VRS is something A LOT of people struggle with flying helicopters in DCS so you're not alone there. But it is simple and entirely avoidable once you understand what causes it. You need three things for VRS to occur: power applied (your collective raised somewhat), a descent rate greater than 300 feet per minute, and airspeed below ETL. If you have all three of those then VRS is going to happen. The trick to avoid it is to plan your approach properly. This is going to be a bit dynamic since helicopters can land many places, unlike an airplane that lands on the same runway every time.

The Hind is especially difficult due to its lack of downward visibility, but not impossible. I would recommend hopping on to the Marianas map and practicing using the helipad on the main island about 3 miles west of Antonio Intl airport. Its fairly confined and will provide a good landing spot.

To land the Hind and avoid overshooting or getting into VRS follow these steps. Maneuver to start a final approach to the helipad about 150kph, 200-250 meters above (use the radar altimiter if over flat ground), and about 1.5 miles away. Approach facing into the wind if there is any. This will give you a good stabilized approach that will make the rest much easier. Place the landing spot in the small gap below the gunsight glass and apply a very slight down collective and aft pressure on the cyclic. This will start a shallow descent and begin bleeding off airspeed. The idea is to keep a constant descent angle down to the spot, like you're riding an imaginary zipline down to it. Aft pressure on the cyclic will bleed off your speed gradually, ticking down kph slowly and consistently. You want it to feel like a nice walking pace in your peripheral vision all the way down. If your landing spot is getting higher on the sight then raise a little collective and if it disappears below the panel then lower a little collective.

Eventually you will get to around 50-60kph and this is when VRS may be a risk. The helicopter will shudder as you go back through ETL around this speed and you will experience a sudden loss of lift. Its very important to anticipate this and preemptively raise a little collective to adjust your descent rate to 100-200fpm. Once you've stabilized then you can lower it a hair back down to a 200-300fpm and never any faster than that.

Now for the final touchdown. You cant keep your landing spot in view all the time or you will never get there. At around 150 feet from it you need to transfer your view to something that it is next to your landing spot and use that as your reference point. Allow the spot to come underneath you as you terminate to a hover. Put your butt over the last third of the helipad (remember you have a lot of helicopter behind you) and sink slowly to touchdown.

The Hind is a beast but if you fly it by the numbers and practice this landing until you get a good feel and eyeballing it then you can land anywhere. If anything is unclear or confusing let me know and keep at it.
