straight fliyng

[ebabil]

when i take off from the ground, huey starts to roll left or right, always i have to correct by contra cylic action and i think it is annoying. altough status monitor shows the cylic positons is centered, what makes my chopper acts like that?

i try level flight ap and it is ok. but as soon as i disengage it , it starts rollling immediately

you have to set your trim before take off,...

Chapter 9 in the manual explains all roll/nick/yaw tendencies.

 

This is how a helicopter flies. Every change on one axis affects the other three...

IMHO you are talking about Gyroscopic Precession or Dissymetry of Lift :smartass:

 

actually, read the Helicopter Aerodynamics chapter whole, it will help you understand the way she behaves.

but in this video, he is using it like a bicycle

Hey i thnk i solve the problem, the user in the video i gave just before, mentioned CURVE 34 FOR ROLL AND PITCH and it worked a lot instantly.

Practice, practice, practice.

 

;)

 

Using curves for cyclic inputs helps, too.

Guys, this isn't a fixed wing aircraft. Helicopters are inherently unstable. You have to make them fly. The don't want to fly naturally like fixed wing aircraft. That's why the say the rotors are there to beat the air into submission. This is how a helicopter flies. They are hands on all the time. You cannot just sit back and let it fly, you have to constantly make it do what you want it to.

Try switching to "Game Flight Mode" in the options. I know, I know..."RUBBISH!" you say, "I DEMAND REALISM!". Just try it and see what you think.

 

One of the Devs mentioned it in another thread, and stated that the FM in both modes is the same, only dampening was ratcheted up in the Game Flight mode. The extra dampening was exactly what I was looking for, and is something that all the axis curve tweaking in the world couldn't compensate for. Now the Huey flies exactly like I anticipated it would. It still flies just like a chopper from the era before fly-by-wire and computerized stabilization should, it simply stopped fighting me like a badger on meth every second of flight.

Straight flying is going a kind of good, i have huge problems with pickup/hover and landings.

 

Even if i trim before takeoff, man its hard to control. I will try it in game mode first.

 

Thanks for this advise.

the problem si, when i release cycly for a few seconds , chopper instantly tries to turn upside down. is this the how choppers fly?

Helicopter will always trying to kill you, you must be aware all the fligh-time :smilewink:
