Focha Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Hi guys, I've had an engine failure at 2000 FT around 100 KIAS. It was almost impossible to recover 60 KIAS and after that it seems that there was almost none cyclic authority to do the flare. The second auto I did was with full aft cyclic and the nose dropped like a rock. Anyone noticed any difference in auto behavior?

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted April 11, 2014 ED Team Share Posted April 11, 2014 Can not say I have noticed, did a autorotation recently in 1.2.8 ( after running out of fuel, say no more lol ) if you have a track it would help.

Yurgon Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I've performed a couple of autorotations from fairly low altitude and found no problems. As far as I can tell, the autorotation behavior is the same as in 1.2.7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimTM Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) I haven't found any difference (yet) after doing a couple of auto-rotations in the new version. I find in both versions that I need to temporarily pull a bit of collective to make the nose come up and establish an 80 knot approach. I start my auto-rotations from 1,000 AGL and bottom the collective within 2 or 3 seconds of throttle off. Cheers!

Focha Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 The problem seems to be with the trim. Starting a mission with the helicopter flying and then doing an auto, if you put the joystick full aft, you don't get the cyclic to be fully aft, you have to reset the trim first. Try that please and see if you get the same results. If you start the mission with the aircraft on the ground there is not problem.

Try that please and see if you get the same results. That sounds very familiar. I just thought it's always been like that. With the Huey, I never start in the air, and I trim a lot, so whenever I do an autorotation, the helicopter is already trimmed. Maybe it's not autorotation that was changed, but instead the trim when starting airborne? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Ive noticed in 1.2.8 that the collective seems to have a lot more authority now. It just seems like I cant get they heli out of the sky anymore, all it wants to do is fly. I did an autorotation earlier from 4k to 1k, and it felt normal. Landing however...felt like a leaf caught in an updraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
