How do make the helicopter hover mid air?

Sick!

Thanks! i'm actually working on a second one right now. Learned a lot from making this one. I'll probably have it public within the next couple days/week. (:

Cool, thanks! Great chopper btw, very well done!

It is, yeah

I am guessing "External Power" is ground hook up power? correct?

Perhaps a sort of autotrim that turns on in hover after a few seconds on no input

So : after months of trying behind the scenes, i still can't seem to figure out the flight imbalance problem, minor as it may be it frustrates the shit out of me. But, i hope you guys like this thing regardless. I suppose at this point if anyone figures it out and manages to get it balanced, feel free to repost it, i honestly don't care anymore lmao.

Its been done justice

@Youngblood,

I want to - but i just don't have the know how. I wanna get the flight stabilized, position hold functional properly, and hovering in place straightened up. But y'know, this was my first foray into aircraft and, it's been a lot more complicated than i anticipated. So, without help, it'll probably not see much in the way of updates.

do you plan to update this heli?

you should be able to do that through the logic inputs on the pilot chair if you really wanna change 'em

is there any way you can change the controls like it would be better if you had throttle/collective up=shift down=ctrl and for rudder q=left e=right

Oh oops! i just realised i misread your comment, there's also vision modes on the camera, my bad. haha.

This is a pretty neat helo! Just wondering, what do the buttons on the camera view and the "C" button in the beacon locator and radio finder map views do?

Thank fuck for that haha, good to hear!

Engine starts fine now!

Alright, i just pushed an update, let me know if it's working now? i tried a patch the other day but i don't think it uploaded so i backdated to an earlier build, hopefully it's resolved now

at this time, no

I think Steam takes a day or two to update it

It still hasn't updated properly? ...i really have no clue what's going on with steam

Nice chopper!

but the engine won't start, and I figured out why it didn't, the reason was, that the starter motors didn't have an electric node connected to them, after connecting an electric node, the engine starts

heli looks cool but the engines wont turn on

Ngl - i'm not very good with the gyro stuff.. like, at all. As i said before i'm basically brand new to aircraft, and i'm trying to figure it out but, at times it feels like i'm way over my depth. Lol

played around with it last night for 3-4 hrs , its nice , need a gyro for normal flight to stabilize it like autohover for normal flight and for sitting still , then maybe one right behind it for the autopilot ect that cuts the first off , its a great design tho , maybe swap the outside winch to inside cause its less chance of falling off the chopper lol , then just one for underneath for hauling stuff - the sprayer off the blue hawk warden works great .

@Cailean - it's a little late here, but my discord's : beardeddepression , i likely won't accept til morning, however.
@FireFrost - Yeah, there's more planned, but for now i'd really like to figure out the flight and hover stability issues. I'm extremely new to aircraft so, it may take me a while.

a few things , needs another harness for the victim , needs a fire sprayer , position hold , where the wind doesn't shove it 15 miles away lol , and some type of magnet system for under neath to grab cargo or boats ect that need serviced , be good to have it float lol not asking to much =)

Ynw, if you have discord I could totally just make you a thumbnail.

Thank you - that means a lot - i'd love to but i'm absolute dogshit at thumbnails unfortunately haha

This thing looks amazing, PLEEEEASE fix the thumbnail to give it justice. Its way to streached and not eye catching rn and i think making it simply non streached with some text would get this thing a top spot.
