Torque reaction during auto's

[StuLes20]

Hi
An issue that was present in FS20 and remains in FS24.
Torque reaction during the latter part of helicopter auto-rotation as collective is raised.
The same issue exists for hovering auto-rotations.

As collective is raised, the heli rotates in the same direction as if torque is applied to the rotor.
eg, in the H500C, with the engine off, raise the collective, the nose goes right.

Since the rotor is ‘freewheeling’ (like and autogyro) there is no mechanical connection for the rotor to transmit torque back to the heli.

Hey Stules,

this goes back to the fact the there is no freewheeling unit in the sim.

During autorotation the rotor will not only build rpm by itself, it is also pulling up the drive shaft rpms since engines and rotor are not disconnected.
