FSXCDRUSN:
Love the challenge of flying the EH101 and perform all the hoist missions. 
My Question is: Is there a way to configure other FSX helos to use the hoist by modifing the Airplane file? 
I would like to use other helos to fly some of the mission that require hoist to complete.

Howrod:
Hello, I also enjoy the EH101. I don't have an answer to your question, but have one of my own. I have posted my question on this site with no response so far. My question:

Does the throttle control in your EH101 constantly change high and low, with corresponding engine sounds? I seem to have no control over the throttle, but am able to control flight and hover with no problem. I don't know if this is "normal" or if I have a glitch.

Thanks,

Howard

FSXCDRUSN:
Howard,

No I have not noticed any throttle control issue. Mine is more along the line of I can't hover.  That is one of the reasons I was lookng to use other aircraft that are much more stable.  I have several other helo's that I have downloaded from Simviation and Abacus that have much better hover control.  I am getting better with the hoist actions but sling load flying is a real bear.  Takes the fun out of it.

Sorry no help with your challange. Thanks for responding

Howrod:
Hello, thanks for the response. I must have some issue that I will have to investigate further. It does not seem to affect performance.

About hovering the EH101, I recently made a major breakthrough in hovering. I was depending on the Vertical Speed Indicator, and after giving that much thought, payed more attention to the Attitude Indicator. At speed, I'll nose-up the EH101 10-15 degrees into the blue section of the indicator until the speed drops to zero. Then, while controlling torque with the pedals, drop the nose to between 5-10 degrees into the blue to maintain zero speed. To hover, you need to keep both hands and both feet busy. Use small movements of the controls. You can climb or descend while slowly operating the throttle, and if you anticipate lateral movement, you can control the hover with the torque pedals.

I find the EH101 easier to hover than the Jetranger or R22, but using the Attitude Indicator instead of watching the VSI seems to be the key to hovering. I can now hover the R22 at all altitudes. I was having trouble with the R22, constantly losing control, but now now.

Hope this helps.

Howard

FSXCDRUSN,

I have experienced the same problem of not being able to get the aircraft into a stable hover. i can get it to fly level but not a stand still hover. I have tried reducing the sensitivity for my joystick, and that only seemed to make it more difficult to control. I'm not sure what's causing it but even my brother who prides himself on being able to control every other helo on FSX can't keep it under control.

Does anyone have any tips on how to make the EH-101 easier to handle?

Thanks

BlakTiger
