First of all: Congratulations with the release of the Robinson R44! Already looks and sounds very good and I'm sure it'll evolve nicely. Some issues I've found in the first version: - Fuel gauges show fuel quantity with battery off. - Landing lights turn on with clutch disengaged. Clutch should be engaged for lights to turn on. - Collective mentions something with N2, not sure if this might be R66 related. I've never flown an R66, but I've never seen this on an R44  - Governor off light goes on when you flip the master switch. Actually, it's on all the time, not matter which position the switch is in. - Prime is turn and hold (spring forced) in the real R44, in the simulator you have to manually place it back to BOTH. Might be a designers choice, just mentioning it. - Audio panel circuit breaker pops when you put collective down and goes back in when you raise the collective. Not a feature on the real R44  - No way to handle throttle. Might be me, but when I assign the throttle to an axis on my joystick, it instead raises collective. - Blades do not start turning when engaging clutch, at least not with 50% engine RPM (yes rotorbrake was off). I would love to do some flying, but for now it seems I'm grounded due to the throttle issue  |

I managed to get the throttle working with the help of Sergio, my mistake, RTFM, sorry. But I couldn't make the rotors engage. Flipping the clutch switch (engine RPM around 60%) makes them spin very slowly, but they never come up to speed, not even after a few minutes. Mag drop nicely modelled though, good job.
It seems that the governor light goes off when the rotor (?) RPM goes above a certain percentage (I didn't pay close attention). Governor light should only come on when the governor is turned off manually.
Two more other things. Very tiny collective inputs already make it travel vertical at great speeds, so it is very hard to keep it at 0 FPM. Not used to this in real life. VSI also seems too responsive imho.

Found the issue with the clutch switch I think, Sergio says you have to flip the switch first and then close the guard. In real life closing the guard would also flip the switch.

Oh sorry...this thread must have been "slipped" away...as the issues were discussed in the other forum. I will follow-up now anyways, as there are other users who may ready this as well: So...During the 24th - 26th of October, we had some issues with the updating system which caused some bad files to be injected into the project, causing various "trouble". The situation was resolved and now all is fine Fuel gauges issue, clutch algorithm, collective textures (from the 66), governor algorithm, and other "weird" issues are now being a non-issue (the R66 "stuff" on the collective was a "bug", not related to any other glitch mentioned...). As for the prime "spring-return" switch which is not having the "spring" - It is intentional, and quite of a compromise due to some limitation in VR interaction. Thanks for your feedback!  |

Hi Guys i just purchased the Sim Software and i also have the problem that if i put collective on my thottle that i can not find any key or assignment in xplane to put in and decrease of RPM on my Thrustmaster could you help me please. thanks Kalle

Hi there! Sure! In general, you will need an axis to your collective, and another axis for the throttle. You fly the R44 using cyclic (joystick) and collective axis. If you have a rotary knob or a spare axis, then you have to assign it to the 'Wing sweep' axis. If you don't have a spare axis, you can assign the throttle to two keys. Simply go to keys assignment and enter "sweep" in the search bar. You will find two assignments for Up/Down is the sweep/vector system (can't remember the exact line at the moment...). You can find additional instructions in the included POH files to be found in the POH folder. Let know if you need further assistance! |
