Helicopter "Rudder"

Postby frankturley » Sat Nov 10, 2018 4:34 pm

In FSX and P3Dv4, the rudder control was used by helicopter aircraft to adjust the torque applied to the tail rotor, thus allowing the pilot to adjust the nose direction. This doesn't appear to work with the helicopters in FFS, is there another control for this?

Hi Frank,

This should work in FI too. Could you go to "Settings -> Flight Model" and see if "Auto Rudder" is turned on? There's a bug where it can interfere with helicopter rudder control.

Thanks,

You were quite right, un-setting auto-rudder gave me back rudder control. While checking this out I found another curiosity - when landing the B407 with the parking brake set to on, the aircraft appears to roll forward as if on wheels. Set the parking brake to off, and this effect disappears. I suspect the B407 wouldn't be equipped with a parking brake anyway.
