I am not able to fly any Heli brought to the Update.
I have hundreds of flight hours in Dreamfoil B407 and VSKYLABS Guimbal Cabri G2 for XP11
so these Helis are familiar. I use the same Hardware. But in MSFS its not possible to take of. As soon as the heli lift of it going complete crazyâŚleft, right, left, rightâŚ
I configured my Joystick to lateral and longitute cyclic axis and thrustlever to collective axis. Throttle is operated via mouse, Yaw is set to the axis which I used for every Aircraft. Did I miss something to config?
How does force trim work? I have bound the longitudinal axis trim to a button, but it doesnât trim at all.
What is the input used for the starter button? I have tried multiple controls named ââstarterââ without success. Since itâs not visible, Iâd love to be able to bind it somewhereâŚ
Force Trim works if You move Your Joystick for example slight forward. Then hold force Trim and release the Joystick. This slightly forward movement is now Your new neutral position.
For the starter I used toggle starter 1, this works for me.
I have two buttons on my joystick bound to âIncrease Rotor Longitudinal Trimâ and âDecrease Rotor Longitudinal Trimâ. Works great and you can even hear an electrical motor working during trim activity.
Edit: This is not like the force trim function on some cyclics where you hold a button, move the cyclic to a new position, and then release the button. It is more like a fixed-wing airplane where you push the trim button either up or down and at the same time release pressure on your control until you are neutral and in trim.
First impressions: I think they did a really good job with the flight model, the modeling and the sound. Just like the Bell 407 this feels precise, smooth and yet organic. Love it!
A little copy & paste from the âHelicopters are hardâ thread:
Here is a little test flight with the Guimbal. Assistances off. My landing was a bit rough though⌠I came in too high and fast got myself into a little Vortex Ring State situation before stabilizing and plonking down a little too hard. My landing before that, without the cameras rolling was super smooth and right on the H of the helipad.
It was just the answer on his question how force trim works. The B407 have this. But since the helis are unflyable for me I have no need to configure any buttons, so I have no idea if this feature even is implemented in msfsâŚsorry.
I love the Cabri! Congratulations, Asobo teamâŚwell done. Very rich and accurate sound environment, flies nicely, all systems simulated. Cockpit and instrument modeling is the best of any Asobo aircraft so far. Digging the GTN650 tooâŚthat was a nice surprise for a default aircraft.
I wish the Nemeth team had made the 407 to the same standard, but granted itâs only day 1 for MSFS helicopters.
Iâm having a strange issue with the Cabri. Not sure if itâs a bug, or something with my control settings making it do weird things. The above picture is what I see ONLY when Iâm holding my right mouse button down. Releasing the right mouse button shuts off all avionics. This is a new one for me, lol.
