New Video: Real life flying Part 2

Thanks once again for taking the time.
Helps a lot to understand the delicateness needed to fly in-game.

What were the other controls that were being adjusted now and again on the dashboard ?

thanks for the ride! I really enjoyed watching your flight.

Enjoy. Notice how small the control movements are, especially with the pedals.

after watching your movements, i think i have my sensitivity too high.
kidding aside, i make way more hand movement on my joystick.

Mostly changing radio frequencies. During that flight we went through two controlled airspaces (Boeing and Renton airports) as well as several uncontrolled areas that require monitoring and making radio calls for aircraft separation and safety.

Are you a righty or a lefty? Wait... Nevermind...

Another thing I would like to point everyones attention to is the lack of left pedal in forward flight. Notice how at cruise speed we actually have some right pedal in there to keep in trim. The Vertical stabilizer on the tail is countering all the torque, and then some, so now we need reverse pitch on the tail rotor to counter the vertical stabilizer. Also look how shallow and uneventful our banking is to get an effective turn, with almost no pedal needed. All the yanking and banking I need to do in the TOH demo really contrasts with reality.

Well lets hope it gets better then.

Thanks, thats the sort of information we need!

I'm of to ride my bike for a bit, gonna practice peddling on the spot

Awesome video nightsta1ker! I just flew part of the same route in-game, by following the same landmarks

is it possible to get some information at this stage of developement about the future of the horrible deathzone/sensitivity settings in TakeOnHelicopter? (you see it when you look at ingame joystick movement/behavior of fligth reaction in relation to sensitivity setting)

However, its pure fun to fly over Cheranrus & Co

Ah back when Pendulum were good... Awesome video nightsta1ker, thanks for sharing.

Don't we have a saying around here?
"No video? Then it didn't happen"!

Great video again. The new camera angle really helps demonstrate the control usage. A couple of questions...

1) What's the calculator-like object you have sitting on the map ?
2) There seems to be quite a bit of yaw around your heading once you get to altitude (from about 1:45 onwards). Is this turbulence ? Over-control on the pedals ?

I used to fly fixed wing... why do you think I got into helicopters? Besides, if fixed wing guys had that many spinning parts over their heads all the time then alot more of them would wear helmets.

Just so you could wear a helmet? I feel you
