Me too lol. Hope to get Dustoff version too!

EPIC, EPIC, EPIC, EPIC! This came of of nowhere! Just small question- does "custom flight model" mean RotorLib? Hope it does :)

Too bad, some people never mature apparently.

Cool, it's late in the night at my place, but I hope to join at least for an hour, or so. See you online and thanks!

I would love to fly as pilot. Have experience etc, actually I am flying a joint ops mission next day, so it'd be a good practice. I fly AFM, would pilot RHS UH-60. Would it be OK for me to join?

Digging this up- any options for dual screen Arma 3 pilots?

@diesel5187 It's great to hear you are improving this mod even further! One more minor feedback would be the artificial horizon display- it has very small contrast in NV, other gauges are very clear and visible on and off NV. I don't know if the fix would make it less visible in normal light conditions, but if that'd be the case, then maybe alternative lighting mode for low light use selectable via menu could be the way to go? Thanks once again guys, you make Arma fun!!!!

Yeah, MELB is addicting! I have a small request. Comming from DCS, I really appreciated a small feature helicopters had- they display a controller position (cyclic, collective, anti torque and throttle). It would be usefull when swithing controllers mid air- the pilot who is about to get controls would be able to match his input with current pilot's controllers position. The transition would go much more smooth (there is a small bug in Arma temporary increasing collective when unlocking/ locking controllers, so that'd still be an issue). The other thing is- it makes it easier to put cyclic on neutral, and for those who trim helicopters- they could trim it while on the ground. Here is what I mean (red box on top left).

OK, gentleman. I've finallly found some time to fly this beauty after a long brake. I had a blast!!!! Now my feedback regarding FM: I find left yaw tendency on hover not accented enough. I couldn't find an onboard video of Little Bird showing a anti-torque input when hovering, but I found MD 500's one, here it is I tried to make a screenshot of me hovering on and off the ground effect, but I somehow couldn't get any screenshots (yeah, I'm noob). Anyways- you can check it for yourself- it is nowhere near what we can see in the video above. Actually, the yaw itself is not that strong during hover even when anti-torque pedals are neutral. I would be gratefull if you guys could increase yaw a bit. As for transitional lift- as I understand it is not modeled by AFM, so I won't go into that. Otherwise it is really, really, really nice. Never expected Arma 3 to give me so much fun, but you guys nailed it with MELB. Thanks, great job! :wub: EDIT: Found it: Roll tendency could be pronounced a bit more too ;)

Great, thanks for answer!

GREAT idea, great execution. One request I have is actually the same across vanilla based models- Would You please consider swapping Artificial Horizon display on MFD with Navigation Compass on pilot's side? It is much easier and more intuitive to refer to AH that is situated directly in front of pilot. Thanks and congrats on what You've achieved so far!

That's some awesome news!

I know how helicopter physcis work in RL, but I was trying to explain that it is exaggerated right now.

+1 We would really appreciate an AFM addition!

I have another request, this time regarding AFM- Even with collective fully down there is too much lift generated with main rotor when pitching up. It makes impossible for rapid speed reduction/ alt descent. I think default AFM's behaviour for MH-9 could be used as good example of how that parameter is nicely balanced. Thanks!

I have the same problem. I use the lastest version (16812123). I have problem downloading mods as well, but I understand this might be a problem for a non_premium version (bandwitch is expensive). However server browsing is another story- it should work no matter what version is used IMHO.

I never wrote it's unrealistic, and I understand how MFD work. However since we don't get to change MFD's page in Arma I just suggested to fix it and make it more usefull to those of us who fly helicopters. Too bad it won't get fixed any time soon. Cheers!

OK, next question- is there any way to monitor Rotor RPM with this bird? I can see a set of small digital displays on the bottom, but they seem to remain static. Thanks!

Hello! I've just tested Your mod, and it's stunning! Great job, I am particulary impressed with how well You handled cockpits and interiors in general! Breathtaking results! Russian helicopters are just perfect, the only issue I have are UH-60 family of helicopters. Their "LCD" display has the same problem default Arma helicopters have- it has dupllicated set of diplays for pilot and copilot. The problem is, pilot would probably want his "Artificial Horizon" to be displayed in front of him (or on the right display), while other info on his left (left side display). Here is an example from RL And here is what we have in Arma . Thanks!

Thank You! I'm going to do more flying with it from now on!

Hello! Let me start with saying, that I LOVE Your work. Great addon, my favourite at the moment! I have a question regarding a Flight Model. Does it use Rotorlib at the moment (I don't think it does after my testing), and if it doesn't will it be added in the future? Thanks!

Hello! I've tried UH-1's and they have one issue- the cockpit is based on Bell 212/412 (twin engine) model, so in fact default cockpit would be more realistic IMHO. Thanks! Another issue are light in Huey- they make too much glare on a windsheld and You cannot see anything during the night. Cockpit light would be nice. Also Mi-17's artificial horizon doesn't seem to work right.

Damn, I haven't checked this thread for a while, things are looking amazing! Waiting for first release, THANK YOU GUYS!

Yeah, I will probably just buy DLC, and put some message in my sig, or something... Cheers!
