It's on sale, I'm tempted :rolleyes: .

 

The only thing that keeps me on the fence is that I got the Bronco X which is a little lacking on the instrumentation clarity side. The OV10 dashboard is, on my computer at least, graphically more akin to a FS9 aircraft than to a FSX one (A2A's for instance) . Its resolution is doing some real disservice to an otherwise nice offering.

 

Of course all the Huey promotional pictures are superb but what about the real thing ? Can you read the dials/gauges reasonably well without zooming ?

I have it. It looks great on my 30 inch monitor. The Aerosoft Huey is one of the best helicopter sims on the market. Be forewarned, it's very realistic and has a learning curve. But, with Accu-Feel and with all the doors open it can't get much more real than that! The sounds are awesome!

I have it and added the Sonic Solutions sound pack, thus my blade slap is more pronounced. It is one of my favorite helicopters. Quick question, how does Accu Feel work with the helicopter? Create more shake? I am very interested, thank you.

According to the Accu-Feel website, the sounds and physics are not supported for helicopters. My bad but the sounds do sound better with Accu-Feel installed.

The VC is much better than the Bronco (I have both). And the Huey is the second best helicopter simulation after the Dodo, imo.

Thanks for your swift answers !

 

You fly the original FDE or HC HTR ?

I have question, dont have this heli, Is it as realistic as the Dodosim 206.

Does it simulate: Vortex ring state, Torque-Induced Yaw, Transverse Flow Effect, Flap Back, Translating Tendency, Dissymmetry of Lift, Induced Flow Rotor RPM modulation, Rotor Droop, Loss of Tail Rotor Effectiveness, Retreating Blade Stall, Tail wind effect on Horizontal Stabiliser.

 

If not all off them what can I expect? Vortex Ring State would be the most important for me...

Sorry. I do not have an answer to your question on what the Huey simulates. I obviously made a major mistake of stating the Aerosoft Huey is one of the best helicopter sims on the market. I like to promote products I own. The OP was asking about the VC in the Huey and not in any other helicopter. I do not own the Dodosim 206. I would suspect from your question, "is it more realistic as the Dodosim 206", you have the Dodosim 206 and you are promoting it.

 

Let's stay on topic based on the OP and not get into a discussion of other helicopters. This post is about the Aerosoft Huey and let's try to answer the OP's questions.

Oh think you misunderstood my intention by qouteing you. What triggered my intrest was that you mentioned it was realistic and had a learning curve. Im just curious, I know the dodo is the most realistic on the market, but Im also looking into other Heli sims and It doesnt have to Simulate it all just wanted to know what it can do.

And by adding the most important for me Is the Vortex Ring State because that always what get me in trouble, have crashed countless time entring it when I am about to land

 

Bought one of Nemeth Designs helicopters and felt that I wasted my money :(

 

And sorry for Hijacking the thread

If you want close to realistic, I would suggest that you investigate HTR over at Hovercontrol....

Hmm, seems to be the time to get my finger out the ... and get FSUIPC. Thanks for the tip

The aircraft is great with great detail but some people have problems with it due to a controller incompatibility. Aerosoft's "stopgap" fix of gimping the FDE turned permanent and upset some with an FDE reminiscent of the default 206.

First off... No Vortex-Ring-State typically with a 205/204 in the real world. Rotor system is big enough it displaces enough air away with those big wide rotorblades.

Retreating Blade Stall is in there for sure.

Translating tendency is kind of there. It sure feels like it wants to settle to the left when I settle down.

Dissymmetry of lift....well the 205 rotor system flaps quite a bit so even in the real helicopter this isn't 'noticed'. It's there of course, but natural cyclic inputs make it a negligible effect. I couldn't tell ya if it's explicitly 'modelled' in Aerosoft's Huey.

Induced Flow Rotor RPM modulation - It's there. Play with flight Idle and torque and you'll see a dip. Although it's not as accurate as the dodosim 206 when it comes to simulated autorotations.

Rotor Droop - Could only get this to happen at < Flight Idle.

Loss of Tail Rotor Effectiveness - It's a 205. Have you seen how far out the tailrotor is? It's got plenty of clean air. Part of what makes it a safe and stable helicopter.

Ok thanks for that explanation. Think I might buy it and check it out. If it not behave good enough. I can just use HTR from Hoovercontrol, thanks again Milviz.

I think the Huey's flight model is carefully and well done and I wouldn't switch it out with HTR. I've flown other helis with the HTR mod and it is an improvement, but none of the ones I've flown compare to either the Dodo or the Huey.
