Hello there,

 

i am just curious, as i can‘t find anything about it, does the „Collective Friction Clutch“ in the Mi-24 (and also the Mi-8) work or do anything?

 

In the Ka-50 it resets the altitude for the altitude hode mode.

 

Thank you!

The collective has a hydraulic clutch that means it takes about 55-70 lbs of force to move the collective. Pressing the clutch button on the collective reduces the force to 5-11 lbs IIRC. So really in reality you only move the collective with that button pressed. It just happens to also cancel altitude hold

 

I haven’t seen it able to “reset” the altitude of the altitude hold though in game…. Just turns it off

Thank you for your explanation, so mapping/using the switch is practically pointless?

 

Thanks!

There is a setting in special options to make it so collective can’t move unless that button is pressed, kindve emulating the clutch. For some set ups and preferences some people might like it that way. Your choice. You’re not missing out on anything by just moving your collective normally

Yes you‘re right of course, unless you want that function 👍🏻
