Hi, I have updated the three "old" helis as350 (Ecureuil/A-Star), bell206 (Jet Ranger) and ch47 (Chinook). All three are using the 3D model of the bo and most parameters are not realistic. But they have the main parameters of the rotors. Therefore the as350 reacts much more delayed than the bo and the bell206 reacts much more delayed than the as350. Compared with the bo it's a total different flying. And if you are familiar with the bo you will probably think: How it is possible to hover the Jet Ranger precise? (maybe the real is a little bit easier to fly? The c.g. has big influence and I don't know where it is.) On the other hand: If you thought, the flightgear bo is to easy to fly, try these.
The ch47 is only to demonstrate, how a two rotor heli is controlled. (the as350 has a main rotor rotating clockwise, while the bo has a main rotor rotating counter clockwise. The animation is always the same (and therefore wrong for the as350). I am in doubt, if I should change the code to correct the angles for the animation (e.g. this would mean an incidence of 180 degree as default for clockwise rotating rotors). What do the modelers think?) Best regards, Maik ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
