HELICOPTER SPECIFIC EVENTS

The event IDs listed here are those that are specifically tied to helicopter systems.

 

 

General

Event Name Parameters Description
AUTO_HOVER_OFF N/A

Disable the auto-hover function of the helicopter, if one is available.

NOTE: This is currently not implemented in the Simulation
AUTO_HOVER_ON N/A

Enable the auto-hover function of the helicopter - if one is available.

NOTE: This is currently not implemented in the Simulation
AUTO_HOVER_SET [0]: True/False (1, 0)

Set the auto-hover - if available - to either on (True, 1) or off (False, 0).

NOTE: This is currently not implemented in the Simulation
AUTO_HOVER_TOGGLE N/A

Toggle the auto-hover - if available - between on (True, 1) and off (False, 0).

NOTE: This is currently not implemented in the Simulation
AXIS_COLLECTIVE_SET [0]: Set the collective (0 to 16384) Set the collective pitch angle (a value from 0 to 1 interpolated from the 0 to 16384 input).
AXIS_STEERING_SET (helicopters) [0]: Set the steering amount (-16384 to 16384) Set the steering axis value from -1 to 1 (interpolated from the -16384 to 16384 input).
AXIS_TAIL_ROTOR_SET [0]: Set tail rotor speed (0 to 16384) Sets the tail rotor speed as a value from 0 to 1 (interpolated from the 0 to 16384 input).
COLLECTIVE_DECR N/A Decrease the engine collective by 0.05. Minimum value is clamped to 0.
COLLECTIVE_INCR N/A Increase the engine collective by 0.05. Minimum value is clamped to 0.
DECREASE_HELO_GOV_BEEP [0]: value

If the helicopter has an engine trimmer, this event can be used to decrease the nominal engine/rotor RPM that the governor is trying to maintain.

The amount that the trim will be adjusted by is set using the engine_trim_rate CFG parameter, and the min and max achievable values are set using engine_trim_min and engine_trim_max. Alternatively, you may supply a value that will override that set in the engine_trim_rate CFG parameter (the min and max values will still be used).
INCREASE_HELO_GOV_BEEP  [0]: value

If the helicopter has an engine trimmer, this event can be used to increase the nominal engine/rotor RPM that the governor is trying to maintain.

The amount that the trim will be adjusted by is set using the engine_trim_rate CFG parameter, and the min and max achievable values are set using engine_trim_min and engine_trim_max. Alternatively, you may supply a value that will override that set in the engine_trim_rate CFG parameter (the min and max values will still be used).
SET_HELO_GOV_BEEP [0]: value

This is used to set the helicopter engine trimmer value directly as a negative or positive deviation from 1, where 1 is the rated nominal engine RPM.

The final engine trimmer value will be limited according to the engine_trim_min and engine_trim_max settings.

CYCLIC_LATERAL_LEFT N/A Change the lateral cyclic (left) by -0.098 when pressed. If held down, the change will happen more rapidly.
CYCLIC_LATERAL_RIGHT N/A Change the lateral cyclic (right) by 0.098 when pressed. If held down, the change will happen more rapidly.
CYCLIC_LONGITUDINAL_DOWN N/A Change the longitudinal cyclic (down) by -0.049 when pressed. If held down, the change will happen more rapidly.

HELICOPTER_THROTTLE2_FULL

 N/A Set throttle 1 or 2 to full.

HELICOPTER_THROTTLE1_SET

HELICOPTER_THROTTLE2_SET

 [0]: Throttle value (0 to 16384) Set throttle 1 or 2 based on the input value. The input is between 0 and 16384, which will be normalised to a value between 0 and 1.
