Reaction Control System.....

[SidDogg]

.....I saw it once in a VTOL FM, in the engine section.

 

...what exactly does it do?

[Silverbolt]

maybe the time of Engine conversion?

[Fubar512]

It consists of a series of small jets or nozzles that control pitch, roll, and yaw at low speeds. That is, at speeds below which the normal control surfaces become effective.

hmmm...... just wondering.....

 

...if made to overpower the engine...

 

...might this be used to simulate the rotor head on a helicopter?

That's exactly what we've been doing to simulate helo flight for the last few years...

[SidDogg]

...arr you sure?

 

...cuz i coulda sworn that was done by making "SUPERFLAPS" lol

[Fubar512]

Not on any of the "right" models....

...REELY?

 

...well, if don't mind giving an "example".....?

From Kreelin's Mi-8 HIP FM, for example:

 

[38]

SystemType=REACTION_CONTROL_SYSTEM

InputName=PITCH_CONTROL

ReverseInput=FALSE

MaxThrust=31083.749

ThrustAngles=0.0,90.0,0.0

ThrustPosition=0.0,-4.969,0.0

ThrottleRate=5.0

MinThrustVectorInput=0.20

 

[39]

SystemType=REACTION_CONTROL_SYSTEM

InputName=ROLL_CONTROL

ReverseInput=TRUE

MaxThrust=8611.808

ThrustAngles=0.0,90.0,0.0

ThrustPosition=4.969,0.0,0.0

ThrottleRate=5.0

MinThrustVectorInput=0.20

[SidDogg]

hmmm.....

 

..OK!

 

off to edit some FMs

 

THANK YYOOOH!!!!!!!!!!

...where might i be able to find that????

ctrl+F?

 

i'm trying to put this infos in Black hawk, but it's been a pain in ass :(

no, i mean Kreelin's Mi-8.
