![]() I can do it before flight, but changing to another freq is … annoying.The Pro Flight Trainer PUMA X is a single pilot, USB Helicopter Control Device that provides advanced immersion in a realistic helicopter cockpit and reproduce very realistic controls inputs compared to real operations. That kinda sucks in VR as I have to take my hands off of things to peak under the headset to see what I am dialing in. Unless I am missing something, of course. There also seems to be no display for the NAV1 radio freq in the helicopter? I have one of the Saitek panels and it dutifully reports the frequency, and I can adjust it like I would expect but I can’t see it in the cockpit. It’s just a feeling, and likely related to getting adjusted to the different flight model than XP11/12. It’s like I need to be firm and say ‘down now’ and then take a little back to not over do it. It doesn’t seem to matter if I try to be smooth - whatever I add seems to be either too much or to little to start the change that I need. Same goes if I am starting to float to high, drop the collective but then add a little back. So I may lift the collective to stop a slow descent, but I need to drop it a little. ![]() I never seem to react with enough (or too much) collective in my adjustments - so I opted for the DCS pattern I have for the F-18C - whatever you add, take back half. I am not sure if it is me or the flight model, but I have a ballooning/dipping problem. Plasma: Can be assigned to Plasma Off/On Magentos: Can be assigned to Magneto 1 Off/Both Not at my PC at the moment but this should guide anyone to the correct area for these assignments: I feel like it was easier than I remember XP11/12 being - but I will get back to that probably next week. That saved me from getting annoyed while trying to guessįlew around Abbotsford BC and the Cabri was very smooth. Thanks for posting the trim direction assignments. RUDDER TRIM LEFT (IF NOT ALREADY SET FOR FIXED WING) MOVES SLOWLY. RUDDER TRIM RIGHT (IF NOT ALREADY SET FOR FIXED WING) MOVES SLOWLY. INCREASE AND DECREASE ROTOR LATERAL TRIM (POV RIGHT FOR INCREASE, POV LEFT FOR DECREASE) INCREASE AND DECREASE ROTOR LONGITUDINAL TRIM (POV AFT FOR INCREASE, POV FWD FOR DECREASE) SETTING UP CONTROLLERS FOR HELICOPTERS IN MSFS You will find them under ASSISTANCE OPTIONS > PILOTING > HELICOPTER ASSISTED TAIL ROTOR and HELICOPTER ASSISTED CYCLIC. NOTE: The MSFS helicopters have assists enabled by default, which for the most accurate simulation experience I recommend disabling. With regard to the 407, think Nemeth Designs 407 instead of Dreamfoil 407. As such, certain systems may not function as they do in the actual aircraft. I haven’t found a manual yet, so unsure how accurately systems are modeled. Some assignments specific to helicopters are linked to fixed wing controls, even if you deleted the assignment. NOTE: Helicopter controls seem to be very much a work in progress. The Cabri appears to be more accurately modeled than the 407. It appears that some of them do not work with the Bell 407. NOTE: These were tested using the Cabri G2. That way views and other non aircraft specific assignments will be saved. ![]() I recommend beginning from a good fixed wing profile for each controller and using the profile manager to copy it, instead of starting from scratch. I also tested the trim system, which behaves more like traditional trim than Force Trim. To save a few virtual pilots time setting up controls for helicopters in MSFS, I just spent the last hour testing and documenting what they are called in rotor vs fixed wing aircraft. ![]()
