No matter what I can't land that damn thing. I'm no noob pilot, I'd call myself an ace at flying anything besides the littlebird. No matter how soft you land it will ALWAYS rear back and do a barrel roll or flip, the only way to not do it is to let the game naturally work the chopper down which in return will get you killed 99% of the time since that takes about 10 seconds to do.

I have no problem landing it... And I'm particularly rough with it a lot. :/

What technique are you using to land it..?

Sometimes, i feel the Huey broken.

I just land, left Sq, take off, boom.

Well I'm going to have to say you're not a 'ace' pilot. The LB is a very special heli for PR pilots as it is the hardest to master. All I can say is...

practice, practice, practice...

Also try to organise or just get in with very exp pilots. Watch how they fly and try to work out what they pressing/moving.

You may say 'I can fly really well, I just cant land!' Which I answer 'They sort of go hand in hand.'

If you ever get in a attack LB with 'Blaat' you will see what real skill and control is. But if you want to see more skillful transporting and landing I would suggest trying to find *=LP=* Cmdunkown. Hes a crazy pilot that lack caution but is full of skill.

I could also show you, as I find myself a very exp pilot too. However you would probably learn quicker just by practiceing.

Remember that people usually prefer a clever pilot than a skillful one. Tactics and tips I can give, skills will have to be trained .

I am an ace pilot, fav thing to do is transport. I just cant ever do the littlebird though, every other chopper lands like a real one should. Little bird acts like the tail weighs 2000 pounds

Let me guess, you're holding the decelerate key. Controls invert when you do that. That being said, I am by no means an ace pilot, but I have no trouble with the LB.

Can you play now? Whats your ign? I can check to see what you doing wrong while landing...

In the LB I just tap S when I go down but it still just flips upside down. Its easy to land when you can just slide on the skids like on a street in Muttrah City but on a map where you have to just lower down it will just flip me

The trick to landing the LB is to use down thrust. When i come in to land i come in slow, position, then about a foot off the ground i move the throttle to about -10%, smash it onto the pad and your good. Lots of people will hit the deck and leave the throttle at 0%, which will almost always end up flipping the chopper or forcing you to jump out to save it.

I could fly DCS: Blackshark out of the box. DCS: BS is new a helo 'study' sim and a difficult one at that.

The flight model for helos in PR doesn't make sense. So, while I am a highly experienced sim pilot, I leave PR flying to pilots that have practiced this unique brand of flight model that appears to have little to do with reality.

Not a gripe, just an observation.

The lb is why joystick=WIN

When the lb idles, it tips back. I never really bring it down past 20% power when on the ground. Other than that, she's just veeeerry sensitive

Cool, i'll have to try leaving some positive throttle, i've always gone with negative. But yeah idling in the LB = Death.

Yeah, I find this true as well. I've been using flight sim X since it's 06 release, and the helos in there fly are a helluva lot more stable than the PR helos. And sorry guys, MSFS has been doing flight sims since the 80s, I think they're a bit more accurate.

I use keyboard-keyboard....but I am unique I'm going on a training server now to play around a bit...catch me there if you want help/or want to give me some tips

i am a **** pilot and i land the littlebird about 90 percent of the time with no problems. you must be doing something wrong.

i have done sniping instructional videos, but i can make a flying tutorial if you guys want, let me know.

I must be the only one who fails at the littlebird

lol, well i found LB to be the perfect dodo bird when teaching ppl to fly the choppers. The Huey would be the hardest to master for people.

So if ur failing at LB its cuz u are not doing something right. Once you fix that, ul be pro.

Huey the hardest? I personally find the Huey the most responsive and easiest chopper to fly
