So I finally bound the basics & hopped in an instant action - ramp take off.

 

I'm curious how you guys bind your engines & prop pitch. Right now left/right engines are on throttle, pitch to the grey rotary. It doesn't seem engine throttle control does much, pitch is where it's at. I tried binding left & right engines to 1 stick so I could bind pitch to the other but it cleared the previous.

 

So how do you go about doing it? I do have an x45 & an x52 Pro, so technically I could add another stick but that's too much clutter for my desk & there really isn't enough room. Do you guys find you spend much time with throttle controls while flying or is it all pitch?

To me, don't struggle to bind Ka-50's throttle to your HOTAS's throttle.

I just bind Ka-50's Collective to my X52's throttle, that's it.

Prop pitch? You sure you posted in the right forum? We are talking about Ka-50 Black Shark, right?

 

In that case, the term is blade pitch, and it is primarily controlled by something called the collective stick. The most straightforward thing to do is to map this collective to one of your throttles.

 

Forget about the Ka-50's throttles. These are levers with 4 position, there's absolutely no need to map them to an axis, and there's even less need to clutter your desk with devices.

 

Just make sure that both engines operate at the Norm setting (which is the default in Hot-start missions) and let the Electronic Engine Governor adjust the engine power output to maintain optimum rotor RPM.

 

You might want to read up on helicopter fundamentals in the manual, where you'll find answers to a whole lot of more questions that you'll probably have. :)

I put left engine throttle to the left hotas throttle, and right engine throttle to the friction adjustment (grey "rotary").

The right throttle with all the buttons, hats and switches works as the collective.

 

Call it strange, but works like a charme for me. :prop:

And there is no better use for them anyway.

As it was said: no need to bind throttle anywhere for the Shark. You set the two yellow levers in the left rear to auto (2x Pg-up) and let the governor do its magic. You don't use throttle or blade rpm as a control input in the Ka50, you use the collective which adjusts the blade pitch. The governor will take care of controlling throttle so your rotor rpm stays where it should be.
