I just got training in my new Gazelle module.

 

I had seen before videos like this:

 

 

showing some weird ( IMO ) behaviour, but yesterday after completing the startup training mission I decided to lift off by pulling the collective slowly until the Gazelle lifts from ground and enters IGE, and then, without ANY cyclic or anti-torque correction, I climbed all the way up this way, rolling around the vertical axis, with no drift or drag hint or displacement requiring cyclic corrections ...

 

I repeated with the AP and it's three channels disengaged, and the same is possible :-/

 

Also, the trim options for "left wing down..." and pitch seem swapped ? I programmed a button for left wing down and the heli rolls right, another one for nose down, and the heli pitches up ?

Maybe this will help?

I don't own this module, just remember reading about a solved similar issue.

Thank you So Much Holton! That must be it !!!

 

Still at the cafeteria, reading the manual and browsing the ED and AVSIM forums, but will try it ASAP at home !

Glad to help, but no cred to me ;-)

Just tested it - was the FFB enabled in the Game Options, when I do not have one !

 

But that total lack of need to compensate for collective adjustments, even with SAS and trim OFF, as soon as we get away from near stationary still puzzles me :-/

 

Is the real Gazelle that "easy" to cope with when collective is lowered / pulled ( even abruptly ) without requiring any sort of anti-torque ( rudder ) input ?

 

To make sure it wasn't the SAS, I turned of the AP and all of the three SAS channels as well as the mag trim, but still no need for rudder input with collective adjustments if I have a fwd movement with just a médium speed.
