S-64/General

SECTION 1. GENERAL

1 N-NUMBER ASSIGNMENT

When you rez your aircraft for the first time, it will attempt to contact registration server and assign you a unique N-number. If for some reason the server cannot be contacted, the aircraft will retain the "N-TEMP" registration. You can attempt to register again either by rerezing the aircraft, or by going to the @REGISTER menu and selecting the [Register Now] button. When an aircraft has not been registered, the @REGISTER will be available on the main menu. Once the aircraft is registered, you can access the @REGISTER menu as a sub-menu of the @Admin menu.

You can also request a different N-number through the @REGISTER menu. Select the [N Number] button and enter an N-Number request. The N-number must be in a valid format, and must not be assigned to another aircraft. Valid N-Numbers must begin with an "N", followed by 3 to 5 alpha-numeric digits (however, only the last two digits may be letters). Alternatively you can select one of the international registration formats L-LLLL or LL-LLL where the "L" are letters. Your distribution also comes with a registration certificate. You can use this to fetch and display your registration information, but its use is optional and not required to assign or change N-numbers for your aircraft.

2 CONTROLS

This aircraft supports two separate control schemes. Control scheme 1 features a traditional layout with the cyclic controlled by the arrow keys, whereas control scheme 2 features a "two handed" layout with either both hands on the keyboard, or left hand on keyboard and right hand on the mouse. Regardless of the scheme selected, controls can also be moved through the HUD by pressing and holding the left mouse button and dragging the appropriate slider in the HUD. In both control schemes, some key commands are activated through gestures included in a box as part of the product carton. Key commands requiring a gesture are marked with a [G] in the key command lists below.

2.1 CONTROLS LAYOUT "K" (KEYBOARD)

Keyboard control features a traditional layout with the cyclic controlled by the arrow keys.

Key	Description
Left/Right/Up/Down (or A/D/W/S)	Cyclic (Left/Right/Forward.Back)
PgUp/PgDown (or E/C)	Collective (Up/Down)
R/V	Throttle (Up/Down) [G]
L. Mouse + Left/Right (or A/D)	Pedals (left/right)*
Shift-Left/Shift-Right	Alternate pedal control (not available in mouselook)
Z/X	Alternate pedal keys (left/right) [G]
.	Center cyclic [G]
p	Toggle camera view [G]
q	Toggle fine control [G]

• NOTE ON PEDALS: Because the left mouse button is intercepted by the touch scripts in the heli, the L.Mouse + Arrow key combination will only work in mouselook, or in external view modes. There is also a "mouselook touch" mode that is toggled by the "mlt" chat command. This toggles whether mouse clicks while in mouselook affect switches and buttons in the cockpit, or are used for pedals.

2.2 CONTROLS LAYOUT "H" (HUD OR TWO-HANDED KEYBOARD)

Key	Description
Up/Down (or W/S)	Collective (Up/Down)
Left/Right (or E/C)	Anti-Torque Pedals
J/L/I/K	Cyclic left/right/forward/back [G]
.	Center cyclic [G]
p	Toggle camera view [G]
q	Toggle fine control [G]

3 AFT PILOT CONTROLS

There is a separate set of controls for the aft pilot designed for fine control in a hover. The aft pilot controls operate through the AFCS in hover mode. To operate the aft controls, set the REMOTE STICK switch near the aft pilot cyclic stick to the ON position and ensure that the AFCS is operating in hover mode. When the stick is active, the green ENGAGED light will illuminate. The aft pilot key controls are:

Key	Description
Left/Right/Up/Down (or A/D/W/S)	Cyclic (Left/Right/Forward.Back)
PgUp/PgDown (or E/C)	Collective (Up/Down)
PgUp/PgDown (or E/C)	Hoist Up/Down when "hoist control mode" is active.

Autopilot will also disconnect when rotor rpm is less than 80% or primary power is lost. Note than when airspeed is less than 40 knots, heading hold will be accomplished with pedals, while when airspeed is greater than 40 knots, heading is controlled with lateral cyclic.

6.1 Takeoff with autopilot

Center controls and press the HVR button to enable autohover. The target altitude will be set to the current altitude. Change the target altitude to a value above the current value, and the aircraft will automatically lift into a hover at the selected altitude.

6.2 Landing with autopilot

From a hover, enter an altitude below the ground level (e.g. 0). The aircraft will descent and land lowering collective when it touches the ground. You may also enter a negative value for the vertical speed with the same result.

9 CAMERA

The default camera position is inside the cockpit with a view through the front glass. It is also possible to switch to an outside "follow cam" view. Wear the "cameraViews" gestures and use the "p" key to toggle views. In addition, it is possible to fly in mouselook when using one of the keyboard based flight control methods.

10 FINE CONTROL

The "fc" chat command or "q" gesture command toggle fine control for key commands. While fine control is active, key commands will have half the effect the do in regular mode. This can be useful when higher precision is need such as for making an accurate landing on a small platform.
