This question probably sounds dumb but watching my favorite movie Uncommon Valor, what does a helicopter pilot mean when he says heavy stick?

Does this joystick still work?

Hi Victor , perfect flight and good video!! Can you please advise me how to set the axes in the settings? to what values?

hello. I am making a flight stick following your video. I encounter difficulties when I connect to the PC, when testing buttons. Nothing is working properly. All connections have been checked several times. I watched the video several times, I don't think I missed anything. When I test the wires, at the output of the card, I find a connection between the blue and green wires. Did I burn a component? Can you help me?

Does MS FFB 2 go limp once the game starts? For some reason my MS FFB2 goes limp in-game and once I exit the game it centers but not during the game,

Hey Viktor, i need your advise. i´m currently relearning and enjoying the mi24. unfortunatly my cross on my map does not move. it never moves, no matter what i try. i do the alignment by pressing the sync button, holding it for few seconds, 3 minutes after powering on the system and it is also set to MAG. It worked back days when the mi24 was ea-released, but now it wont work anymore. what else can be the issue with the non moving cross on the map? cant find anything in forums or by search. maybe you can help me out. do more videos!!

So take a Sidewinder 2 and change the stick to that of a Thrustmaster one. Wow.

Wow, I am glad I found you!

Hello, perfect flight and good video !! Can you advise me how to set the axes please?

This is great but the latest windows 10-11 OS does not support force feed back dammit 😫

👍

did all that and no video of it in action?

Force feedback would be awesome but this looks like some risky business

I forgot to ask you how are you connecting it to the computer are you using an adaptor gameport to USB or something else

Hello again Victor! Just a quick question please…. My stick is still going strong 👍. Have you ever tried adding more resistors to the board? Would adding another to each stack strengthen the ffb effect? I could not IL2 without my ffb stick ❤ Thanks

You should do more videos, there is no much other helicopter channels like yours

Hi Viktor, great videos! Do you have any plans to follow up with a video on out of ground effect/ steep landing approach?

I'm reasonably certain that the paper moving map shown at 4:25 is just made by Decca and driven by a doppler radar system - the moving maps that used the Decca Navigator system (with the red/green/purple pairs of stations, no radar in the aircraft, just a passive radio receiver) used a very different and interestingly distorted projection.

Hi Viktor, do you still mod this Microsoft stick for pilots? If so, please accept my friend request on Discord. Kind regards, RD.

Smooth! Well done!

Then there's me....seesaw ride to hell 😄 Great flying Viktor

Fantastic Video! Thanks for sharing and taking the time making it. However, haven't seen any new ones for quite some times. Are you still simming?

Excellent work

Do you have a discord?

And i was going to drop 200 dollars on a warthog.. Fuck that sign me up for this, i'm just waiting for a chinese company who doesn't care about patent infringement to actually design a new force feedback stick. What would it take to upgrade these motors to PWM motors?

One question, do helicopter are not supposed to have springs cyclic? I have a Logitech x52 HOTAS to use for the Helicopters in Squad and the game only has trim method.

I held off buying this module for a long time, was not all that interested, I was bored waiting for the Apache the other day so I tried it on the trial offering from ED, and enjoyed so much I bought it. It is quite special actually.

Great tutorial thank you

I usually do not comment but I have to. Your video was, perfect you didn’t turn 4 min video into a 20 min lecture. Thank you

Hello again! I’m having another go at soldering resistors after picking up a spare ffb2 to fall back on if it goes bad. I soldered yesterday and it went well and neatly (using fine tip iron and magnifying glasses - much easier) All working fine apart from squealing noise when stick pushed forwards, left / right and back all good. I know this means that one of the resistors is poorly soldered / fitted but which one? Do you know which resistor corresponds to each input movement on the stick please? Thanks 👍

great Idea.

Hey Viktor. Do you have any of these joysticks for sale nowdays?

Please continue with this vids they are excellent

These are absolutely awesome.... thanks for your efforts to bring such quality content.

Hello Viktor, I made a Force Feedback modified following that video. I have just a problem cause the force feedback is not working, I don't understand something. Everything is working well (forces and buttons in the grip). I have connected the grey and white cables for the switch which activate the motors. But you speak about cables violet, black and dark red which we can cut. I found the purple, the black, but which one is the dark red ? On your video, I can see the purple and the black cut, but not the dark red. Then I saw two large cables red and black which are terminated by a (visibly) unconnected connector, is it these ones ? If necessary, I can send you photos if you can help (I need an email). Thanks for your tutorial, Marc

Awesome content and the description notes are great!

Excellent video

Perfect landing. Great explanation - may be the best I have seen so far. THX! :-)

Would it by hypothetically possible to add an X-55 stick and then add the extra buttons it has to be compatible?

So the buttons work, there's contact on the board (multimeter beeps), but won't work when I plug it in :( I tried it with that connection "using the silver wire" part, I even used a regular wire, tried it without it, nothing seems to work as far as buttons go

I bought these 1106 resistors, I'm guessing the 1800 number on it is the resistance? Any benefit to putting a higher number on it? I have a bag full of different numbers

i use a modified microsoft ffb 2 stick with extended carbon tube for long cyclic grip and attached a thrustmaster topgun grip for the huey and typical helicopter cyclic look. I use sim ffb for dampener effect and I use virpil pedals with spring removed. I can't wait to get a collective to finish the thing off.

Can you do a by the book startup with all the checks and stuff? Great video series!

The smoothest landing I ever seen. It motivate us all and "slow is fast" is something that comes on my mind watching this.

I don't hear English speakers not call the thing Em I 24 Pe very often... :)

Hi victor, very good video! just wondering how do you get the the doppler indicator OFF light to work? many thanks in advance

Nicely done! Would it be possible to add the controls indicator on future videos please? It would be nice to see how much pedal was added on the turn to final, and collective position when approaching IGE etc.

I have a question about helicopter flight in general: Is a coordinated flight (centered ball) or minimal drift angle more important? I can't seem to have both under normal weather conditions and at crusing speed and altitude.

Great series!!
