Loss of rudder control mid-flight

Post by nasukaren »

I'm greatly enjoying Heli-X on my MacBook Pro and my JR XP6102 transmitter.

One thing I've noticed is that I often lose rudder control and my heli starts piroing out of control . I turned the sticks display on and it doens't seem to be a controller problem as the sticks are properly centered and respond -- but the tail roto doesn't seem to work at all.


Is this a bug? Or is it a "feature" that realistically tells us what happens when our tail rotor belt comes off? :-)

Hi Karen,

yes, it is a feature. It is a tail rotor crash. It happens, when the tail rotor has contact with the bottom. In this case you have to repair the heli, i.e. you have to reset the heli (menu Shortcuts)

Dear Michael -

Thank you for the fast reply! OK, I understand. It really is like a real bird!

I've been promoting Heli-X wherever I go! It's a great sim!
