    Sorry I can't get my hands on videos right now. But refer to my other videos. Especially kzread.info/dash/bejne/k3ufwch9abWxd6w.htmlsi=4erw-Td9YlvEjjh1 See from 4:08. You can watch collective controll until touch down. left most vertical bar in the control ind. box at bottom right of screen is the collective. Simply put, autorotation performing, at least in MSFS or DCS helos, is to maintain forward speed and to balance falling speed and resistance to fall using collective. too much resistance will make you loose all rotor blade rotation speed.

  • @xtraversed

    Thanks for the complement lol. Yes, helo flying is serious fun. Although I am sure practice and time will do the job, some tips those may help: 1. Just stop pushing the cyclic forward then keep adjusting collective to maintain alt you want. Next time, if you become easy with the above, try even pull back the cyclic and of course collective control to achieve altitude or proper line of descent. 2. Try head tracker if you haven't. This gives more immersive sensation of being in the middle of air and so gives more urgent and desperate to land safely like a bird in its virgin flight. This worked for me lol.

    How do you set the stick up and sensitivities for the 500 ? Mine flies like a drunk is in control of it!

  • @xtraversed
    @xtraversed Жыл бұрын

    Actually, nothing special about the curve in stick setup :) Mines are almost straight line for the cyclic. The curves applied makes the hovering position farther away from the mechanical stick center. Even makes small, continuous adjustment required during hovering different between left and right. These make the handling of helicopter more difficult if curves are applied. (Curves makes less sensitivity around the physical stick center. But what we need is less sensitivity at hovering center). Several alternatives to lessen the stick sensitivity(so as to fine-control): 1. Make the stick physically longer (For my XBC which is gamepad, use Kontrol Freak or home made extending caps) 2. Just make the line less sloppy. That "extremity dead zone" to some positive values like 40. Of course this is limiting but I think this is practical for helicopter flying in normal situations. 3. Setting the "reactivity" to zero or very small value. Works in some different way. It's temporal smoothing. This also may help. (This is primary method for mapping 2cm movement of gamepad stick to 900 degree rotation steering wheel of a car in driving games). For me now and MSFS MD500, method 1 is sufficient and necessary when using XBC(Xbox controller). For DCS gazelle 1 and 2 is necessary. Hope this helps :) Also check my community post. there's snapshots of my setup for MSFS.

    Great piloting using the controllers. I'm an rc helipilot, and I also use to use my transmiter or Xbox controller. Seemed pretty easy and natural for me to control until I switched to a joystick rudder and collective. I thought It would be really really easy to finally pull up to go up. Instead of pushing up on the transmitter. But it took my brain a while to get use to the coordination needed by my hands and feet. But know I will never go back. So much more fun. If you ever can you should give it a try. I believe you will be hooked as well.

    the flight model is waaay off, looks more like a glider than a helicopter tbh. no way you can keep gliding like that once close to the ground. it seems like the authors think the blade system is a giant flywheel with infinite amounts of inertia. not how it works. your glidepath would be extremely steep in autorotation, also keep the speed in check, if you go a lot above the 60 nominal knots you won't be able to maintain rotor rpm, which is a real problem IRL. lose the rpms, and you're dead. there should also be a horn blaring at you at 90something% rotor rpm. you don't want to hear that sound, it's trouble. valiant effort though on the flying, considering the limits of the sim. get a set of decend pedals if you are serious about heli sims, and keep the ball in the center, very important expecially if you are landing on skids.

I don't know which to believe. I guess other than the DCS Huey, heli sims are pretty much non-existent, or at least not one that everyone can agree is close to the real thing. It's kinda sad because I have been flying the R44 to get some feel for what the real thing may be like, and practicing things like hovering and simple maneuvers. Oh well, I guess I will have to wait for helicopter school to make my own comparison and figure it out.

TBH, being not any kind of expert or practisner of related field, with my limited knowledge and experience, MD500 feels as real as DCS Huey. I can't distinguish out more unatural feeling of MD 500 compared to DCS huey. And I am acutally quite satisfied with MSFS heli fm. Of course many wishlist in various aspects but It's fun. And at least clearly feels more real than GTA5 heli or Arma3 heli. Good for you about the school. Hope hear from you about your opinion after that🙂

    the flight model is completely unrealistic, there is no way you can hold main rotor rpm with so much collective in descent; anything more than a touch to keep the rotor from overspeeding will depress your rpm and you will fall out of the sky. if anything, if you pull to cushion your touchdown, at the end you should be able to see the blades visibly spinning, they would get so slow. no way you can do those manouvers like climbing over trees and stuff. that's not how helicopters work, lol. there is a lot of the flight model for helicopters that is not modelled in msfs.

    Thanks for input and sharing your RL experience😄My collective input is visible only on trial 1 and 4. All other scenes are captured from replay so the input viewer widget displays incorrect info. Trial 1, quite constant collective used than rotor rpm dropped almost to 300. Trial 4, some last part. Others, almost zero collective until last descent or hard flaring. I agree with someone's input that with collective zero or not the helo glides pretty farther with less speed loss. But this is just my subjective opinion and my agreement doesn't make any judgement on MSFS. For rotor rpm decreasing speed I appreciate your input from experience but subjectively, TBH, not agreeing or disagreeing to any degree. Not that I have strong opinion but almost no clue. I may be checking a good many IRL vids of MD500 autorotation if the rotor rpm gauge is readable🙂
