Helicopter collective setup

Featured Replies

Hi,

I’m totally lost with my collective setup… I tried first to set collective axis but it was impossible to get collective position under 50 % (picture 1). Then I tried this what was said in another thread but then collective was locked to 88 % (picture). I have tried both with Experimental Mini-500 and Guimbal Capri G2 and the same happens. What I'm doing wrong, thank you!

Best regards

Anton

(L:CollectiveGrip, Percent) is the twisting throttle grip on the collective lever. This does not control the position of the collective lever itself. Is that really what you are trying to move?

These controls can be different for every helicopter, in MSFS there is no "one size fits all". Try the default event: "AXIS_COLLECTIVE_SET". Don't just change your existing collective axis assignment. Delete it with the "-" button and create a new one with the event.

Thanks for the instant replay!

 

Yes, I’m trying to control the position of the collective lever itself. I tried to set Axis_collective_set and then collective position is locked to 50 % and I can’t move it at all.

Axis Min and Axis Max seem to be wrong. Try 0 and 16383 for those. Doubleclick into the box, then type in the new value.

Now it's like earlier and I can control the collective between 50 - 100 %.

OK, it have to be between - 16383 and 16383, now it works!

Then the SDK documentation is wrong. The spec says 0 to 16384. Not the first time that this happens -  and won't be the last either.

Just be mindful that for a different helicopter model the controls can be different events or variables too.
