How do you tame down helis on G3.5?

[Ed1955]

Can someone tell me an easy way of taming down the Trex 450's and 600's on the Realflight G3.5? I looked at all the settings and it's real deep, quite difficult to understand. I find it much easier to fly the real models than it is to fly these models on the simulator. Can someone help me out please?

an easy way for me is to change the physics from 100% to a lower percentage.


edit: all of movements on the sim will slow down also. i find it easier for me to do this that way i can concentrate on the way i need to move the sticks and have time to correct and get it right. i then speed it up as i get better. once i get real good at a certain move i then will crank it up to 150% then it gets real fast.

Where do you change the physics on the G3.5 sim? That's probably all I need.

Ed, if it's harder on the sim then in real life, thats a plus. I purposly set mine harder on the sim , so when I am out in the feild, it's a peice of cake. JM2C

Two easy ways to "tame down" helicopter models in RealFlight is to either lower the cyclic deflection or add paddle weight. Both of these are done in the Aircraft Editor.

1. Select the aircraft you'd like to modify
2. Go to Aircraft -> Edit Aircraft
3. Make sure Advanced Properties are on (in the Aircraft Editor menus up top)
4. Click on the menus and submenus on the left until you get to Main Rotor (it would be something like "Dominion 3D 90 -> Heli Mechanics -> Main Rotor")
5. From here you can see the Cyclic Pitch and Cyclic Roll deflection, most likely set at 6.0 degrees by default. Going down to 4 or 5 degrees would tame it down quite a bit.
6. You can also adjust the amount of Collective Pitch (above the cyclic pitch numbers). Here, enter the positive and negative values. Usually, the 3D helicopters are set up at +10/-10. A number around 7 or 8 would tame down the collective drastically.
7. Under the Main Rotor menu, you will find a submenu named Paddles. Click on Paddles, and scroll down until you see Paddle Weight. Depending on the model, this value could be anywhere between 4 and 60 (grams). Play around with this value -- it effectively slows down all of the helicopter's reactions.

Hope this helped!
