To serve the commercial / professional market.Ĭyclic designed to be used with different helicopters.Ĭyclic to be used in Robinson helicopter simulation. Using a real cyclic will greatly enhance your ability to get a feel for helicopter flying. Windows XP, XP64 and Windows Vista (all versions) Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, XP 64bit, Vista Windows® 98, Windows® 2000, Windows® Me, Windows® XP, Windows® Vista™ Quality industrial components and construction.Large sturdy base with 7 foot USB cable.Dual rotary trim wheels for precise adjustment of ailerons.Total of 80 programmable functions with Control Manager.– X, Y, and Z axes for Aileron, Elevator, and Throttle control Supports yaw control by twisting the stick, however, you should use pedals for this (otherwise, helicopter flying will be more difficult). One of the throttles can be configured as your 'collective'. It is possible to use the throttle wheel as a 'collective'.Īlso a much used joystick, designed with flying in mind. It has no twist capability as this input should be provided by pedals (this is a plus from theįidelity point of view). Disadvantageous is the somewhat high spring pressure. Using pedals for this input dimension is much better (and less difficult). It also supports twist movement, however, The throttle slider can be used as your 'collective'. Much used joystick and good value for money. A remedy is to disable the springs (by modifying the joystick). Which will make controlling the 'cyclic' hard work after a time. When flying, the 'neutral' position depends on the flight manoeuvre.įor this reason, the zero position can be trimmed and set with a real cyclic. Another important aspect is the home position Mechanical difference between the two is that a cyclic is much When using a real cyclic, you will make other input movements, using different muscles to those engaged by a joystick. The most important difference between a joystick and a realĬyclic is that with the latter, the experience and the behaviour are more realistic. These observations are especially important for the cyclic, collectiveĬyclic: you either get a control which physically behaves and looks like one or Helicopters are also controlled simply by applying pressure instead (configured) because you want them to act immediately. They should therefore not have a zero zone They are inherently unstable, helicopters need continuous input from their controls. That is best suited to fly ing helicopters.

When using controls, it is important to configure your software in a way On this page, you will findĪn overview of the helicopter flight controls commonly used with simulation software.

If you want the simulator to reflect real experience. These must resemble real controls as much as possible In order to use simulation software, you need controls that provide input to it. Helicopter Simulator Flight Controls Catalogue Helicopter Simulator Flight Controls Catalogue
