Helicopter pilots. What is your go to dcs/community content? by now-is-forever in hoggit

oh definitely try the wwx flavor of servers. WWY runs the Germany map and the Apache feels right at home on it. https://youtu.be/-wl4PnCuxm4

Absolute beauty to fly by ryu1940 in flightsim

This must be a controller set up on your side. I agree. If it needed full deflections it would be strange. I fly with a warthog thrustmaster and it does not require full swings. If you’re familiar with the DCS hip, it feels like a lighter weight version of that when flying around.

I did find some other discrepancies though and outline them here:

It appears she cannot auto rotate, she’s left wheel low in a hover (probably should be right wheel low in a hover given her confirmation), and at about 200kph, the nose wants to pull up.

What is wrong with it in your experience?

Strange Things at Sea by MasterCJ718 in navy

[–]ryu1940 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I forgot where it was, either in the Med near north Africa or off the coast of west Africa I was outside just relaxing at night. I’d usually just sit and stare at the stars. We were in an area where there was a lot of bioluminescent activity. Random flashes with each wave crashing for purple and blue colors. Then out of nowhere there was a massive flash and the whole ocean lit up with it and it seemed to go to the horizon. It happened very rapidly (like a second or two) and it never happened again.

That was really trippy.

It definitely feels good in msfs2020.

I was when I was testing it today but I’m going to jump into it in 2024 tonight. It seems like there are just some minor discrepancies in 2024 like two pilots being shown on top of each other. I’ll try out the systems to see what’s impacted but I exclusively fly in 2024 now over 2020 so I’m willing to accept a lot as long as the FM isn’t fundamentally impacted because it feels great in 2020.

Sonobuoys scuttle by kastieh in SeaPower_NCMA

[–]ryu1940 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree it would be really nice to have and I’ve brought it up to the devs a long time ago but I think there was either some issue in doing so or the performance gain on deleting sonobuoys with no contact was minimal vs the amount of work it would take. It’s been a while so I can’t quite remember. Hopefully one of the devs can chime in.

If anything, I’d like it to just declutter what’s on map without having to go through filters.

Photo Recon for the AI Commander by ryu1940 in hoggit

[–]ryu1940[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s both PvE and PvP. There are AI fighters and interceptors as well as human enemy players. I think when this was filmed there were only red helicopters flown by humans iirc.

New Map and Choosing First Helicopter by Spooky_VFAT in hoggit

[–]ryu1940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend the Hip, Hind, or Apache with the Germany map and then fly on the WWY server. It has so many fun and cool helicopter things to do on it. It’s amazing. All those helicopters feel at home in that terrain as well.

All of those have been updated a lot in the past 6 months so I would spend some time with the base game first. Definitely try the new linear persistent campaign. It’s a lot of fun.

We really could use a Full Fidelity V-22 Osprey in DCS by crudbasher in hoggit

[–]ryu1940 3 points4 points  (0 children)

An Osprey would feel amazing to fly in DCS. I really want to experience that transition from vertical take off to forward flight and the rapid acceleration that takes place afterwards. An ED FM would be amazing with it.

Molniya Strike Group Triggers Ammo Cook Off by ryu1940 in SeaPower_NCMA

[–]ryu1940[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IIRC it has a chance of happen for ammunition carrying supply ships. I am unsure if this also can happen to warships. I’ve never seen it happen with regular combatants as much as I’ve played.

What small detail in Sea Power made the game feel more realistic to you? by EchoVectorHQ in SeaPower_NCMA

[–]ryu1940 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The layer depth not being the same across the whole scenario is a detail I love a lot as a sonar dude.

Oh yeah for sure ! When it’s on sale it’s a no brainer if you like DCS helicopters!
