How to fly the V22: Start the engines by pressing "}", wait for the rotors to speed up and fly it like a helicopter. By pressing "m" you can tilt the engines 10° fwd, by pressing it 9 times you get the aircraft-like configuration (you can do it on ground, too, the flight computer limits the tilt to allowed values and will increase the tilt if the aircraft increases its speed. Lift of before reaching airspeeds > 90kts or the rotors ...) For converting to helicopter mode just press "M" to tilt the engines 10° aft (up to -10°) or "alt-m" to get them vertical. Again, the flight computer limits the tilt depending on the speed. Therefore just press "alt-m" at any speed and reduce the speed. (Be careful, the large rotors are acting as a huge brake. Maybe I need to tune the minimum incidence of the blades in aircraft mode.) It converts to helicopter mode automatically. The V22 is very easy to fly. All your controls are fed into the flight computer which calculates the "correct" output for the rotors and surfaces. (ok, there are some problems with the rudder function) I have information about the conversion between aircraft mode and helicopter mode, but I have no information about the real flight characteristic. Therefore the parameters for the flight computer are pure guessed. Best regards, Maik By the way: If someone has better sound for the moving wing etc. (I have used blurred sounds of several tools (drill, mixer, ...)).... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
