Throttle curve settings

[twopart]

Has anyone a suggestion about the best throttle curve setting in the Phoenix flight sim for the training heli's?
I am new to this and find the basic linear setting very sensative.

Thanks

the training helis are pretty soft.

are you sure you have it configured correctly? if you go into calibration screen do the red bars move smoothly?

Yes I have done what it says regarding calibration. And yes the bars do move smoothly.

Maybe it is just me not being used to it ?

throttle curves

Ade I tried what you suggested but the throttle seems to be like a switch still.
any suggestions?

thats the govenor turn it off if you want in the model settings its only a simple case of unticking a box

[Ade_Law]

twopart, collective pitch helis use a constant rotorspeed. on most of the models on phoenix have a governor enabled as standard. this means that the governor controls the throttle to maintain a certain headspeed.

once its up to speed the collective works to give you control over height.

So would this be represented by a five point throttle curve of 0%, 50%, 100%, 100% and 100%?

[Ade_Law]

on nitro it would be more along the lines of,

0, 35, 50, 65, 100

on electric it would be more like this

0, 60 90, 90, 90

So how does that give you constant head speed while the stick is above middle?

[Ade_Law]

as the blade pitch increases the load on the engine does too so you need more throttle to maintain the same headspeed

the same as maintaining the same speed on the motorway as you go up and down hills.
