hi guys! i am trying to find a sound file for any helicopters that actually has a full startup and shutdown profile 'sound' surely there must be one out there somewhere !   also I have a prob with the collective to throttle 'link'  ie: when trying to takeoff the collective increases but throttle does not ' sometimes' , am using ch pro throttle but no lift off 'grrr'  any help would be appreciated guys !    'moderators please do not move this topic as it is already in other add ons wanted but still no replies' cheers!  

hey

in fear of sounding like everyone else....

what helicopters are you flying is it default or what ?
I fly helicopters in FS and I have a wingman 3d with FF. dont have any problems with any of my choppers.. another place to ask would be at the forum on www.hovercontrol.com ( helo Freaks )

There is an excellent Hughes/McDonnell Douglas 500E floating around. You can see a screenshot of it in the freeware forums umder "Cold Weather Rigged"

It has a superb sound file with it

cheers guys I will try those aircraft and krazy no it applies to both default and add on helos any further help guys?  cheers!  :o

I don't think FS gives a good representation of how you actually operate a helo. You need to have BOTH throttle and collective to properly fly. If you had both you could add power first then input collective, just like a real heli pilot does. I don't know of any way you can alter the control inputs so they function in a nonlinear fashion with just the throttle slider on the joystick. (similar to how you mix collective and throttle on one stick for R/C helos)

Ideally, there needs to be some sort of 'govenor' in FS to maintain constant rotor RPM while the throttle slider is just used as a collective control.
