Can you save controller dead zone?

[joernupbde]

I have a poor controller and use about 3% dead band to calm the heli down a bit. However, I did not manage to make Heli-X remeber this setting. Apparently "OK/Save" saves the curves but not the dead band apparently. Am I missing something here?

When you click ok/svae, then the controller settings are stored into the heli model. In Fact, the curve settings are specific to a helicopter.

Thank you for your reply, Michael.

I knew that the curves are stored inside the heli model. However, I keep failing to retrieve the dead zone.
Here is what I do:
1) Choose heli HELIX450
2) Set dead zones to 3% on all curves
3) Klick Ok/Save
4) Choose HELIX600
5) All dead zones are back to zero
6) Choose HELIX450 again
7) All dead zones remain at zero, while I was hoping to have them restored to 3%

Another hint, maybe?

Is nobody else using dead zones and got this to work?

Hi,

this is a bug. The dead Zones are not saved in version 4.0. It is fixed in Version 4.1. A workaraound coud be to include these lines in the xml-files of the corresponding heli:

<NickDeadBand edit="no">30</NickDeadBand>
<NickDeadBand2 edit="no">30</NickDeadBand2>
<NickDeadBandA edit="no">30</NickDeadBandA>
<RollDeadBand edit="no">30</RollDeadBand>
<RollDeadBand2 edit="no">30</RollDeadBand2>
<RollDeadBandA edit="no">30</RollDeadBandA>
<YawDeadBand edit="no">30</YawDeadBand>
<YawDeadBand2 edit="no">30</YawDeadBand2>
<YawDeadBandA edit="no">30</YawDeadBandA>
