Can anyone please clarify for me what the 'Free-Turbine RPM Re-Adjustment Switch' on the collective stick is used for. I see that it decreases RPM when in the low position, and I've successfully completed a 'Rotor RPM readjustment check' as specified on p331 in the manual... but could anyone give a practical example of a situation where I'd want to use it please?

It's a good thing that this is Early Access and we've all volunteered to help test and enhance this work in progress... despite the frustrations inherent in the task with even the simplest of software... otherwise people might not understand that this incredibly complex unfinished module is unfinished. /light-hearted sarcasm

Try descending fast (~200-250km/h / -20 m/s) in spiral. If you don't switch to low RPM, you will overspeed the rotors.

It's like an instant "increase difficulty" switch. If you find that flying in combat is just too easy, use that switch to reduce your rotor RPM and see how flying suddenly gets a lot harder!

 

Or yeah, use it to keep your rotor from overspeeding during rapid descents.

hahah... cool. That makes sense. Thanks for the info.
