tweaking helicopter cruise/high speed effect

#1Jul 27

Hi. Im not sure if this goes on this section or in feedback. I am having my first steps makings setups, this is such a wonderful tool! Ok I want to make a reasonable S-76 setup. AB6 at 50% hardware. I loaded the starter force trim setup, all good, but the shakes started quite early , soon i realised it was mostly the retreating blade. So trying to follow chatgpt

i noticed that the slider of retreating blade was not enough. because if I made barely noticeable at 140 only with poor gain, it pretty much stayed like that. Then i realised that the json file had a property VneKt that was at 130. So changing it to the more realistic 155 really helped.

So, did I do the right thing? was Vne hardwired to 130 for some reason? Is there no way to change it with the UI? with a 0.30 gain works really well. And im not sure what the OnsetFraction property does?

Hey,

Yes, that was correct. The helicopter tuning is still being tweaked, and certain things are hardcoded for ease of dev - can't test if variables all change. But the goal is to expose all controls; there's only a few that aren't already showing in the UI.
