74th_Gryphon Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) Hi guys, I got the Hind in the Autumn sale and have been enjoying it and the Hip since! However since the last patch yesterday I have noted that when in a cold or hot helicopter that autopilot stability won't stay on like it used to pre-patch. I think it must be a generator thing, because the sight keeps going on and off, along with the fan. The AP stabilisation also goes on and off (or doesnt even turn on in autostart). I am not doing anything different to before, and my control mapping hasn't changed. So I haven't a clue of this new feature is a bug or intentional change.

AeriaGloria Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Your rotor rpm is always above 87%? You might just be being too heavy on collective Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiki Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 I don't see anything like you described. Can you post a track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAXsenna Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 "Autopilot" turns off when the generator goes offline, and you need to manually turn it in again. Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats usually the problem with handling the collective too roughly. Generators whent off when main rotor RPM goes under 87% and its shuts down the autopilot. You need to be more gentle with collective. 132nd vWing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeriaGloria Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 The manual warns you to raise collective 1 degree/second to stop rotor droop (rotor rpm decreasing). This usually works unless you have collective near bottom (1-3 degrees), you want to gently increase it until engine rpm is 90-95%, then you have more freedom to be rough with collective. In normal conditions you can pull 13-14 degrees without rotor droop The engines themselves take 8-9 seconds to spool up from idle, and the governor only commands this when rotor rpm is below 95% (unless you mess with turbine rpm adjust.) So a other way to raise collective when it’s really low is just raise collective until rotor rpm is below 94%, then your engines will start accelerating 1 Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuseKofte Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 I actually managed to set #1 engine on fire by pulling the collective too fast cool dm modeling. But that was in a KA 50 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I fly very little msfs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAXsenna Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Engine in flight and clutch during startup? ISTR you could destroy clutch if too fast on engagement?I have no idea. It's a special setting option. Might be explained in the manual why excessive movement breaks the turbine.
