I just got to this part of the tutorial and I was definitely not “flight ready” and had to take things extremely slow…I’m sure going to have to practice
Another great tutorial video! Thanks for putting this out. The models Look nice. But i still prefer the ability to use pedals and flight stick like arma 3 over an xbox controller.
Was able to get my stick working by editing the playerInputs.conf file in my docs>games>arma. Wasnt able to use pedals at same tine due to it messing up. Maybe can tinker with it to figure it out. Collective seems to only work as a button aka fully down or fully up.
I’m not knocking this guy at all, very informative video. In my experience though you don’t want to get too used to using auto hover when landing. It is a very easy way to get you shot down. Controls become numb and sometimes it’ll get stuck with how buggy the servers can be. Once you grasp the concept of flying you’ll want to practice j-hooks. They are the answer to landing 90% of the time in combat situations. All it is is turn in direction you intend while holding rudder for that side, at the same time input collective down as needed, usually holding it for a bit as your making your turn than tapping as needed. Again great video, I used it when I first started flying, these are just my suggestions. Be safe, have fun.
Just starting this game on XSX cant wait to milsim but.....wtf isnt there full controller button mapping for everything??? That would fix all these issues
Ok, so there's a long way to go with the development of Reforgers gamepad controller support. The Heli controls are ok, but infantry controls need a lot of work. If you can, plug a mouse and keyboard in.
Auto hover is how u get rpgs to the face tilt your nose up directly after high speeds then straighten back out before your heli launches backwards doesn’t take nearly as long to land
Hi Scalespeeder, could you do a video about how specifically to add The Syberia Project to a Nitrado server? It's not a straightforward install. I followed the video about how to install it on a LOCAL server but it seems that process doesn't work on a Nitrado server (I tried but no go).
Im a little confused as to why the collective stays maxed out when flying sometimes. It is really annoying me, because often when I try to land it gains a lot of altitude because the collective stays maxed up without me even pressing down the rshift button. Any idea why this is the case in arma reforger? Is there a way to change it so that it doesnt automarically stay maxed when flying? Am I the only one who thinks this is odd or is there something Im missing?
Well explained!.. but the Reforger helicopter aren't created for console shooter kids ( which know just unrealistic helicopter like the ones in Wildlands or Breakpoint). The Reforger helicopter flight dynamics/model is close to perfect for such a combat simulator (in fact, flight simulator or x-plane don't show much better flight dynamic models! ). A helicopter (contrary to an airplane!) constantly shows an "unbalanced" flight; means you as pilot have to anticipate the behaviour of the helicopter... minor flight corrections are necessary to stop the helicopter going into a difficult to master flight situation. In the video, your flight speed for the approach is too fast; therefore you get so much height over ground while trying to slow down the heli and reaching a decent height for the final. When you approach the landing point/zone you have to start far ahead to reduce speed and prepare for the landing. When you are about 1m over the ground, you have to stop horizontal and vertical movement ( for experienced pilots a slow forward movement is acceptable!); now you are in the most critical and unbalanced flight situation(!). Minor correction with the collective will reduce height over ground and the helicopter will sink to the ground; constantly controlled by the rudder (tail rotor) and the main rotor pitch... Flying a helicopter means preplanning the next two steps!
@@stickyrice7643 its best to leave flying tutorials who actually knows how to fly, this was just an example of a guy of his first time flying. Here is a free tip, never use autohover, and never take heli with such flying skills like in this video in multiplayer game. If you want to learn to fly helis, there are pretty good tutorials if you look at arma 3 heli tutorials
Great tutorial!!! Thanks a lot, Scalespeeder!!!

This was really good. I was freaking out at first and kept crashing. Thanks. BTW, 'R' stops/starts the engine.
Cool video. Any plans to do an advanced landing video? This was great for getting me flying but would love decent instructions on J-hook landings etc

2024 and still waiting for Hotas compatibility in reforger 😅😅

learning how to fly helicopter by myself but this video helps a lot
This is such a helpful video. Thank you for sharing.

Hi! , one question, when I try to turn off the huey it doesn't, how you can turn it of ?
Click hold left stick then tap X
Auto hover is how u get rpgs to the face tilt your nose up directly after high speeds then straighten back out before your heli launches backwards doesn’t take nearly as long to land
Me and some mates are already doinf barrelrolls and flips 😂. Fun fact it's possible to flip over a treeline then land to drop off troops on one motion
Barrel roll into a j turn!
Do you know how to remove the enery bar on the carector in game master mode ?

good video - thanks - do you know if joysticks are supported (xbox) ?
I don’t think they are on any platform yet

how did you open the setting when you got in the heli?
since when did the update drop i thought this was only on the experimental server?
I should have madr it clearer that official helis are on experimental now, official soon.
Took me 3 times to land without dying on the tutorial on console lol
🎉thanks
Howwww do I change perspectives on xbox 😭😭😭
I love you
Jesus Loves You
Amen brother 🙏🏽❤️
Amen
Amen
Not a compliment I was expecting to see here but… amen
Ok?
i fly helicopters in DCS, but it definitely does not transfer to this game
How do you shut the helicopter off lol
press and hold left stick+X

Bro thanks for sharing!
Very hard game to play and the community is even meaner to play with. I’ll just wait to get a pc and play with ppl who might help me out.
you’ve just got to find a good community with a good server, you can then ask anyone and they’ll most likely help you out
Why can't they make it simple just like any other game like battle feiled and so on
Because arma is a milsim game. The heli in this game is already painfully simple compared to other sims
"proper heli flying" lets hope you are not flying in multiplayer :D
I mean it is proper flying, he's not showing you how to hook or anything, just showing the basics of flying...

@@poeteveryone4364upload a tutorial or just be quiet
Aw man controller :(
No HOTAS support so a no from me
Bruh
@@EdibleRockingChair I'd settle just for a single joystick rather than a controller at this stage.
@@john6203 I just plug a keyboard into my Xbox to fly since the mapping sucks lol
i love flying the huey in DCS, but when i fiddled around with the arma version. i find its very game assistant heavy.
How on earth do you get a helicopter to begin with. None of this helps if I can't spawn a heli. Another failure and thumbs down.
Found this the hard way. Gotta get your rank up to sergeant and then at the MOB one of the things spawn helicopters
Go into game master in an empty server. Best way to get flight time. GL bud.
