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)
