Shergood Flight System
Core Features
- Independent cyclic, collective, throttle and anti-torque controls
- Force/torque based physics model
- Realism features can be enabled or disabled to adjust level of difficulty.
- Helicopter weight changes as fuel is burned.
- Main rotor torque (pedals must be used to compensate)
- Independent engine and rotor RPM
- True power-off autorotations
- Ground effect increases lift near surfaces (land, water, or prim)
- Translational lift increases lift with forward airspeed
- Translating tendency results in a "left skid low" look during hover.
- Vortex ring state danger exists when helicopter is mishandled
- Refueling system with fuel quantity control
- Working electrical system with rechargeable battery.
- Weight dependent performance (fuel and passengers)
- Paint kit system for user customizable painting
- Unique N-number and serial number assigned to each aircraft
- HOBBS meter tracks total time on aircraft
- Dust/water effects when hovering near a surface
- Animated hand and foot movements track moving cockpit controls
- Collision detection/crash system alerts on crashes
- Fully functioning dual controls
- Access control system: owner only, guest or registered pilots
- Retreating blade stall (SA-FE 1.3.1 and later)
