huey thank you
You set the throttle right after starting at max and leave it there. So you can do that with your mouse if you want. The governor then tries to keep the Rotor RPM constant at 100%. Some choppers have no governor in that case you need to control both throttle and collector manual. So increase throttle manual if RPM drops or rises to much. Some also have complex stabilization systems and if you set those up the wrong way strange things can happen. If you still drop RPM you pull up the collective to fast or have some settings wrong. I hope you do not try to fly a chopper using keyboard and mouse only...
hello my friend . this is not a review though . i dont know how to calll it maybe unbox? or showcase . butr not a review. you are much better when you review things that you really know. sorry thats my opinion . waiting for your nextr video
hi there i am a new subscriber here and i would like to ask you a question about this helicopter, i just got but i'm having trouble getting airborne my controller has the joystick and the throttle , but it seems to be a conflict somewhere and i don't know how to separate the throttle from the collective i would appreciate any help , thanks

Glad you enjoyed the show, and thank you so much for your tips. I will go ahead and try those out today.

Might get it just for the guns alone! Thanks for the great review.
Thanks for the great review my friend.
Very interesting and well done this helicopter.
I guess I got spoiled by the Dreamfoil 407 with all it's stabilization stuff. Flying the Huey is like learning to fly helicopters all over again.
Your videos are great. It is also so refreshing to hear an honest opinion about price. I have bought so many add-ons only to find out they look nothing like the trailers and contain very little simulation for the price asked.
Thanks Jimmy, still a great Heli if you ask me.
Your camera work and direction are stunning
Great video, thanks for sharing!!…..
I can't believe you didn't land it! LOL Nice video Sir!
Hehe, I am brave, but not that brave I guess. Thanks Manley!
I was eager to see a crash landing 😂
In the words of my kids....”Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ......that looks fun”. Another great vid.

Thank you so much Omari, you really motivate me to do more!
The UH-1 has a governer to keep RPM in the "green" I don't think it was engaged?
Thanks for the tip, I will look for it in the next flight.
nice video man
should i get the uh1 or the bell412 for xplane 11 ?
which one is better / more fun?
that shake is the start of retreating blade stall? try slowing airspeed down

I voted for the heli video, but I suck at flying them as well. Maybe I should start practising. 😁
That makes 2 of us =)
How do you get your switches looking like they should do (Chrome), my switches are dull and horrible ???
Looks great. What scenery is this?
I truly love the work you do for XP.

Looks like orbx or simply orthos
This is ORBX scenery and the airport is KOTH.

Sorry about that!
If only I was good at helis in X-plane 😔
Where is the place and airport of this video?
I flew the helicopter u get with the game and i never wanted to fly one ever again..what a disaster
The issue was likely that you had the collective mapped as throttle.

Q great video but i'm having issue with setting my saitek X52 pro with this Huey can you make a video for best setting up your joystick for the Huey thank you
I will do a tutorial on joystick setup sure.
Ok so the throttle works with the mouse, but when I add collective I lose RPM
can you help?
You set the throttle right after starting at max and leave it there. So you can do that with your mouse if you want. The governor then tries to keep the Rotor RPM constant at 100%. Some choppers have no governor in that case you need to control both throttle and collector manual. So increase throttle manual if RPM drops or rises to much.

If you still drop RPM you pull up the collective to fast or have some settings wrong.
I hope you do not try to fly a chopper using keyboard and mouse only...
@@pa4tim Day 7 and I'm back to square one! When I try to add throttle RPM drops off and I have to restart!
@@pa4tim My joystick is a extreem 3d pro (older) with only one throttle control
Tks
hello my friend . this is not a review though . i dont know how to calll it maybe unbox? or showcase . butr not a review. you are much better when you review things that you really know. sorry thats my opinion . waiting for your nextr video
hi there i am a new subscriber here and i would like to ask you a question about this helicopter, i just got but i'm having trouble getting airborne
my controller has the joystick and the throttle , but it seems to be a conflict somewhere and i don't know how to separate the throttle from the collective
i would appreciate any help , thanks
The collective would be your throttle access, and You will need another axis for the throttle.
the shaking is you over speeding
I HAVE A THING TO SAY... DONT GET EMAILS FROM XPLANE ORG. I JUST GOT A VERY INNAPROPRIATE EMAIL FROM XPLANE ORG. I DELETED IT! DONT DO IT GUYS. ITS FULL OF SPAM!🤔
looks exactly like the one from DCS World
Yes it does, it feels almost the same too, at least when crashing them =)
