[Taog's Hangar] OH6A Cayuse - Hughes 500C

Dear @TaogsHangar Friend!

The currently released Hughes 500 C patch does not include my comments, suggestions that many other users have agreed with and liked.

I know this is a hotfix that you released, but I wonder if you plan to address my comments, if so, when can we expect the fixes?

By the way, I fly the Hughes 500 C helicopter daily, free flight, and continuous career missions. I really love this helicopter! Thank you for bringing this wonderful helicopter to the community!

You posted that 6 days ago… Development work, especially on something like a fight model takes a lot longer than a week, then you have testing on top of that. It could be months depending on the extent of the work needed.

The flight model also might be limited by the fight sim itself and not by the developer. Just because something is posted here and acknowledged doesn’t mean it’s their priority. The most recent patch might have been in the works for weeks

Fixed by an update. Thank you very much!

:+1:

Finally decided break down and buy this, and man is it a fun little bird to fly. I definitely need more practice flying helicopters, especially the slowing down and landing parts ha.

I have a question though: Is it possible to adjust the cockpit quick views to the left and the right? I feel like they’re viewing too high. I would prefer if I could adjust it to where it’s looking more down and to the left or right. As you can see in my video, the quick view to the left, part of the view is obscured by the door, and you can’t see downward at all.

I dug through the settings and the forums but couldn’t find out if this was something I could do or not.

A head tracker would help, I find it most useful for helo flying.

On PC, you can adjust the pilot’s viewpoint height. Perhaps there’s an equivalent feature on console, or the ability to map a button to activate this functionality?

I just bought it, very nice aircraft, 99% bug-free including in career mode !

Really easy to fly, more than the default h125, and the engine sound is great, especially on start

I’m proud of this first high altitude delivery

It really is a 100% non-regret purchase. Thing is fun.

I look forward to the day I can afford a legit gaming PC and a VR setup.

Got this the other night loading into Lake Havasu, rotor was slowly rotating with the wind but the covers stayed in place

Thanks mate.
Noted, and will add a fix on the next update/patch.
A cross wind, as per RL, will drive the tailrotor like a wind turbine, and hence rotate the main rotor. We just need to stop this when the main rotor is tied down.

This issue is not proper to the H500, I got it on every helicopter including defaults ones since lasts builds of SU4

Adding on to this to say I also would greatly appreciate if this bird was added to SAR missions in the future.

Hi, this is one of my favorite choppers, I enjoy it very much in career. But I just found out I can’t buy it for my AG company in career mode. I can only fly it as employee. Is this a bug, or intentional?

Edit: forget what I said, I can buy one, but only brand new, not used.

Oh how I’d love an N4EE livery for this model! Deadly Encounter is one of my most-watched movies and a big, big reason why I love the 500C so much. It’d also be terrific to have a repaint for N9103F from Birds of Prey…multiplayer in either of these with the other player in a matching Lama could be a ton of fun!

I’m on Xbox and absolutely loving this helicopter in the sim. I’ve been a fan of them since childhood - I have strong memories of drawing one on my first day of school - and I’m thoroughly enjoying myself exploring what I can do and teaching myself to fly it right.

I have noticed a couple of minor issues though:

  • the rudder pedals don’t visibly move for me (the lock is off and control is fine)
  • while there’s a gorgeous animation for the collective pitch movement of the rotor head there’s nothing up there for the cyclic
  • there’s an issue with the tail rotor not loading and there just being the shaft in place, and the front left door vanishing when I open it and needing me to click it back with the tablet - both of these occur together and a restart of the flight seems to fix it
  • the left skid preflight check tooltip is not working

I’m eager to see what updates and fixes may come but, for the moment, this add-on has fulfilled a big want of mine for flight sim. Thank you!

Regarding the issue of the anti torque pedals not moving graphically, even though the controls work fine: that is because you didn’t use the official/helicopter-specific binding for the anti-torque pedals. I’m not in front of the simulator now, so I can’t tell you exactly what the binding is called, but the behavior you describe results if you assign the anti-torque pedals to the rudder pedal assignment.

Thank you, that’s super helpful! I’ll get that done. I appreciate the explanation.
