I think "Dead mans curve" should be add to the fgfs wiki. Long time I wondered why my autorotatings shortly after start (simulatinng engine failure) don't work and I crashed. It is really nice to compare the different helicopters in FGFS: The EC135 is hardly to autorotate comparred to the S76c. I didn't try the R22, but it should be more difficult.
