Hi All,

Just got the game and have been playing around with it a bit.

 

I started the Campain mode and everything starts off fine. I have colletive to min, waiting for the 3 min launch time.

 

BAM! for 2ish minutes everything is fine, I'm running thru the nav points and map and the BS just does a hard roll over to the left and basically unless I am waiting and ready for it, it crashes.

 

Any ideas why it would be doing that? Everything works fine if I can get it into the air. :pilotfly:

I had this at first also. I had to go into the controller axis and check that the correct joystick/pedal axis were assigned. I think the game had set rudder pedals assigned for roll. Anyway more than one controller was assigned to roll. End result was a roll over on take-off. Once I properly assigned the controller axis problem solved.

If it were a single rotor a/c with a counterclockwise blade rotation, that would have been a perfect candidate for retreating blade stall, but I truly don't know if that's even a factor with the coax rotors, it's actually something I've been wondering about for a while. Does a BS experience retreating blade stall at high speeds? Just curious.

I think the blades intersect before it becomes a problem, but ED or Kamov would be able to provide the definitive answer.

I found this: (not specific to the BS)

 

The U.S. Department of Transportation has published a “Basic Helicopter Handbook”. One of the chapters in it is titled, “Some Hazards of Helicopter Flight'. Ten items of hazards have been listed to indicate that a typical single rotor helicopter has to deal with. The unique coaxial rotor design either reduces or completely eliminates these hazards. The following list indicates which:

  • Settling with power - Reduced
  • Retreating blade stall - Reduced
  • Medium frequency vibrations - Reduced
  • High frequency vibrations - None
  • Anti torque system failure in forward flight - Eliminated
  • Anti torque system failure while hovering - Eliminated

The reduction and elimination of these hazards are the strong points for the coaxial rotor safety design.

Thanks Lobo!

 

I had already been wondering why the rudders had the Joystick setting set there as well and had actually removed them before you posted this and sure enough, no apparent glitches at the moment so that seem to be the cause.

 

Thanks to all that replied.
