Concise, no long annoying intros, well demonstrated. I love you.
AnthroTsuneon Sorry, because of an editing mistake the colors are indeed reversed. I'm planning on making a 2.0 version of this video since this is indeed a hard concept to grasp and having different wording and new methods couldn't hurt.
Alright, if you are asking how to slow down at high speeds without gaining altitude, the best way I can describe it is that you lower collective completely, and then nose up to keep your altitude level. When moving at high speeds and nosing up you will gain altitude much like a plane. When you are lowering collective you will start to descend. To stop yourself from descending into the ground, you should not increase collective, but instead nose up just to the point of stopping yourself from descending. To keep a constant altitude you will need to nose up little by little as your speed decreases. If you raise your nose too much you will still gain altitude, If you don't raise it enough you will lose altitude. You want to find a balance between too much upward nose, and too little. This will give you a constant altitude while also slowing yourself down.
A hard turn before a landing is done usually to drop as much speed as possible and is commonly used to counter situations where your speed is too high and about to overshoot a landing. The best way to improve this is just regular practice.
If you are just asking for better advice on the staging, I will hopefully make a video soon focusing on this aspect alone. However my handbook has 2 different explanations on how to stage properly just for the reason of this being very, very hard to explain in 1 go.
Hopefully this has helped you, and I highly suggest reading the handbook in the description since it has a lot of information relevant to this video.
Dude you helped me A TON!!! :D Before watching your video I always had to land from 200m high with auto hover now, half a year later I'm starting to become a pro pilot! :D
Santipro Nice, great to hear it :)
Time to go spend a couple hours practicing landing while listening to a podcast. Thanks for the tips m8.
I've watched this like 100 times and practiced right along with it but I can't seem to get any better.
kinda feeling the same might have too cheap of a joystick
while I can control what i'm doing for the most part, "fluidity" is lacking
@@sixpou You dont control helis with joystick.
Or maybe create you own way of landing a heli, instead of following what other professional players do just make up your own landing tricks because everyone has their own skills/tactics.
Thanks for an excellent vid, Patchwork. You're a damn good pilot, and a pretty good teacher too. You've helped me realise a few mistakes I'm making when trying to make quick landings, hopefully I'll be better with the help from this vid.
Thanks, I appreciate that and I'm glad the video's are helping out.
Patchworkᴴᴰ Tried to translate your vid to the heavier heli's (mostly the Huron), but having a few issues due to slower responses with the heavier airframes, especially the fast landings, any pointers?
Tim Still Rapid insertions are not really something heavy airframes are for. Feel free to take your time when landing them.
Just found your channel. Great tips. I'm trying to improve as a pilot inf ArmA3 as I always like the flying aspect of the game.
Great tip with the "airframe on either side" to project a mental image of rotor clearance, that was something that I've definitely been struggling with managing.
Try these landings at 30 fps koth i dare ya
Its helps its like slow motion
@@njtProductions No it's not? It's the same speed, but It's like you're blinking every second
@@hjarsen7296 Strangely enough it's not really much harder.
lol you would die so fast
I’ve noticed lower frames indeed is easier or at least in my opinion. To be fair I am a fairly quirky kind of person and generally what others find harder i find easy and what others find easy I find hard..... like sleeping for god’s sake :d
I throttle down and keep the noise up till I stop moving. I mark my landing and begin to slow down depending on the helicopter. Usually between 1km/1.5km depending on speed. So by the time I get to the AO/landing zone I can land right away where ever instead of bleeding speed high up(autopilot).
for new guys having trouble, change your keybinds, the default is really awkward.
I use this:
w = increase thrust
s = decrease thrust
q = pedal left
e = pedal right
a = rudder left
D = rudder right
r = lift nose up (I have this so I can turn sharply while also sideways)
mouse = all pedals and rudders for fine control
hope this helps
also if you can afford track it, pedals and joysticks, go for it
Not sure if you even see responses to these older videos but this series is very helpful - struggling big time with the heli...
This is beautifully made and very clear, thank you!
This guy needs more views.
I can't imagine the spaces next to me... So... I'm always in the "I hope" mode when flying close to objects... But I'm still flying really well... even in tight spaces...
Do you think the pedals are absolutely necessary? How much of an advantage do you think they would give compared to just a joystick?
With only a joystick, you're missing an axis. Some cheaper joysticks have a rotational axis which you can map in place of pedals, but this twist is usually pretty clumsy, and you're placing all three directional axes on one hand. A higher quality joystick without the twist axis, in addition to a set of pedals, will make it easier to coordinate your movements.
Hi man. Can you please make a video about the usage of the tail rotor in all aspects of flying a helicopter.
Thanks for the awesome videos!
Great vid. Very well done. GJ
I feel like a big part of Arma 3 flying is not always looking at your instruments, you should be able to feel what you need to do and what you are doing.
aren't the colors on the graphs and the lower right corner reversed? Still, a useful idea but I fail to really grasp the tutorial, like do I descend whilst slowing down or let it glide? At what of an angle roughtly should I tilt backwards? How best to stay stable whilst taking turns during the slowing down?
Ok, i hope you read this, but I would like to know how you do your landings, when you do the diagonal turn right before you land to bleed your speed. Do you add some pedal into that? If so which side? And what is exactly the process in which you do that landing? Thanks for the videos they have helped me very much! I hope you come back to arma with more tutorials!
killer flying! would love to play with ya!! Vids are great!
wtf y u so good
besides that great video :D
Do you use a joystick. Or is it all keyboard and mouse?
+Wabadebadoo Olelikemjoel Joining the question, please answer
+smootskin Joystick, Pedals, and TrackIR5. You can find my full setup in the "About" Tab on my channel page.
Patchworkᴴᴰ Damn!
I'm only using Joystick and had a bit of trouble, but your tutorial actually help me alot.
Thank you
Patchworkᴴᴰ Now thinking about it, since i'm not going to have Oculus rift any time soon, I can use that TrackIR5 using Google cardboard.
Awsom!!!
It helps, but you dont need any one those, i would consider myself a good pilot, and the people on the server i play on says im the best, and i use only mouse and keyboard.
Hey this is amazing (got yourself another sub) you helped me out a LOT.
I was just wondering if you could give me some advice with my style of landing. I have a fine mental image and awareness of my helicopter clearance (I fly an M-900 for recon) and have a pretty good knowledge of safe landing speeds and flexible velocity, yet I can't seem to get my landings quite up to standard. My issue is that I slow down too much, and end up having to continually correct my speed, or else I over/undershoot. Any tips?
Yes, the m900 is shit, use the hummingbird instead, much more agile.
Awsomnes at its best
Really Helpfull video und nice pilot skills :thumbsup:
Thanks
nice vid m8
What do you use though? So smooth of a flight, it looks nothing like being controlled by wasd, rather a precise flightstick...
Awesome vids :)
Thanks
Thank you.
this seems pretty complex. My first arma 3 heli landing was in epoc, and I broke all the parts of the heli trying to land in a field.
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast...
I know how to make the propeller go faster so I can take off but how the hell do I go down without pointing down. I can't land when I'm hauling ass.
Holy shit you are good at flying. I can do some really nice stuff. But inside Agia Marina.... That's crazy
well made
Very cool
but how do you decrease speed so fast, because everytime I´m flying fast and try to slow down by tilting up I fly like 300 meters up in the air
NicerDiceR tilt sideways
1. tilt sideways (70 degrees, 90 degrees) 2. Stop using the throttle if it's not needed 3. try to spot a landing place you'd want to land 4. get to the correct speed, altitude and have awareness of your surroundings before landing.
Im having trouble with landing hot in koth, I come in good then just as im landing the heli starts to veer about the place.
+ChestOfDoom Sorry for the late response. Sounds like you are having trouble controlling the oscillation of the helicopter when you transition into a hover. I would try and land with about 10km/h of forward airspeed. 10km/h is safe enough for touchdown, yet you will not enter a hover and have to worry about controlling the oscillations.
This is a problem since i either go fast the whole flight and take forever to lose speed at which point i veer. Or go at a slow speed so i can land easy then get shot down by a jet.
hey man great vid. do you have the last 2 parts of the handbook done if so can i have a link pls they are relly good
I haven't ended up finishing those yet. When I do I'll see about making sure people know.
awesome man sounds great :)
Hello Patchwork ,
I just recently become a ArmA player and I had notice that alot of player what is called
vehicle radar now when in too config mine I notice that I don't have that opinion, I have
all that you have in your video ( thank you for the video ) except that, is that missing data or
do I need earn that options?.
How do you save the config setup for a joystick ? Bigger having to manually do it every time you play
i just ordered the thrustmaster t16000 package and peddals like 5min ago and im wondering if i can look around whit the joystick or do i need to buy that head Track thingy
i still didnt get the fast landing where u stop quickly how do u do it what do u press?
when flying low and slow how much power do you usually have on?
It looks like you use a joystick if so what would it be?
you use a consoler, keyboard+mouse or joystick? I go joystick myself.
I'm using TrackIR 5 Head Tracking to look around, Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals for my Anti-Torque control, and for a joystick/throttle setup I either use my Saitek X-55 Rhino HOTAS or Xbox 360 gamepad depending how I feel.
Patchworkᴴᴰ
Now I'm kinda jealous c:
i cant fly as good as you but since you have a x55 and i a x52 pro controller, can you tell me how i have to configure the controls? do i have to use analog control for the throttle to increase speed? but i heard it reduce the speed to 50% something like that, id really love to know but thanks for the tips ill try to fly with around 100 km/h and see if i can handle helicopter more easy.
The tip for binding throttle currently is to bind it to "Collective" (Non-Analogue) even though your controller is analogue. "Collective" Non-Analogue will accept analogue inputs just fine and it actually handles analogue input better. If you're flying with the advanced flight model on the devbranch then this does not apply and you should use "Collective [Analogue]".
As for a decrease in maximum speed with analogue control over mouse and keyboard, I can confirm this is false.
If your interested in seeing how I have my X-55 bound you can check it out here: i.imgur.com/RqUSoE3.png
Every time I try to do a landing, I tap the ground and my entire helicopter explodes.
cool vid helped a lot but i havenr find any vid that would teach me to reload ammo in some of the armed helicopters cuz every time we shoot out all the ammo we never reload them bcs we dont know it do you know ho to reload helicopter ammo?
Masakr CZ With an Ammo truck
Is there any fast way to switch between your joystick and mouse+keyboard (helicopter to infantry) without pressing esc and change everytime?
FrozenIcyPole There shouldn't be any need to go back into the options when switching.
The Handbook link is broken pls reupload it id love to read through that.
+Shooter339 www.dropbox.com/s/fznfwxbqv41x94o/General%20Control.pdf?dl=0
Oh thanks for the quick response :D Are the other parts out too?
Shooter339 Nah, I haven't really considered working on the other parts yet. I think as I release flight quick-tips on the topics, I'll make the handbook for them.
Alright
I just don't understand how you go from 200km/h to 10km/h in like 3 seconds...I can't do this. I REALLY want flying lessons in Arma III!
I spent around 80 hours practicing flying
Still can't fucking as good as I hope to be.
You need to spend alot more than that, you need alot more hours than 80 to be really good at anything, people think experience comes in a blink of an eye.
Etch
1 I don't think that, don't know if it's your intention but you sound like a douche. 2 that post was 2 years ago lol, got 1600 hours (total) and a setup for flying got it going good.
Damiaan Moors One of my weakest sides is that, when i think someone doesn't know one thing for example. i automaticly sound like im looking down on the person, that is something i need to work on, thank you for getting me one step further in realising that.
Etch it's good and, you're welcome? I guess, haha. No offense taken. Good luck.
are u flying with joytick or with mouse and keyboard
Joystick. You can my gaming setup and peripherals in the "About" tab on my channel page.
How do you slow down so fast I can't seem to do that I have to turn on auto hover to stop my self.
Yeah me too
Hi, what is the decryption key for the backup handbook link?
+Paul Whapples (Drwhapples) The links have been updated
I’m pretty good at flying I just I can’t land for crap I go from 10m of the ground then try to land then some how to 170m of the ground.
I know I'm late, but in the off-chance, you are still having this issue the reason for that is because you're landing too quick. The speed + you touching the ground is causing you to bounce.
hi can someone give me the name of the background song?
Is there a new link for the gouidebook?
+Krab ble Updated.
+Patchworkᴴᴰ thanks
Do you fly with a joy stick ?
Ohh fuck man, my heli would explode at least 100 times , if i try that
Joy, Mous&keyboard, keyboard?
how do I slow down smothly ? just a little Pole back or is it a botton ?
You slow down by lifting the nose of your heli up, but at the same time you'll gain altitude, so what you want to do is hold in Z or however your setups is configured, and tilt your nose at an angle where you are slowing down, but not gaining or losing altitude. Can't say I've ever given the angle much thought, you develop a feel for it for each different heli.
+Nicholas Christodoulou ok thanks I will try that out
Do you use track IR, or fly with keyboard, with freelook toggled?
I use TrackIR 5. I don't fly with keyboard and mouse.
Patchworkᴴᴰ What joystick do you use?
dabom0282 X-55 as well as some saitek pedals. My full setup and accessories can be found on my channel under the "about" tab.
Patchworkᴴᴰ Would you say someone needs these things to be a good pilot?
dabom0282 Not at all. Use what works for you, whether that´s a keyboard and mouse, joystick or a 360 controller. Just use what works for you.
i would like to play with a good flyer to help me be great
PatchWork need some information on a unit/clan flight school. Please PM me...
why do i even watch this video? im the fucking best arma pilot in the world... :D
Im great at crashing into power lines
Is this doable with the mouse and keyboard?
Yes
please help me i can't go down:(
crazy kamikaze gamer z
Do you use auto hover or do you keep auto hover off the entire time?
+I'm JLW | Justin I do not use auto-hover except for when I'm in a holding position for an extended period of time and clear of any potential threats.
Patchworkᴴᴰ Oh, ok, and one more question, how do you maintain you altitude to the same level while slowing down? I always end up going up and it taking more time.
I'm JLW | Justin Lower your collective before you attempt to bleed speed. My 5th Flight Quick Tip video goes into more detail on that.
Alright thanks!
I'm JLW | Justin No problem.
how are you slowing down I can never do that
A good way to slow down it to point your nose up and hold down allowing you aircraft to slow down and not gain altitude.
when you say down you mean the lower altitiude key right?
+Austin Williams yeah
+Benny Garkusha put your nose put a tiny bit and hold the down collective as you slow tilt you nose more and more upward.
okay thanks
Is this using the advanced flight model?
No, the advanced flight model was not released when I made this video.
Thanks. Still very helpful, though I haven't been able to land without exploding with rough landing on. :P
JewishLumberjack Some practice will sort that out quick enough so keep at it.
T.Flight Hotas Stick X. can i use this stick for arma 3
+Tyr0n03 Yeah, that will work fine in Arma 3.
this stick or Logitech Extreme 3D PRO PC Joystick
Tyr0n03 I haven't used either, if it were me though at that price range I'd either look into the T.Flight Hotas, or the Thrustmaster T-16000M.
Ha if you did that IRL you'd hit VRS.
Among other things, yes. The wear from just flying like I do in the video would most likely bring it back code 2 or possibly even code 3.
what keys do u use to speedland??
He uses joystick with pedals, no buttons.
If you dont want to spend money on a joystick, use your mouse instead of buttons only.
mouse or keyboard?
Keymouse
TheDrivewayPyrotechnics that combo tho
Well, you don't address anything really that isn't new. Approach stages is not rocket science, as for the tight landings, could have mentioned tips as to when to do exactly what, instead, we saw half the video a demo of how great you are at maneuvering in tight spaces.... Not really a tip besides that it was all common knowledge. I wish you would have addressed how to make Arma pilots that are already mediocre at flying, to do better, but this video does not at all do that.
Holy fuck dude, you gotta be cheating
Really guys? Autohover use that shit...
Auto hover makes it easier for you to get shot down.. With a RPG for example
Liam Gibson Well guy why would you land when they could have PCM's rocket lauuchers aswell and they can LOCK you on ANYWAY.
+Julian Depaepe auto-hover will often gain alt as well making it hard to land quickly.
Benny Garkusha Lose altitute before landing idk
+Julian Depaepe You also lose full manoeuvrability while landing with auto hover, which can be disastrous if you take anti-air fire and need to abort. Also, a good pilot would be prepared to deploy countermeasures if they get locked up. Don't try to discredit good tactics because you're not familiar with landing without auto hover. Practice.
The aerodynamics in this game are so un realistic...
+Max W Have you tried the advanced flight model?
Manik this guy's obviously a troll
TheDrivewayPyrotechnics I'm a R22 pilot. I would never attempt any of these maneuvers in real life and neither would any other pilot.
