[MSFS2024] R66 Governor Off by Default

Bug Reporting Hub Aircraft & Systems
, ,
1

The governor is off by default in the Carenado/Asobo R66. There isn’t switch in the cockpit, and it must be bound to a button to turn it on.

In the real helicopter, there isn’t a switch and it is on all of the time by default, unless there is a failure and you pull the fuse. For the sim, the governor should be on by default.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• I also have issues binding controls to the throttle. Which ever control I bind to the throttle, it only ever changes the collective, regardless if the governor is on/off. Is that the correct behavior?

What’s the exact keybinding to use as a workaround?

I have ‘governor on’ and ‘governor off’ set to buttons. That way I definitely know what state I’m setting it to. ‘Toggle governor’ should also work, but you don’t know what state you are setting it to.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• The problem involves that, if you follow the checklist for a cold start, you finish with a badly-configure aircraft, whre you have to handle the throttle manually.
Binding some controls to switch on the governor is not a realistic solution, cause the real R66 does not have that control, the governor should be on by default.
