+Fates Posted March 19, 2004 Posted March 19, 2004 ok...this is a pic of the new Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising TacSim from Novalogic. Can you tell me what's wrong with this pic? Quote
navychief Posted March 20, 2004 Posted March 20, 2004 Hmmmm,..... Might the problem be the soldier's left leg passing eerily through the seat he is on, outside the helicopter? Kinda obvious! NC Quote
+Fates Posted March 20, 2004 Author Posted March 20, 2004 1 flaw...but not the most obvious one. There are many flaws..but there is one that should stand out <C> Fates Quote
Weasel Keeper Posted March 20, 2004 Posted March 20, 2004 Ummmmm.....no anti torque (rudder) pedals? Way too much weight for a Kiowa? (6 bodies in a 2 person machine) (just a guess, I don't know the capacity) No cyclic controller? No safety harnesses for dudes outside? Right seater's foot stuck through the floor. Pilot isn't in flight gear...same as soldiers. Should have flight helmet with comms and flight suit? Along the same lines, shouldn't the right seater be a co pilot? I think he wants out in the "heat". Water is brown...or is that a mirage? :) Quote

(6 bodies in a 2 person machine) (just a guess, I don't know the capacity) This is a Huey 500 Model...adn I've seen them take on a pilot +4 on the Skids here at Indy State Police SWAT team... No cyclic controller? (The Cyclic is out of View) No safety harnesses for dudes outside? TRUE Right seater's foot stuck through the floor. TRUE Pilot isn't in flight gear...same as soldiers.

The PILOT should be on the RIGHT side...not the LEFT. Although helicopters (many) can be flown from either side, it is SOP for them to be flown from the RIGHT seat...not the left. <C> Fates Quote
Bab Zubecks Posted April 7, 2004 Posted April 7, 2004 In a helicopter, the pilot is on the RIGHT, opposite of fixed wing machines. Bab Quote
