Using FDC with helicopters

Featured Replies

Hi DaveHaven't visited the forum for a while. Recently been getting into helicopters with FS9. Purchased the Nemeth Design Sikorsky S-76A and I thought, wouldn't it be great to operate this wonderful bird multi-crew with FDC (I'm a fan and have used it really successfully with the Aeroworx B200 and the DF 727). Oooops...no flaps! Just as I was about to put your great product on the shelf to gather dust, I decided to try the following:I copied the following section from the default 172 aircraft.cfg file to my S-76 aircraft.cfg file and created a new performance file in FDC for the S-76 specifying one flap position. [flaps.0] //Trailing Edge Flapstype = 1 // 1 - tail, 2 - leadspan-outboard = 0.5 // 0.0 .. 1.0extending-time = 7 // secondsflaps-position.0 = 0 // degreesflaps-position.1 = 12.7 // degreesdamaging-speed = 120 // KIASblowout-speed = 150 // KIASlift_scalar = 1.0 drag_scalar = 1.0pitch_scalar= 1.0system_type = 0 //0=Electric, 1=Hydraulic, 2=Pneumatic, 3=Manual, 4=NoneI now have FDC running with the Sikorsky. Admittedly, I have to be a bit creative with some of the checklist calls (no collective, no cyclic, no hover thrust etc), but it seems to be working fine. One very happy helo aviator now that I can keep using one of my favourite add-ons.Just thought I would let you know.Keep up the good work Dave.Best regards.Oscar
