Helicopter Physics are broken - Inverted
Hello dice I hope you're doing well today.
Folks, I'm an FAA Licensed FPV Drone pilot.
The transport helicopter and also the attack helicopter have broken physics.
The helicopters do not move in anything resembling a real honest to God he helicopter.
Especially when inverted meaning the craft is upside down or past the 90° axis of rotation point.
Since that is why I'm writing you today I will focus on the inverted physics.
When you invert the bird, the craft will actually lose altitude faster when the throttle is minimal then if you increase the throttle to maximum. If the aircraft is upside down, and the propellers are facing down towards the Earth, reducing the throttle which is actually reducing the pitch of the blades should actually cause the helicopter to gain altitude since you are converting the pitch of the blades as well.
In order for you to understand how this works please do research on "swash plate".
The swash plate is responsible for changing the pitch of the propellers. Assuming this is combat throttle, we can pretty much assume that the throttle is at 100% the entire time..
There are two components to a swash plate there is the motor RPM, which is controlled by the throttle which we are going to assume is 100% at all times. And then there is the Blade pitch which is controlled by the "collector". In battlefield since the RPM is assumed to be combat ready we are going to assume again that it's 100%. Thus the only thing that we are controlling using what battlefield refers to as the throttle and is incorrect, is in fact the collector that we are controlling.
That being said, flying upside down with the collector in a negative position meaning at the lowest point, we should be able to maintain altitude, even though the helicopter is inverted.
Administering these fixes to the helicopter would make helicopter pilots all around the world jump for joy. If you could do this for me specifically I would be unbelievably thankful because you'll be adding a layer of enjoyment that I don't believe many other platforms have at this moment. Could you imagine a helicopter moving and it's such wild and ridiculous ways that real honest to God helicopters do.
I encourage you to please understand the collector, swash plate, motor, RPM and throttle. And to understand that helicopters can actually gain altitude while flying upside down.
I think this is going to be something you'll enjoy. I know I will.
