correct as-is Anti-Torque pedal rigging since DCS 2.7.18.30348 Open Beta

And once again, pedals being in the middle does not mean there is 0 thrust made by tailrotor and does not mean there is a balance between torque produced by main rotor and thrust made by tail rotor.

 

So, if you don't have access to real life Apache documents that state that current implementation of tail rotor is wrong, ED should not change it just because you think it's wrong.

I'm not saying that it's wrong. I'm asking if it's right.

Also, I'm aware of the fact that centred pedals don't mean 0 thrust to the side. However, I think that idle power COULD be not enough to spin the helo around. You don't need real life Apache documents to determine that. It only takes asking the SMEs and ex-pilots that are reading this forums. And that's exactly what I'm doing.

I think you got confused here. Helicopter is spinning not because main rotor is producing too much torque, but because tail rotor is producing too much thrust.

For fixed pedals position, as long as there is full RPM, tail rotor thrust has nothing to do with how much power you are pulling .

How am I confused - this is literary what I'm suggesting.

Here is a thread with a SME discussing the tail rotor thrust after the changes made in OB ver 2.7.18.30348.

After reading the above it seems that the Apache indeed should spin counterclockwise when idle as the centered anti-torque rotor, by design is over-compensating for the main rotor's torque. Negating this effect can be achieved by a slight right pedal push or increasing the collective (e.g. during ground taxi). I stand corrected. Thank you for your patience and the time you took to clarify this to me.

I think my controls seem ok hmmm..,
