Bloody Sim

[Disc]

All,

Okay now getting miffed by either pushing myself to hard or not enough

Inverted how the hell do you crack that one

I can now do some stuff now but other bits are sending me mad!

Any advice on easy 3D moves to try and describe the stick movements as well!

Auto's why oh why does the heli fall left a lot once on the ground. Getting used to stick in right once its on the ground.

Also doing silly low inverted 1foot hover to backwards inverted low and keeping the machine in front of me as well.... But I always stick the wrong direction in and do crash at some point.

Bloody Sim is doing my head in

Oh yea still the best sim I have ever used as well...

I have had others and never got on with them but warming to Phoenix, just wish I could run it native instead of having to reboot all the bloody time from OS to OS.

Stop whinging and practice more

Stick time!

More stick time....

just keep crashing at the moment backed off the sim for a bit...

I can say its bloody hard enough on the sim that alone with one sat out in front of me at the site. Cannot wait to try some stuff with the T-rex at the field and don't care if I crash it either

Definitely got to try an Auto as well

A trick I used when learning to fly inverted was to watch the tail when flying around, as the stick movement follows the tail rather than the nose i.e left rudder swings the tail to the left. After a while you forget about it and it becomes reflex, but I found it useful to start with.



ps. Your gasser is still going strong. Soon to be wrapped in a lovely bell 222 fuz.

Cheers,

The heli definitely seems more prone to tip over in the sim than real life.
I'm always tipping the helis over on the grpund on the sim - but I've never.....(no I'm not going to say it! )
Get negative on as soon as its on the ground to make it stick and not topple over.

Just guessing here but i had this problem for ages on the sim. I put it down to trying to almost slide it down as it came in. After watching the pro's do it they always seem to touch down with the front of the skids first and then set the back down, this was where my error was. I wasn't bringing it into a hover before placing it down simply because I wasn't slowing it up enough and then using enough collective. You'll be suprised how much hang time you can get so try bringing it down, slowing up into a hover and then setting it down. Get used to that and the tipping over will vanish.

Wether this is the correct way or not I haven't a clue but I can pretty much sit it down in front of me for the most part and no tipping 99% of the time and it also looks much more akin to how more accomplished pilots do it.

Glad to hear the Gasser is doing okay.

post some pics once its in the Bell 222

I'm hooked.... great innit.

When trying to learn new oriewntations on the sim I've been using small quick stick movements so you can see each control impot on the heli. Then when you go the wrong way you can correct quickly the other way and avoid crashing. Once oyu are keeping it flying for longer then the lkearnign is quicker.
However my nudge nudge control technique shows up on the heli in real life and doesn't look very smooth.

Just call it slow-mo crack and you'll mabe get away with it

Do you mean slow the sim down? Would that help with odd moves?

[Fixxxer]

Also use the inverted training, you can add controls one at a time until you're comfortable.

Nah, it was a joke
Alan Szabo flies "crack <insert move name here>" - moyesboys description of his flying sounded like a slowed down version...

No, it aint slowed down, its just like Szarbo - well if you look at the sticks and ignor the heli it is!
