Physics setting

[jugi16]

What physics setting do you guys put it on for the most realistic feel? I have been on 150% but it feels way to twitchy and unrealistic.

Definitely leave the physics set at 100 percent. You can tweak the helicopters to feel more like your own by editing them.

I always turn the head speed up to 2000 in idle 1 and 2200rpm in idle 2. I also up the collective pitch to -14 an +14.

I find this gives me the most realistic flying experience.

I'm just getting on RF6.5 a few days. After editing the model helis some I backed the physics down to 95% to get what feels close. The helis seem too fast.

I have real flight 3.5. I downloaded some heli's from this support forum pretty much the T-Rex 450's and the logo 500 v-bar. Yeah htey seem way twitchy and faster than my real one almost like I gotta practice on the real one then try it on the sim. The heli I did find on the sim to fly like the real one is the walkera 4#3b. But I guess being harder on the simm is prob ok then it seems easy in real life.


BTW is this what most of you find on the simm? My real heli is a dfc so maybe that makes it easier to fly than the rex's on the simm?

According to the SmackTalkRC episode 22 on Flight Simulators, they recommend bumping the physics to about 105% to get more realistic real world physics.

First, I'd recommended upgrading to 6.5. But having spent a good bit of timing editing some of the model helicopters, the standard setup seems to -100 to 100 pitch on all the flight models, including the scale models, with not much expo. Then most of the variants that are designed are for hardcore 3D flying. Not much is set up for the average flyer. Like you have to learn how to set up a real model for the type of flying you want to do, you seem to have to do the same thing for the RF models. Most models are fast and twitchy.
