Hello miguel.

Are you using the development version or the fgaddon one?. In the dev version I'm right now on the process of making a new FDM and it still needs adjustment. I don't know how easy to fly a real R44 is, because i have never flown one, what i am doing is putting real numbers to the FDM and then adjusting other parameters to match it to the real specifications. I have recived some feedback from some users and they think it flyes much more realistic now.

In the other hand I always fly with my HOTAS, flying a heli with the mouse is almost impossible hehe.

Regards!


En español:
Hola miguel.

¿Estás usando la versión de desarrollo o la que está en fgaddon? En la versión de desarrollo estoy ahora mismo haciendo un nuevo FDM y todavia necesita varios ajustes. No se muy bien como de fácil es de volar un R44 real porque nunca he volado uno, lo único que hago es poner valores reales en el FDM e intentar que se ajusten a las especificaciones reales. Algunos usuarios me han dado su feedback y piensan que ahora vuela mucho más realista.

Por cierto, yo siempre vuelo con mi HOTAS, encuentro tremendamente difícil volar usando un ratón jeje

Un saludo!!

Should not we change the MP name from clipper or raven to "R44 Clipper" or "R44 Raven II" ? Or maybe "Robinson 44 Raven II"

The "Normals" are probably correctly facing outwards on the model. As you are looking at the inner part of the tube, the normals only face outwards so you are basically looking through them from inside.

I have a silly question to ask,is the fdm of this r44 realistic enough?Compared to other helis we have like ec-135,R44 seems too easy to fly especially during take off and landing which is supposed to be difficult for unskilled people like me,but this one is unexpectedly stable.I also took a ride on a real r44 and feel that while the fdm has a high accuracy when it comes to flying,the take off an landing is a little bit of too stable,I mean, Only real pilots can handle it like that,I’m supposed to be crash from time to time.Like on ec-135 I fly.
