***left hand throttle is engine power/RPM, right hand is collective

Just curious why not use the slider(s) on the throttle for engine power? I found I never touch it once started. But then I also use the buttons on the left grip plus the switch is perfect for ack witch is used quite a lot as I'm sure you know.

I will say, this module brought me into dcs, i do fly helis in a lot of other games with my fancy joystick/collective setup, and in about 6 hours total i was able to setup my binds, pick up flying, landing, usage of the nav panel, and deployment of most of the weapons, ive not yet learned the hellfire admittedly, but the APKWS certainly does the job I need in most instances so far. I was always pretty intimidated by dcs, ive got a few other heli modules, but the ease ive experienced through this is inspiring me to finally learn those other modules once ive got this one down a bit more. Really cool game, im glad i finally got into it

Welcome to DCS. We’ve been waiting for the Kiowa for a very long time but boy, was it worth it!

For learning helicopters in DCS, the best approach I've found is taking off and landing from rooftop to rooftop. There's four low buildings northwest of runway 33 at Gudata in Caucuses that's my training ground.

Extreamly easy to learn and easiest DCS helicopter to fly, with Yaw and pitch damping enabled. But it's gone from, I'm not sure that I'm going to buy it.... to my number 1 helicopter, even replacing my favourite helicopters modules, the AH64D Apache and Huey!!! Simply love it. If you are on the fence, or not got into DCS helicopters yet, then the Polychop OH-58D Kiowa is a good-looking and fantastic module.

Easiest and for me and the most fun. Polychop did an outstanding job with the AI pilot. The KA-50 is stable but not very maneuverable and the Apache in my opinion is the opposite. I've had the Gazelle for almost a year and still crash 50% of the time taking off.😅

And the first thing I do getting in either a plane, a helicopter... or a car in a car sim - I turn every bit of artificial stability BS off. After all, we're not flying or driving them for real, so might as well enjoy the raw controls while we can.

I think… Cosmo’s video on Kiowa setup suggests one does not ‘really’ need an axis for the Kiowa throttle; as in normal use, apparently, you just set it to full (100%) and leave it! So, following his suggestion, have throttle bound to a three way, for Closed, Idle & Full 🤷🏻‍♂ As my collective is on a Warthog throttle; it helps by avoiding ‘inadvertently’ knocking my throttle whilst managing my collective 🤷🏻‍♂ (Until, of course, one wants to practice autorotations)

Certainly. And my suggestion was my setup only. Not the Bible of how to fly the helicopter per se. I like the throttle bound that way because it's easier to find in VR

Pretty much the only use for the throttle axis is when you fly governor-less helicopters (really light and basic ones with piston engines). I think the only two addons I appreciated to fly using all five axes were the Schweizer S300 for X-Plane and the Bell 47G for MFS.

I wouldn't say it's the easiest, it only seems like it, because most of us have flown other helicopters in DCS before and that translates really well. What it has going for it, is its agility, while not being as squirrely as the Gazelle. At the same time handling closer to the Huey with the advantage of SCAS and modern avionics and not as heavy as the Apache, Hind or Mi-8.😊

The Blackhawk mod is free and a little bit easier to fly. for learning you could use that. The Kiowa is a bit less agile and gets instable at high speeds more easy. You also have to do more foot work (rudder) with it at low speeds and in hover.

Most people even if they manage to fly just dont understand whats actually going on with the helicopter and looking to be told how to do everything, sometimes you just have to get a feel and understand it your self or you will always struggle. And stop flying the bad ones, that will just teach you bad habits... Go fly the bad ones once you learn a good one. Mi8, Kiowa, Hind, Apache... those four are all pretty good, never perfect but very good. The rest are either compromised or down right terrible. KA50 I'll say is good, but due to its own limitations, its so heavily dampened its just not a great experience even if its a good module. I can pretty much fly any of them in DCS, may need to get back in to some of them and fly more to get back in to it but I can fly all of the helicopters if I need to. Kiowa, Mi8 and Hind are my favorites, the Apache would be there too, main issue is often how much of a performance hog it is more than anything and I got a pretty darn good PC. "But but but the Huey...." I hear people say... the frickin thing flies like its gotten 6 bladed rotor system and 5 times the power... it went to being a bit underpowered to now being crazy. VNE is 110 knots... and this thing will easily push 140+... Kiowa cruise is like max 110 kts to be realistic and preferably 80 to 90 kts especially with doors off. About collective, its not needed at all. I run a X56 now, I've had X55 Rhino and Warthog as well... collective would be nice but then you have to relocate all of your controls and its just more money for little gain. I even flew helicopters without governor, works just fine!

I have to agree with you - liked this UH-1 at first, but after the Nimbus' implementation it just does not cut it anymore. And it looks like DCS barely accounts for CoG changes at all.

It is quite easy to fly and really only has 3 weapons. It's fun but the novelty will quickly fall off. Don't think it's worth the $69.99 price.
