G2 Cabri Rotor Issue (Should be Clockwise)?

My Cabri's main rotor turns counter clockwise…

I believe it when I see it. That would be the oddest of bugs.

US and Euro copters rotors don't turn the same direction. 

The Cabri is correct.

Stupid but that is how the real world is.

We have 110 60Hz, EU 220 50Hz.

No one is right or wrong. Just different standards.

hes stating the helo is modeled incorrectly, the Cabri rotors do turn clockwise in real life where the game has it counterclockwise

this instance it has nothing to do with EU vs US, its a glaring mistake in development

Why don't you try it by yourself before blaming the devs?

As you can see in this video it turns clockwise.

Thanks for the vid, my helo turns in the opposite direction (counter clockwise) from the vid.

I also get huge performance issues with this heli as well. I will follow up with a zendesk ticket.

Did you start it from cold and dark to check if it rotates counter clockwise or you started with the engine already running? Because when it's already running it may sometimes seem it's rotating counter clockwise.

Greta point, I actually shut everything down to see counter clockwise as it was coming to a stop. I will do a cold and dark as you suggested.

At the 6min mark in the vid is where I first noticed the issue on my sim...

Yeah, sometimes it looks like it's rotating counter clockwise, but I think it's an optical illusion. Some seconds after it seems it's rotating clockwise.

No it turns clockwise. Your later video proves it. Look at the initial start up. The rest is the way MS / Asobo tries to simulate the speeding blades. Too much like a video camera sees them, not like the human eye. Even a car wheel can look like it is spinning in the wrong direction at different speeds.

Looks like an animation artifact when the rotor is at speed. Maybe to do with camera frames and shutter speeds?

You can see it's spinning clockwise during startup at the 3 minute mark.

The reason I bring up camera frames is that you can see the same thing happening in this video at about a 20 second mark. The rotor appears to be rotating counter clockwise.

 

 

Just tested shutting everything off and it definitely turns clockwise.

Got it, Thanks. I will look again on my end to see. I remember seeing the opposite when I tried earlier, but I'd rather an error like this be on me than Asobo.

In the Southern Hemisphere it's clockwise.

Just to be a smug picky little bstard! :biggrin:  It is 230v now in the UK and Europe.  UK down 10v from 240v, Europe up 10v from 220v.  Harmonisation with our friends! 

Now if we could all just get our rotors turning the right way, that would be good!  :laugh:  There must be a few that break the mould. 

There are a few with counter rotating props when they have two rotors. 
The V-22 for one (maybe no classed as a proper copter), but definitely the Chinook - Hey now one of those in the sim would be great!
