Autorotation Trex600 in Phoenix

[mikiemike102]

i have a question about phoenix simulator, I have realflight g3.5 you think this simualtor would be beter or good with physics as far as real flying? also can u edit the aircrafts to make the characterists fly how you want it to aka sertin pitch and tail rates etc.

Thanks!

In short the answer is yes and yes.

Graphic wise I think Phoenix is much beter. And you can change all parameters of all aircraft to match the real thing as close as possible.

how do you do auto's do you just cut the throttle and apply up cyclic

[kraaijer]

A little more then just cutting the throttle.

You need to "store" energy in the blades when it comes down. In order words, you need to keep the blades spinning when you come down so you can make a soft landing.

You do this by giving negative pitch (if you're upright). The heli will come down pretty fast when you do that, but this will keep the blades spinning. Then about 2 to 3 meters high you flare to bleed off forward speed and apply positive pitch to slow down the descend rate. Then land.
