Coaxial helicopter, Heli-x vs RealFlight

Post by wylliam »

Hi!
I am a beginner and thought of using Heli-x to train a little before I buy a coaxial helicopter and start flying at home (indoors). So I downloaded the DF5 and tried to fly it with Heli-x 0.9. To my surprise it was really hard (please don't laugh!) to control. I have tried another coaxial helicopter on RealFlight and there I could just fly around and land exactly where I wanted. But with the DF5 on Heli-x I had difficulties just to hoover!
So now I wonder, what is closest to reality?
If the DF5 happens to be "worse", is there a better model for coaxial on newer versions of Heli-x? (The utilities in 4.1 seem really cool but I want to buy something I manage to use :oops: )
Thanks in advance!

Sorry, in V0.9 there is no coaxial physics included. It is available only in v4.

Thanks Michael!
Does it mean that the coaxial helicopter will be more realistic and more like in RealFlight in version 4.1?
I actually tried the demo version with the quadricopter and it really is nice, the training are a lot of fun!

I've found the documentation on the web site that says coaxial physics were introduced in 4.0, but I can't find where it says that there are any coaxial models.

Are any coaxial models included in 4.1?

Michael,

Where would I find the model of a coaxial heli? What is its name?

Thank you.

Walkera DF 5-4

It should be in the selection list.
