⏱️Quick Start Guide

Getting Started

The CH47D is a rather simple aircraft to understand. The Tandem Rotor Design makes it an inherently stable helicopter, requiring no antitorque pedaling. Systems-wise, is what you would expect from an aircraft designed in the 1960s - your typical steam gauges.

You must, however, make sure your controls are correctly configured for helicopter flight. Out of the box, MSFS will interpret your regular throttle, elevator, and aileron axis as collective, cyclic longitudinal, and cyclic lateral axis respectively. However, it is important that if you are used to flying other helicopters, the CH47D does not make use of "Helicopter Throttle Axis" and therefore you must keep it deactivated on your hardware.

More information on how to configure your hardware is available here: Recommended Hardware Configuration
