Ok, I recently decided to redo my rotor blades for my helicopter, they good, I solved a few problems that stood in my way, all but one that I’ve never figured out.
So I made my rotor no different than the heli rotor on the game. Vtol collective to go up and down, throttle to start it. When I fly though, I’m using wings, so wing physics are on, I want them to be on so I don’t have to keep obnoxiously controlling my altitude.
But when I take off and fly forward, i think due to the tilting blades, the helicopter wants to fly to either the left or the right depending which way I tilt the blades.
I’ve tried inverting the wings (blades) but they don’t do a thing, or what I have tried so far.
All I want is to fly straight and turn on my own, not have this automatic turning situation.
If anyone knows what I’m talking about and knows a trick for this I’d be more than grateful.
Here’s a picture of the new blades, keep in mind this would happen with any blades (aside from the heli rotor, but I don’t like using those) I make.
This is my last forum before turn in, so I’ll get to this later, thank you.
@Airheaddivision Oh. No problem.
@TheFlightGuySP that’s also my fault for not mentioning that I figured out a way around the problem, thanks anyways for your time, I appreciate it.
@Airheaddivision Sorry, I completely forgot about this. Could you send me the whole helicopter? I'll see what I can do.
@TheFlightGuySP tell me if you want the entire helicopter with these blades.
@TheFlightGuySP thank you, appreciate it.
@Airheaddivision Sure. I'll do what I can anyways.
@TheFlightGuySP @TheFlightGuySP you wouldn’t mind at some point taking a look at it would your I’m pulling my hair out at this point and have tried everything my mind could come up with, I’ve been at this for two years and it’s been painful. I’ve seen another player do it, and I’m sure there are more players who’ve figured this out, let me know if you want me to tag you the rotor blade, or if you want the whole rotor.
It may also decrease thrust output by a little bit, but that shouldn't be a major issue.
If the rotor spasms a bit on low power then try increasing the mass of the rotor hub.
It might have something to do with wing drag calculation.
You might move the powered rotator on top of an unpowered, free-spinning rotator. This way the rotor assembly doesn't have a solid connection to the fuselage, which should, in theory, prevent weird rotor drag issues from affecting the whole aircraft.
This method will also eliminate rotor torque, so if your helicopter relies on that torque then this may require a rework of a few things.
