DS-16 and Vbar auto bailout

[johnjonfenomenon]

How did you guys program it so that you could setup the bailout throttle curve can override all the other throttle curves.

It would be awesome if somehow and Im sure its possible to create the bailout so that it operates like a Helijive bailout.

basically if by hitting your throttle hold it starts off at your bailout throttle curve. Then you add a timing mechanism saying that if you don't bailout from your auto within 10 seconds, it just goes to a flat zero curve.

But for now Id settle with some advice on how to get a switch for bailout to override all the other flight modes including throttle hold.

Well I just figures out the override any flight mode part. The secret lies in how you order the flight modes. So what I have is this. for my flight mode Menu.

With this setup I merely swapped my throttle hold switch from SH to SF. My SF switch has a pre-flight check set to the down position. This ensures that I always plug in with throttle hold to avoid a hot start or accidental bump of the throttle stick. This switch has a priority over all other switch conditions. So when starting the heli up, I move the SF switch up in order to get into my normal throttle curve. I could have set my normal curve to a linear flat curve, but I chose to have a 0 position in this as well.


1. Throttle Hold (SF)
2. Auto-Bailout (SH)
3. Idle 2 (Sa)
4 .Idle 1 (Sa)
5. Normal (Sa)

My associated flight 5 pt curves are as follows
1) 0 0 0 0 0
2) -1 -1 -1 -1 -1
3) 100 100 100 100 100
4) 95 95 95 95 95
5) 0 90 90 90 90

I believe he is talking about autorotation bailout...
