Align T-Rex 450SEV2 Model

[mikhael47]

I can't seem to get this model to work, I am using my own controller, works great with all the other models i've tried, but I get no pitch out of this one... any tricks?

I am using Realflight G3.5 on a Windows Vista Ultimate machine. Today I decided to download the Collective Designs T-Rex 450SE V2. I wanted to download both the EA performance version and the stock variant AV. As per the instructions I downloaded the EA version and installed first, it works great.

I then went back to Knife-Edge and downloaded the Stock_AV variant, this is where to trouble came in. When I try to load it into Real-Flight I get the following "Import File Conflict" dialog message. You already have a (n) electric motor named align 430XL 3700KV. It gives me three options, *do not import this file / *select a new name / *overwrite the old file.

I have attached a thumbnail of the message, can someone give me some direction to resolve this.

:arggg: I did the dowload and install today. When ever I select the SE V2, it loads fine when I increase the throttle the model crashes, simialar to what a few others have described in earlier posts. How can I fix this? Also how can I select a different model for hover training?

How long before the 450 SE v2 battery dies. I've never run out of battery in the sim.

Make sure you have "Unlimited Fuel" in the Settings menu set to OFF.

The T-Rex 450SE V2 battery lasts about 5-7 minutes, depending on how you're flying.

I have a Realflight G3.5. I am looking at a 450SEV2. Is there any way to install this heli on my sim? If so how difficult is this?

Download and save the file to a location you can find later.

Use Realflight's "Import" function from the simulation menu.

After succesful import it will be available under aircraft selection.

Goofing around.

I have lost the Trex 450 SE V2 from the sim. When I try to reinstall it from my documents it tells me it's already in but when I try to put it in it tells me I don't have that heli. It seems I lost it from my list. It's been working for several months with no problem. If you can explain why I would be very thankful.

when I installed the link provided by phrank the heli bounces around and wont take off how do i fix this?

[phrank]

This is a side-effect of using G4.5. (I'm assuming you have upgraded to G4.5 and are now experiencing this?)

Thank you phrank

[socalmedic]

still having a problem it stoped bouncing on the ground but now the tail of the heli swings back and fourth? how do i fix that?

[phrank]

Complete fix coming soon, the guys are doing some final tweaks on the G4.5 version. :)

If you can't wait, Post#7 on that same link I gave above has someone else's tweak that solved the problem for them.

Credit to trexflyer02, based on what he said to do for the TRex500, I found indeed the value of Skid stiffness of 2% stopped the bouncing.

The tail wag issue goes away by reducing the gyro gain setting to 40. Until the official tweaked version for 4.5 is released the model flies well with these settings in the interim. Hope this helps.

[phrank]

Thanks Heli1R, that's a great suggestion.

Release of the 4.5 version of the Trex is almost here with some minor visual tweaks to take advantage of G4.5's new rendering. Stay Tuned.
