Warthog hotas

[Zarma]

Hi.

 

Any tips on warthog shortcuts and axes curves ?

[Aginor]

Some people have reported that setting the curves to 15 or so might work well.

Zero on everything...

Learning to fly with standard curves. Did you manage to use the auto-hover ????

[1.JaVA_Platypus]

Oh yes. Absolutely. Auto-hoover is usable.

 

When flying with zero curves or dead-zone, only about 20% of stick travel in either direction is actually usable if you want to live. Most of the time, you'll be making 1 or 2% corrections. Also, once established in forward flight, you don't need any rudder input much. Not even when making turns.

 

Also, assign the trim up/down and left/right to a joystick hat.

cant manage to turn the auto hover on. I see the button pressed on the stick but no message on the control indicator. the slave button works from time to time.

[1.JaVA_Platypus]

Yeah. But in order to use auto-hoover, you can't go too fast in the horizontal and vertical. So going 200km/h and hitting that button doesn't do anything.

 

You can't go over 18km/h horizontally (forward, backward, sideways) and I'm not sure on the vertical speed.

 

Also, enable the controls indicator (Rctrl + enter) and you'll see an 'auto-hoover' indication on it when it is enabled. It does however not keep the heli perfectly rock stable. It usually sways a bit from left to right and so fort.

[Zarma]

no problem now to use the auto hover, but the slave mode turns me mad.

but the slave mode turns me mad.

 

 

Yes please! :music_whistling::lol:

I am now in this camp as well. Messed around with curves etc, crashed shortly after take off many, many times.

 

Got frustrated, had a sleep and woke up with the view that I need to learn to fly her, not expect her to fly as I think she should.

 

With that slight mental tweak, I now am up and cruising above Nevada and able to bring her down carefully and controlled. Sometimes it is the mental attitude curves that need adjustment, not the controller curves.

That's my philosophy too :thumbup:

[gospadin]

seems like the warthog should be used with less saturation then

50% cyclic saturation, 70% rudder saturation, and it flies great. just need rudder trim, because my pedals have springs in them

[1.JaVA_Platypus]

Describes every helicopter ever.

 

I find the Mi-8 a LOT more stable. (well, it is five times as heavy) and you can jank the stick around quite a bit before it gets uncontrollable. But the Gazelle really needs a silky smooth touch or it'll crash.

[tusler]

On my WartHog I set the Cyclic to 50 and Pedals to 70, left it with no curves.

That made a hugh difference!

[PatriotCFS]

I see a few recommendations for the cyclic to be set at 50% sat. Is this for both X and Y axis?

[Deezle]

I have mine set to 75% saturation, that's with a 3" extension. I have my pedals on 50%.
