Different KA50 behavior in missions

Recommended Posts

In some missions I have the KA 50 in control. I can easaly come to a Hover.

In other mission ( mostly campaign missions ) it is impossible to come in a hover position.

 

The KA 50 is in same configuration and I have no idea why.....

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

Probably different weather / wind in the mission.

Practice in more windy conditions! The hover hold autopilot function is meant to assist you in remaining in hover, it's not to snap into a hover from forward flight. Just stabilise in a hover under manual control before you hit the switch and you're halfway there. Only thing left to worry about is the weather-vane effect.

In the wind get yourself as close to a hover as you can and then auto-hover.

 

But... manual hover is much better anyway :).

That happen. Look your options/special in Ka-50 try a different setting there. Try reset your joystick settings and give to center joystick some play as 4, could be better center play

 

never go less than 5m/s in vertical speed when hovering.

 

If you keep feeling different in every single mission, then check the case for use your settings for all missions.

.

 

You mean 'never go more than 5m/s in vertical speed' right? I guess you're warning about VRS when descending too fast, because climbing with more than 5m/s is not a problem in a hover.

Looking forward to it, Belsimtek!:thumbup:

Yeah, it's not easy to auto hover. You have to get the copter in the best hover you can, and then hit "auto hover". It was never meant to put you into a hover from normal flight. But once you get into a good hover, and hit "auto hover" on, it does quite well at keeping you in the hover.

Key here is to trim just before Auto Hover;)

Correct, increase vertical speed when decrease altitude in a hover. If he hover and don’t pay attention that is better go slightly slow in vertical up speed than slightly slow in vertical down speed with the risk of lose lifting and control. that’s why when you are in hover you break right or left looking for ground speed instead of a sudden vertical speed change.

As said above, you need to manually hover the Ka-50, or almost hover with no more than 2-3m/s speed in any direction before you engage Auto-Hover.

 

I addition to this procedure, I keep clicking the Auto-Hover Mode button several times in rapid mode so it resets a: the hover point in space and b: tends to transition smoother and more accurate on settling.

If you do not click auto-hover again while coming along with 5 m/s forward speed, it will try to hover...but before it will fly BACKWARDS to the point in space where it was when you hit the button. Add some stupid wind and the 20% AP control authority overall, that may never end in a stable hover.

 

Fly in --> slow down --> hover MANUALLY with less than 2-3 m/s movement --> engage AP-AH - re-engage several times until it stabilizes.

 

that's how I do it :joystick:

yes weather makes a big difference, wind especially.

It is best to roughly trim the airframe to hover in the current wind direction and then enable the auto hover. If the auto hover starts to drift with wind direction then off set your cyclic a tiny amount into the wind to hold the hover better and re-trim.
