Not stable

[Hunden Ynk]

Ok, I don't know how common auto-hover-systems are, my hunch, they're rare. The Huey at least have no auto what so ever. Hopefully some vet will enlighten us...

Ah ok.

 

BTW what add ons should be installed ? I feel the terrain looks very barren. Are there any maps like Afghanistan ? apologize to put this up here , but if you guys suggest me to put it up in the scenery section then i will.

 

I have a second logitech attack 3 maybe I could mod that in to a collective.

[humptydumpty]

BTW guys I am flying her like a sports car :) she is a pure beauty. As you fellows said the trick is the TRIM due to the Co-axial rotors. Thnx to all. She responds sweetly but only if you be gentle with her just like a woman :). Just wish if there was KA 50 for X plane 10 as I could have roamed all over the world.

 

I made a good landing. flew her properly levelled and level turns. I can fly her pretty low, Did hover her without the hover key.

 

I still feel the collective is a bit off.

 

Currently Trying to check the speeds according to the altitude as she starts a warning at around 250-260 kts hmm but don't remember what was the altitude. so I have to lower the speeds.

[ShuRugal]

max IAS varies with altitude. The alarm will come on sooner the higher you are flying. Something useful to remember is that the lower the collective is, the safer it is to fly at high speed. I have achieved and maintained (for ~ 1 minute max) speeds in excess of 400 kph by diving with 0 collective and feeding it back in slow and smooth until i had leveled off. If you want to climb from that speed... drop collective and raise the nose. sheds speed quick, but thats the tradeoff.

I think the alram went off at around 260 kts @ 350 AGL.

 

I don't have trouble gaining or loosing altitude or maintaing a levelled flight.

[St3v3f]

Sounds about right.

 

The indication is kph not kts, and it indicates ground not airspeed. So it also is dependent on wind.

K.

 

There are two ground speeds once when you have head wind and the other is on the ground taxiing.

[St3v3f]

Two ground speeds? Maybe if you've got a flux capacitor installed ;)

 

Maybe you mean True Airspeed which is Ground Speed corrected for wind?

max speed before alarm is adjusted by Altitude MSL, not AGL.

Hmmm, well there are four speeds CAS / IAS / TAS / GS

 

I forgot about the speeds don't remember them well. I just had ground training long back but never completed the flight training.

 

e.g. if you are flying @270 kts, and there is a head wind of 20kts then it is your ground speed which will be 250 kts. and similar with the tail wind.

 

your taxing speed is also your ground speed.

 

I think you are talking about WCA in the second line I guess. which is a bit different , WCA is used when the wind is coming from different angles. and there again is a calculation to adjust the nose position.

you sure ?

[Luzifer]

you sure ?

 

It wouldn't make any sense otherwise. Max speed is given in true air speed and the relation between indicated and true air speed depends on air pressure. Air pressure depends on altitude above sea level, ground elevation doesn't come into it.

k. thnx man.

I have mapped my joystick button to the Trim but i do not think it is trimming well.

 

If i have to keep trimming her during flight then what will happen during attack runs or dogfights , i would not trim at that moment.

 

Of course the speed will drop on altitude gain.

 

I shut off the AP thing and i fly her better.

 

Helicopters do not usually dogfight. It is best to think of a Black Shark as a flying tank. I would never take on a fixed wing with a helicopter. If I spotted an enemy helicopter I would most likely inform a fixed wing so they could go get them.

I do not think they are common at all. However a Ka50 NEEDS auto-hover because it only has one pilot.

You mean that the KA-50 has a switch to auto-hover ?

Besides the fact that with all 4 Ap channels engaged u practically have auto hover. However there IS actually a auto-hover function in Ka-50.. Dudes!!

Try LAlt T. U'll need to practically be in a hover to engage but it will keep you right on spot hands free. Use your "turn to tgt" (Q key) and your Ka50 will even point to your target for you.

 

Edit: Oh tip. after engaging Auto-hover check your Ap channels are good, if you enter auto-hover too early the Ap channels will all turn off and blink.

I like it when I hover her just by controlling :) its fun.

you can actually engage it ant any speed, itll help you get into a hover faster.

[BBQ]

A good skill to have, too!
