Most stable amphibious helicopter it floats so well

Sorry for asking this but where do you refuel it once landed?

can you make an oh-80 sar

Could I ask for a version without the invisible ducted fan? It makes minute manuvers really difficult.

ok thanks for the help

It's probably from their new control changes they implemented in the last week. I haven't played since they changed.

It takes them a while to sort out their new features since there's no test branch anymore...

@𐍄𐍅𐌰𐌻𐌹𐍆 I go in the red one, I have same issue for every helicopter i've downloaded, not just yours, would you know why?

@Jace N. C-371 | M-371: You need to be in the "command" harness, the red one. Then the controls will be displayed in the control window (if you don't have it hidden)

New to the game so I might be doing something wrong, but why can I not go up or down on any of the harnesses in the heli's??

Thank you so much !! This is really good for a singe player like me :,))

Love it!
Pros: lets you command the hoist and have a victim strap, has a control sheet on the side, has a platform under the hoist so you don't fall, and is compatible with omni bucket and sling.
Cons:
kinda likes to drift when you try and hover, making it difficult for hoist rescues when you have to stay in a specific spot.
overall 8 1/2 of 10

@Cromwell:

Thanks! I've thought about doing a Sea King. Maybe after some other builds I'll get back to a few helis. What I've learned with making my Canadair could be applied to it well.

I love the fleet of Omni SAR helos
I don't suppose as a heavy SAR helicopter you'd look at something like the old RAF Sea King helicopters in future? :P

Nice update today. The Fan smoothing has helped. But if you dont mind me saying, the fan is still accelerating too fast and the chopper decelerates too fast. Your on the right track. Flight dynamics of the OH30 are really good. This one needs a bit more work.. It still feels like I'm fighting the helicopter when I'm flying it. Rescue sling still gets stuck in the door.. and when using it in the master harness, its really lucky if you get out of the sling over the platform.

@dat epic bunny: Hotkey 2 (sling load signal) opens the nozzles to drop the water. The lid to fill it should automatically open and close when being dunked in and out of the water. If it's not working as intended make sure that you didn't accidentally cut off the bottom of the bucket when copy/pasting it.

what button opens the omni bucket for this heli

Just tap the keys... works wonders for fine adjustments. It doesn't go to 100% instantly.

Just extend and retract the winch arm... it will pull you into the door far enough to easily get out. There's a secondary winch inside that can pull the harness all the way in for storage also.

I'm using the keyboard for cyclic, collective and rudder, so I don't have the option to stay within 30% forward cyclic. I can use a joystick or gamepad, but it just seems overkill for stormworks and prefer the keyboard. Not sure how your able to use the rescue harness and not fall off the platform 50% of the time, so please let me know your secret.

@Buzz313TH:

Sounds like you are being a bit heavy handed on the controls and impatient with the winch.

The harness does fit through the door and step wont flip you if you don't jerk the winch against it.

In my testing I had no issues falling while using the winch.

The fan doesn't engage until you have over 30% forward cyclic/pitch so it gives room for maneuvering. I know the fan isn't the ideal solution, but it's 1000% better then a heli that can only fly 60knots or tilt forward 80 degrees to go 100knots...

You might be better off letting it hover at water level and simply walking in and out of the rear ramp... npcs on follow will even follow you right up and out of the water.

Really want to like this build, but executing a simple rescue at sea was an absolute PITA.. The hoist out the right pax door is a poor setup. Exiting the command hoist half the time results in a fall to the water and without a remote, then I have to no clip back to the helo. The door is too small and the hoist wont fit. And every time I hoist past the step, it flips the command hoist upside down. The forward fan cheat to increase forward speed needs some subtlety. Will give the rest of your helos a try in a career scenario and report back.

Thanks!

Yeah they even take damage well from the AI forces... I was surprised how well this took damage from a AAA gun.

I've got a few more models to release then will probably either finish up the tilt rotor or do some planes.

I find that for some reason, this is very resilient to damage. I was flying along in foggy weather trying to locate a distress signal, i basically slammed the tail into a cliff. I was still able to maintain control and I even completed the mission! Also, all of your Omni helicopters are very nice. My favorite is the OH-60.

Nice helo. Theres only one other helo on the Workshop that runs this well. g/j
