Rosefinch mk2 WIP

Features a fully interactable glass cockpit, with possibly the most advanced autopilot (AFCS) on the workshop; fully IFR capable with pseudo ILS all couplable to the autopilot.

If you have not already done so, I recommend you rebind "interact right" to left mouse button, so that you can click on the screens with the mouse.

Whilst it is entirely possible to fly in SAS mode, it is for take offs and landings only at speeds below 110 kias, for beginners and flight with the autopilot, enable a combination of ATT and FT (refer to autopilot guide below).

<<<Important note: If you are used to the cyclic controls on arrow keys and collective and yaw on WSAD, then find the AFCS mk5-2 microcontroller (if is in front of the engines, at the top), scroll down to the very bottom of the properties on the left, and toggle 'control scheme' to cyclic arrow keys>>>

Autopilot, multi-function display guides can be found here and/or additionally there is a video giving a quick demonstration of setting up an ils approach:

This aircraft should behave and fly like the real thing, there is even a basic translational lift model built in to the collective channel, so you can flare this helicopter on landing.

SAS / ATT (with force trim release)
HDG / IAS / ALT modes for 3 axis control and navigation, including ILS and waypoint coupling through the flight director
HVR mode for passive hover control

PFD - primary flight display, flight critical information
NAV - navigation information, waypoint handling, pseudo ILS, beacon finder, EGPWS enhanced ground proximity warning system
EICAS - engine, fuel and electrical system information
AFCS - autopilot mode and coupling selection
VIDEO - 3 axis gimbal camera/search light, tail and baggage bay cameras

CAS - crew alerting system, displays warning, caution and advisory messages
Tripple tachometer - displays engine and main rotor information
EICAS - permament engine information display, including fuel and fuel crossfeed configuration
RTU - radio tuning unit, 2 independent navigation and communication radios.

- range of 205km @ 150 knots
- VNE 150 knots

This aircraft features many redundant systems to provide a safe operating margin in the event of a single component failure. 2 independant engines each capable of supplying power for flight and electrical power for the avionics systems even with the complete failure of the opposite side engine. Independant comunication and navigation sources. A back up inertial reference attitude computer in the event of loss of a primary attitude source, or complete power loss. Emergency locator beacon with independant power supply.
- use the red harness when you use the winch. The amber harness is for survivors. [1] toggles winch down, [2] toggles winch up, [3] toggles winch light
- the cargo winch is controled from the center console (ATT, ALT and HVR autopilot modes and the gimbal camera can be used for accurate positioning)
- the engine cross-feed switches control which tank the engines fuel supply if from. E.g. if you loose all the fuel out of the LH tank, the #1 engine will flame out. Switch the #1 engine cross-feed switch and the #1 engine will use fuel from the RH tank.
- external power may be applied to the connector at the front left of the aircraft and enabled from the cockpit (switch will light up when connected)
