quick question requires a quick answer: x52 pro collective invert or no invert?

[Hekktor]

all helo sims PULL for COLLECTIVE (/signing what ruprecht states),

il2, lockon - push of course - it the THROTTLE...

Not Microsoft Flight Simulator!!! Hmm... Wait... I think I just shot my argument in the foot... >.>

Although I stand by my earlier logic for pushing for power, I have to admit that pulling does in fact feel more 'right', and so I'm using that too :music_whistling:

Well, to go faster in a helicopter, you don't pull on the collective, you push on the cyclic, and to slow down you pull on the cyclic. Similar to a plane, where you push on the throttle to go faster and pull it to go slower. If you want to go up in a plane, you pull the stick. If you want to go up in a helicopter, you pull on the collective. If you want to go down, you push.

 

So although different devices are used for the inputs, the movements are the same for both helicopters and planes, push to go faster, pull to go slower...push to go down, pull to go up.

Sounds good to me.

Logic I always use in a helo is: Push and the cows get bigger. Pull and the cows get smaller. Works for both hands :)

 

For a fixed-wing (using a liberal amount of creative license) pulling the throttle will eventually cause the cows to get bigger, but the other hand works the same as for rotary.

 

That is my Relative Cow Size Effects of Controls Theory TM.

I think you may "inverted " a few people here today Ruprecht lol

lol

Okay, but if if you pull too much the cows get bigger again. Works for both hands. ;)

Touché :)

I like to push to go up . And pull to come down , and so does my wife .:music_whistling:

She also prefers it non inverted hehehe .
