Free Flight, Free Speech

No. Clutch is always fully engaged when engine powered on. We check if the blades start to turn or not at Ng %10. Start switch is also released at Ng %40, which is the point of engine start. Your thoughts about %60 and the others are unfortunatelly wrong. This video is a good tutorial for huey engin...

No it does not. It disengages the rotor only at autorotation condition.

I understand English is not your first language and at first I didn't understand what you were after here...

I do my best.

I've gone from the rpm's varying too much to too less.... you actually want the rpm to drop dramatically when the collective is moved very fast.

You may reduce P gain.

1.) Is it realistic, when I'm on the ground with zero collective and I move the cyclic that then the helicopter tips over. My understanding is that with zero collective the blade pitch should be at or near zero and therefore there shouldn't be enough thrust to tip the helicopter over. 1) is a good ...

Ok guys. I ve wasted a lot of my time trying to tell the other forum members that they must take off their "blinkers" to have perspective. I understood i must not struggle with their egos, there is no need and no time for that. As i said, lets keep pushing forward. I ll say about some more...

I was thinking... it might be best with damping adjustment to make a property that you can adjust 'on the fly' until you get the right result and then we can hard-wire this value in. This is what we need. Superb idea if you can code it for me as i am not familiar yet with flight gear structure. con...

First we need to plan what we are going to do. A) Do we want a "realistic" simulation with our "amateur" efforts? B) Do we want to code a battlefield 3 style some-kind of a helicopter? Mine is A and i respect your decisions. We need to push forward and go beyond our limits. At th...

Bell_pilot wants to fly the helicopter without the 'pilot's instinct' being augmented into the process, and so that's the first stage. This will make it a harder flight for players like Israel and myself and I think Bell_pilot will be ultimately unsatisfied with the results and I suspect we will th...

Sorry for late feedback. I just had time to test it. Unfortunatelly i couldnt take off. It rolls right when i pull collective up. I guess tail rotor produces too much moment. i have problems with my scenerios too. Helicopter "dive" under the runway after rotor reaches full rpm. I am trying...
