====Flight controls==== | ====Flight controls==== | ||
* Rudder (Aileron input is transferred to the rudder for convenience.) At low speed the rudder is automatically augmented by a tail mounted side thruster controlled by the flight control system. | |||
* Elevator | |||
====Engines and thrust vectoring==== | |||
The Zeppelin NT has a non-standard set of engine controls. The engines' throttles are controlled by govenors - the throttle levers select the desired RPM. | |||
Engine controls | |||
* PgUp/PgDown - Increase/decrease selected engine RPM. | |||
* M/m - Leaner/richer mixture. | |||
Thrust vectoring | |||
* [/] - Swivel side engines up/down. 120 - 0 degrees. | |||
* G/g - Swivel aft engine down/up. -90/0 degrees. | |||
* N/n - Decrease/increase thrust (i.e. propeller blade angle). | |||
Take off/Landing: max RPM, use thrust levers for control. | |||
Cruise: thrust levers for max thust, use engine RPM select for control. | |||
====Gas and Envelope==== | |||
* F/f - Open/close the gas valve. | |||
* Q/q - Inflate/deflate fore ballonet. | |||
* A/a - Inflate/deflate aft ballonet. | |||
====Ballast==== | ====Ballast==== | ||
The Zeppelin NT has no ballast approved for inflight adjustment. | |||
* w - Show current on-ground weight. Only works when on the ground. | |||
* W - Weigh off to 700lbs heavy by adding/removing ballast. Takes about 10 seconds and is only applicable when on the ground. | |||
* D/d - Drop ballast in 1%/0.1% decrements. | |||
====Ground crew / Mooring mast==== | ====Ground crew / Mooring mast==== | ||
* Y - Release mooring mast connection or wire. | |||
* U - Attach mooring wire. Only possible when close to the mooring mast. | |||
* y/u - Play out/winch in mooring wire. | |||
* Alt + click on terrain - Place the mooring mast. | |||
Landing short of the mast and taxing up to it allows precision control. | |||
Use the rear thruster to keep the tail wheel in the air while taxing. | |||
