Sarge55 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Great little video. Very good for someone just starting out on a helicopter sim. Thanks for posting.

StrongHarm Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 We're going to be seeing **a lot** of new folks when the Apache drops I'll betcha. Keep this handy so you don't have to do the "ok <sigh>, let's talk about rotor wing theory first". hehe. I found the animation of the swashplate especially useful. It's hard to put into words. 1 It's a good thing that this is Early Access and we've all volunteered to help test and enhance this work in progress... despite the frustrations inherent in the task with even the simplest of software... otherwise people might not understand that this incredibly complex unfinished module is unfinished. /light-hearted sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobie Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) Fantastic animations However, the guy could redo the engine part, he got it... too wrong even for general public, which the video is aimed at. One thing puzzles me in his video... why is he saying "main rotors" and "tail rotors"? "In the center we have our 4 main rotors" etc. I thought these were blades, and there's one main rotor (unless it's a Chinook or a Kamov). Is it OK to call these things in English as he does? I know English is very flexible, but... he got me confused.

It’s the main rotor and tail rotor which are made up of blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
