AH-94 Flight School: The Basics (VTOL VR)

[@CupidGaming522]

As I've heard real life pilots say: Fighters use physics, helicopters you have to beat into submission

[@lights_carbon_action]

Too accurate. If you beat too hard, it fights back.

[@allanblack8635]

You beat them into submission with a gental two fingers touch.

[@chalk6ix_nz950]

The center indicator with the blue top and brown bottom is called the Artificial Horizon. it shows you the attitude (NOT ALTITUDE) of the aircraft and where the horizon is in relation to you (really REALLY helpful when flying at night when both the ground AND the sky both have lights and you lose spatial orientation and become confused where the ground is and not sure if you're pointing the nose up or down).

[@3ch0_17]

Easy tip for quick hard core manuevers: Drop the collective to zero before you yank the stick. This prevents your downside rotor from stalling, causing you to flip uncontrollably

[@vincentvoncarnap]

Not called the meatball, but fpm (flight path marker). meatball is the glide-slope alignment indicator for carriers.

[@lights_carbon_action]

This is true. I’m an idiot tho and forgot to look up any terminology before recording lmao.

[@SHARDHAWK408]

Some will wonder why their rotors aren’t spinning, don’t forget the rotor brake 😂. Other than that great vid!

[@lights_carbon_action]

Lmao my bad 😂

[@EricS2000]

amazing video i found this super helpful. like you mentioned cutting the collective for a sharper turn seemed counter intuitive to me at first but (as dumb as it sounds) I thought of it as clutch kicking to induce a drift in a car and it helped me get used to it a lot quicker. again amazing video im looking forward to watching more of these with a friend to have a fully combat operational AH-94

[@lights_carbon_action]

I’m so happy you got it. It is exactly like clutch kicking. I’m hoping to work on some more videos around live fire and cooperative action so stay tuned.

[@Halfstronaut]

horizontal situation indicator

[@lights_carbon_action]

Thank you I’m an idiot lmao

[@MrRolnicek]

For new pilots you should really mention the Flight Assist dial (I believe that's what it is anyway) and how they should always crank it up to the max.

[@lights_carbon_action]

Great idea. The SAS dial is one of those things that I haven’t covered yet. As far as I know, it should be max by default. I will go over that and other thing like trim in the advanced tutorial

[@theredgamer9336]

@@lights_carbon_action Yooo, i've been wondering what that is. Normally it seems to be at the middle position (at least for me).

[@lights_carbon_action]

@@theredgamer9336 I would suggest increasing it to max especially if you are using heavy loadouts. SAS is an absolute lifesaver with that weight

[@TheDekotopGaming]

can't wait for the advanced movement tutorial

[@trodd77]

I wish it was that clear in VR

[@lights_carbon_action]

Yeah being fully immersed in the flight can be a bit disorienting at first. It is so much easier to fly in desktop with all the info right in front of you.

[@MontyPlayz]

2:02 pretty sure its the attitude indicator

[@lights_carbon_action]

I figured out that it’s called an HSI or horizontal situation indicator. It tells you your pitch, roll, and yaw when using IFR.

[@jenyaftw]

Banger intro dude

[@BroThinkHeJohnFootball]

Sick intro

[@chalk6ix_nz950]

And on another note, how are you able to keep the aircraft so steady in flight? When I fly, the helicopter is so sensitive, it moves around like a troubled child on crack and is hard to keep on a level flight.

[@lights_carbon_action]

Lmaoooo I rest my controller on the arm of my chair and gently adjust it. It also helps to crank the SAS dial all the way up to help keep it stable. I go over that in the advanced movement tutorial.

[@Dyskord1]

best advice a saw from another vid is to go into the game menu on the mfd and set the joystick sensitivity to .6, it still lets you use the full range but really helps to smooth out the very small adjustments. if its not sensitive enough for you, you can split the difference and set it to .8, default is 1.

[@Ghosthunter578]

how do i stop my copter from just spinning in a circle. it will not hover

[@lights_carbon_action]

Check your SAS dial. It should be at half power to start but you will want to crank it to full. It is found at the front left of your main control panel

[@Ghosthunter578]

@@lights_carbon_action ok ill try that .

[@frankkraetz4258]

Learned a lot! Very cool. More please 😊

[@lights_carbon_action]

More is on the way! Stay tuned and don’t forget to check out the discord

[@flying__goose24]

love you man

[@dubyaaa]

Nice Livery! 😉

[@lights_carbon_action]

Hell yeah man! I love the stuff you make for all the aircraft. Hands down the best there is.

[@pekwalker]

Which controllers are you using?

[@lights_carbon_action]

I’m using my Rift S controllers. They are a bit old but they work ok.

[@KTG1000]

cool video but you didnt go over torque and that stuff

[@lights_carbon_action]

I touched on it very briefly, but I did not go over it as in-depth as I should have. I’ll go over that more in the advanced movement tutorial.

[@KTG1000]

@@lights_carbon_action thanks 😁

[@hugacreeper69110]

hardest intro ive ever seen

[@lights_carbon_action]

Hell yeah brother

[@michaelwestmoreland2530]

Just starting video. Having aced Gunship 2000 I was beyond eager and cocky. I can't get this thing to do ANYTHING I WANT, AND IT'S KILLING ME. If this video fixes me, I'm going to Super Thanks you every dime I can spare.

[@lights_carbon_action]

Lmaooo I feel that. Just take your time and be patient with yourself. You’ll get it man I believe

[@FlockersDesign]

Funny he makes this but doesnt even touch on the trimming the most impirtent part

[@lights_carbon_action]

It is definitely important and I will admit I forgot about it. I’ll go over it in the advanced tutorial along with any of the other things I missed

[@illumi747]

good tutorial, but you should've gone over how to fast start

[@lights_carbon_action]

That's a great tactic that I'll be going over in the advanced flight video. The timing can be a bit more difficult for beginner pilots to get down so I figured I would leave it for now.

[@knightry_]

muisc needs to turn down

[@lights_carbon_action]

Thanks for the input. I was a bit worried about that so I’ll tone it down in the future.

[@vincentvoncarnap]

generally, this music was unnecessary

[@allanblack8635]

Great content. Got a sub out of me. Keep it up.

[@lights_carbon_action]

Glad you like it. I’ll be posting a bunch more content soon so stay tuned.

[@yxngchris322]

Bro the music too loud

[@lights_carbon_action]

Yeah that’s what a ton of people were saying. I changed it up for future vids so you can actually understand me. Hope you enjoyed anyway
