ZQuickSilverZ Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 I do not understand what this number represents. I thought it was drift/acceleration but I do not appear to be drifting whatsoever. I have monitored the aircraft and aircraft shadow in F2 for 15 minutes with no apparent drift. F10 also shows speed as 0. null I need, I need, I need... What about my wants? QuickSilver original.

Floyd1212 Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 It would appear that you are hovering stationary in 11 knots of wind. If you flip the IHADSS Symbology to Transition or Cruise modes you will see both TAS and Ground Speed at the same time. 1

ZQuickSilverZ Posted October 24, 2023 Author Posted October 24, 2023 Thank you for the info. I was having a hell of a time before achieving hover because I was chasing that number trying to zero it out. Was trying to apply Ka-50 logic to an Apache. Which we all know.... didn't work out to well. I need, I need, I need... What about my wants? QuickSilver original. "Off with his job" Mr Burns on the Simpsons.

Trigger Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 Just recognize that I always fly in transition mode. Works fine for me, even hovering or pinpoint landing. Think, matter of training, training... and patience.

I find the Russian helicopters easiest to fly. HiP, Ka50, and Hind. I UNDERSTAND (very important) the logic of these aircraft. Gazelle is twitchy and the Apache is in business for itself. Huey is also easy to fly I guess but no computer assistance. I must say though I am REALLY looking forward to the Chinook. I need, I need, I need... What about my wants? QuickSilver original.
