Yeah there is a fluid jet in this one and I thought it might be the culprit. Many thanks.

@Ash Hello there ! It's been a while indeed, but if I remember correctly, this heli first used a ducted fan to produce horizontal thrust while in flight to fly faster. I then switched to a different system, that involved a glitched fluid jet capable of pushing the craft to great speeds. I don't remember if the workshop version uses this system or not.
Either way, you can reuse those systems to increase your speed while flying !
Thank you for playing with this craft !

Appreciate this is an old build but would love to know how you achieved 100 knots with this if you're still around with SierraFox.

I have a heli using a similar controller and jet setup and mine can't go above 60 knots

semper paratus. the coast guard has one of these irl

Salut !

Je trouve que tu la très bien réaliser et j'ai eu une idée, je les repris et je fait le AS365 Dauphin F-GYLH du port du Havre a quelque exception prés [C'est juste de la peinture et des modification mineur car je suis pas très douée] c'est juste un travaille perso que je ne publierez pas.

J'aimerais bien te le montres pour avoir des conseil !

Merci

anyone else have the sliding doors get stuck?

Sure @DSS3_fan, please do !

Can I make a coast guard version of this with the License to Kill livery and upload it to the workshop?

Is it Jet-A1?

What fuel does the Heli take?

awesome Heli , the best shape Heli in SW , could you add Heater more Fuel and a hover stable mode ?

Thanks for the answer!

Hello there ! Don't worry, you aren't doing anything wrong, this helicopter is rather unstable because of it's tail rotor ( a ducted fan doesn't have a collective input sadly ).
So yeah, to perfectly hover, it requires constant job from the pilot, or to play around with the trim a bit

I am not sure if i am doing smething wrong so i am here to ask if theres a way of getting it to stay stable and not move in air?

after messing with it for over 30 minutes I got it over 5.5 rps once, turning on inf electricity, then spawning it new, starting it up, but this time once it got to 7.7 rps it freaked out, wobbling and sideswinging and hit the roof of the hangar and exploded lol

with and without infinite electricity *

Like others said, I too can only get it to 5.5 rps on flight mode.

I tried with and without electricity, I even tried heavy lift and again rps gets stuck on 5.50 and never high enough for liftoff

it doesn't refuel

Weaponized when?

I can only get it up to around 5.50 RPM

I have finally figured out how to fly this helecopter took me way to long to figure it out ngl it’s pretty good

As for the equipment, there is some, hidden under the seats, but it wasn't designed to be a super efficient multi purpose career helicopter, so yeah, you get the strict minmimum for rescue missions.
For the very angled flight position, it's the only solution to get to reasonable speeds, without having to add a tilting rotor, complicating the whole thing even more.

Hello @Puotek. I read your comment several times and decided to answer. First of all, thanks for the kind words about the look. Concerning the stability issues, it's probably caused by your way of piloting it, indeed, it has very sensitive controls, but that's easy to change directly in the seat. Avoid rolling during descent, it freaks the gyro out.
Turning while landed probably comes from heavy wind, the machine is pretty light and the wind is overpowered to the point where even large boats and submarines can get tipped over by it. Or it's not properly landed. Idling the engine at ground is the best option to make sure it won't go.

It looks incredible. However, nearly everything else is ehh. There is very little equipment, there is no winch panel in the back and it likes to behave wierdly like for example turn in spot when landed with eng on or glitch around during flight, it is also very unconvinient that it is in a very steep angle during flight. The automatic water escape thing is cool, but it doesnt work that well, bc its still hard to swim out, and that heli sinks really quick.

Overall very cool and good looking helicopter, but lacking in equipment, reliability, flight handling and safety. By the looks its a 11/10. Everything else is 3/10 :/

is there a way to stop it from wiggling

IT DOESNT WORK IVE BEEN PLAYING WITH IT FOR THE LAST FREAKING 3O MINS AND I CANT EVEN GET THE ROTORS STARTED PLUS READ THE WHOLE ARTCILE 7 TIMES

Fix the RPS ? what do you mean?

can you pls fix the RPS

@RAMBO061994 what physics level are you playing on ? If it's set on low, it can break pivots and stuff like that

Its really weird everytime i spawn it the gear gliches out and the helicopter just start turning and going everywhere... Does anyone know how to fix it?

It has a flight controller already. You need to play with the trim a bit to get it stable, I couldn't fix the roll problem

Alright it was the RPS for now thought it was weird controls because I had taken off for a bit and it wouldn't lift anymore probably because RPS went under.

I can't even take off. It won't let me.

Really nice but please add a auto hover as its rlly hard to use for missions when you cant hover it

Noce

amazing job, best 65 ive seen, only issue ive had is a yaw wobble in flight.

"Helicpoter", nice :P

a heater would be nice

for some when i have AP and ALT hold on it drops altitude after a little bit and i cant regain that altitude.

Hey @GERUNIMO thanks man, I appreciate the kind comment a lot, I got some other projects running, in the same style... Maybe I'll post some soon, if I find the time to finish and polish those crafts !

FRONK

Very awesome Helicopter! You captured the sleek look of this helicopter very well, she looks GREAT! Besides looks she flies great and performs her intended roll(s) very nicely! Thanks for sharing your hard work with us!

There is a dial, right next to the artificial horizon, giving you the altitude in meters.

how do you get altitude

@Flashpoint25 Merci beaucoup, ça fait très plaisir !

@Bennie OOF, no "Pedro" is the name given to helicopters dedicated to pilot recovery in the french navy. Before the Dauphin it was the Alouette III !

Bravo le résultat est vraiment trop sympa.

At first I read "pedo" before i noticed it was "pedro"

this is cool!

I love the automatic door opening when crashing on the sea, it just makes escaping so easy. Good work, nice creation!
