Some quick pointers regarding setting up controls please

[markturner1960]

Hi, i have just got my new Helo sim chair set up and just about working......in anticipation of the Apache release, I am using the Hind to get some basics of Helo flying under my belt. 

Is there a guide regarding axis tuning, curves vs sliders, etc etc or any hints and tips you guys can pass on? One thing I notice is that at stick centre position, although the helo flies true, the controls indicator shows teh yaw axis to be centered to the left a little.....I just did a fresh calibration in the virpil software as well.....

In particular the throttles, there seems to be a centre position on the controls indicator and the engine note seems to increase as I push throttle forwards as it  nears it then decreases when it passes through it....Is this correct? 

Basically, I dont know how any of this is "supposed" to work so its tricky to know if I have a problem or not! Or what it should be! 

 

Thanks

It would make our job easier if you tell us what kind of controls you have.

In general, I avoid using any curves at all, but important  thing is to use what works for you

Hi, sorry, they are in my signature. Thank you. I have added a warthog throttle for the throttles....

While flying a helo, the cyclic is mostly not centered. It’s a aerodynamic thing. Also when you start or land, ( than is the cyclic backwards and right off center )
