dang, that is so cool. The firefighting video with the plane was awesome! Imagine using a helicopter with a long-line and a bucket! That would be cool to watch!!
I've found the controls to be insanely sensitive, makes it sooo hard to control. Think i need to update the sensitivity for my HOTAS as it's almost impossible
Definitely recommend turning on some of the assists to help out! Go to Settings > Assistances > Turn on: Helicopters: Assisted Cyclic Helicopters: Assisted Tail Rotor Helicopters: Assisted Collective
Awesome video, I've been trying to do the training for cpl in the chopper but the first flight training flying down river when he says he will control the power etc before that has taken over it's plummeting out of the sky
Glad you enjoyed it! And I would try turning on the helicopter assists to see if that'll help you. With those I was going all over the place with the helicopters lol
Beautiful landing! I did that test last night, everything was great until I landed and didn’t get the option to shut down. It just glitched out. Career mode has been a complete glitch fest for me so far in almost every mission, something happens. Plus I can’t get my hotas X to work with the sim so I’m stuck using controller for now.
Anyone else experiencing issues with the introduction training? When I start up it immediately tells me I’ve failed and have to wait to get in the air but haven’t touched anything. Even did the cursor right after ignition so I couldn’t affect the controls and it still failed me
Hey mate, I found the solution for that: The solution to not restart the mission when the instructor asks us to turn on the engine is to make SURE that the collective is at 0%. I was having the same issue, and I noticed my collective was at 0.7%, so I forced my HOTAS in order to ensure it was at 0%. The engine picked up and the lesson was not restarted. The lesson progressed and I completed it successfully.
Loving the videos. Thank you. I'm finding the Helicopters impossible with my Flight stick. You're using controller? Would you mind sharing your bindings and sensitivities? I would like to give it a go.
Thank you! So glad to hear it! But helicopters can be super difficult to fly, so I turned on the 3 Assists available for them in the settings (Under Assistances) and it makes it so much better to fly! And yes I use the Xbox controller with fully default settings!
Mine wouldn't be smooth if I had the assists turned off haha but if you want to know where to turn them on: Go to Settings > Assistances > Turn on: Helicopters: Assisted Cyclic Helicopters: Assisted Tail Rotor Helicopters: Assisted Collective
At the moment I have all three Helicopter Assistance settings turned on. It helps out a ton! Especially if you're new to them! Go to Settings > Assistances > Turn on: Helicopters: Assisted Cyclic Helicopters: Assisted Tail Rotor Helicopters: Assisted Collective
The grass airfields continue to F things up for me, most of the time it's very difficult to see where the landing strip actually starts so i repeatedly overshoot them. 😅
Love the content only just recently subscribed keep it up! Could you maybe do a video on like controller settings assists for helicopter and planes please?? I’m okay with planes but helicopters are ridiculous to control with controller.
Thank you and glad you're enjoying the videos! As for the controller, I used it fully default for this video! Just had the assists turned on which helps an absolute ton! Go to Settings > Assistances > Turn on: Helicopters: Assisted Cyclic Helicopters: Assisted Tail Rotor Helicopters: Assisted Collective
For these career mode 'missions', I see that it just asks you to use the engine start keybind to start the engine. Does it work if we actually start it manually from cold and dark? Or would that fail the mission?
I go via helicopter 4 times a month for work, in both the UK and Germany they taxi at take off and landing and I've never understood it. When we arrive at our vessel there's just a helipad so it's vtol
Hey can you please help me I can't turn off those annoying blue rectangles in career mode. I turned off flight path in assistances but they still show up for some reason
Head to Settings > Assistances > Visual Assistance > Flight Path Off Or, you can set a keybind for "Toggle Visual Assistances Display" in the settings. The Xbox Controller is click the left stick and some flight sticks and such already have a key bind set!
I've been rather put off by career mode, at least on the fixed wing side, because I do a mission and it barely pays anything. Like 3k and like 2900k goes to the coordinator and I got 100 credits lol
Hmm never seen that low of a payout before. The least I've seen is around $1,800 or so. But regardless, when you start your own company you'll be making the full amount of money $30,000+ per mission
I need help whenever i land the helicopter the trainer tells me well done and done nothing happens its on the exam mission for rotor craft i tried shutting of the engine and all
Helicopters definitely are a different breed! But training I did it with no assists but afterward I turned on the assists to make it easier! Go to Settings > Assistances > Turn on: Helicopters: Assisted Cyclic Helicopters: Assisted Tail Rotor Helicopters: Assisted Collective
Head to Settings > Assistances > Visual Assistance > Flight Path Off Or, you can set a keybind for "Toggle Visual Assistances Display" in the settings. The Xbox Controller is click the left stick and some flight sticks and such already have a key bind set!

Love your MFS 24 series! Spot on! Got my copy yesterday. I am on series x ... had no problems with performance whatsoever. Cheers😁
same it was solid. idk where all the criticism comes from. at least I didnt experience any issues myself.
Thank you so much! 🙂 Glad you're enjoying the series and the sim!
dang, that is so cool. The firefighting video with the plane was awesome!
Imagine using a helicopter with a long-line and a bucket! That would be cool to watch!!
Firefighting with helicopters, if it isn't in now it'll be added (as it's in the cutscene when you load into the sim!) 🙂
Binged this series and subscribed. Loving your videos. Thanks for the great content!
Awesome! Happy to hear you're enjoying, welcome! 🙂
It's a helicopter. MSFS should recognize what a present position take off is.
Agree. Taxi path seems off.
you are literally making the videos ive been trying to find lol, your channel is gonna be huge one day... keep it up!
Haha perfect! Trying to get through all the different things this career has to offer so absolutely more to come! Thank you! 🙂
@@CowTown Looking forward to it!!
Love it. I'm watching the video and playing guitar. SUBSCRIBED
Very nice! Next one is coming up in half an hour 🙂
Thanks man for hearing to the request! loved the video!! keep it up!😃😄
No problem and glad you enjoyed!! 🙂
I've found the controls to be insanely sensitive, makes it sooo hard to control. Think i need to update the sensitivity for my HOTAS as it's almost impossible
true. also on msfs2020, without the assists it's literally impossible to fly with helicopters
Definitely recommend turning on some of the assists to help out!
Go to Settings > Assistances > Turn on:
Helicopters: Assisted Cyclic
Helicopters: Assisted Tail Rotor
Helicopters: Assisted Collective
@@CowTown thanks! Will give it a go
Adjust the trim! Makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE
@@corrado.08trust me, its not. just as tricky as it is in real life ;)
would love to see you do the jet engine rating next!
We're almost there! Got a few other ones ready to go for the week so far but not too far off 🙂
Lears for the flights into Anchorage or down to Seattle.

What do you use for the collective on Xbox controller? I can’t seem to be as smooth and gentle as I want to be with the default A and B buttons
W vid

Thanks! But sorry to hear you're having troubles with career mode. Hopefully you'll be able to fly glitch free soon!
Had thr same issue after 20 attempts completed all the planes one and started helicopter
Anyone else experiencing issues with the introduction training? When I start up it immediately tells me I’ve failed and have to wait to get in the air but haven’t touched anything. Even did the cursor right after ignition so I couldn’t affect the controls and it still failed me
Hope you can get passed that soon!
I have the same problem, I'm stuck, I don't know how to pass that... hahahaha

How are people's controls so smooth? I have the Trustmaster Airbus setup and every heli is so twitchy
It's meant to be twitchy, heli's ain't easy! 😅
me too
Mine wouldn't be smooth if I had the assists turned off haha but if you want to know where to turn them on:
Go to Settings > Assistances > Turn on:
Helicopters: Assisted Cyclic
Helicopters: Assisted Tail Rotor
Helicopters: Assisted Collective
Could you tell me what's your sensitivity and dead zone is set to, I tried helicopters but when I try to go faster it wiggles like crazy.
Same but I heard in his video he has some assists on I will try that later.
At the moment I have all three Helicopter Assistance settings turned on. It helps out a ton! Especially if you're new to them!

@@CowTownlegend thanks for getting back so quick! Keep up with the videos!
I get so lost without my blue boxes thoughXD no matter how many times i redo the instrument training, the map still confuses me so much
Just got to get some more practice in and you'll be a pro without the boxes! 🙂
Hi, I have this licence as well, but for missions it only offers me the Cessna. What am I doing wrong?
Just have to make more progress throughout the map and you'll start seeing different aircraft to use and all that!
Ngl I was shouting at the screen when you didn’t see the airfield you didn’t see the arrows on the ground 😂
Was just enjoying the scenery too much! 😂
Taxi is the hardest part , I’m using hosts one
Absolutely!
For these career mode 'missions', I see that it just asks you to use the engine start keybind to start the engine. Does it work if we actually start it manually from cold and dark? Or would that fail the mission?
You can start it manually as well 🙂
I no nothing about helicopters or protocols but why do you have to taxi and use a run way
I go via helicopter 4 times a month for work, in both the UK and Germany they taxi at take off and landing and I've never understood it. When we arrive at our vessel there's just a helipad so it's vtol
Varies from airport to airport and also how much traffic you have but you learn how to do both irl.
Hey can you please help me I can't turn off those annoying blue rectangles in career mode. I turned off flight path in assistances but they still show up for some reason

@@CowTown How do you start your own company? That tab is still locked for me.
You need to progress through a bit further in the specializations!
I need help whenever i land the helicopter the trainer tells me well done and done nothing happens its on the exam mission for rotor craft i tried shutting of the engine and all
And after you (Control + Shift + E) are you also applying the rotor brakes? (Control + Space) That'll trigger the missions end
I have done the turbine engine test and got that license
This was so damn hard. Idk how you got A on all the training
Helicopters definitely are a different breed! But training I did it with no assists but afterward I turned on the assists to make it easier!

What peripherals do you have / use?
Use a Thrustmaster Hotas One and Xbox Controller 🙂
One of the few covering helicopters. Had absolutely no interest in them to this sim launched. Think the helo career might actually be better.
And more helicopter missions are coming up this week! 🙂 They’re a blast to fly!
The missions want u to taxi from one side to the other to take off I skip that part
how did you get asists on in career mode, i cant get it only in free world?
The assistance menu is available in Career mode as well 🙂
@CowTown strange it will not allow me to enable it 😭, but thank you for replay
How did you turn off the boxes?
Head to Settings > Assistances > Visual Assistance > Flight Path Off
Or, you can set a keybind for "Toggle Visual Assistances Display" in the settings. The Xbox Controller is click the left stick and some flight sticks and such already have a key bind set!
Thank you!
Why would you turn the boxes off? You're new to the game, you need to learn these things.
This is really hard for me😅😅
You got this! (Also recommend turning on the Helicopter Assists in settings to help out!)
I manage to land it but it would say I passe so had to restart and in same situation 😂
