@ButterSausages Built using extruded aluminum but the floor is 3/4 HDPE. Extremely strong. Thanks for watching!

@brgimscht Total cost is just under 20k for the whole sim. Electronics are from ESC but I changed out all the switches to real aircraft grade. I did a video on it. Another 700 in switches on the overhead.

​@@Rotor-Sims may i contact your via email because i have some questions about it!

@j6077xxd Hi and thanks for watching!. Helonix are ESC. The screen is a singles 29" Samsung

@ oh I see! Incredible. One large screen behind the ESC panel. Super smart.

@j6077xxd Just like the GTN 750. It's one touch panel back there with 2 bezels on top

@@yams900 Thanks for watching!

@@TW-jb1gz I'm glad it helped! I try not to fumble around but give the procedures multiple attempts to hopefully ensure I have the proper steps outlined. Thanks for watching!

@OdysseyKoro Hi and thanks for watching. This is a known issue with pausing and unpausing the sim. Think you have press F1

Thanks for watching!

@blurbm Hi and thanks for watching. There is a separate 2024 version on GitHub. Some are having trouble, personally I'm not. I'm using the H145 and everything is working including my touchscreen and all pop outs. The official 2024 release can be found here. github.com/hawkeye-stan/msfs-2024-popout-panel-manager

@danielwiese7610 You have to install the PMS50 gps. That goes in the community folder then On the iPad and the helicopter, make sure that you go to set up and select PMS for your gtn

@@Rotor-Sims That worked. Thanks!

@danielwiese7610 Awesome. Enjoy!

@MaximilianZißler Hi, thanks for watching! There are alot vids on my channel you can see. It was a long process. Take a look at the other vids and ask questions, I'm happy to answer

Hi and Happy New Year! So glad this helped. At 15:20 all the setting are default. The only thing you need to do is set the trim release button and expand the Axis Control section and raise the Hands Off from 2% to 5% and for the Hands On make sure that 10% to 15% depending on move of a movement you want before the heli realizes your are trying to take control and override it. Enjoy and thanks for watching!

@@Rotor-Sims Happy New Year :) The other mistake I made was having the cyclic pitch and roll mapped in game. No need. Thanks again.

@OZ1967 A lot of us have done that. When using any of the VP Force Motors we have to make sure we don't have any axis bound in flight simulator. This is really important for helis with an AFCS. Thanks again!

@@dissymmetryoflift3161 Hi, so the cyclic grip is a metal unit made by Max Flight Stick. It is a replica of the H145. It does not get wired into the Rhino. Max has his own control box. My wire for the cyclic exits the tube right before the base and goes to the control box. Thanks for watching!

@@miguiaus9993 Hi, thanks for watching. Someone is in the process of purchasing it.

@miket3445 Glad it can help, thanks for watching!

@hornetj3777 They won't be able to do what VP Force can and espeically for the H145. VP Force worked directly with HPG. Alot of the Discord members didn't take to kindly to the fact code of VP Force was in the Moza programming.

@cybertuffguy71 Hi, sure. Shoot me a friend request in discord. H145Rotor-Sims or Joedreamliner787 Thanks for watching!

@kennethdahl9715 I'm not sure what you are asking, can you clarify?

@TheBishopOfBarton As always thanks for watching! Working on anti torques now!

@@BeekBass I use a Max Flight Stick H145. I built a motorized collective currently in prototype and then him and I are releasing.

@@Rotor-Sims Very cool. I'm currently running a DIY FFB base interfaced by an OpenFFB board, but it only receives FFB data from the sim with no telemetry software support. I've had my eye on VPforce for a while due to their feature filled software. I appreciate the in depth walk through of the software.

@@sobpolta3328 Thanks for watching!

@FlameBot I have one, it's the Rodeo but mostly use it when showing on a pc away from a camera if I'm not recording with my phone but instead a screen video capture. I try to speakly loudly and clearly. I ordered a bluetooth one so hopefully it works well with the phone. Thanks for watching!

@adsilite Thank you! Moza can never get it to the level VP Force and TelemFFB can because HPG won't work with Moza. TelemFFB is reading values that are very unique to this heli. Your virpil collective remains by itself as you have it now. You will still need to run TelemFFB if you have a VP Force cyclic or any peripherals you decide to implement that are motorized with VP Force Motors/Kits. As for the blade count, thanks for catching that! What software does with that is simply just the rumble effects/frequency. Setting it 5 will make it feel smoother and less vibration in the stick but that can also be adjusted in the rumble setting. Thanks for watching!

@@MrEndemo Hope someone grabs it before it gone! Thanks for watching!

@antebellum45 Thanks for watching! The most critical component is getting your balance spring setup properly. I just put out a vid on how to do exactly that. Enjoy that Rhino, it's the best!

Hi, I use this Meanwell LRS amzn.to/4gwk6x0 For heli there ins't much load. I have two of these. 1 is being used for the cyclic because there are two 86 series motors and the other is driving the collective and once I am done with the torque pedals it will drive that as well with the collective. The LRS 24v is a 14.6amp PSU, 350 watts. 100-120v it will pull 6.8amps from your wall or if you are running 220v it will be 3.4 amps. Thanks for watching!

Hi, thanks for watching! I wouldn’t say the AFCS completely locks the movement but holds the movement. When it detects "hands-on" control, it knows you are overriding it and allows you too. Under normal AFCS operations, the trims and movements will adjust automatically to follow the AFCS inputs. The system physically and virtually positions itself in the sim based on how you’ve configured it. So if you are doing for example a Vy climb out and you have your airspeed, alt and heading dialed in the AFCS will follow what you set it for. When flying manually or even with the AFCS, you have the force trim functionality. By holding the trim release button on the cyclic, you can set the helicopter to a specific attitude. Releasing the button establishes a new center point, allowing the helicopter to hold that position without you constantly applying pressure on the stick to pitch or roll. I’m currently testing the trim functionality and will definitely be making a video on it soon. Stay tuned!

Thank you! Working on it today!

@buikhan It is in the Microsoft Store. Search DR Sim Manager. I just checked the link and it's working on my end.

@ it said share not buy.

@buikhan Hmm, let me check with Speggle

@@Rotor-SimsI am on iPad. How do I buy now? Everything I try it turned into share button not buy.

@buikhan I just spoke to him. He said it has to be done from a desktop and not via a phone. If you want to ask questions and be part of our awesome community come join us: discord.gg/g27WXMCq

@johnwjensen Thanks for watching! So with TelemFFB I strictly fly the HPG 145 and I use the TelemFFB for the force trim and autopilot follow. When I load up TelemFFB it recognizes I'm flying an HPG aircraft but you can override the TelemFFB settings.

Hi, you need to follow the instructions exactly. Most likely it was not copied to the community folder properly.

@@JoseCarlos-ol3ul I chatter with Adam the dev. He mentioned you to join the discord and he will add it for you to test out. discord.gg/g27WXMCq

In FS2024, the helicopter dynamics have become a bit more realistic, requiring proper torque management to keep your heli balanced. Start by enabling Tail Rotor Assist to see if it resolves the problem. If it does, that indicates you need to use the anti-torque pedals to counter the torque properly. If the issue persists, try turning on Cyclic Assist. This can help identify whether it’s a trim-related problem. Also, make sure to disable AI Auto-Trim, as it can sometimes cause more problems than it solves. A good practice is to set up a trim reset button and verify that all your trims are at zero before troubleshooting further.

@@Rotor-Sims My bad - I somehow had cyclic trim on the same joystick axis as cyclic controls. So I was basically flying with a fully runaway trim all the time. No wonder it was crap LoL. Now, I've also noticed that this Guimbal Cabri G2 little 2-seater helicopter can takeoff and hover at max weight at sea level (Santa Monica), but at about 6'500 ft (Big Bear, airport) - it cannot sustain hover even with 1x 170 lbs pilot and 90% fuel - starts to lose RPM when hovering, and sinks to the ground once main rotor RPM goes below ~480. Is this realistic? I remember there are R-44s tours around Big Bear lake. Also piston helis, and touring so they take a pilot and at least 2 adult Americans on a tour :-D Maybe they fly low fuel though - their longest offered tour is 45 min.

@@Rotor-Sims Tried the R-66 - flies great even at 10'000ft! At max weight full fuel, 4 pax and 80lbs cargo - can hover as much as I need before landing. In the Cabri - need to maintain forward speed and overspeed rotor before landing and before takeoff, as it cannot sustain hover even at 6'500ft. Which is odd - wiki says the Cabri's service ceiling is 13'000 ft...

@suzukirider9030 The G2 is very twitchy heli. On mine I lower the sensitivity otherwise it's like flying an RC heli lol

@@Rotor-Sims But what about it's power and altitude capability? Are they really not flyable at 6'500 MSL?

@pilotrt Hi, thank you for the kind comments! I think you'll find the other videos interesting. I setup playlists so people can view the category most interest in.I motorized the collective (see on the latest vid) I designed and will be for sale. Currently working on cyclic and anti torque. FFB is truly needed to experience heli in a sim. For the axis, a quad post is a 3 axis sim. Pitch, roll and heave which for me is plenty. Once the right VR headset comes along that allows me to use panel pop outs and mixed reality a 3 axis barely needs to move to be "tricked" into feeling you are in an aircraft. As for cost for materials right around 17K minus the watercooled PC I built which was 3K. I'm using an 13900K CPU and a 4090 GPU to run the entire sim without issues. I built a Baron G58 cockpit (on the channel) many years so I decided I wanted to do a helicopter and I just love the H145 with a 4 axis AFCS.

There is an issue with the transition from Air to Ground effect. I haven't tried the new patch yet so I am not sure if it's been resolved.

Hi, and thanks for watching! The H145's 4-axis AFCS makes a fully motorized setup the ultimate goal. There are creative solutions out there, like mounting a force-feedback (FFB) cyclic base to your chair. In my case, I mounted mine close to the ground with a quick-release system for flexibility in the past before I had a full sim For lighter setups, I’ve been experimenting with a VKB Gladiator base on my laptop. Despite its plastic gimbal, I removed the springs, adjusted the damping, and found it performs surprisingly well. Of course, VKB’s Gunfighter base and Virpil’s T50CM-3 (which I’ve owned) are also excellent choices for non-FFB configurations. Max Flight Stick already offers a base with an integrated damping system, so pursuing a similar custom solution feels like reinventing the wheel. The companies I’ve mentioned produce great products for those not venturing into the FFB market. Thanks again for tuning in, and let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Thank you! Max Flight Stick and I are in the process of producing these. I will be testing in a few weeks and make any needed changes but I don't think there will be many to be made. I spent countless hours in the design and analyzing the details, running simulations etc. Thanks for watching!

@ its just an amazing work. Hats off to you.

@@adsilite Thank you!

Hi, yes Max Flight Stick and I will be producing and selling these units. Currently the machine operators are already working on parts and I will assemble, program, test and make changes if necessary. Thanks for watching!

Maybe consider a kit……a cheaper option for those who might already have the VPF motor and are willing to do the build….?

@miket3445 I can definitely do that. I designed this to use the 86BLF04 motor.

Hi. Where did you get the CAD models for the motor and gearbox? Building a cyclic version for the Apache. Cheers

@bladeheli Thanks for watching! Go on the VP Force Discord and search the knowledge base. I built the models and verified them phsycially with a caliper.

@@JP_du_59 So happy to hear it helps! It took me hours to figure out how it was working because there isn't any documentation. Thanks for watching!

@@ArcanePath360 Is this happening even with the latest update?

@@Rotor-Sims Yes. I went back to using the gamepad. FAR easier to control and I ended up getting A ratings straight away. This stick is useless.

@ArcanePath360 I can't use a game pad to control a heli. The best stick I found that is most cost effective with a damping system is the VKB Gladiator but it only works on PC

@@Rotor-Sims Interesting. I actually packed this stick away because it was horrible to use, as soon as I did I was getting A in every tutorial with the gamepad. Controlling the camera is also far easier. I can't use one hand to steer and turn the camera at the same time. It messes me up. Just controlling the cyclic alone is hard enough with an over sensitive stick

@ArcanePath360 I know with vkb you can get a throttle quadrant and it has a hat switch on it so keep your left hand on view hat which you right hand on the joystick for cyclic. VR is also an option

@@Haneye1 So happy it could be of help! Thanks for watching!

@TheBishopOfBarton Sure am! My kit should be arriving next week. I am currently working on the anti torque pedals too.

@@Rotor-Sims Can't wait to see how that turns out! That's the key to a great sim - proper trim motors for the controls.

@TheBishopOfBarton Couldn't agree more!

@trffinal1541 I'm glad it helped and thank you for watching! I ended up returning it and got the VKB Gladiator. Much better suited for heli. So for the H125 it doesn't have a true throttle axis in the sim. It functions currently as basically on and off. You can bind those to buttons under the specific category. Lessen the roll and pitch sensitivity. Just a bit and it should be very flyable

@@Rotor-Sims Thank you so much Sir i will try i hope i can find out of that

@martin-hall-northern-soul Hi and thanks for watching! It really isn't a bad bit of kit. We have come so far in flight sim and I'm very thankful we are where we are.

​@@Rotor-Sims Kinda wish I'd gone for it now but didn't see them until a while after they were made available. Heyho, still enjoying the new sim. Good days to be a flight simmer I reckon too,.

@martin-hall-northern-soul People are selling them on eBay for 500+
