TM Warthog Axis tune for the Gazelle

[AstroEma]

Hi all,

 

been trying to find the Gazelle with the Vive lately and wondering about the axis tunes for the warthog: I am looking for realism.

At this point I am using Chuck's Guide and his recommended tuning, but I am wondering if those tuning setup are real?

 

Moving the Cyclic and Rudder a single millimeter provides huge output from the aircraft.

 

Can anyone offer better tuning setups?

 

Cheers,

I recommend starting with 50% saturation on the cyclic, 70% saturation on the tail rotor, and 100% saturation on the collective, all with 0% curves.

 

As your skills improve, move to 70% saturation on the cyclic and 85% saturation on the tail rotor.

 

The advantage of keeping curves at zero is that when flying with a non-centered cyclic, you don't get asymmetric fore/aft or left/right control inputs based on your stick movement. Curves will have a steeper and shallower side, based on where the stick is currently located.

I am looking for realism.

 

Unless you have a proper cyclic and collective, there is no way you can translate "realism" into a 5-in long stick and a throttle quadrant. I've flown real helicopter simulators with the physical hardware and it's pretty different. There is a level of precision with the inputs that you just cannot achieve even with hardware like the Warthog HOTAS (unless you have a custom extension).

 

The best we can do within the scope of this sim is find the setup that we are the most comfortable in. The "recommended" curves and saturation settings are by no means absolute: tweak them to what you prefer. Some people like curves, some don't... same goes for saturation.
