heli DLC - autorotation does not work

[LeeManatee 4]

autorotation does not work in relise build

rpm does not go up on collective down and nose up like it did properly on dev build.

the only helicopter you can get autorotation with right now is chinook.

HOTFIX ASAP PLEASE.

what the bloody boint in helicopter dlc if autorotation does not even work?!

game settings, flight model advanced, show gauges enabled, wind effects enabled, auto-trim disabled, stress damage disabled

collective settings - collective axis analugue

flight setup - Logiteck G940

nevermind, got it right, but lift loss is too drastic, no matter what the speed

I'm able to autorotate if above certain flight parameters (namely speed has to be high, but even then you arent guaranteed...). Try it with the AH-9. Its quite oddly very willing to autorotate from normal flight speed. Even then, there are times your controls just dont respond and you pretty much become a flying rock.

From lower speed situations, its entirely impossible and you plummet like a rock. Exactly as you describe :(

It makes being a Blackfoot pilot pretty damn nasty, since any hit is almost assured death since you'll plummet and roll-over on landing. Please fix, BIS!

i tried all the helicopters, and i tried all of them during dev build aswell.

right now it's impossible to gain rpm no matter what the high and what the angle and what the speed is. for all but chinook helicopter

you should be able to autorotate in tutorial mission, given speed and altitude you can get, but you can not. i have no problems with autorotation in DCS UH-1 and ToH, here it's just bugged. absolutely

nevermind, i got it right, though the lift loss is too drastic

Glad ya got it working! And yeah, its totally too drastic atm. And results in a nearly guaranteed roll-over and crash.

To be honest, the shape, and power I the RAH-66 (AH-99) I it's own enemy in an emergency situation. And with helicopters In general, look at every singe crash video in existence and you will see that every last one of them spin and/or roll before then smashing and spinning. That's the nature of Helicopters. The only solution is mastering the landings, which myself havn't come close either. =D
