Doing the funnel is no fun ...

[Chelco]

Ey guys,

 

Having a blast with this sim. Good job ED, you have brought me back to flight sims after all these years. Heck, I may be buying FC soon!

 

How many of you have successfully made the acrobatic maneuver known as "the funnel"? How do you do it?

 

I have been trying and I end up crashing the bird. Do you use the "auto turn on target" button for it?

 

Cheers,

No auto turn. Yea, you stated it correctly saying it is an acrobatic maneuver. Getting into it is a b-tch. I make entry with a forward moment. You need a steep nose down angle, 70 deg (crica), and alot of rudder input and counter cyclic input. Like the "cobra" its cool but has limited combat application IMO
