First, please realise that any simulation model is a simplification of reality.So how does one transition to a (perfect) hover without triggering the VRS danger?
Yes, I agree ….Very clear Rob, thanks. And outstanding job you've done on the modeling/coding. This is such a fun aircraft.
The exact, now programmed, criteria to activate VRS are:
- Nacelles rotation > 82 degrees.
AND
- Airspeed < 25 KNots
AND
- Verticalspeed < -1200 Feet/min
Rob
Well, technically (maths), -1300 is inferior to -1200.
But your remark makes sense, because we're talking about speed in a given direction...
Rob or Maryadi
is it possible to get a rear gun modelled as seen in the attached video?

Hi Rob,
Not meaning to be picky, but I think there's a typo in your reply...
Shouldn't "- Verticalspeed < -1200 Feet/min" be "- Verticalspeed > -1200 Feet/min" ? (In other words: MORE than -1200 Feet/min and not LESS than -1200 Feet/min.)
Oh boy, I opened a can of worms apperantly ...LoLWell it is that interpretation I find confusing.
As we are not talking about a simple static dimension eg altitude: 1,200 ft is a "greater" altitude than 1,000 ft but rather a RATE, it comes across as somewhat contradictory to say a VS GREATER than - 1,200 fpm is eg -1,000 fpm when we also say a VS of -1,500 fpm is a FASTER VS than -1,200 fpm.
If ATC asks me to increase my rate of descent currently at -1,200 fpm I comply by flying at a greater, in other words, faster VS of eg -1,500 fpm.

No Rob!
It may have been your can of worms - but I opened it!!
Still, with a little bit of luck (Quote from 'My Fair Lady') we'll all have learned from the subsequent discussion...
