Weta43 Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 Yeah, that is a good video. YouTube put it on my feed last night, and I was wondering as I watched it - what's the pilot supposed to be monitoring with the very big and very prominent ammeter (marked in milliamps) mounted right by the HUD ? Cheers.
sirrah Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 Also notice at 1:38, they use a SimShaker Jetpad for extra immersion! :pilotfly: (Really nice video btw :thumbup:) System specs: i7-8700K @stock speed - GTX 1080TI @ stock speed - AsRock Extreme4 Z370 - 32GB DDR4 @3GHz- 500GB SSD - 2TB nvme - 650W PSU HP Reverb G1 v2 - Saitek Pro pedals - TM Warthog HOTAS - TM F/A-18 Grip - TM Cougar HOTAS (NN-Dan mod) & (throttle standalone mod) - VIRPIL VPC Rotor TCS Plus with ALPHA-L grip - Pointctrl & aux banks <-- must have for VR users!! - Andre's SimShaker Jetpad - Fully adjustable DIY playseat - VA+VAICOM - Realsimulator FSSB-R3 ~ That nuke might not have been the best of ideas, Sir... the enemy is furious ~ GUMMBAH

I see "μA" there, meaning micro amperes. I am pretty sure that it´s equipment for measuring static electricity acting on the helicopter. The scale seems to show 300 and I guess 600 micro amps. Not sure why it goes both ways though, but if a rotor blade hits a particle in the air, it creates static electricity on the airframe. The more particles (dustier), the more static electricity. It looks like it´s test equipment though, not something I would expect to see on a production helicopter. Americans did a similar test: https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/282087.pdf Edited January 4, 2021 by zerO_crash [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
S. Low Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 Can definitely see the sluggish maneuverability, but stable high speed in this video . Looks awesome.
