Helicopter spins out of control in Editor

[Mirror Mirror]

Im trying to get some heli footage in the arma 3 Editor but when I begin the scenario and fly the heli, it keeps spinning and I cant seem to fix it (Im new to the editor btw)

Help will be appreciated!

Hello there,

Did you change the condition/health option of the helicopter? It usually starts to spin as soon as you start if it's rotors are damaged. Otherwise it should work perfectly, I have never had an issue like that before and I spent more than 300 hours in the editor so far.

I found it, it was something to do with the dificulty or something, thanks for the help anyway! Much appreciated!!

Yep! In real life tail rotor is to maintain direction and it is neccesary to give full pedal left or right(depends on US or Rus heli) to stop heli from spinning-on take off, if spin takes a full range it is imposible to stop it and heli is going down.....ask any heli pilot!

It seems like it's actually easier to hold the helicopter stable if you got a broken tail rotor but still speed. If you slow down you will spin like a donut from narnia.

That is becouse aerofoil of a heli maintain direction stability on high speeds, more speed-more drag and pressure on the surface of the heli that will keep it heli in one direction, BI made that good!
