Unhappy Helis, Adjust Pitch curve in any flight mode

Hello, i was flying helis in G3 with this simulator and we can't adjust collective curves in it like in G2, this feature is very useful for us, heli pilots. So, can i adjust collective pitch curve? or if it doesn't exist now, can you add this feature to the simulator?

Thank you for your attention.

If you are using the software radio, which is the default for all aircraft, you can edit/create the pitch curves in the Aircraft Editor. If you are using the Interlink controller as a Pass Through, then you would edit the pitch curve in your radio.

Many pilots today are using linear pitch curves from about -10 to +10. This is the setup that most of the helicopters in G3 use by default. You can change the radio setup to support one or more pitch curves if that is what you would like.

On the left side of the Aircraft Editor, expand the Software Radio item so you can see the list of Output Channels. This is just like a regular Futaba radio. Output Channel 6 controls the Pitch. Expand Output Channel 6 and click on the Input item. Note the settings, particularly the Input Channel value. Right click the Input item and select Delete Input Feed.

Now that you have eliminated the old Simple Input Feed, you will need to create a new Complex Input Feed. Complex Input Feeds include a curve that you can edit. Simple Input Feeds do not include curves.

Right click on the Output Channel 6 item and select Add Complex Input Feed. Select the Input that you just created and change the Input Channel value to match the one from the Simple Input Feed that you deleted a few steps back.

If you want to add multiple pitch curves, you can do that now. You will also need to change the values of the Input Feed When so that only one pitch curve is active at a time. The Output Channel 3 already does this for Normal and Idle Up, so you should be able to copy the details from there.

Now to editing the curve. Click the <Graph Points> text that is visible when you select the Output Channels 6 Input. Then click the little [...] button that appears on the right. This will bring up the curve editor.
