Anatoli-Kagari9 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Disengage, or simply not engage during the startup procedure the autopilot cyclic roll/pitch and anti-torque channels and fly the Gazelle without that SAS ? I didn't quite understand how the trimmer switch works in the Gazelle as opposed to the UH-1H for instance. When I used it in the Huey, it set the last cyclic deflection as the reference "neutral", but it appears like it doesn't work that way in the Gazelle ? And no, I confess I didn't yet RTFM.... :-) Flight Simulation is the Virtual Materialization of a Dream... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noisy_lightning Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 There are two trim options in the gazelle. The magnetic trim which works as you describe in the UH-1H but then a trim which works like a conventional fixed wing trim. I have both bound to my hotas but use mainly the magnetic trim.

Anatoli-Kagari9 Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 Thank you guys... Will try to find out the default assignements for both and probably bind it to TS16000 buttons instead... Will read the Manual to check about that Magnetic ( ??? ) trim...

noisy_lightning Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Magnetic brake it's called. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grunf Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I find magnetic brake very awkward to use, with erratic results, so I never use it. The "hat trim" works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Real Gazelle pilots don't use that magnetic trim. I was under the impression the Magnetic Trim also set the SAS pitch and heading. On the cyclic there are 2 buttons for the SAS; with one pressed you set the course you want to fly. When you release this button, it keeps this attitude and heading. The other button is to switch SAS off. With SAS engaged you can completely release all controls for at least 3 minutes (according to the POH). Very handy when you need to grab your maps or to take a breath :-) http://www.aviafora.com/forums/forum/helicopter-fora/gazelles/343-shrieking-gazelles?p=985#post985 Note: the Mag Brake button is also connected to the SAS pitch and roll on this SA-341G diagram Is it not the same with the SA-342M, how does the pilot tell the SAS the current attitude is the desired one to maintain ? 1 i9 9900K @4.7GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX2070 Super 8GB, 1TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 1+1TB SSD, MSFFB2 joystick, X52 Pro Throttle, TIR5, Win 10 Pro x64, 1920X1080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
