  1. For the Limited Power Takeoff I first pick the aircraft up to a hover, check my hover power and use that as my simulated power limit, which in this scenario was 70%.I apply forward cyclic as necessary to maintain a level VSI while accelerating the aircraft to max endurance rate of cimb approximately 70 knots) before committing to the climb and adjusting for 90 knots and 500fpm rate of climb. The purpose of this maneuver is to provide a means of taking off when operating in "High, Hot and Heavy" environments and the surface isn't suitable for a rolling takeoff. For the Level Acceleration I again pick up to a hover, check my hover power 70% and then pull a minimum of 10% above my hover power while applying forward cyclic to maintain a level VSI. Around 55 to 60 knots I apply aft cyclic to initiate the climb while adjusting for a 500fpm rate of climb and 90 knots. The level acceleration takeoff is the preferred takeoff as it commits to a level acceleration and ensures you remain out of the height/avoid region entirely.Accelerating to Vx (best angle of climb, ~55 kts) allows for an earlier commitment to the climb and thus aids in obstacle avoidance.If distance allows, accelerate to Vy (max endurance/rate of climb airspeed, ~70 kts to provide the best climb and power margin. The Rolling Takeoff provides the crew the ability to takeoff in a "High, Hot and Heavy" environment when surface conditions are suitable for the takeoff.For training, a power limit of 10% below hover power (60% in this case since hover torque is 70% was used. First the stabilator is set to zero to minimize drag on the airframe. The collective was increased to 30% torque prior to displacing the cyclic forward and then progressively increased until the simulated power limit was reached. As the aircraft took off, more forward cyclic was applied to maintain a level VSI while accelerating the aircraft.
  2. Yep this is great. Its not immediately obvious what will happen and when, a quick tutorial: When you run it a dialogue will open to select the driver. This will unwrap in a temp folder, wait for it to finish. Select what you want to add/remove and click apply. You will be asked if you want to delete everything you dont want, click yes. It will only then ask if you want to install the driver now, you can click no if you want to create the installer to use later. You can view what is in the temp folder by clicking "Open folder". Press "Repackage" to create a new ZFX packaged auto installer, it will prompt you where to save it.
