Is it just me, or does the collective not actually go to 0 but instead stay at around 15-20% collective when I put it all the way down? I have to go into the cockpit and lower the collective, which is annoying because the helicopter sometimes rolls away. I would show you but every video I take showing the problem says it is to big.
Collective for helicopters

In which helicopter do you have this issue? Or does it happen for all helicopter?
-
The collective value on the info bar and the slider does not match, this is really a bug.
But not all helicopters can roll, only the UH 60. Here, the parking brake must be used. (Or pull the cyclic back.)
-
The overhead throttles can be reduced.
-
Actually, it isn't a bug. For example, if you were to raise the collective and land the helicopter, you can push the cyclic all the way to the front, and the helicopter will move because there is still some collective being added. If you go into the cockpit and grab the collective lever and push it all the way down manually, it won't do that anymore because the collective is ACTUALLY at 0%. Idk if that makes sense.
Rolling is not a bug. But the fact that the info bar shows 18% and the slider shows 0% is a bug
-
Here is. The collective is actually at 0%, only the value displayed in the info bar is incorrect.

In my opinion, the two ads show different data:
- at the top: POWER
- at the left: COLLECTIV -

When the collective is at zero then the display shows the helicopter throttle, which is correct at 50% (governor mode)

Ok, but then what is the situation in this case?

Why do you use the info bar at all? I only fly in the cockpit view using the instruments. That's the only realistic way.
The reason is because the numbers on the digital instrument panel are too small to read even on a tablet, and if I look to the side, for example, when turning, I can still see the values. I rarely fly with autopilot, I prefer to fly myself. (I rarely fly long distances in the passenger seat waiting for the stewardess to bring me coffee.)
Regardless, if the info bars have already been programmed, they should at least show correct values. -
Yes, you are right, there must be a mistake. If there are multiple pitch ratings, different values are displayed. -
Maybe the power in reality isn't quite at 0? You'd have to look on Google, maybe there's some information.
Something is not clear here. The name of the value is "power" on the simple and expert info bars, and "collective" on the classic bar.

IPACS would have to look into that, as I said I don't use the info bars.

Of course, the names should always be correct regardless of the view.

I wish I could show you all a video. It would demonstrate what I'm talking about.
Open yourself a youtube account. Upload your video there with public access and copy its link here. I do the same.
