Hello! Is it better than the Cowan 500e?
@flightsoficarus 3 күн бұрын
Whether or not it is better than the 500e is pretty subjective to personal opinion and I've not flown the 500e much since it had it;s big update a while back. They're fairly even in terms of quality, which is surprising as they're made by the same people. If I were to choose which between the two which one I wanted to fly I'd probably pick the R66 over the 500e, but I'm sure there are many others who'd choose the 500e.

Apparently, the rear elevator is controlled automatically. It slants down in slow flight so that the rotor wash doesn't push the tail down, and it flattens out as the ship picks up speed.
@flightsoficarus 3 күн бұрын
Yes, I gathered this from flying the DCS version. However, with this version, the elevator doesn't move regardless of air speed. It is still in development though, so hopefully this will be addressed in due course.

Question how did you get the outside view screen showing in on the cockpit view both at the same time. Is this on the same screen and can the outside and inside view both be seen in VR?

I recorded the inside shot in VR while flying with OBS studio and at the same time recorded the flight with SkyDolly. I then replayed the flight in 2D with from the SkyDolly recording in external view and recorded that again with OBS studio. Then it's just a case of finding key points I can use to sync the 2 up.

DOES VOR NAVIGATION WORK? CAN YOU MAKE A TUTORIAL
@flightsoficarus Ай бұрын
Great question. I confess it's been a while since I did any VOR navigation, I mostly fly VFR or using GPS but I just had a go and yes you can. However, from my initial look around the cockpit it appears that you use the traditional avionics, you can only set up NAV1. If you want to use NAV1 & NAV2 you'll need to switch to modern avionics on the tablet by the copilots seat. But it might be a useful thing to do a tutorial video.

@@flightsoficarus I THINK A VOR NAVIGATION FLIGHT IS VERY EXCITING, AND I ALWAYS WONDER IF THE AIRCRAFT SUFFERS A GPS BREAKDOWN OR A SHOT IN THAT ELECTRONICS PART, HOW WE WILL DRIVE IT.

@flightsoficarus Ай бұрын
VOR relies on the radio so suseptable to the same kinds of failures as GPS but it's it's a valuable skill that's definetly worth learning. Your ultimate fallback navigation is going to be VFR. If you plan your flight and work out bearings, estimated flight times and landmarks you can navigate quite effectively but you need to be paying attention. If you fly the bush trips, this is generally all setup for you, although there are no helicopter bush trips in the base game that I'm aware of 😔. You can just turn off the GPS and follow the flight log. It does take some practice though.

This was a great review. I really like the Chinook much like all of Miltech’s products but I really wish they could do a better job on their metal switches. As I mentioned on your newer video of the Taog’s Hanger Huey, that is a great example of lifelike looking switches.
@johnwicks4936 Ай бұрын
Looks nice, but I’m waiting for the Blackbird Simulations version. I believe it will be more of a study level version. Also it’s going to have working guns and rockets :). On a side note why are some devs like this one able to make metal switches look so lifelike but Miltech and DC Designs can’t. Their switches always look fake and cartoon like. I really like the Chinook but those overhead switches are just bad.
@flightsoficarus Ай бұрын
The Blackbird version does look good. I'm always up for a study level model but I'm not so enthused by the guns and rockets. The Shrike 530F was developed by a branch of Blackbird and although the weapons made noises and had flashing light effects, the nature of MSFS makes them a little lack luster. MSFS just isn't built for it. But I'm more interested in the aircraft than the ordinance and if it's as good as the previews suggest then it should be a good module.

Nice review. I've been pretty much flying this non-stop since it came out, def one of my favs if not my fav helicopter in the sim to date - and I own them all bar the scam releases! As far as the Msfs flight model goes, it's probably the best use of it I've seen so far, and coupled with a great frame rate in VR, sounds etc, it's really been hard even thinking of flying anything else this weekend! The flight model however did have me a little dubious before release, and i'm glad it turned out to be so surprisingly good, for not injecting in an external model. The price is also pretty good value imo, I can imagine the Blackbird release being a bit pricier, and given the features with this - it really would need to bring something new to the table to make it's release in any way competitive with this. Even if it's a different model of UH-1. Happy flying!

Thanks for the positive feedback. While the MSFS heli flight model has it's shortcomings, some developers are really starting to figure out how to get the best out of it and this is definitely a great example of what can be achieved.

The Hype helos are nice modules. They've done some great work on the autopilot, making flying them pretty stress free. Helos without autopilot, or ones where the developer hasn't been able to implement it, can be a bit more of a handful but once you get used to the flight dynamics it becomes second nature. I've only encountered 2 helo modules in MSFS, which I consider unflyable or flyable but not worth the effort.

Honestly Nemeth set the bar super low for me with the P68, being rated on the type IRL, I checked youtube videos to decide if it was worth the investment. I was shocked to see someone is selling planes that won't even run correctly with normal ops. For the small price tag, the least I expect is the plane to follow the speeds as per POH or not startup with the fuel shutoff being closed. Nevertheless it seems to be a trend where they love to delivery products not worthy of a "beta" tag- if only stores were moderating such scams as I would call it. Now with the Schweizer, I didn't notice if you started with the clutch engaged but the rotors shouldn't go with the engine start and the sounds themselves are super inaccurate. I've flown the S269 variant and it runs the same lycoming engine off a cessna so you can guess how it should sound, but they seem to have ripped sounds off an R44. And I've never seen the engine fluctuate at startup

Thanks for the video. I was looking into auto gyros and saw most are pushers where if a rogue high wind may hit from the rear can make the gyroplanes fall out of the sky, while the tractor style auto gyros prevents that from happening. But i guess the pushers are more desirable due to the landscape views. The style that you're flying is called a scorpion if im not mistaken and it was designed in a closed cabin two seater. It was meant to be for law enforcement, but something happened and never went through or maybe they're perfecring their designs? Wonder which is faster, gyroplans that are pushers or the modern tractor scorpion or just a tractor auto gyro? Thanks for this video.
