Hey guys! So in the vid there’s a scene where a random player joins the private lobby uninvited. This is a known issue and is actively being fixed. The player is a tester of the game, and before this video was even made, had already informed Paolo of the bug. Paolo is working on the fix as well as a new feature to entirely hide your server from the public browser as well. In the current state, no sensitive info is public, so otherwise there’s no security concerns regarding privacy while playing the game.

It is a very captured market, and Qualcomm supplied 10m chips for units, though I'm not sure how many units shifted so far. Whatever it is, VTOLVR is singly the best cockpit sim.

[@switchblade06]

The reason you roll when you go to fast is because of Retreating Blade stall. Basically as you increases your airspeed the forward blades get faster and the retreating blades get slower. eventually they stall.

[@switchblade06]

@DownloadPizza both, my dad got his private pilots license when I was around 11 been flying most my child hood and adult life. and alot ALOT of DCS (Digital Combat Simulator)

[@stealthy1352]

KZbin probably

[@ceremyjlarkson9475]

As an actual helicopter pilot, I can confirm this. It's one of the things you learn when learning cross country and higher speed maneuvers. Blade stall doesn't usually happen with any piston engine helicopter as they don't have enough power, but turbine powered helicopters certainly can get enough speed together to do it.

[@automotivebuff3202]

How would you counter/recover the stall?

[@MyKillerson]

Retreating blade stall does not actually cause a roll. Due to the phenomenon know as Gyroscopic Procession (but it's not really. It's just the universal term accepted for flight training. It's a whole rabbit hole if you're interested enough to get into it.) Retreating blade stall actually manifests as a violent and sudden pitch upward. Basically, "Gyroscopic Procession" dictates that in a rotating body, any action will manifest 90⁰ later. So, in the case of rotating blade stall, the retreating blade looses lift, now suddenly the advancing blade is creating a lot more lift (relatively). Logic would dictate that it would cause a left hand roll, but realistically because of "Gyroscopic Procession" the "extra" lift manifests 90⁰ later, at the nose of the aircraft, causing a pitch up. It's probable that the developer knows enough about helicopter flight dynamics to know about retreating blade stall, but not enough about them to know about Gyroscopic Procession and how it effects the aircraft.

[@changeling5984]

That "uncontrollable roll" you mentioned was the aircraft 'trim' [I think?], all the other aircraft in the game 'trim' themselves meaning that if you let go of the joystick the aircraft will continue in the direction you pointed it at. The AH-94 does not trim itself so you have to do it manually when you are holding the joystick and using Touchpad (on the VIVE). Also 'trimming' the AH-94 aids in the control of Yaw and Pitch. You can see what the 'trim' is by looking at the green box on the bottom right of the HUD, the empty circle is the 'trim'. Hope this helps.

[@Nexi_wolf]

its most likely rotor over speed all helicopters do it. if your IAS is too much the side of the rotor that moves forward loses lift on one side hence a roll. has happened to me many times in the hind on dcs

[@OperatorDrewski]

Precisely! I watched some vids on it to learn how to avoid it. I've flown a bunch of planes in these sims but never helis that simulated this! Pretty cool to feel like a noob again heheh

[@snodi97]

@@OperatorDrewski Retreating Blade Stall can in some situations (depending on attitude, airspeed and collective/cyclic inputs) be resolved or minimized by lowering collective and (slowly!) reducing airspeed by carefully applying small aft cyclic input.

[@SteviePonder123]

[@n1njat0rak47]

14:31 that rolling is called retreating blade stall, its basically your aircraft moving so fast that one side of the rotors are stalling while the other side are producing lots of lift, in turn causing you to roll over and crash

[@TheSmizen]

Insane realism lmao

[@loweflyer7778]

Its because the advancing blade has faster air flowing around it than the retreating blade which creates more lift on the advancing blade, and less lift on the retreating blade, and the effect becomes more pronounced with airspeed. Anyone know if VTOL also simulates VRS? I have flown the heli a fair amount, and have not seen it happen, but with DCS I have it happen somewhat frequently with the huey.

[@KieranVella]

I don't think so, Retreating blade stall should make the copter roll to the left, I have the same issue from time to time even when flying slow, I think its my Quest losing track of the controller and forcing it hard over.

[@matthewchido8450]

Want to fly with me?

[@zachk362]

14:28 This happens when you are at a high speed in a helicopter. Due to your relative speed to the air, the rotors are moving through the air at different speeds on the left side of the aircraft vs the right producing different levels of lift. Doing any hard maneuvers in this state will induce a roll towards the side of weaker lift as it is unable to properly support the aircraft's maneuver. Lower collective and induce pitch slowly while manually adjusting for the roll at high speeds.

I ran this totally fine on a 3570k and 1080 (I even flew DCS in VR on that). It's even supposed to run on just a 970. So if you've got something around that ballpark, it's just getting the headset, a Q2 is 300 bucks (350 in EU). Works well with AirLink as well, you'll just need to have your rig wired to a Wifi 5 or 6 capable router or AP and ideally be in the same room for the best Wifi connection. Otherwise, I'd recommend getting the cable from VR Cover instead of the Oculus/Meta one.

Retreating blade stall causes a roll as you are moving forward a blade is going backwards to create lift. If the net velocity isn’t high enough on the retreating blade, that side of the rotor will stall and basically put you into a spin like a fixed wing plane!
