Helicopter RPM

Postby harvair » Wed Jul 27, 2005 4:43 am

All Helicopters will not power up to take off RPM.
They just idle.
Helicopters chosen mid flight plummet to earth.
How can I fix this without reinstalling all my copters?

Try pushing your throttle level on your joystick. Have you changed any configuration in the controls? Also try pushig F4 and see if that gets you throttled up...

Open the Collective, an up arrow icon, and increase the throttle twist grip to 'open'. Or hit Ctrl+F4 to select full open throttle

Sidenote: On a 'chopper' the joystick throttle controls the collective pitch of the rotor blades, not the engine/rotor rpm.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.
