JASDF UH-60J

28.3k Dipper  8.8 years ago

Single rotor helicopter with realistic cyclic pitch system, without any XML modding!
UH-60J is variant of "UH-60 Black Hawk" and produced under license by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. It's design is imitation of Japan Air Self-Defense Force(JASDF)'s Search and Rescue helicopter.
Controls: You can roll, pitch and yaw. Adjust VTOL to pitch control, +75% for hovering. You have to keep throttle 100% when flying, because it adjusts the angle of swashplate to deal with "gyroscopic precession".

You can't stop tail rotor because it uses throttle governor. I think it should be stopped when throttle is 0%, and should be switchable by activate buttons... so I hope it will be improved in future update.

Huge thanks to Toscio's Ka-50 BlackShark (https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/j69F5h/Ka-50-BlackShark-PKO-Unit) and JoshuaW's Realicopter! (https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/g49PAU/Realicopter)! Feel free to use it's main rotor to create your own helicopters!
