Collective control in Sim mode

[Unicorn0578]

I started a thread re: Trim and Auto Hover and while trying to resolve that problem have encountered a different problem so thought a new thread would make sense as I have yet to resolve the other problems.

 

I set the game on Simulation preset settings and now I am unable to increase collective to take off after start up ‘Windows and Home’. :thumbup:

 

On the virtual control display ‘control and enter’ no input is shown for throttle change when I move the throttle joystick slider. :(

 

I did press page up to increase revs but with no collective input all I can do is wobble about and damage the helicopter…..:joystick:

 

Thanks

Make sure you have you sticks throttle mapped to "flight control collective" in the axis commands section of the control setup menu and not to throttle.

Yeah you should check what Eddie suggested. Collective, by default, is assigned to a slider rather than throttle stick in my HOTAS.

Also, note that there are different mappings for Sim and Game. If you set the collective to your stick throttle in Game settings, but not in Sim, you won't have collective while in Simulator settings.

Thanks Guys !!!!!

 

All fine now, didnt imagine controls would be different in Game and Sim mode :pilotfly:

 

To celebrate I took this screenshot of my near perfect first landing in Sim mode :D

Not bad, especially for a 1st try.

I mean the fuselae looks intact, and so does the canopy so you would probably have survifed.

And any landing you survife is a good landing if ya ask me.:joystick:

This is what my real-life flight instructor taught me when we were in the basic flight leg:

"If you survive, it's a landing, if the aircraft can fly again, it's a good landing." (Roughly translated.)

 

So yup, congratulations on your first landing. :D
