You always land into the wind on approaching an offshore oil rig. If it isn't ideal due to the rig superstructure the chopper will often crab sideways, and at the last minute use the rudder to turn the nose into the wind. Also the cranes definitely wouldn't be moving, possibly still up, but boomed in close towards the derrick, however ideally they would be down resting on the boom cradles. Otherwise the sim looks pretty good, apart from the rig detail.👍🏼
I believe the shadow was the moving crane. This was a great video! Lots of fun. I love flying the H-135 and H-145. Also, thank you for the link to the Wick Airport. I downloaded it and look forward to trying this mission. Cheers!
Wonderful video, thank you! I tried build 361 of the H145 today, and it's the first build with new flight model that feels really good to me. Still some things to iron out, but it is getting even better than the old model.
Great video ,great helicopter ,relaxed commentary and my home area ...couldn't ask for more. Used to go to Rosemarkie beach a lot when i was a kid, my mum lives in Avoch near Fortrose. Thanks for the video 👍
I actually worked on the Hook up of Beatrice Bravo back in the tail end of 1983. Skimming across the waves is a definite no no min elevation would be 2000ft. min.
Not really looked for anything yet as with the HEMS I tend to fly out of the same spots but good to know there is one, especially now I have the MD 500E
Also, and I'm just guessing, I wonder if the LZ the hospital was such that you had a land with the tail facing the pathway. I don't know. Because looking at the tablet, it also seemed as if the LZ was in the grass and not where you landed. That might be a glitch. Still, great flying!!!!
Many thanks! This was a custom mission that I made myself so I placed the Hospital landing marker in the helipad on the mission builder map which doesn’t quite match up with the pad in the sim. There is a distance tolerance though that will allow the this sort of difference from what I have seen though.
I use a Virpil WarBRD base with a Thrustmaster Warthog grip. As most of my flying is old warbirds I haven’t taken the springs out of the base or changed the cams so it is still self-centring but the latest H145 beta builds have a setting on the tablet that adjusts the flight model to take that into account.
@@Dreamsofwings thanks for getting back to me, in your videos the "ease" of use really is visible...i'll check into that system. Many thanks once again.
Great video, as usual. I fly this thing a lot, but I've found I don't really enjoy it unless in VR. Helicopters are so much easier to manage in VR, I believe, because of the high level of situational awareness. My old veteran TrackIR has been acting quirky lately, so I've kinda given up on it.
Many thanks John and you are absolutely right, flying this helicopter in VR is so much easier. I can even tell I hold the stick with a lighter touch in VR because my brain has a better connection to what the aircraft is doing.
Thanks for great video. I have a WinWing orion joystick, collective and throttle, do you know if this H145 works with WinWing devices and how can I get a good throttle setting for flying? I'm just new and love flying in helicopters.
Many thanks! I am sorry but I have no experience of those. Might be worth you checking the Hype Performance Group Discord as I am sure you will get an answer there. Everyone is very helpful and the developers give great support.
That was great flying in my humble opinion. I have the H135 & it is the only heli I'm proficient at with ALL the assists off ...I actually find it too easy to fly compared with others like CowanSim & several other helicopters I own but I can't fly them like the H135. In fact some I just can't land safely very often. Can I ask if you use any flight assists?
@@Dreamsofwings "not sure what they do" ...lol ...they ruin the experience! MSFS has two bespoke helicopter assists. You'll find them under "Piloting" in the "Assists". I think they are defaulted to "On" as I found flying heli's too easy. I found them & turned them OFF ...they are "Cyclic Assist & Tail Rotor Assist". When turned off the heli's respond realistically & were next to impossible to fly without much practice. You may be flying with those Assist's "ON' if you've not checked.
@@MsTheCopsno I switched them off when the heli update came out. I am saying I am not sure what they do because I've never flown with them so I don't know how they effect the sim.
@@Dreamsofwings I see . You got my respect ...that was a smooth flight in the wind executed with no assists. I'm still trying to do roof top landings on the first attempt. I have all assists off ...so a hard landing results in a failure. ...thanks for the chat my friend.
Many thanks. I have no idea to be honest. The HEMS mission capability is a separate program on the PC so guess that would be more complicated to bring over
You’ve got smooth capturing compared to my slide shows 🤩 Must be a good PC. And you must be using TrackIR or VR..? Would like to have one. I’m just using the mouse 😬 For some reason my drone camera moves really agressively even if I’ve set up the camera speed very low.
Hey yours is great! Love your videos, so informative and inspiring. The drone camera needs to be set incredibly low to make it work smoothly, you are right it is very aggressive indeed. I have used TrackIR for many many years, it then went ‘inop’ so I get this which is much cheaper and an improvement on the old system Grass Monkey Simulations 240hz Monkey King Puck ua-cam.com/video/HihxGMaGppA/v-deo.html
@@msinerva80 oh the other thing that really helps is to use a gamepad type controller to ‘fly’ the drone. Get the drone speed and rotation speed low, use small inputs on the game pad sticks and it makes it much easier.
I have one question ! Maybe you can help me! Yesterday I've tried to fly on H145, but after starting engines and all needed proceedures on primary display of heli was written : MGR low pressure and oil of MGR in the red zone and also when I try to pull up heli with full throttle and "high" possition of engine two switches it's just poping on the ground and do not fly off the ground.Do you know how to settle this two problems? I didn't found any video information on youtube about ghis problems . Heli was activated!

A definite subscribe ..excellent video 👍
Hey many thanks! 🍻
You know there is a big helipad pack for scotland?
Not really looked for anything yet as with the HEMS I tend to fly out of the same spots but good to know there is one, especially now I have the MD 500E

What joystick do you use please? I'm currently stuck with a console like controller (horrible for flying Helicopters imo). Thanks!!

My first flight simulator was running on a Sinclair ZX-81, 16k, black & white, no sound. 41-years later...this!
Ah mine was Psion Flight Simulator on the ZX Spectrum and feel the same way! Amazing.
Amiga !
which VR equipment do you have now?
I use Index for VR but all my videos use head tracking. For the last year or more I have been using Grass Monkey King Puck

Gents, beginning to think about VR as well. Which one do you advise plz?
@@paulvanuffelen8380 must admit I am no expert, I used the Valve Index and that serves me well but the Reverb G2 V2 seems popular

is there any performance hit in VR using this compared the ingame uh1 huey ?
I’ve not flown the UH-1 in MSFS so can’t compare.

I guess a future version will have cars etc. (flattened objects) removed by AI
That would be great!
Nice video, superb aircraft. Is there any hope of this aircraft coming to Xbox?
Many thanks. I have no idea to be honest. The HEMS mission capability is a separate program on the PC so guess that would be more complicated to bring over
@@Dreamsofwings yeah I understand that. But the helicopter alone would bet tremendous 😉
@@wesseltendolle oh without a doubt! Fingers crossed at least the base pack makes it over.

Yes it will.

@@Dreamsofwings Will try! Thanks! But i've tried to leave and reset my flight, but same problem still happend.
@@Jackson12438 yes you will need to repair on the tablet otherwise it will remain broken. Let me know if you fix it
bit of a hard landing on that oil rig, i still hmm and r over that pack id like it but 70 pounds or so is quite pricey imho
Yes that’s why I pointed out it was a rocky landing
