On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being best), how do you rate your Overall Enjoyment of this aircraft?
I can turn off the fuel valve and shut the throttle and the engine keeps running indefinitely. BTW what is the best channel to report bugs to the devs?
Some weird things happens if you push or pull the cyclic excessively. Its a good way to question certain flight model things that this helicopter gets wrong!
Abide by the laws of physics, dont invent you own!
Well, if you try to push the cyclic all the way forward you’ll lose rudder stability. I it supposed to happen yes due to higher torque, but not that excessively and not that fast.
I can get it to start, sort of, but the rotor never comes up to full speed, and most of the steam guages don’t work at all, just frozen in place. (Same in the H225, but at least that will start up and fly.) Even if I used the auto-start option in the 407, the RPM never comes up. The engine sounds also fade out to just barely audible. FS 2020 had the same issue with the 206, but at least in that one, the engine sounds would fade back in properly. This one doesn’t.
The manual start and shutdown process does not work yet, currently it only works if you start directly from a heliport or the runway. One can only hope that the upcoming updates will fix the whole thing.
There’s no door handle to click to enter the aircraft. As soon as I flip the battery switch, it just beeps endlessly. If I follow the startup procedure, it doesn’t actually start. It sounds like its starting and the blades spin but the sound eventually fades out to barely audible like another user mentioned in this thread!
It flies great if I start from the runway but that’s the ONLY way its flyable!
The wildly unrealistic torque spikes with cyclic input in hover make it awfully unpleasant to fly for me. To see what I mean, establish a stable hover and apply a hefty amount of lateral stick and note the equally hefty right yaw. This shouldn’t happen.
how to get in ???
to get in pilot seat and vice versa
