Special Server Maintenance
Just when you think you have everything running some what better...
You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.
- November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.
If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.
To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.

With helicopters "Less is more". I think the Bell 407 is a fairly decent chopper to learn in. Rudder pedals are quite essential! For the collective action and even the cyclic, smooth operation is paramount. The low resistance Hall effect sticks are good. Start by just lifting off, hover for a short bit, perhaps move from one runway number to another.
Surprisingly my MSFS help adventures transferred well into real choppers. Maybe about 4 hours or so the light bulb will come on.

Get rotor trim buttons set up helps as well.
You don't have to, but I created a whole new joystick profile for helicopters. having more sensitive control settings helps with making small adjustments in the hover. Learning to make small inputs made all the difference for me.

As Snuffy posted above, you may not be aware of the new Rotorhead forum here on SOH.
It is a place for all things rotorcraft related. No matter how long you've flow rotorcraft, or which sim you use.
Rotorhead is THE place to ask, share, learn, and just have fun.
You may also wish to join in the annual HeliFest taking place on FlightSim.com.
I'll be posting updates here along with in FS.com.
