| Summary | 0006527: UH-60 doesn't hover correctly, along with many other RHS helicopters |
| Description | The Uh-60 hovers with the main body being parallel to the ground, rather than the main rotor (which is tilted 3 degrees forward, like IRL). The helicopter should be hovering in a tail-low position, with the main rotor being perpendicular to the downward force of gravity (pretty much the rotor mast being parallel to the downward force of gravity).
This would then lead to the helicopter being able to fly at cruise speed with the nose level, like a plane, which it does IRL.
It's not unplayable, but it would be a nice tweak.
I'm making this about the Uh-60, but I would like to point out that most of the helicopters in RHS are also dealing with the same odd situation, where the angle of the main rotor wasn't accounted for in the aircraft, only the position of the main rotor hub.
The CH-47, mi-8, mi-24 are also 3 aircraft that comes off top of my head where they all hover off of whatever their aircraft model angle is when it is spawned, rather than accounting for the main rotor's angle.
There is a reason why the camera of the ch-47 pilot is looking at a downward angle, so that it should be looking straight towards the horizon when the aircraft is hovering in the more realistic tail-low position. |
| Steps To Reproduce | It's how the flight model was set up, so this is how it flies in its current state. |
| Additional Information | I believe that it can be fixed by you devs, as you guys are the one's who have access to be able to edit the aircraft's config!
Possible solution:
My suspects, there is an unintentional error within AFM configuration of the main helo's rotor, specifically this line under the <Rotors> tab:
<Tilt lateralTilt="0.0" longitudinalTilt="-3" />
It feels like the tilt was omitted or even positive (which is wrong) rather than negative.

This could be a possible fix for the UH-60 and the other aircraft in RHS with forward main-rotor tilt. |
