  • EC 135 and Komodo Twin EC 135 Throttle

    Quote from Jet-Pack (IPACS)

    The EC135 has a twist grip on the collective lever that has a detent at 50% of the full range. If the twist grip is not in the detent then it is used for manual throttle control.

    When you chose to assign a throttle input then you need to place it at 50% before engine start and leave it there for the entirety of the flight until after engine shut down unless you want to practice auto-rotations.

    If you enable the flight information at the top (press "i" to toggle it) then you can see the throttle input (at least for number 1). It should be at 50%. There is a significant deadzone around that 50% range and in our tests it was quite reliable.

    Thanks so I set it at the flight detent at 50% and it was then working fine.

    if you override the Fadec with the twist grip is there any way to reset the Fadec as even if you move the twist grip back to the Detent you are then on manual throttle unless you rest the whole flight? Thanks

    Thankyou I will try that, thanks for your quick response.

  • EC 135 and Komodo Twin EC 135 Throttle

    I am having issues getting the fadec to work with the new Komodo twin throttle.

    I have set the fadec to on but the throttle still stays in manual mode and I have to manually adjust the throttle or it overspeeds the RPM or I get rotor droop.

    Any idea how to get the throttle to match the ground idle ( start) and flight idle settings ?

    What would be really good is a way to adjust the actual throw of the throttle outputs so we can set them in the proper range as the current calibration does not seem to be doing that.

    I would also add my son has the new Puma X2 twin throttle and is having extactly the same issue.

  • Aerofly RC 8 Steam Version Updated and F4 Phantom Added

    Quote from Bellah1z

    Does the direct bought version get am update too?

  • New AI Traffic for Aerofly FS 2 PC Version, Video

    It's so sad that the developer can't do this as part of the program. Clearly they have more or less abandoned the consumer PC version now for bespoke commercial setups. I invested a lot on the software with add on's and we have been more or less abandoned.

  • VR floating planes

    Quote from TomC RLG

    Bellah1w I went from a gtx1080ti to a rtx3090 and I think it has been a significant improvement on everything. Especially with my wireless Quest 2 because the rtx2000/3000 havew much faster encoders. Your rtx2080ti is still a very good gpu imho. If you have money to burn go for a 3080ti or 3090. Either that, or wait for the nvidia 4000 series (2023-2024?). Personally, I'm hoping my 3090 tides me over until the 5000 series. I like to try to buy the best of any series then skip the next one.

    Always good advice Tom !

  • VR floating planes

    I have never been able to stop planes up to 50feet away in VR when they are on the ground looking like they are floating above the runway.

    If you use either your left or right eye on its own the perspective looks correct but opening both eyes it looks strange and out of perspective .

    Is there a fix for this?

  • From bad reviews, it should be corrected for the better

    Quote from TomC RLG

    I have the direct download version and I think it’s great, especially in VR. Looks to me like the Steam basic plus dlc1 would give me the all I need and would cost a little less. Plus I could then also use it on other pc’s without needing another license.

    Don’t believe every review you read on anything imho. With Steam you can find out for yourself and get a refund if you’re not happy with it (less than 2 hours use and less than 14 days since purchasing it).

    Hi Tom. I find in VR that if I open both eyes with an aircraft up to 50 feet away it looks to be out of perspective and hovering above the ground but with just the left or right eye open in VR it looks ok. Is there a setting to correct this?

  • Aerofly FS 2 Steam Release EC135 now available!

    Quote from J.B.

    Which controllers would you recommend? I guess with normal joysticks the spring is too strong?

    Value for money and value for use this is the best helicopter joystick on the market and it's everything you will ever need . You can learn to fly a real helicopter with this it's so good.

    Otherwise you need to buy a joystick and remove the centering springs.

    if you want to get serious and master rotary wing flight then the pro flight is magic .

  • New EC135 Helicopter En Route to Destination

    Quote from larrylynx

    Try listening to 4 radios, map reading and flying below 50ft, best not to loose that 50ft then :D

    I highly recommend a tv series (made many many moons ago) called Flying Soldiers available on Youtube, I believe 8 episodes, It shows what I had to put up with on my flying course, great fun some times terrifying most of the time :rolleyes:

    Looking for the show now ... thanks the worst i have to deal are is bin chickens ( a brainless water bird here in Aussie and all the Chinese airline cadets that train from my aerodrome...)

  • New EC135 Helicopter En Route to Destination

    Quote from larrylynx

    At the moment I "steal" the taxi and beacon lights so I can use them for altitude hold and heading hold. Also, as we discussed earlier a further one for the trim button might help if we ever get it to work.

    Main problem with helicopters is when users have to start looking around the cockpit for buttons the helicopter has a tendency to take itself on a different path, so having the option of some buttons would make it easier for the user.

    That was me in a real B206 this morning looking for radio buttons and losing 50 feet every time I looked lol!

  • New EC135 Helicopter En Route to Destination

    Quote from Jet-Pack (IPACS)

    We will probably add an input for the helicopter throttle 1 and 2 or twist grip 1/2. This can then be used for r22 throttle and ec135 man fuel control and other helicopter flight/idle selection.

    Wow that would be magnificent as then I can buy the Komodo EC135 Collective with double twist throttle. You keep making this better and better and my buddy Larry Lynx will be very pleased to hear this! 10/10
