CaptainCaleb Posted Friday at 10:32 PM Posted Friday at 10:32 PM Hi guys! When I start a flight in the 'ol hip, whenever I move the collective up or down, one of the generators fail, and send me towards the ground! And only sometimes do I recover. And then the second generator fails, repeating the plummet! and if I manage to recover from the second generator fail, I can fly safely after that because there are no more generators to fail!? Any help would be appreciated!

Lixma 06 Posted Friday at 10:43 PM Posted Friday at 10:43 PM (edited) Increasing collective too quickly will decrease RPM which can cause generator failure. Also, check you haven't mapped your controller to Throttle (Collective) It needs to be mapped to Flight Control Collective Edited Friday at 10:45 PM by Lixma 06 1

It’s best to get some basic knowledge about helicopter aerodynamics if you’re serious about getting into DCS helicopters 1 Spoiler Ryzen 7 9800X3D | 96GB G.Skill Ripjaws M5 Neo DDR5-6000 | Asus ProArt RTX 4080 Super | ASUS ROG Strix X870E-E GAMING | Samsung 990Pro 2TB + 990Pro 4TB NMVe | VR: Varjo Aero VPC MT-50CM2 grip on VPForce Rhino with Z-extension | VPC CM3 throttle | VPC CP2 + 3 | FSSB R3L | VPC Rotor TCS Plus base with SharKa-50 grip | Everything mounted on Monstertech MFC-1 | VPC R1-Falcon pedals with damper | Pro Flight Trainer Puma OpenXR | PD 1.0 | 100% render resolution | DCS graphics settings Win11 Pro 25H2 - VBS/HAGS/Game Mode ON
