I downloaded the OH-6 1.5 mod and it is absolutely amazing. VERY difficult to fly but one you learn it.. so much fun!! I would gladly pay for this if they expanded it with the modern versions!
@@CommandT Maybe you can help me i cant get my minigun to fire in training Ive got master arm on.. switch set to fire normal and the 7.62 selected on center dash. pull the trigger and nothing. Also when I click on the caucuses map I cant select the OH-6 it doesnt appear in the training missions. Any thoughts?
@@CommandT I figured it out when I put the weapons mod folder in I put it in a sub-directory in the tech folder. I moved it back up and the weapons started working. I still cant fly it in the caucuses map though Ill have to get with the devs. If I buy the Syria map.. can I fly the OH-6 in that?
I don’t have any rudder pedals or extension for a stick but i can fly this beauty like butter. It’s an awesome mod. Flight school actually wanted me to stop play sims but I cheat that flying this beauty and now I can’t wait to fly my favorite helicopter the killer egg
Personally I think if you're post solo and treat the simulators maturely it isn't an issue. It's also probably a good idea to not fly exactly what you fly in real life.
I fell off flying this after the Kiowa dropped but it sounds like there’s been some nice improvements since the last version I installed. Gonna download the latest now. I did find with my bargain basement HOTAS (the 16000 and TWCS) that the FM was almost too twitchy for me but I was getting it tuned in about when the shiny shiny new stuff (58 and 47) landed on my plate. But I love this chopper marque as a virtual pilot, I’ve spent quite a bit of time in the ARMA III version. Right. I’ll shut up and start updating…
@@CommandTI did! I’ve downloaded it and taken it for a spin on Syria. I can see what you’re raving about. Either my tweaks to the controls or changes to the flight model made the chopper a dream to fly. I’m currently struggling a bit getting it to land as it just wants to fly, even at nearly full weight, but that’s most likely a skill issue. It’s a hell of a lot of fun to fly.
Ships and heavy winds - no, the issue is the skid friction for helicopters in DCS - it won’t “stick” to the ship once landed but I’ll try for sure! And I might to CE2 in real life vs sim but unfortunatly the one in the sim feels nothing like real life so the comparison will be a little pointless
This is one of the most satisfying mods for DCS, it is absolutely great and I love it. Can't wait for an AH-6 or MH-6 that will be even more awesome. Just download the mod and enjoy it! It will make you smile, no doubt. I had almost forgotten to make a donation for all the great work done on this mod but that has been corrected.
Where is the Source that the OH-6 is officially coming out? sorry I may have miss heard. sounded like ED was making it official. but its the AH6, MH6 but still a mod.. So probably wont have door gunners shooting..
Welp, there's almost no way I won't be able to download it if they upgrade it to the MH-6. I've been retiring to Il-2 for a little while now, enjoying the original Il-2's ability for me to throw together massive bomber formations (Have you truly lived until you've tried slicing through a bomber formation of 50+ B-17's?) and the Battle of X series of games. But I know I'll be back in the helicopter fun of DCS before too long.
@@CommandTis it working properly for you? The up/down on the trim hat must be reversed (it is so from 1.0), and trim release is not useful for me, because after release this button FFB put the power neutral point sideways. And if you’re using only the hat (as must be in real life) the FFB give some force from the side too.
I’m mostly curious about how you attached the control stick to the floor, it looks like you built something yourself? I’m looking to do the same, just got a Moza AB9 stick but it needs to be attached sturdy to the ground. Don’t feel like buying some expensive metal mount, I’ve spent enough $$$.
That will depend entirely on your FFB stick as the settings vary depending on personal hardware and set up. I’m using FFBeast. I can share my profiles later for anyone who is interested.
@@CommandT I have the MOZA FFB base on order and plan to use the Thrustmaster A10C / F16 stick with it. Since the OH-6 is not an official DCS module i don't expect a profile to be made by MOZA, I welcome anything to get me started.
@khaledassaf6356 FFBeast does indeed support ffb pedals if an odrive or equivalent is used. Looking for a mod for my crosswinds ATM. TPRs are making me slightly jealous... 🤣
@@supermilo Got the Virpil pedals myself. Quite happy with them. Would've loved to get the TPRs, but honestly couldn't justify getting them at double the price. There's an FFB mod for the Crosswinds on the VPForce Controls discord, by the way. DIY. You can customize it to match the FFBeast if that's what you're using.
So download the mod here: github.com/tobi-be/DCS-OH-6A/releases/tag/v1.5 Then follow the instructions: Unzip and put the "OH-6A" folder into: C:\Users\XXX\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\aircraft Out the "OH-6A_Weaponpack" foler into: C:\Users\XXX\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\tech --------------- If you do not have the "Mods" folder in your "DCS.openbeta" folder, create it, and inside the "Mods" folder, create the "aircraft" and "tech" folders. Then drop the "OH-6A" into this newly created "aircraft" folder, and the "OH-6A_Weaponpack" folder into the newly created "tech" folder. All the asset packs, if you download them too, go into the "tech" folder also. Hope this helps! :)
It’s on the Marianas Islands. The scenery in terms of airport vehicles and clutter is my own - I added all that stuff in the mission editor to make it feel more alive.
it is not so good if you try it like AI unit. Ridiculously poor rotor animation, unable follow by route made this intresting mod useless for mission creators unfortunately
Yes, the mod currently does not support the OH-6 as an AI unit. This is true. However it’s not useless if you want to do co-op stuff in multiplayer. I agree it’s a limitation though.

Another great video :)
It's great to see how you always create these small immersive scenes with all the mods.
And thanks for the kind words!
Thanks, but mostly thanks to you for creating all this stuff! 🫡 Can’t wait for the dinosaurs to make a Jurassic Park tour! 😃
MH-6 Little Bird is inbound for DCS? Wow that sounds amazing!
Yeah should be epic. As a mod anyway
Hi, I just would like to thank you for your film. Due to your video, I decided to download it. Thank a lot and keep it up.
Pleasure! Enjoy! 👍
I downloaded the OH-6 1.5 mod and it is absolutely amazing. VERY difficult to fly but one you learn it.. so much fun!! I would gladly pay for this if they expanded it with the modern versions!
Yeah. It should be a full fidelity module at some point, I agree.
@@CommandT Maybe you can help me i cant get my minigun to fire in training Ive got master arm on.. switch set to fire normal and the 7.62 selected on center dash. pull the trigger and nothing. Also when I click on the caucuses map I cant select the OH-6 it doesnt appear in the training missions. Any thoughts?
Hmmmm. That’s very strange. Never came across such issues! Perhaps you should ask on the forum. The developers usually are quite helpful
@@CommandT I figured it out when I put the weapons mod folder in I put it in a sub-directory in the tech folder. I moved it back up and the weapons started working. I still cant fly it in the caucuses map though Ill have to get with the devs. If I buy the Syria map.. can I fly the OH-6 in that?

Personally I think if you're post solo and treat the simulators maturely it isn't an issue. It's also probably a good idea to not fly exactly what you fly in real life.
We need more display videos, I would suggest you to try the Turkish F-16 demo, great video again, alwayse really realistic and well done
I don’t have the F-16 unfortunatly but rest assured more display videos will come 👍
I fell off flying this after the Kiowa dropped but it sounds like there’s been some nice improvements since the last version I installed. Gonna download the latest now.

Glad to hear! And yes just keep practicing! It’s a tricky one to land well but super nice when you get it right!
Have you tried to land on a ship in heavy winds?
In a future video I would love to see you, side-by-side, flying the Christen eagle IRL vs DCS.
Ships and heavy winds - no, the issue is the skid friction for helicopters in DCS - it won’t “stick” to the ship once landed but I’ll try for sure!
And I might to CE2 in real life vs sim but unfortunatly the one in the sim feels nothing like real life so the comparison will be a little pointless
Where do you found the bus with roof helipad?
It’s part of the Playground Pack which comes with the OH-6 mod 👍

+1 for VR pilot body. It can be low fi.
Also is this mission available somewhere? I like how is decorated.
Thanks.
All my missions are available to Patreon supporters. It’s just my way of giving something back to them for their donations 🙂
@@CommandT Ok, fair enough!
Where is the Source that the OH-6 is officially coming out? sorry I may have miss heard. sounded like ED was making it official. but its the AH6, MH6 but still a mod.. So probably wont have door gunners shooting..
No it’s not an official module. It’s a mod. It’s all on the OH-6 mod form thread.

there is no force trim on this one correct ?
There is and it works 👌

A/MH-6 Little Bird is inbound for DCS? Where did you heard it?
It’s part of the OH-6 mod as I’ve mentioned in the video.
I’m mostly curious about how you attached the control stick to the floor, it looks like you built something yourself?
I’m looking to do the same, just got a Moza AB9 stick but it needs to be attached sturdy to the ground. Don’t feel like buying some expensive metal mount, I’ve spent enough $$$.
Yes I just built a wooden frame and bolted it to the frame
Pretty cool
What are the FFB settings i.e. profile for this helicopter ?
That will depend entirely on your FFB stick as the settings vary depending on personal hardware and set up. I’m using FFBeast. I can share my profiles later for anyone who is interested.

I wonder if they are going to make the T tail or D model of this bird?
Isn’t the T-tail a D model as well? 🤔
@ it is. Some refer to it as a T tail. Other a D model.
Good control though, that’s how it should look.
I believe there is an ffb mod for those trps
Yup. there's mods for most common pedals with the Rhino. I think FFBeast supports pedals as well.
@khaledassaf6356 FFBeast does indeed support ffb pedals if an odrive or equivalent is used. Looking for a mod for my crosswinds ATM. TPRs are making me slightly jealous... 🤣

@khaledassaf6356 Thanks, will take a look!
55 it’s is the best speed for autorotation in a Hughes’s.
It still have too much energy in main rotor, so you can flare so loooong and safe))
Ah interesting! Thanks
@@CommandTalso push the nose forward and level the skids before touching down and your run on landing will be smoother and shorter. Nice flying!
I need an install tutorial I can’t figure out how to get it to work for the life of me and yes I followed the instructions
No you didn't lol. If you followed them then it should work.
Put the unpacked folder into your savedgames/dcs/mods/aircraft folder
So download the mod here: github.com/tobi-be/DCS-OH-6A/releases/tag/v1.5
Then follow the instructions:
Unzip and put the "OH-6A" folder into:
C:\Users\XXX\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\aircraft
Out the "OH-6A_Weaponpack" foler into:
C:\Users\XXX\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\tech
---------------
If you do not have the "Mods" folder in your "DCS.openbeta" folder, create it, and inside the "Mods" folder, create the "aircraft" and "tech" folders. Then drop the "OH-6A" into this newly created "aircraft" folder, and the "OH-6A_Weaponpack" folder into the newly created "tech" folder.
All the asset packs, if you download them too, go into the "tech" folder also.
Hope this helps! :)
@ clearly I wouldn’t be commenting this if I followed the instructions right no need for aggression.
@@Lukeskysquwker there's no aggression, im just saying.
Sorry if you felt offended
What airport and scenery is that?
Looks like Marianna's
It’s on the Marianas Islands. The scenery in terms of airport vehicles and clutter is my own - I added all that stuff in the mission editor to make it feel more alive.
@ do you have the mission available anywhere to download? You did the school bus moving too?
It’s available for Patreons 🙂
Do you need a helicopter moduleto fly this
No. It's a complete free standalone community module.
Nope, it’s a standalone mod
@@CommandT sickkk
After the last DCS patch this mod crashed DCS for me and others in my squad. We removed this mod and DCS worked again.
Hmm, strange, seems to work fine with most people. Maybe it’s in conflict with another mod?
@@CommandT I think Ed fixed it pretty quickly. From ED Changelog: Nov 2: DCS - Core Game
Fixed: Crash instigated by invalid zip file used in mods
You keep weaving in and out about an official mod being produced. Where is this announced?
I didn’t say official. I just said mod. If you’re referring to the MH-6 it’s been posted on the OH-6 DCS mod thread on the forum.
If the little bird is good enough, I might buy the Iraq map just to play with it over there hahaha.
Yeah Iraq and Afghanistan will be perfect for the Little Bird!!
it is not so good if you try it like AI unit. Ridiculously poor rotor animation, unable follow by route made this intresting mod useless for mission creators unfortunately
Yes, the mod currently does not support the OH-6 as an AI unit. This is true.
However it’s not useless if you want to do co-op stuff in multiplayer.
I agree it’s a limitation though.
fine for online multiplayer, however
They specifically state it isn't properly set up as an AI yet, so that's to be expected
