Hell0 Posted April 6, 2023 Posted April 6, 2023 I wasn’t able to hover till I changed my curve on the throttle. I was accelerating to quickly which would put me in a spin at default settings. To much torque. I’m using an x56. Cheers! 1

I was accelerating to quickly which would put me in a spin at default settings. To much torque. I’m using an x56. What type of curve? With slider selected? I would think that in the real helo, the collective input is linear but the helo's response is not linear because of real world physics. If the sim reproduces this, then curves should not be necessary. But it seems a flatter curve at the sensitive range (landing and hover) may be helpful. Then again, I am no pilot. Just thinking.

Schlomo1933 Posted April 6, 2023 Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) No curves needed. Just be gentle with the collective . to use a real collective instead of a throttle is most helpful. Edited April 6, 2023 by Schlomo1933 1
Rogue Trooper Posted April 6, 2023 Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) Yes no curves required on the collective. The collective is linear.... what the Auto stabs do with that linear input is more the question.... for me there is nothing that the Auto Stabs do that warrants any concern... unless I am totally fixated on the percentage number on my HMD display and I am chasing a number. Auto hover in the vertical dimension seems to be a little twitchy, which is dangerous for an attack chopper but ultimately nothing problematic for a pilot concentrating solely on hovering. The true trick with the Apache is to look through the HMD display and fly the machine. The HMD display are guides only (very good guides.. excellent guides infact) but you must fly the machine first then use the the HMD display to aid you to be better.

Hell0 Posted April 7, 2023 Author Posted April 7, 2023 Maybe it’s the x55 by default is really sensitive. Adding curve makes it react slower. I guess you could say it’s twitchy.
Schlomo1933 Posted April 7, 2023 Posted April 7, 2023 All the Saitek controls are really unprecise and twitchy. I had 10 years ago the x55 and the saitek pedals…. Was never happy with this … cheap solution . The first and most important step into better skill is a proper hotas system. Expensive but you won’t regret it. 1
