New flight model: Antitorque too powerful at high speeds
New, WishlistPublic

Description

Flying the helicopters with the new flight model enabled (auto trim off, and all other options also off), I noticed that at medium to high speeds, the antitorque is too powerful as the slipstream effect does not seem to be taken into consideration. When flying up to about 160kmh full 360° turns are possible in flight by just applying full left or right rudder.

I would expect this to be prohibited by the slipstream effect at these high speeds.

Fly the littlebird, accelerate to 160kmh/80kts and apply full left or right rudder. The helicopter will start to spin.

This seems to be fixed with the current Version 1.35.127...

Full 360° turns are now only possible at or below 50km/h. At Speeds higher than this, there is not enough antitorque available anymore to turn the helicopter.

Good enough for me :)

Thanks
