What is your approach to Larkin Aviation?
heywooood replied to Bothersome's topic in TAKE ON HELICOPTERS - GENERAL
this sim is just screaming for a 'fly-by' camera view... I land at Larkin the same way..in over the water and pivot 180 deg. to touch down facing the shore -
Take on Helicopters: Addon Request Thread
heywooood replied to purepassion's topic in TAKE ON HELICOPTERS - ADDONS & MODS: DISCUSSION
it might be fun to fly as a 'plane guard' attached to a carrier group...maybe a whole series of missions including ditched pilot rescue, mine sweeping and ASW hops in all weather and time of day scenarios - HH60-H and/or Sea King helo's would be welcome - All requiring a host of Naval ships and at least one carrier...so - yeah 2 weeks? -
I fly DCS Black Shark and BS2, A10, FSX, and Rise of Flight... Take on Helicopters is a great sim at the very early stages of development. It has a unique career mode, free flight, and challenges- to go with a good training segment. Could it be better? yes - Will it get better? yes - Is it worth buying now? yes Once you get it dialed in, you will have fun Taking on Helicopters

First mission chopper just drops out of the sky aft 5 mins
heywooood replied to TechnoBillyD's topic in TAKE ON HELICOPTERS - GENERAL
well I found the cure for my instance... I didn't know the controls have to be set up for each helo...so far - I only had the MD500 set up. Also - you must delete all other default inputs for each input you assign. so that if 'bank left' has the 'S' key and the 'mouse left' assigned by default and you assign your 'joystick left' - you need to delete the default stuff leaving only your assigned control. Pardon me if that is old news - something I should have known but it might help somebody else on the short bus like me. -

heywooood replied to TechnoBillyD's topic in TAKE ON HELICOPTERS - GENERAL
hmmm...for some reason I cant even lift off in this mission - even with the auto start. engines both spool up and seem to be at full throttle but raising the collective gives me no lift at all... -
Question about Flight Model
heywooood replied to Bothersome's topic in TAKE ON HELICOPTERS - GENERAL
maybe things like torque and collective effectiveness should be on a slider - to give each user their own 'feel' for whats right... like the 'realism' settings in FSX (for those who are familiar) -
Game keeps crashing in career mode
heywooood replied to Rhapsodus's topic in TAKE ON HELICOPTERS - GENERAL
I can confirm this - I had set up a profile in the beta and did not delete it...I experienced crashes in career mode until I saw this thread - deleted the old profile and created a new one and now I have no problems. Thank you Rhapsodus -
Landing in Expert Mode (Video)
heywooood replied to sarcasticpcgamer's topic in TAKE ON HELICOPTERS - GENERAL
fly the training mode 'landings' test from the VC (virtual cockpit errm 1st person view) there are three tests and the last one is the best... keep practicing until you get it and then there will be nothing you cant do from this viewpoint -

Thank you Dwarden - I look forward to the updates can you say if there will be a 'fly by' camera view added to external view options? -
