There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

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...
