NEW in DCS First Flight Review OH58 Kiowa helicopter by Polychop Simulations

[@cmdrpepelluce5375]

After flying heavy machines like ka-50 and mi-8 KW feels so different! Also like MFDs there, pure pleasure to operate with them

[@Jake-t4p7c]

Do you think you could set up a Discord server or something similar and host VFR trainings for helicopters?

[@RotorWingsAviation]

Fantastic!!!

[@polychopofficial]

Nice video! Thanks for the review :)

Gracias, me ha sido muy útil.

Nice review. Thank you for this. I agree to everything said by you. Tested it the same way. Same results and impressions. I can definitely recommend this helicopter.

[@monostripezebras]

It looks pretty neat.. how does it autorotate, any good?

[@thenerdyhelisimmer4608]

When I tried it floated for a long time and had very little inertia left for the flare...

Try the Oh-6 mod by Tobsten&Eightball. Most fun helicopter in DCS.

[@thenerdyhelisimmer4608]

@@blasterml Thx, I already tried it but found it to be a pain. Very fidgety and hard to control. Feels like they based it on a FM that simulates a 2-bladed Rotorsystem. The OH6 has a fully articulated RS IRL and reacts very direct to control Inputs. Brett Sumpters freeware MD500D in XP11 does a great job I think. Maybe I could tweak my controls a little bit and make it more enjoyable but then again...enjoying the Kiowa and looking forward to the Bo105

[@blasterml]

@@thenerdyhelisimmer4608 The latest version 1.4 way comfortable to hover. May be i will try the KW when they enable the 14day free trial. The Bo-105 is one of my fav too. Instant buy especially if they implement the civilian version like the HIP and Huey.

Hey! I'm looking for a helicopter flight sim community. All Discordservers are about fixed wing aircraft. Does anyone know a community for helicopters?

[@armsupwithlawrence]

Blacksharkden is a Squadron for DCS Helicopters if you wanna take a look at that

[@StrangeLoops4]

Can the weapons be removed/hidden from the dashboard? I am finding them really distracting.

[@bradleycoats3497]

In the mission editor you can remove them. And other things

@@bradleycoats3497 They belong there, its a combat loadout in case the crew has to bail like the real deal. You should get used to it.

[@Chris_OH58D]

@@witchywoman165 aaaand the left seater actually used it for very close stuff.
