Are there plans for the guns version? I see that armament panel, it would seem like a waste to not use it. Regardless, it looks amazing, and like a lot of fun.

Little bird is perfectly cromulent reason to get your freak on and become a helicopter guy.

I second whatever my refined-spoken friend just said.

Nor am I, officially anyway…
As a fixed wing pilot I am under obligation to look down upon these dangerous contraptions with rotating wings.

Unofficially, though, when nobody is watching, I emerge from my closet and mount the collective to my simpit…

But don’t tell anyone!

So I flew the OH-6 around Tel Aviv on the Syria map tonight. First impressions: Great fun to fly!

Edit:








Landing in increasingly tight spaces as I get the hang of it.

Few more. I can pick you up anywhere you like:

I chose this bird to have my first VR flight since March when I left Iraq. The detail is outstanding. It was amazing. It should be a paid module. Im so happy to be flying it.

Last night it all came together for me. I was watching a video by Deephack and he mentioned the Governor and its functions. Following his advice I was able to make the throttle stable. No more engine spiking up and down while i fight the rudders. Now the thing is smooth. Well, as smooth as Cayuse can be. I landed on rooftops and on barges and even on the LST. VR helps, Nailing down my pedals helped a lot and now the only thing that is missing is FFB. To be continued…

OK. I gotta ask. What is that selfie stick thing?

Welp, it was a bit before selfies (1960s) lol. Its the Gunsight. I sort of forgot it was there…

I had a ride in the Kiowa last night for the first time. It was inevitable that as I begin to love helos I would want to try it. Its Light, Maneuverable and well armed.
I like it. Though the OH-6 seems more powerful and maneuverable…
Well, its early dayz with the Kiowa, lets see how I feel about it by Christmas…
