mllgrennman Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Hi. Are there any helicopters with an autopilot for Flightsim? Any platform..payware or freeware... I don't know how real chopper pilots hand-fly for hours, but it's more than I can do...even in a sim! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred0311 Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 You might try checking forums specifically for the sim you play versus a real world helicopter forum. But yes there is a long list of helicopters that can be fitted with autopilot. If any of then are available in your simulator and if they model the autopilot is a completely seperate question that we can't answer.

I've done different company 'cockpit procedures training devices' or whatever the legalistic term is for non-loggable simulators. I've done a couple 'full motion' simulators, too., and I can't land or lift in them, and can only approximate a hover in them, so don't feel bad. I have more than a hundred thousand helicopter landings in my log and the worst of them was better than the best I ever did in a sim. I can fly a sim like an airplane, but that's entirely different than a helicopter. I fly real helicopters like I walk- I see what's happening and I change it to what I want. Sometimes the dials and gauges affect how that's done but mostly it's visual and proprioceptive, I feel those changes just like walking, except I react with the controls.

nightsta1ker Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 The only way to fly helicopter simulators on anything close to a real level you need usb helicopter controls. There are several companies that make them. None of them are cheap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTavarez23 Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Flight sim is different with real life flying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
