Touch rudder - instant crash!!

[mrtube]

Hey guys, i justgot myself re installed, after a 6 month break, needless to say, i have forgotten most of my hard learned knowledge.

 

my first problem is that as soon as touch and I mean the tiniest lightest touch my feet onto my rudder pedals, the helo immediately turns upside down and spins into the ground.

 

I cant see anything wrong in the setup options, axis assigned is rz and the rudder function on my CH eclipse yoke works just fine ( I wanted to use my cougar hotas and rudder pedals instead while flying the Helo, as its more realsitic and intuitive)

 

anyone have an idea what might be my issue? i have not managed to fly more than 100 metres yet!!

 

cheers, Mark

Strange :)

 

Post a Track - Personally have never heard of such an unfortunate State of Affairs manifesting itself. Easiest troubleshooting would be with the aid of a Track.

Mine did this earlier... Control and enter in the cockpit see if the inputs correspond to your rudder inputs.

 

My pedals are mapped to z axis - same as cougar but work independant... Weird.

Well, are you going at high speed, and then you touch the rudder pedals, hear the sound of something colliding, and then go out of control? If so, your rotors are colliding with each other. You can't use a lot of rudder at high speed.

 

However, your description of "just barely touching" the rudders doesn't sound like this is your problem...

Enable the "controls indicator" - RCTRL + ENTER

It'll give you a clue about whats going wrong perhaps.

EDIT; Duh - someone mentioned that already :chair:

thx, will look tomorrow, it was happening right at start of instant action, which I was using to re familiarise. So was not going fast, it was not rotor strike, it was as if the rudder was suddenly slammed right over, even then, i have never seen the helo react that fast to a control input in the sim before...

 

thx, Mark

It is also possible that the joystick axis is also mapped to the pedals, so you could be getting pitch input from the rudders too. Check the Control mapping in the options. Be sure to select the correct mode, i.e. real or arcade, when setting control inputs.

My chopper did the same thing and it was the collective simultaniously mapped to the throttle that was the problem.

Thanks guys, it appears to have been a combination of having two different controllers plugged in at the same time and loads of functions mapped to both rudders and hotas together. Thank you for the pointers, Mark
