- A short video showing some basics for flying Helicopters in MSFS. Feel free to comment if you have any suggestions for what you'd like to see. I'm no instructor but just trying to help pass on any knowledge to help you get started.

Nice simple but informative video. I think it would be good if you included Picture in Picture with your control inputs. Just as you have done in some of your videos.
@@MagnusThornberg thanks. Yep I can do another with the picture in picture sometime if that's helpful.
@@simonclark7082 I have to buy anti torque pedals in the fall. I have tried twist grip but it so hard to be gentle with the cyclic when you have to twist the grip at the same time.
My collective/throttle is a small stick on the left of my joystick. It is so sensitive and I have really hard time to hover. I couple of mm and you go up or down. I can’t really feel any in ground effect (the bubble) they describe. The only helicopter I have felt it are in the stock Bell 407.
I can’t get enough of your videos like the last one when you are landing and taking off. It’s so fluid🙏
I’m excited for 2024 and all of the helicopter stuff that’s coming. Sling loading and rescuing. I really hopes that you are not forced in to any campaign or career.
If you haven’t seen the channel UpsideDownWash on RUclips you need to😁 A Norwegian Squirrel (h125) sling loader. He has many incredible videos from his work in the fjords of Norway. The landscape is much like New Zealand they say.
One of his videos he shows the cyclic sensitivity of the helicopter. And how stable it is in trim with the friction knob is tight. He adjust the friction depending on what he is doing. When sling loading he seems to have it free and when transporting a little bit tighter. You learn tons of stuff just to watch him work. Like his collective hand rest the thumb on the seat to be more precise. The resting cyclic hand in his leg and so on.
Another good vid would be on transitioning.
I've found students have a hard time dealing with inflow-roll, flapback, and onset of ETL while remaining outside the dead-man's curve. Knowing how they work and how to minimise the work on the helicopter is good fundamental knowledge.
Thanks mate. Yeah I'm thinking of trying to do a series of short hopefully informative videos to help those starting out. I'll need to brush up on the physics involved too 😂
Great tips Simon! Flying heli's IRL well requires all of your senses (well, maybe not smell and taste 😉).
@@murraydreyer235 thanks alot. I'm pretty sure it would be disappointing if I couldn't smell the jet a1 burning. 😂
I'd love to see a video doing a confined area. Are you familiar with PSWATC/P procedures?
Powercheck, Payload and Permission
Size, Shape, Slope, Surface, Sun/Shadow and Surrounds
Wind and Wires
Approach and Abort points
Take-off and Termination(Landing) points
Circuit (establish an upwind, crosswind, and downwind leg with ground references to have a final approach path that's as good as can be given the terrain and wind)
You carry that out while orbiting over the site 500ft AGL
I'm not familiar with that as I've had no official helicopter training. But it makes sense.
In fixed wing we have a list of procedures before commencing aerobatics routines, different of course but similar in that it's an assessment of all the factors.
It's something I'll look at learning
If it will be of help to others as well. I'll start off simple and work up.
Another cool video mate, thanks for sharing. What would your complete setup cost roughly?
@@adamschmidt8050 thanks alot. Hard to say off the top of my head. I have the Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog with the stick grip now on a VPforce Rhino force feedback base and the collective and pedals is a heavily modified old max flight stick jetranger set. The rhino is about 900 euros but absolutely worth it for serious Simming with the Warthog I've had for years. Not sure what it's worth at the moment.
Good job on this Video! Where is this area in MSFS? Cheers!
Thanks. It's just north of Poronui Station, which is South East of Taupo in New Zealand. I have added some 1m Elevation mesh to the area and then use Arcgis overlay in MSFS Map Enhancement.
Iam using vr too, how do you stream and make vr videos on FS?
Just use OBS for recording. It's easy to use.
@@simonclark7082 iam using a meta quest 3 with cable link. Not sure if works
@@The_Fabio_Fernandes obs just records what's in the screen so if you have VR view mirrored on screen it will work
