Who ever said there is no force feedback in a real helicopter is clearly not a helicopter pilot.

Look, I don't want to talk down on the FFBeast, but I can say as a Rhino owner, GET THE RHINO. The software is SO much better and the amount of effects, features, and tunability Walmis put into his software is worth it alone. Also, while the FFBeast does advertise higher torque, trust me, the Rhino has PLENTY. Almost too much in some cases. Again, the software alone is the biggest reason I went with the Rhino and I am very... very happy I went this route. The FFBeast software is primitive compared to the VPForce Rhino. For instance, the Rhino can do ETL effects (vital for helicopter flight), g force effects (of course, like all FFB sticks can), gun shake, hydraulic buzz, wind buffeting, bomb/missile release thuds, and much, much more. The software is just much more mature.

The Huey is my favourite helicopter of all time and i love that you make so many videos about it

Glad to hear that FFBeat is a success and sells well 👍

I have been really into helos in the last few years. I was using a spring loaded stick for a little while. I ended up cutting the spring and modifying the action to give it some friction. That worked wonders. Wasn't too great for flying fixed wing though, or drones. So, I stuck a megaton of the weakest, lowest tension rubber bands I could find on there. I did six directions, and then I used a band that was stabilizing in multiple directions, and a super loose band to counter balance that. Now, I have buttery smooth movement, no more of the jerky nature of the spring, but there is still a return to center and force to it. For force trimming, I have a small notch in what used to hold the spring in place, and I can position that so it changes the tension on the bands. Super cheap, all done with stuff I had around the house, and a $20 joystick. Best flight sim experience I've ever had, including using much higher end gear. I don't say this to say, hey, you don't need that FFB fanciness... actually, to the contrary, that feeling in the stick, the friction, the smooth action, YOU WILL NOT GET THAT IN A SPRING LOADED STICK! I had to cut up a joystick and make a sacrifice. My spring loaded stick can now only really do helicopters, and it still has a very dead stick feeling to it. An FFB stick can do whatever you set it up to do. I've seen a few people making FFB shifters for trucksim. The options are limitless. Small GA aircraft, or large military helos, can all be simulated properly with the proper immersion, and all of the correct forces applied. I think that outside of butchering a spring stick, an FFB stick is a must for helo fans.

Well this is nice to see. I was in the U.S Marine Corps so I can relate to this kind of air craft. The good old UH-1 Helo. I really like DCS they do a great job on liveries and flight. So I do believe you when you talk about the feeling. You are exactly right. Thank you for doing this.

Full Force Feeback Stick, a game changer for every WW2 module

I am a owner of a Logitech G940, and fly helicopters using FFB is incredible. I also has a HOTAS Warthog, and do not use it to helis, just because de FFB.

I have the vkb Gladiator plus! I'm very happy with how well it works. My dad is a helicopter pilot (bell 47, 206, a lot of time in the as350, a tiny bit of uh1 time, and now some time in a uh60) and I put him in the huey in vr to see how well he would do...let's just say he has a much better time in the real thing😂 to be fair I also don't have pedals yet so that could've thrown him off.

Very nice flying, Sir. My dream setup for sure.

love you

The detail on the new models is absolutely wild. The first skin I did for DCS was the original Ka-50, and that thing looked pretty good, even 4 or 5 years ago, given how old the thing was. Then the Mi-24 came out and I made a skin for that thing and it was just wild how much detail there was now. So much more detail, and a correspondingly bigger texture file spread out over more templates. And then the ultimate in detail and frustration, the AH-64.That thing literally has the individual bolts and rivets mapped independent of the skin below. It looks great in game, but hunting down every single rivet was incredibly frustrating. Especially when I stupidly picked a 4-tone camo from the Czech Air Force to represent. But at least it came out looking good, in my opinion anyway.

Definitely do a mission and the *.miz file, you`ve been talking about at the beginning

Your graphics are amazing! Could you please make a video covering all your settings and shaders.

Man I'm so bummed that ffbeast is also about a year wait and vpforce could be more than that they said. I only found these a few weeks ago and pre-order both. Long wait now

I fly the huey with a winwing orion 2 joystick and this is also very very good for helicopters

Hovering with the Huey is also easy without FFB, same the MI-24 Try out the AH-64 or MI-8 ...but a very good and interesting video...

They're absolutely is feedback in the cyclic lol

Awesome video, loving the huey content, but one thing I know that irritates helicopter pilots a ton is calling the tail rotor pedals "rudder pedals" 😂
