It takes a lot of practice, and I suspect that it is harder to fly a
helo sim than a real helo, though I don't know. Luckily YASim has a
pretty simple helo model so a lot of the really nasty stuff just doesn't
happen. The biggest problem that I have had is dynamic rollover. I have
also found that external views are a lot easier to learn with, and
shadows are a must since there is no other way to gauge exact altitude
near the ground.
Hi Josh, thanks for the helo exercises, I have successively (not elegantly)
taken off flown out to about 5Nm and flown back and landed. You're right,
hover is really tricky.
A few observations though; (in the Euro-copter)
a) the throttle works in reverse (what would be flat out in a cessna is
actually minimum in the Euro-copter) hence my almost landing in the middle
of the harbour.
b) the FG dsocumentation is wrong regarding rudder. It's not <0> & <,>,
but<0> and <Enter> on the numeric keypad.
apart from that it was really neat fun. Thanks for your help.
Regards
Dene
