Fun chopper to fly, but can get a bit exhausting.

Trim, trim some more and trim again. Each time you do something to the collective. But it's rewarding to make that thing behave. I still can't hover precisely at a given altitude but at least I can pick up sling loads (at least most of the time... and don't ask about delivering them in one peace...).
What annoys me is that we are still lacking multiplayer crews on it, can't see what's inside the cabin (passengers, cargo) and that the AI gunners are obviously high on something as they can't shoot straight. Bloody useless.
Another thing is that no one should spawn or use a big weapons if any Huey has a sling load. Otherwise the lag will desync the Huey and the sling load and that WILL tear the chopper apart if it doesn't jettison the load pretty much immediately. Which makes that feature bloody useless again on any public server.

And last there is surprisingly little stuff for it to download regarding missions and campaigns.

I agree, it's very rewarding feeling when you get the thing fly straigth.

MP crews would be great, flying alone is not very fun. Not to mention, the gunners would give the pilot feedback whether it's clear to land etc.

Not quite useless, if it wasn't for your door gunners opening up on the AAA truck in that mission with Hunter and the Dam I'd never have seen the truck until it took my rotors off. So they're good for target marking.

Oh wow, in all my time at subsim (mostly as a lurker) I never even saw this DCS section. I have been flying in DCS for years now.

Any of you frequent the 104th server or the blueflag campaign (on hiatus due to 1.5 bugs)?

You all still do this? Kinda late to the party, but I'm just getting into DCS lol

Echo. Haha.


Got some time over the next few weeks and a new headset/mic coming in in a couple days. If anybody wants to hop on a server, shoot me a message!
