One Way to NOT Crash Your Helicopter in MSFS 2024

Discord:   / discord   Newsletter: https://lets-fly.beehiiv.com/ Let’s take your helicopter sim flying to the next level together—building confidence, mastery, and fun! HOGE performance in MSFS 2024 is a misunderstood but critical aspect of helicopter flight, especially when dealing with hot, high, and heavy conditions. In this video, I'll break down how to read and apply HOGE (Hover Out of Ground Effect) performance charts to avoid dangerous situations where maximum collective still isn’t enough. Using a realistic scenario in New Zealand, I'll explore how temperature, pressure altitude, and aircraft weight combine to dramatically impact helicopter performance. You’ll learn how to calculate pressure altitude, interpret performance charts, and predict whether your helicopter can safely hover or climb. If you’ve ever found yourself pulling max collective and still sinking, this guide will show you exactly why—and how to prevent it. Perfect for MSFS 2024 pilots looking to improve realism, safety, and confidence in challenging conditions. Scenery: Helisika Heliport FREE on flighsim.to - https://flightsim.to/addon/44659/heli...
