Title: How 4D plane be used in simulator?
Post by: KALYANPRODHAN on June 04, 2011, 03:11:05 PM
How can I try 4D flight in Simulator like aerofly pro?

Moreover, the variable pitch prop (Power system assembly) not available readily. Can that be available in India ?

i guess you could use the tail rotor assembly for that...!! and a foldable propeller..!!

Actually at first i want to try in a simulator.

There is another servo that makes the pitch different.  The pushrod goes through the main rotor shaft. Just go through youtube video, you can see.

But can we simulate that in any model in FMS or aerofly ?

A quick search leads to topics like this :

http://www.rodeo.rc-sim.de/afprodeluxe/afprodeluxe.htm (search for the word "variable" on this page).

So it looks like pretty much any electric plane can be converted to VPP in AFPD.

Thanks Anwar Sir,

I am trying. The button 1 can be used in autorotation channel and throttle channel to pitch. But Pitch 0 can be set at middle or 30/70 of throttle  channel!

Where the 0 pitch point would be a matter of personal preference, I guess.  It only changes how your throttle stick responds, and should not be a factor in "getting this to work" (unless I completely misunderstood the issue at hand).
