R22 Low RPM Warning

Is there a way to turn off the low helicopter rotor RPM warning for the R22? It doesn't go away even when I turn the main battery on and off again.

The low RPM warning comes on when the collective lever is now down and the rotor RPM is too low. To fix it lower your collective or start the motor close the clutch and wait for rotor RPM to increase to 100%.

In flight, if you have altitude, lower the collective and pull the stick so that the rotor plane gets airflow from below. This can also help.

Edit: This is not yet autorotation, but rather a kind of motorized gliding.

Can you hear the warning sound?

I listened to it and then managed to turn it off. Sorry, You are true. I didn't even know that you could lower the collective by touching it. (I usually fly without sound because the family is watching TV.)

But this is very realistic and makes the game more realistic

How do you trigger the sound?
I think the sound is not very obvious

Is it like the picture?
The strange thing is that I still have no sound

Am I hallucinating? . . .

Yes, the sound is very faint. It was much more noticeable in the earlier versions of Aerofly

After stopping the engine, as the rotor revolutions drop, this sound is heard. It only goes silent if you lower the collective by touching it with your finger. You cannot do this with the left slider. I think this could be the Robinson's clutch, which revs it up and then permanently connects the rotor blades to the engine.

So what sound are you talking about? Where? How to trigger sound?

I guess this is more in line with the real world, it makes the game more realistic doesn't it
