I'm having some serious problem: After pulling the Collective up and raising to about 100 meters of altitude, I pull it slightly down until the helicopter stops going up. I then push the Collective a bit more for the heli to go down to 50m, and already at 70m altitude I pull the Collective up for the heli to stop at that height, but that doesn't stop my heli from continuing going down, until it crashes. So basically, I can't get my heli to the altitude I want it to hover at - 50 meters.

You could be entering into the ring vortex state and it will cuase you to crash. Post the track and let us look at it.

How do I record the flight? Does the game have a built-in recording feature, or do I need to use a 3rd party program?

OK, I've become more aware of how the helicopter reacts to the collective stick, so I'm a lot more successful at stabilizing the helicopter.

I am encountering two problems when following the tutorial: 1. I am unable to find the tanks or any enemies. Any tips on doing this, or do I simply need to scan the whole area with the Shkval targeting display? 2. Getting my weapons to shoot: the tutorial says: "... The cute little plane with the funky lights show the weapon presence indicator (yellow) and the weapon readiness indicator (green) which display the selected weapon. Select the outer hardpoints.". - How do I do that? Also regarding the weapons thingy, mine doesn't look like in the tutorial, even after take off: You only see the 24 number. The NC and other light are off. Why?

That's because I didn't even take off. ALl the systems are off. However, it's the same after take off with the Master Arm switch on.

You need to select the proper pylon with Y/U/I. I have mine mapped to the bottom buttons on my Saitek AV8R.

That works. Thank you. Now I just need to understand how to hover, because I can't aim at the tanks like this. When I raise the cyclic to stop the helo from flying forward, it's like a rebound - the helo starts moving backwards after reaching 0 airspeed. More practice is needed, I guess. A lot more.

This tutorial was the most useful thing ever!
Now how about "how to take off, blow up stuff, and land again"? I keep going splat at the end of missions.

Hehe...thanks, Rusty. Unfortunately my simming time currently is pretty much taken by DCS:A-10...

Yeah I did it the wrong way round. Bought BS...realised I couldn't run it very well. I then saved enough to build a new PC. I bought DCS A10 as well. I'm finding myself getting into the shark more than the 'hog, which is really surprising me. Especially as I'm a sim-noob (apart from a long time ago playing F14 Fleet Defender). It's all good now. I can land on a FARP without tipping the heli over on the sloped edge of the helipad.
